This seems to be making the rounds... http://www.mp3.com/dokaka One guy, meticulously multitracking a capella versions of (mostly) prog and metal songs. According to the person I got the link from (though I can't find any information about this on the actual site) he listens to the source songs over and over again in headphones, doing one instrument along with the music each time. All I know is, I'm mostly not familiar with the originals and the only a capella cover I've voluntarily listened to in years is Nomeansno doing the Dead Kennedys, but I'm really enjoying the intricacy of the sound this guy creates. Try "21st Century Schizoid Man" first.

When I was in high school, a couple of friends and I (code name: The Electric Wombat Dilemma) recorded an a capella version of TUBULAR BELLS. I was somewhat surprised to find that Dokaka's pitch isn't much better than ours was, but unlike us he has the all-important ability to make it through the tune without cracking up. - -- SLAW * SNAKES & LADDERS Experimental popular children's music for adults http://www.doubtfulpalace.com/artists/Slaw ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 13:53:32 -0500 From: Miles Goosens Subject: Re: [loud-fans] OK, since we promised to share At 05:16 PM 5/12/2003 -0500, Bill Silvers wrote: >NBC Fall schedule update: >http://tv.zap2it.com/shows/features/features.html?31547 > >So what?

So these same comedies followed by looking at Rena Sofer sounds like the best NBC Thursday in years. I'm wondering if the U.S. COUPLING is still going to start with, of all things, "Inferno," the fourth episode of the U.K. show, where a lot of the laughs already depend on knowing the characters? Some of the wire service stuff I've seen this week indicates that the reshot pilot may well have taken the more sensible route of at least incorporating elements of the first U.K. episode -- a NY Daily News article says the new pilot features a couple having sex in a bathroom stall, and the "porn buddy" concept, i.e., items direct from the first U.K. episode. And not to disparage Ms. Price and Ms. Walger at all, but why couldn't we have had Rena Sofer *and* Melissa George? And of course I'm jazzed about ANGEL getting a reprieve, saving us from a Joss-less TV season, but I'm thinking NBC should have gone ahead and killed ED. Boo to reviving Carol'n'Ed after almost boldy breaking free from it, boo boo boo! later, Miles *2002-2003 layer o' crap: GOOD MORNING, MIAMI, the spiritual and circumstantial successor to LOVE AND WAR, which narrowly escaped its deserved cancellation but is also getting kicked to Tuesdays, where I'm hoping it will generate some sort of record low numbers and be replaced by a marmoset dating show. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 15:13:44 -0400 From: Stewart Mason Subject: Re: [loud-fans] OK, since we promised to share At 01:53 PM 5/13/2003 -0500, Miles Goosens wrote: >I'm wondering if the U.S. COUPLING is still going to start with, of all things, "Inferno," the fourth episode of the U.K. show, where a lot of the laughs already depend on knowing the characters?

Bizarrely, looking at an NBC show profile yesterday, it seems that they're going to start BEFORE the first series: apparently, Susan and Patrick and Steve and Jane are still couples in the pilot. It kind of makes sense (there are something like 21 episodes of the original UK series so far, which isn't even a full season in US terms, so they're going to have to write a lot of new material), but from everything I've heard about the on-set turmoil surrounding this show -- apparently the pilot's been recast and reshot three times so far and they're on their second or third executive producer -- I have my doubts it'll make it to midseason. Which is fine by me: they simply couldn't make a series like Coupling in the United States without taking out three-quarters of the sex (seriously, where's the American TV show where we learn 10 minutes into the pilot that the second female lead, to quote Missy Elliott, shaves her cho-cha?) and even more of the deliberate futzing with traditional three-act structure. And how could they possibly have a different actor playing my beloved Jeff? What I found interesting was that the heavily-hyped Gilmore Girls spinoff (which tonight's episode is a de facto pilot for) is nowhere to be found on the WB's new schedule, apparently at least in part because the producers can't find anyone to run the show. Fine with me, since the idea of a spinoff featuring the show's most irritating character never sounded like a good idea to me.

One of the funniest lines I've heard all year. "And you are completely (Jane lowers her trousers)...shaved!" Plus they'll all have to be "lovable" (see previously cited interview w/ Paul Simms), which deflates the joy of characters like Sally. And re: Jane's bi-ness - time for a Madonna stunt cast again? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 12:40:28 -0700 (PDT) From: "Joseph M. Mallon" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] dokaka!

The complete list of $1 CD's follows my name. I know that Seefeel are pretty good, so maybe there's some other deals on here. Also, fans of the Brian Jonestown Massacre might want to know that their once vinyl only "Spacegirl and Other Favorites" is out on CD now on Bomp with bonus tracks. I have the vinyl, and it's neither better nor worse than a lot of other things in the BJM catalog. By any chance, did anyone get the CD of remixes of Ultramarines "Every Man and Woman is a Star"? I really love the original album, and really don't love anything else by Ultramarine, so another CD to love would be nice.
