Here is the intro: The idea behind this is to re-introduce ourselves (and others) to albums that we have not listened to in a long time. Give the album a solid listen, maybe on your commute or while doing the dishes. Just listen and write down some notes, or random thoughts or whatever. Just be fair and give it a listen. Even if you heard it a million and one times before. You may have missed something (doubtful with our musical depths here). I apologize in advance that this is NOT a Rush album. If you want to join in, welcome. If not.... then don't. No pressure. Join when you want, leave when you want. This is a very loose group and all feedback is welcome. Please be respectful of others and try to be nice. We are closer than most families are. The first album I have chosen for us is the debut from the Smiths. It was released in 1984. I think the last time I heard it was (maybe )2003.

I liked "Reel Around the Fountain" a whole lot. Some of the lyrics were really arresting, though I could not get inside the music enough to make a lot of them out. It surprises me to realize I was only in 9th or 10th grade when this record came out. Seems like I was probably listening mostly to the Dead Kennedies and Bauhaus around then, and Joe Pop-o-Pie. I don't think I really had much sense of the Smiths at all until I was in college, and then it was a sense of them as a band I didn't need to listen to because all their songs sounded the same.

Incidentally, I watched parts of a couple of the linked videos with the sound off, so I'm reacting entirely to the body language - but in those terms she comes across very natural and approachable, *human* in a way that some stars, so very poised and charismatic, sometimes outstrip. Charisma is compelling...but also offputting, in the sense that some folks have such a glowing and powerful presence that one can't imagine simply speaking to them. (Following up on an offlist e-mail w/Miles: yes, I'm so out of touch, I really hadn't been aware who Mary-Louise Parker was...and the "MLP" refs earlier were rather puzzling. Then, I've heard good things re "Weeds" so it'll end up in my NFXQ*. * It takes too damned long to type "Netflix queue," and many of those letters are superfluous - thus "NFXQ." - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.wordpress.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2010 21:22:27 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: Michael Sweeney's radio show...

Both are really great in Cyrus. It's still very much a mumblecore film. I expected the Duplass brothers to compromise their style more but they didn't let up at all. I also highly recommend Winter's Bone and Solitary Man very different drams with great lead performances (Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Douglas respectively) that people will be raving about come award season. I saw Solitary Man & Toy Story 3 back-to-back last weekend and they made for a interesting aging and death double feature. >> I'll also check out Last Airbender even though it could >> be awful, the cartoon its based on is fun though. > > i just became aware of this to-day. the last m. night shyamalan movie > i saw "lady in the water" (i think it was called) and it stuck me he > was heading in to rubber-necking territory. Shyamalan finally crash landed with The Happening which was truly awful.

To a degree they do if for no other reason, because of Morrissey's voice... but by the time you hit album #3, the superb THE QUEEN IS DEAD, Marr ups the musical ante and there's a winning variety of approaches that carries through to the end of the Smiths... heck, even beyond, since Morrissey's initial collaborator on his solo songs, producer Stephen Street, also realized that the secret of keeping Morrissey interesting was to switch up the non-Morrissey elements (and to write really, really good songs).

I recently watched season 1 of Weeds and had trouble with it too. The pilot turned me off completely, but I persevered and didn't regret it. Still it's not a favorite of mine. There were *really* funny bits, but there's a lot there that I just cannot relate to. And it's similar with MLP: I like her fine, but she's certainly not an obsession for me. > thanks for the reminder on that one. i love john c. reilly, and > marisa tomei has been crazy good the last few years (to be honest, i > didn't see her in much before "in the bedroom"). I agree on Marisa Tomei and, FWIW, would pick her over MLP every time ... that's based on "The Wrestler" and "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" b I haven't seen "In The Bedroom" yet. John C. Reilly is not as present for me as he used to be, i.e. I don't I have seen any of his work past 2002 ... - -- Sebastian Hagedorn Am alten Stellwerk 22, 50733 KC6ln, Germany http://www.uni-koeln.de/~a0620/ "Being just contaminates the void" - Robyn Hitchcock ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2010 23:13:51 -0700 From: kevin studyvin Subject: Re: movie talk - summer 2010 > John C.

Almost all the tracks that are on "The Smiths" as well as on "Hatful" I like better in their BBC versions, perhaps because they're the ones I grew up with. I also don't like the production of "The Smiths" very much. "This Charming Man" is one of my favorites of "Hatful" and I almost dislike the regular version. "Hand In Glove" and "What Difference Does It Make?" may be the only songs that profit from the additional overdubs. Having said that, there are still great moments on "The Smiths", my favorite being the sequence from the end of "Pretty Girls Make Graves" to the beginning of "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle". Johnny Marr's playing there is pure genius. I could listen to that intro for hours. "Suffer Little Children" is another highlight. I never cared much for Morrissey, and I hate his solo output. Johnny Marr is what it's mainly about for me, although it has to be said that he also didn't do much after the Smiths that I enjoyed. So somehow the collaboration with Morrissey must've worked on some level ... still I'd be interested in karaoke versions of the records. I could imagine that I'd like them even better without Morrissey's vocals ;) - -- b.
