One feels like it misses the point of appreciating these artists for what they really did well, and it's starting to reek of condescension-- condescension to the artists, their fans, music fans in general, etc. etc. etc. But apparently it's just me... everyone loves the Cash version of "Hurt", but I'd rather listen to "Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog" a couple hundred million times than wince through it again. And... why is always U2 and Tom Petty songs? JC's "Mercy Seat" is a whole 'nother matter, of course. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 16:39:18 -0700 From: "Stacked Crooked" Subject: huhn! just spied the word "verdigris" in a book i'm reading about the history of longitude. i guess i had always assumed it to've been a made-up-/nonsense- word. learn something new... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 16:56:20 -0700 From: "Jason Brown" Subject: Ryko Soft Boys CD Dump I have a big box of CDs that im taking to my local shop to sell.

I don't think I ever looked it up, but after I realized he wasn't saying "vertabrae", I recognized it as some kind latinate-thing meaning "in the neighborhood of green and grey" and haven't thought much of it since. I was sixteen or something, mainlining RH along with some of your basic lit... most likely I was listening to IODOT and reading Faulkner or something. Heard some preteen kids jamming in a little band today. The basic riffs that ya learn appear not to have changed in the last twenty years... after all this time, "Smoke on the Water"? I can't imagine kids having heard that from anything other than their guitar teachers. Still, this tiny little kid proclaimed his love for the Kinks in a very endearing way... we got a sort of half version of "Lola", but more impressively "Alcohol" and "Sunny Afternoon", which was all the more of a kick since I'd just seen Crowded House the night before, and Neil Finn had thrown a couple of verses of "Sunny" at the end of "In the Lowlands". It was that kind of weekend. Also learned that the Long Ryders are doing a reunion show soon, because the guy who's substituting on bass for them was the bassist in the stepdaughter's play's house band. And then there was Antonio Banderas, but I'd known he was going to show up eventually. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 00:38:13 -0400 From: gaseous clay Subject: DIME/LMA: 1997-03-12 Knitting Factory Robyn Hitchcock March 12, 1997 The Knitting Factory New York City, NY FLACs via BitTorrent: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=197258&hit=1 FLACs or MP3s via Live Music Archive: http://www.archive.org/details/robynhitchcock1997-03-12.cm-s20.flac16 01.

When you live in Europe I guess you are far more likely to encounter verdigris at a younger age. I think I learned the *English* word from that song, but its German name Gr"unspan (like former fed Greenspan) had been familiar to me for a long time because there are many churches in Germany that have copper tops covered with it. However, I just did some fact checking and learned that I've always been wrong about that! The copper patina is falsely called Gr"unspan! Apparently the only "correct" name in German is Kupferpatina, i.e. copper patina - how disappointing! Gr"unspan is copper acetate, which may be part of verdigris, but not the same thing as it. Rex wrote: I recognized it as some kind latinate-thing meaning "in the neighborhood of green and grey". Not so!

I recognized the "verte" and the "gris" from my high school French and ascribed latin origins to them, probably because I know that something akin to "ver" was "green" in at least two other Romance languages. Thus, a teenage etymological leap of intuition that seemed whimsical in a child has proven to make me look like a dumbass as a ful-ly grown a-dulllllllltt. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 10:02:59 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: huhn!
