Tell me about Northwestern University. We might be coming for a look see in a few weeks. My daughter Melanie just got in, and it's the only school that she applied to that we haven't visited. This year colleges are getting record numbers of applications, and poor Mel is in waitlist hell (at both Middlebury and Wash U in St. Louis). We know two kids at Northwestern who LOVE it but it's soooooo far away. We're waiting on 5 more schools.

Subject: FYI i dreamed that there was a new variety show, hosted by jeff tweedy, entitled *Submarine*, and taking place on a submarine. (although, being a dream, there were also scenes in which tweedy was strolling around in the out-of-doors, playing an acoustic guitar and singing.) my dream-self was of the opinion that the first episode compared favourably with *Hee Haw*. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 11:23:36 -0700 From: Subject: Propellor Time Sorry if this has already been said (I'm on the digest), but it looks like it's now available for download from his site. I got the physical CD this week. It's a beautiful album, maybe my favorite of the three Venus 3 records. It has a very different mood than Goodnight Oslo. I love both of them, but this one edges the other out because of "Evolove," "Ordinary Millionaire," and "Star of Venus": I used to think Robyn's songs lost their edge and became less interesting the more he fiddled with them in the studio, but that's not the case here. spine Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2010 21:55:38 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Hey!

No artwork or liner notes in the digital download - which is a bit poor when compared to other vendors, who deliver more for less.

Mdrz 2010 10:44:35 -0500 regarding Re: Chicagoans!: > Chicago rocks FWIW, I was recently at an event where a sociologist (whose name I've forgotten) and Albert Speer jr. debated city planning. The discussion was a little light on specifics for my taste, but at the end both were asked which cities in the world they liked best and where they could imagine themselves living. Both agreed that Chicago is the *only* city in the US that deserves that name by European standards, in that it's organically grown, has an actual downtown etc. ... I'd already had in mind to visit Chicago at some point before that discussion, but now I *really* wanna see it! - -- Sebastian Hagedorn Am alten Stellwerk 22, 50733 Kvln, Germany http://www.uni-koeln.de/~a0620/ "Being just contaminates the void" - Robyn Hitchcock ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 22:00:02 +0100 From: Sebastian Hagedorn Subject: Re: Days of Elaine - -- Jill Brand is rumored to have mumbled on 27.

The next Phantom 45 is due on July 15th Alex Chilton * March 25, 2010, 12:56 pm "It.s difficult to accept that Alex Chilton is gone and won.t be back. He was always around, in his wry, low-key way, decorating the music world with his casual brilliance. From Norway to San Francisco to Milan he would be standing out there by the flight cases to greet you with his quizzical smile. He had something of the ex-patriot in him: even at home in the US, he seemed like a gentleman visiting from the past, most comfortable on the fringe of things. His refusal to stand centre-stage in Big Star was typical of this: he was too big a star to need to prove it, perhaps. The fount of indie-rock stems from him as much as from Arthur Lee, The Velvet Underground, and Syd Barrett. His lack of interest in stardom and all the steps up to it was, and will be, a constant inspiration to many of us, as much as his sweet, dark, soulful music. Myriad musical roads met in Alex, and he diverted their course to his own artistic purposes with much grace and few illusions. All of us who knew of him will want to join me in sending our thoughts and condolences to Laura, his wife, and Jody Stephens, his collaborator of 40-odd years. He and I enjoyed many smoky moments over the years . it.s sad and perplexing to think that there.ll be no more. Last time I saw him we were exhaling out of a window in Shepherd.s Bush after the triumphant Big Star gig there in 2008. I can.t believe he.s not here any more. Alex?.
