Subject: In Case You Were Wondering new greg laswell disc is just great. every bit the equal of *Alto Nido* -- probably a bit better. sounds more like a joseph arthur album, actually. you may recall that my big three so far this year are black rebel motorcycle club, archie bronson outfit, and ted leo. i think that leo is gradually emerging as the leader of that pack. my second three would be josh ritter, the new pornos, and greg laswell. and for those playing at home, here's part two of the "war machine" article. . ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 May 2010 09:03:47 -0700 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: In Case You Were Wondering On May 5, 2010, at 8:44 AM, Nectar At Any Cost! wrote: > You may recall that my big three so far this year are black rebel > motorcycle club, archie bronson outfit, and ted leo. i think that leo is > gradually emerging as the leader of that pack.

Doesn't that make the Fun Boy Three's version a semi- cover at best? Just ordered remastered versions of Devo-Freedom of Choice, Ultravox-Vienna, and Thomas Dolby-Golden age of Wireless (with bonus DVD).

First, Mr. Waters and yr marketing dolts: had you searched for decades and years, for miles and leagues and, fuckall, rods, you could have not ever found a more cliched bit of antiwar phraseology. True though it may be, it's so worn out as to be eyerollingly ineffective, both as promotion and as antiwar blah-blah. Also: some research? should've known this wall was The Wall of Still-Bereaved Elliott Smith Fanatics and that the result would be a batch of whiny anti-major-label (what label was Smith signed to when he offed himself? Yep.) anti-rich-guy anti-PinkFloydAsSymbolOfBigBadDinoRock etc.... Second, The Late Mr. Smith's legion of wool-hat-wearing, non-hair-washing, self-dramatizing dweebs: get over it. No one wanted to tear down your wall as an expression of anti-Elliott whatever; it was just dumbassitude raised to an annoying power. Yeesh. (For the record: I like Elliott Smith's music a lot...but he's one of those folks whose fans get verrry annoying. Not so big on Roger Waters...but before he turned into a Sting-like target of ridicule, he did do some good stuff.) - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.wordpress.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 06 May 2010 00:14:20 -0400 From: FSThomas Subject: Rube Golberg Gone Awry Don't know if this has been posted before or not, but it's a fine study in timing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w Or even better study in editing and CGI. - -f. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 May 2010 07:41:11 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: Rube Golberg Gone Awry On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 11:14 PM, FSThomas wrote: > Don't know if this has been posted before or not, but it's a fine study in > timing: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w > > Or even better study in editing and CGI.

They say it was done in real time, however. This band only makes videos, huh? It has always sort of bugged me that their very existence pushes Oh-OK yet further into obscurity.
