(ns) [Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey Subject: [loud-fans] That Red Planet Don't know if this'll help Jer reclaim that last potential bit of shelf space, but the RED PLANET soundtrack is apparently quite top notch, according to Video Watchdog Magazine, who gave it their "Best Compilation Score" this year (last year's well-deserved nod went to "South Park, Bigger, Longer and Uncut"). Here's an excerpt: "RED PLANET, last year's second Martian movie mess, whose song tracks, sequenced with a series of compositions from Graeme Revell, offered a welcome variant of the typical compilation. New music from Peter Gabriel, and songs from Sting and Strange Cargo, were interspersed with Revell's ethereal electronica and sedate classicism, based thematically on Dante's Inferno, creating a disc that, intil it's final track (a truly awful Police remix), worked seamlessly as film music and song compilation".

I think it'd make a lovely theme song to a film version of THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE. Back to pondering this DMCA mess, Andy Where do you find the music for your animations? Last summer Jules, a friend of mine, used to bring over CDs he got from Japan featuring several Pokimon songs. I liked them so much they stuck with me. Finally, one day I cracked and had to find some MP3s to make music videos out of. What other kinds of music do you like? I have a wide spread of musical interest, including They Might Be Giants, Oingo Boingo/Danny Elfman, several MP3.com artists, etc. How did you learn to do this stuff? In Flash? Well, by the time I made the infamous Japanese Pokerap video I had owned Flash for about seven or eight months. I learned to use a lot of programs just by tinkering around with them. How long does it take do one of these movies -- like "Hyakugojyuuichi!" for instance? It varies. Hyakugojyuuichi only took me one day, but I had just finished the Japanese Pokerap and was on a roll. My two latest Animutations took longer, but they were spread out over a week or two each. Sometimes I just can't be insane enough; other times I can't do anything else. Is it true you're only 15 years old? I'm actually 14, but I'll be 15 in August. What are grade are you in? I'm home-schooled, which explains all this free time. I finish the school year after I do the California Achievement Test, which I just completed a week ago. So, I'm in ninth grade now, although I always have the choice to skip a grade if I think I can do it.

Alice Cooper has a song called "Killer" but, again, the web makes it looks like the words "i'm a killer" don't appear in it. all the covers i've heard Ad play, off the top of my head, were from the early 80s. except -- wait, the new album (expect raves from me soon about it) ends with a Paul K song, "Leave Me In Tears", from a 1992 album called Killer In The Rain. i wonder if that could be it. anyone? a ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2001 15:54:28 EDT From: MarkWStaples@aol.com Subject: [loud-fans] Cypress/Afoot Man, oh man, I was listening to this Let's Active CD while I was doing housework, and damn, these are fine records! I haven't listened to these in quite a while, and I never tire of them. "Flags for Everything" and "Waters Part"...well, if CYPRESS was a town (acutally, I believe it is lol) I would want to move there immediately, settle down, date a girl with Sarah Romwebber hair, spend my days walking through the fields (strangely hay bale free) with Mitch Easter's dog (R.I.P.) Buford, and drive to drive-ins (no pun intended) at night in that cool '50s car in the album's cover art and order onion rings and milkshakes for everyone cruising with me. Then off for a night of skinnydipping. I think I'll pull out BIG PLANS FOR EVERYBODY next. I just had to tell people that understood. Have a good weekend Loud-fans!

(ns) Have a cold today, which is making me somewhat delerious, so maybe this is the thera flu talking. Has anyone ever noticed that the lead guitar is almost always in the right speaker? I've been listening to a lot of stuff in headphones, and maybe it's just a coincidence, but it seems like every time there's a lead/rhythm guitar split, the lead is on the right. One possibility is that it's just what I've been listening to. I thought, though, that maybe people instinctively put the featured instrument on the right side. I don't think that there's any standard as to where the lead guitarist stands when bands play live, so it probably doesn't carry over from that. - --dana np: Safe Home/"Travel in Time" which has no lead guitar.

It's a vast right-wing conspiracy. See, "lead guitar" is clearly the musical voice of rampant individualism, entrepreneurial isolation from the collective, and a near-monarchical lording-over - as against the rooted, democratic practices of the rhythm section for the common good. So of course it's in the *right* channel. - --Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey, with hatchet, axe, and saw J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html ::flag on the moon...how'd it get there?:: ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V1 #55 ******************************
