Wondering if Daniel ever met Roky Erickson, Andy Hi Are you sitting down? I hope so. Because to stand up and read your email you'd have to be lifting and holding your computer while standing and I can't imagine that can be very good for your back... HA! Sorry, bad joke... Anyway, seriously, you realy should sit down for this because I'm not sure if you realize it, but right now tens of thousands of people are making a great income performing one of the simplest tasks you can imagine.

Well, it's a movie, so they have to have an angle. If he came across as just a guy who writes okay songs sometimes and needs to be on his meds, it would be pretty boring, and nobody would be interested. My best friend Thom was called by NPR the other week when they interviewed him (listener interviews) about Vince Guaraldi's CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS album and why he liked it so much, and his answer about "Linus and Lucy" wasn't what they wanted, so they didn't include him in the segment--it's all about what you want to portray--they wanted to hear something about "Christmas Time Is Here" or something else. - --Mark ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2006 14:33:20 -0500 (EST) From: Aaron Mandel Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Time Magazine explains it all for you On Tue, 26 Dec 2006, zoom@muppetlabs.com wrote: > http://www.time.com/time/2006/100albums/ > > ...and where's Aaron Mandel with our poll?

One more thing Andy before I head out to elevate the triglyceride levels of the fine people of Mauldin/Simpsonville, South Carolina--George W. has been thinking he's Captain America for the past six years and lots of people have died and almost nobody thinks he's crazy! The ones that do are labeled as radicals and liberals, maybe one notch on the sanity meter above Daniel. - --Mark ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2006 14:08:57 -0800 From: "Steve Holtebeck" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Time Magazine explains it all for you On 12/26/06, zoom@muppetlabs.com wrote: > http://www.time.com/time/2006/100albums/ The greatest albums of the 2000s were compilations by dead people.

Frankly, I think it's critical laziness to (a) include best-of issues instead of figuring out which *album* is an artist's best, and (b) to even talk about "albums" before (roughly) the mid-sixties. While there are some exceptions, most music was not conceived of or released primarily as "albums" until that time - albums were (as the name might suggest) themselves compilations - of singles or the equivalent, filler tracks, etc. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V6 #266 *******************************
