The true tone for the fret occurs about halfway to the fingerboard. Not a good thing, of course, but in my limited understanding of the theory of how these things work, this seems hard to achieve, assuming you've put your frets in the right places. Fun little critters, though, ukes. Always make me miss having a mandolin around, though. Been watching a bunch of WWI era movies and the soldiers are forever carrying around fiddles and harmonicas, which had me idly thinking, what would I do for an instrument if I were stuck in the trenches and had limited baggage space? Can't hold with "backpacker" guitars and you can't sing while playing harmonica, so I think it'd be mandolin for me. In the spirit of wartime comraderie I'd even learn the requisite Zeppelin and REM songs everyone would want to hear, but mostly I'd pay Stooges covers and shit. All of which is to say that it's starting to palpably feel like the wartime era it is, to say nothing of deee-pressions (by any definition). - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 07:38:38 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: Mention of RH in Black Postcards On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 5:35 AM, Caroline Smith wrote: > I just started reading Dean Wareham's _Black Postards_ and came across a > reference to Robyn.

Caviezel, who shot to fame playing the role of the idealist private Witt in The Thin Red Line, has been cast in the Patrick McGoohan role as Number Six, the hero who finds himself trapped in a mysterious and surreal place known as The Village, with no memory of how he arrived. McKellen, who is best known globally for playing Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, will take the role of Number Two, the sinister head of The Village. ITV Productions is co-producing the six-part series with Granada International and AMC, the US cable network behind the critically acclaimed Mad Men, with a worldwide premiere slated for 2009. Initially, ITV Productions and AMC developed the project for Sky One, but the satellite broadcaster pulled out of the project in early 2006. The original series debuted in 1967 and was created, written and produced by McGoohan. ITV today said the remake, which has been written by Bill Gallagher, "will reflect 21st century concerns and anxieties, such as liberty, security and surveillance, yet also showcase the same key elements of paranoia, tense action and socio-political commentary seen in McGoohan's enigmatic original". Gallagher, who scripted BBC1's Lark Rise to Candleford, said: "I was haunted by The Prisoner when I saw it as a boy on its first broadcast. Here was something that was more than television, something I couldn't quite grasp but couldn't let go of. It's a unique opportunity for a writer to be able to go back to The Village and tell some new stories about that strange place and its surreal menace. "We have a terrific cast and a wonderful director, so we hope to serve up something as beguiling and disturbing as the original was." The Prisoner is an AMC and ITV Productions co-production and the deal gives ITV Worldwide all international rights, as well as sales and remake right to the original series. ITV DVD holds home entertainment rights. Gallagher will also executive produce along with Michele Buck, Damien Timmer and Rebecca Keane for ITV, and AMC's Charlie Collier, Christina Wayne and Vlad Wolynetz. The series' producer is Trevor Hopkins, who recently worked on the BBC1 Christmas adaptation of Dracula. The director is Jon Jones, whose credits include the ITV1 adaptation of Northanger Abbey and BBC4's The Alan Clark Diaries. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 11:36:25 -0400 From: "Stewart C.

The Brauniger Field Tuba is an excellent choice. It telescopes down to the size of a small, thick-sided dishpan, and can be brought to its full length within seconds. The mouthpiece conveniently tucks inside the folded unit via a nice flange, and the fingering mechanism also fits neatly within the "dishpan" when folded. (Trivia: the Brauniger Field Crapper is a portable privy that is, in fact, exactly the same item minus mouthpiece and fingering mechanism. Soldiers have been know to mischievously exchange the two items...the infamous "brown note" of wartime lore being a common gag. Another common trick is to try to use the mouthpiece to fart a low B-flat.) - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 11:43:51 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: OT: Possible New Prisoner On 7/1/08, kevin studyvin wrote: > > > *Ian McKellen to lead in ITV's The Prisoner remake* > > > > ITV1 has confirmed that Sir Ian McKellen and Jim Caviezel will star in > the > > network's reinvention of the 1960s thriller, The Prisoner, to be > broadcast > > next year. > > > > Caviezel, who shot to fame playing the role of the idealist private Witt > in > > The Thin Red Line, has been cast in the Patrick McGoohan role as Number > Six, > > the hero who finds himself trapped in a mysterious and surreal place > known > > as The Village, with no memory of how he arrived. > > > > > I'm afraid what will chiefly be missing is the wonderful sense of irony > that > informs almost every frame McGoohan was in. I smell a Prisoner remake > filled with deadly, angsty earnestness. Don't wanna go. It's a particular kind of irony, too - not the "too hip for the room - isn't this material inane?" thing, all too common - but more in No. 6's worldview itself. Arguably that slightly detached, superior viewpoint, graced with a kind of humor that doesn't pave over sincerity, is the thing that keeps the series from being merely a curio. At its best, anyway - its weaker episodes do seem a bit dated. By "dated" I mean "outdated," of course: it's obvious the series is from the '60s, and even though McGoohan resisted almost everything that would have located the series in its time (glaring exception "All You Need Is Love"), you can't escape your time: the attitudes, design, and cinematography all reek "sixties" in a major way. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 12:50:44 -0400 From: "(0% rh)" Subject: x-files movie trailer for interested fegs, and, of course, michael b.: http://www.xfiles.com/ that one's a bit overwrought, although i'm reminded how great that x-files theme song is. there are more trailers and clips if you ENTER SITE by clicking on a flag. i love this poster: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2723452416/tt0443701 i'm also looking forward to the batman movie, "the dark knight" that comes out on july 18th. i loved the most recent one, "batman begins", also directed by nolan. i actually think i've seen all the batman movies in the theatre - batman is great summer fun. xo - -- "people with opinions just go around bothering one another." -- the buddha ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 12:51:32 -0400 (EDT) From: Christopher Gross Subject: Re: Kunstler quotes "The Master" Meanwhile, am I the only one who saw that subject line and thought Kunstler was quoting Robyn?
