We lost New Orleans icon Ernie Kado (Mother-in-Law) today. What a tragedy! He was an unbelievable spirit and will be missed badly. They will have a jazz funeral like NO other that should NOT be missed if you are in town. I will try to post any details if they come up in the next few days. I am DEEP in BET hell right now and even tho I am a pro I am severly challanged and hope I survive this whole debacle. Comic View is shooting here for the next month and we are doing 76 shows in 20 days. AGGGGGGGH!

The popint I was trying to get across was the issue of voting. I feel that despite all the talk, when it comes to voting, our firends either don't vote in support or vot for soemthing they see as more important(tax cuts etc) or they don't vote at all. You are quite right about other issues too(women. race etc). It is about human rights. Until i have equal rights under law as you do, then we all suffer. people don't undertsand that. treat one set of people as inferior and it brings us all down. I still hold that if people truly wanted us to hold equal rights with them we would have them. it doesn't, as far as I can see, mean that they should all be marching in a Gay Pride march! bw colin ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2001 10:11:24 +0100 From: "Bill Pearson" Subject: Re: MSN question (NJC) > my MSN instant messenger has been off for the last 24 hours. do you have the > same problem? i can't get access to my hotmail account either. what's going > on? armageddon? > wallyK Same for me wallyK.

They were late in starting because somebody ripped off their ENTIRE trailer with all their equipment! The Greenville Symphony came to their aid and donated instruments for them to use, and they sounded great! They definitely rocked the house, but actually the reason I went to see them was to catch the opening act, a young band from NY called Cecilia. They have an Ani DiFranco meets Eddie From Ohio sound and they played a great set. They also just signed with Atlantic and will have their debut CD out next year. I'm anxious to see what will happen with them!

Curve balls in the deep end? That is confusing, since a reference to "deep end" was in the previous paragraph. Makes sense only if you read more of the review, which I've copied below. Sounds like the only song the reviewer was moved by was Diana's version of ACOY. No wonder. It's a great song, no matter who does it. And to Bob, new FBI head: > Congrats on the new fed job, too. :) I second that. Anything you want to tell us about now? Any J. Edgar Hoover-ish pink feather boas in your closet maybe? We won't tell anyone... not even the Enquirer reporter with LOTS of cash... Debra Shea NP: Carly Simon's "Like a River" from Letters Never Sent. Whoa, it suddenly has me in tears. Didn't expect that. From Neil Strauss's review in NYTimes: Her stage presence  undramatic, understated, almost cautious  was not unlike her technique. Her attitude recalled tales of a young Mabel Mercer, whose stiff shyness contributed to rather than detracted from her empathy for and understanding of the material. She sang with grace, poise and respect  clearly punctuating each word and note  rather than singing with rabidity, showiness and competition. More confident as a precise, preternatural pianist, Ms. Krall always erred on the side of caution as she sang, tending to interpret in a breathy whisper and occasionally a more dramatic rasp. Sometimes the effect was something like that of stepping into a wading pool warmed by the sun: it's a safe, comfortable body of water, an easy place to relax and drift off without worrying about drowning, but it lacks a deep end. In a step away from the intimacy and subtlety of past jazz festival performances, Ms. Krall was backed by an orchestra (in addition to her quartet). Though this enabled her to conjure up some of the studio perfection of her Grammy-winning album "When I Look in Your Eyes," the chemistry between her and the orchestra was often lacking. Her 16-song set included tunes made famous by Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee and Julie London, though she also threw in some of her favorite curve balls, most impressively a moving version of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" that did find a deep end. She also offered a sneak preview of her long-awaited next record, "The Look of Love," singing a purposefully unseductive version of the title song and a stirring "Love Letters." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Jul 2001 14:07:33 -0400 From: dsk Subject: Anniversary on July 7 NJC Dear Colin, Happy 20th Anniversary to you and John!!!

I found this piece recently and I thought I would post it. Some might consider some of the authors opinions wrong or whatever but I thought she did a pretty fair assessment and theres some historical factual stuff thats the first I ever heard of it. Enjoy. Music Genres Rhonda Rohrabacher January 31, 2001 WASHINGTON -- As international DJ’s take the center stage, varying degrees of rock ‘n roll music no longer hold hegemony over hip among global youth; the scales have been raised and broadened. As the transcontinental underground music scene goes mainstream, spinning with it a more diversified mix, time zones, eras, and styles are transcended, spawning new genres along the way. People who pride themselves on knowing about music are clueless to some of the newer schools of sound that are now making electronica music immensely popular among worldwide hipsters. Here is a rough charter to the various sonic ports of call as we sail into the topsy-turvy digital oceans of the 21st Century. HOUSE Generated out of disco music in New York and Chicago in the mid-1980's, by 1990, house had blitzkrieged Europe, revolutionizing and spawning modern-era club culture in the process. House epitomizes electronic dance grooves, and is probably more mainstream and widely accepted than any other of type of DJ music today. Characterized by groovy 4/4 beat tempos, and swinging upbeat harmonies, house can cover a lot of territory, from disco house, to acid house to Latin and French house, it is perhaps the most versatile of all electronic music genres, ranging in style from deep, to hardcore to progressive. Old School Pioneer: Frankie Knuckles Superstar House DJ’s: John Digweed, Sasha, Deep Dish, Derrick Carter, Armand Van Helden, Basement Jaxx, Masters at Work. Hot House Tunes: Groovejet, by Spiller; Brazil Over Zurich, by Tanga Chicks; Pasilda, by Afro Medusa. GARAGE As an offshoot of house music during the Paradise Garage days of New York in the early 1980's, garage has resurfaced in a huge way; what is leading this renewal is British garage, commonly known as "Two-Step.” Characterized by smooth velvety vocals and deep breaking bass lines, UK Garage borrows heavily from R n’ B (rhythm and blues), reggae (and dancehall jazz), and drum n’ bass. This synthesis of smooth and rough made a huge splash out of the underground and into the mainstream London and Paris groove scenes last year and is now making its way around the globe. Old School Pioneer: Larry Levan. Subgenres: SPEED GARAGE. TWO-STEP Two-Step Pioneers: The Dreem Team. Top Two-Step Artists: Suburban Lick, MJ Cole, Zed Bias, Artful Dodger, Oxide &Neutrino, Architects, Wookie. Tight Two-Step Tunes: Sincere, by MJ Cole, Sound of the Pirates mixed by Zed Bias (compilation) The Battle, by Wookie. HIP HOP Most commonly known as "rap,” hip hop has revolutionized the turntable into a modern instrument. More than any other type of DJ music, hip hop engenders creativity and pushes the limits of DJ performances. Spawned by Bronx teenagers back in the 1970's, hip hop is characterized by two turntables and a microphone. One turntable is churning out fat beats, while the other turntable is usually spinning some scratchable vocal samples that are ripe to be scratched, twisted and transformed by the DJ. An added bonus is a live MC, adding vocal poetic dialogue in sync with the breaking bass lines. The effects on the dance floor often result in break dancing, an acrobatic type of dancing inspired by hip hop sounds and culture. Surely, the controversy flowing from some types of hip hop is louder, but less exciting than the poetic potential of the art form. It is, undeniably, a rapidly expanding global phenomenon, with a seemingly boundless future ahead. Old School Pioneer: Kool Herc. Old School Cool: Cypress Hill, Tribe Called Quest. Hot Hip Hop Artists: Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, Jurassic Five, Dr. Dre, Eminem, De La Soul, Black Eyed Peas. BREAKBEAT Evolving out of Great Britain in the mid 1990's, breakbeat is influenced by hip hop, jazz, rare grooves and funk. The Bristol, England, version of breakbeat is known as trip-hop, incorporating slower, sensual beats, and a reggae sound. Down tempo, characterized by mellow background sounds, with relaxed atmospheric beats, is an offshoot of breakbeat. Old School Influence: James Brown. Subgenres: TRIP HOP, BIG BEATS, DOWN TEMPO. Trip-Hop Masters: Massive Attack, Portishead. Classic Big Beat Breaks: Dig Your Own Hole, by Chemical Brothers, You’ve Come a Long Way Baby, by Fatboy Slim. TECHNO Many people generalize and label all electronic music as "techno.” In reality, techno is a separate genre within the electronica panoply. Techno started in Detroit in the 1980's as an extension of (or alternative to, depending on who you’re talking to) house. However, unlike house, techno is abstract with a harder edge, and more frenetic style. Techno found its enduring mainstream success in Europe, and was not even used as a label to describe a particular style of music until it reached corporate Great Britain in 1988; the British press coined a new genre, Techno, so as not to confuse it with house or hip hop. Whereas the original Detroit techno was influenced by funk and synthetic pop, the version found in Europe today is best characterized by the mindless throbbing techno pulsating within dark underworld clubs. Hardcore techno is more aggressive and turbulent, with BPM’s reaching 190. Dutch techno, called gabber (or happy hardcore), has even faster BPM’s. Subgenre: AMBIENT. Old School Pioneers: Derrick May, Kraftwerk. Techno Masters: Moby, Orbital. Classic Techno Tunes: Homework, by Daft Punk, Vegas, by Crystal Method. TRANCE A European extrusion of techno, trance originated in early 1990's Germany, accompanying the infamous Berlin Love Parades, creating a type of music conducive to drug-imposed euphoria and the accompanying rave culture. More upbeat than techno, the melodic dreamy anthems and spaced-out sonic sounds characterized by trance, sparked a widespread following among the growing rave-culture youth of early-mid 1990's Europe. Subgenre: GOA TRANCE. Trance DJ Superstars: Judge Jules, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyke , Seb Fontaine. Top Trance Tune: Fusion, by Sven Vath. JUNGLE Evolving from hardcore techno in London in the early 1990's, jungle utilized techno’s breakier beats, culminating in electronica superstardom in the mid 1990's. The music itself is an amalgamation of many different genres, and characterized by faster BPM’s (up to 170 beats per minute), contrasted with a smoother, slower bass line. Old School Pioneers: A Guy Called Gerald, Goldie. Subgenre: DRUM N’ BASS. Drum n’ Bass Sounds: Reprazent, by Roni Size, Logical Progression, by LTJ Bukem.

I just bought mona bone jakon, btw, so now i can listen to "I think I see the light" - yay! bud cort was recently in "But I'm a Cheerleader" with natasha lyon (sp?). It was a pretty cute, campy movie. he also was interviewed by the New York Times sunday magazine a few months ago - one of those short one-pagers near the front of the mag. It was weird - - he seemed pretty grouchy. He was asked about Harld and Maude and he was all touchy about it - said something about how it was edited in such a way that it sucked the life out of it, made some parts hard to understand, or something. I particularly remember him saying that they cut a seminal part that explained why Harold decided to go to bed with Maude. Of course, he *said* that but then didn't tell us *why*. So I wonder what it was. did the musical use the cat stevens songs? or other songs? - -Yael ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Jul 2001 16:57:53 -0500 From: "Sybil Skelton" Subject: Re: Harold & Maude (NJC) Seeing all this discussion brought back memories for me - I love that movie, and I haven't seen it in years. (But I have ALL the Cat Stevens albums - the songs in H&M are actually contained on 3 different albums). Many years ago there was a "repertory" cinema in my neighborhood - they showed lots of "art" films, older films, campy cult films, etc, and the program changed every 2 days. It was usually a double feature, 2 Bergman films or 2 Fellini films or even 2 Errol Flynn movies - a popular double bill there was "Captain Blood" and "Adventures of Robin Hood". The audience was usually full of film freaks, the admission was cheap, and the concessions were reasonable, so I was usually there 2 or 3 times a week. One of the double features they showed on a regular basis - every other month or so - was "Harold and Maude" and "King of Hearts". I tried to be there every time they showed these films. If you aren't familiar with "King of Hearts", check it out without further delay. It's a charming French film starring Genevieve Bujold and Alan Bates(I didn't know Bates spoke French). I'm not sure when it was made, probably 1970ish, like H&M. It's a sweet and gentle comedy about the inmates taking over the asylum, and like H&M, it has a very life affirming message. Two very different movies, but they were a perfect complement. Sorry to ramble, but ahhh, the memories.

If it has been put on DVD don't tell me for a few more months. I did look up everything available from Robert Altman a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised at how much was there but I purposefully forgot details as I have to get the credit cards paid down some.

I caught on to this reviewer's meaning right away. Diana Krall has a very soothing, sexy voice. I like 'When I Look Into Your Eyes' but find it kind of lightweight, mostly in her choice of material. Nothing really wrong with that, but when I watched her do ACOY at the TNT tribute, I thought 'Ah, she *is* capable of doing justice to deeper material.' She also offered a sneak preview of her long-awaited next > record, "The Look of Love," singing a purposefully unseductive version of the > title song and a stirring "Love Letters." I'm a fairly recent convert to the soulful voice of Dusty Springfield. Nobody sings 'The Look of Love' quite like Dusty did. She made that song so intimate and seductive that you'd have to be made of stone not to get a little tingle in your spine from hearing her sing it. I think Diana could do a great job with it but I'm a bit puzzled by the 'purposefully unseductive' reference. Seems to me that kind of treatment would kill this song which I consider to be one of Bacharach/David's best.

I am a 17 years old boy from Argentina who just bought hejira last week.The email adress is of my mother. My name is Walter Hilgemberg. I've been for three years a hardcore fan of the smashing pumpkins. After the split up of the smashing pumpkins i tryed to listen new music (for me). Last week i was in my sister's house becouse she has a copy of atchung baby, that i had for three years and i wanted to listen it, but the copy was on his boyfriend house. So , i didn't want to leave with my hand empty, so i took hejira and i ve been listening to it for a week constantly. I love the album and i am going to buy blue and court and spark in the next weeks. Olthought money is not easy to get in this part of the world i will make an effort. I know that those three albums are classics becouse of a reserach that i made in the rollingston.com page. But it seems that she has lots of great albums. That's why i am here. And i want to ask wich of her albums are pop/rock albums, becouse hejira is like a mix between rock and jaz, and also i want to listen to her pop stuff. well that is all bye and looking forward to your answer ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2001 22:29:17 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: I am new - --- Ana Trabadelo wrote: > Hi, > Fist, i want all of you to excuse cuz my english > isn't very good. > I am a 17 years old boy from Argentina who just > bought hejira last week.The > email adress is of my mother.

It's nice to see young people with good taste joining the list. If you like the more "pop" sound, I would recommend either "Court and spark" or "Miles of Aisles". Then again, if you like 80s-style rock, synth-music and so on, you may want to try "Dog Eat Dog" - it depends on your taste. A lot of people hate "Dog eat Dog", but I quite like it.

My recommendation would be For the Roses. I'm glad you like Hejira. Another of my favorites. Happy you could join us.

JC Gang, Long time no post. Hope you're all well. At Amoeba Records on Haight St. in SF, there is a CD called "Tribute to Joni Mitchell: I came upon a child of God" There's a naked dude (oh, yeah!) on the cover sitting in some Parrish type foliage. There are 10 songs (the usual suspects). However, there is NO info on the cover and it was sealed so I couldn't get into it. ....it's $7.95. I just couldn't buy it without knowing! I realize this has probably been digested by yawl last year. The copyright is 2000. Please advise. Current Joni listening trend. DJRD (as always) FTR (it is wonderful after so many years to REALLY get into to it and HEAR it. Like a new release) Mingus (go figure) NRH (need I say anything) and TI (I am genuflecting..I hope you are, too.) TTFN, Russ Way looking forward to Topsfield....Hey Wally! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2001 03:17:10 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: July 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NJC as there isn't an anniversary fairy on the list, i would like to do this myself. colin: i am not so presumptuous as to think that we are friends. we hardly know each other. however, in these years that i have spent on the jmdl, i have come to love you very dearly. we seem to have had very similar lives and we even look alike a little bit! sometimes you are soooooo wrong and sometimes you are sooooo right. it doesn't matter. you never fail to move me with your honesty and your courage. you found love and you found the chance to give your love to someone that has been by your side for twenty years. john must be so special. i can't help but love him too because he treats you so well. how generous you have been to each other. how encouraging it is to see that true love exists for all those that work hard and believe. i am sending you all my affection. you were there for me on two very difficult times in my life. you may not remember but i haven't forgotten. god bless you and john, colin dearest.
