I think Marshall Crenshaw's LIFE'S TOO SHORT is an underrated album... "Fantastic Planet Of Love" is a great song! And should I mention that Scott Miller was influenced by Murray Head? Scott has Murray's SAY IT AIN'T SO on his top ten for whatever year it came out, and played a solo medley of Murray's songs during a KALX radio interview many years ago. - -Steve ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 14:09:31 -0500 (EST) From: Bill Silvers Subject: Re: [loud-fans] life's too short Steve Holtebeck wrote: >I think Marshall Crenshaw's LIFE'S TOO SHORT is an underrated album... >"Fantastic Planet Of Love" is a great song! Solid thinking as usual, Steve. I wonder how come LTS didn't get reissued along with his formerly OOP 80's stuff? Maybe for the same reason I can find it for $2 on half.com? Hmm. People don't know what's good for 'em. >And should I mention that Scott Miller was influenced by Murray Head? >Scott has Murray's SAY IT AIN'T SO on his top ten for whatever year it >came out, and played a solo medley of Murray's songs during a KALX >radio interview many years ago.

There's also the irony that Scott Miller's gone on record several times as being a huge Murray Head fan.

I've decided to keep AOL because I get Charter for $26 a month and AOL is free with high speed. Now I can keep up with Bat Boy's doings dozens of times faster!! I was going to go the DSL way, but my mom has decided she doesn't need a land line after all. The moon hasn't turned to blood. Strange days have found me. On a funny note, I got mom Lana Cantrell's only CD offering (to be so popular in the '60s there isn't anything out there), a compilation, for a Christmas gift--the other day she asked me if I knew where the vinyl to her empty cover of ANOTHER SHADE OF LANA was (like I took off with it). I suppose back in '84, "Give Murray Head this Christmas!" was out of the question for a record company promotional idea? - --Mark, whose car feels strange--like something from a Steven Wright routine--it looks exactly the same, but everything's been replaced np Sarah Silverman JESUS IS MAGIC dvd ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V6 #248 *******************************
