Always a Gina Schock man, myself, Andy "The day I heard the news of my father's death -- he was hit by a drunk, killed on a lonely stretch of road in Washington state -- was the same day I received a call informing me I was a finalist in the Ozzy Osbourne Look-Alike contest. I was to show up at the studios of KGON, the local rock station that sponsored the contest, on Thursday the 17th at 2:45 p.m. I still have the piece of paper with the neatly printed contest details pasted in my Ozzy Osbourne scrapbook, the one I've saved from my mullet-wearing days. Word from the station was that Ozzy himself would interview the four finalists and pick the winner. The day started out as one of the happiest of my life and ended as the worst." - --Erich Pfeifer, from http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2002/07/16/ozzy_contest/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2002 12:46:33 -0400 (EDT) From: dmw Subject: [loud-fans] half-year i think that i mentioned this before, but: there are some of you who i think would have deathray davies _day of the ray_ on yer half-year lists, if you'd only heard it. good solid pop tunes with kinda purposely slapdash production -- if neko case's voice on the new pornos record was gravy on the cake (rather than the raisin of its being) for ya, i'd check this one out. & the words are better too, in a let'splaywithwords kinda way that i feel safe to commending to those standing here in the large foyer of admiring scott miller. - -- d. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2002 09:55:02 -0700 (PDT) From: "Joseph M.

I just rented it on DVD (which comes with both the Restricted and "Unrated" cuts of the film, which apparently only applies to one scene that was censored in theaters) and thought it was brilliant. People who have found him offensive and/or self-indulgent in the past certainly won't have their minds changed by this one but for me it's the film that solidifies my opinion that he is one of the most intriguing and original American filmmakers currently making movies.

People who have I'm with you on this one. I imagine it will end up in the upper range of my top ten for the year. I thought this was a big step forward for Solodnz. While I liked "Dollhouse" and "Happiness" I thought both films had an immature earnestness. But "Storytelling" left that behind, and was wonderfully convoluted in a way that would have made Nabokov proud. I've just spent a couple of evenings with the "Gosford Park" DVD, and I'm amazed at what a fantastic script it was. There are 20 different plots, and they all really are there, even if it takes several viewings before you catch everything. Both "Gosford Park" and "Storytelling" are movies that have to be watched more than once, and to me there's just something exciting about movies like this--that is, movies that place very high demands on the audience and then reward them for their effort. Most people I know refuse to watch a movie more than once, but then most people I know only watch movies for light entertainment. - --Michael np Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers at RKO (Disc 1) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2002 21:02:48 -0400 From: "amy b. p. lewis" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Crazy Christian record album covers (NS) At 03:02 PM 7/17/02, Robert Toren wrote: > How many of these do you own? > Robert > > http://www.retrocrush.com/archive/crazyrecors/ sadly, none, but _satan is real_ by the louvin brothers makes a significant appearance in alan zweig's funny and unsettling and really great documentary _vinyl_ (http://vinylconfessions.com/), which every record collector should see at least once. exit and die, super-happy amy ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V2 #247 *******************************
