I think the key term there is "pretty good." Not great, but pretty good. The lyrics are annoyingly too on the nose a fair amount of the time though, so Mills is farther down the road to recovery than Stipe is (Buck's done enough outside R.E.M. to land most of the blame for Reveal and Around the Sun at there feet). It's sorta makes me think of what the last U2 album should have been, instead of being "Vertigo," and then 11 tributes to fucking Coldplay (although none of these songs are quite as terrifically brash and reinvigorated as "Vertigo," either). "I'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write. That's the problem: I don't want to satirize George Bush and his puppeteers, I want to vaporize them." -- Tom Lehrer "The eyes are the groin of the head." -- Dwight Schrute . ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

I missed that one! Gotta say, though: an album consisting almost entirely of tributes to fucking the members of Coldplay (singly? or en masse?) is an intriguingly bizarre concept.

Not quite as > rock'n'roll as asking Iggy Pop to cover your songs (but not his > nipples). Lyrically, it's all about Bono's dad which normally would be something that would make me a sucker since mine died going on 12 years ago, except that it's paired with a bunch of wannabe-Coldplay. Basically, they're ripping off all the guys who were whining when Radiohead started doing those weird things like Kid A, and decided to fill the alleged gap by writing 8th rate or worse versions of "No Surprises" over and over again. And U2 released a bunch of 3rd rate versions of that! "I'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write.

Hey all, I'm wrapping up this Robyn tribute thing so if anyone else wants to send a cover song, now is the time. Deadline for submission is April 30. Don't know what I'm talking about? Look here: http://glasshotel.net/glassflesh/ There are mp3 samples so you can hear a taste of what others have done. The project should have a "my space" page one of these days as well. b. - -- What bothers me about TV is that it tends to take our minds off our minds.

XIV I rarely remember my dreams, and when I do, they're typically very early morning, semi-awake things that seem bizarrely mundane...as in the following, which arrived this morning courtesy the usual dream express and took the format of a VH-1-like documentary on various fegs. If any of the below is actually true, of course, then I'll go into the psychic business. To wit: * Michael Godwin's father, Roger Godwin, was a member of early sixties British band The Winkies. (Note: I'm aware there actually was a band, in the '70s I think, of that name - but apparently my dream thinks there was a different one as well.) * James Dignan, sadly, suffered the loss of his fiancee when, on May 26, 1970, she was killed while riding in a horse-drawn cart. (I think James started his romantic life rather young...) In fact, yes: my dreams do sometimes feature actual dates. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 12:57:19 -0700 From: Eleanore Adams Subject: no RH content: Rate my Travel video Guys - I made a video to attempt to win a fee trip to Slovakia.
