[Jenny Grover Subject: [loud-fans] ...and that's the horn for the end of the first quarter! So, what's sounding like Top Ten 2008 material over the last three months? The Cat Power's still the only-must hear I've pulled down so far. Kate Rusby's AWKWARD ANNIE got shifted to a 2008 release, according to Amazon anyway, and I'll grab any excuse to count it for this year. Of course, I have to get ahold of and then listen to the thing. I'm thinking about picking up Nada Surf's LUCKY. Mike Doughty from Soul Coughing has a new solo album. And I haven't completely given up on the Human Skab reissue (though I may be the only one), Andy "Sonnet on the Sonnet" To see the moment holds a madrigal, To find some cloistered place, some hermitage For free devices, some deliberate cage Wherein to keep wild thoughts like birds in thrall; To eat sweet honey and to taste black gall, To fight with form, to wrestle and to rage, Till at the last upon the conquered page The shadows of created Beauty fall. This is the sonnet, this is all delight Of every flower that blows in every Spring, And all desire of every desert place; This is the joy that fills a cloudy night When bursting from her misty following, A perfect moon wins to an empty space. - --Lord Alfred Douglas ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2008 15:24:03 -0700 (PDT) From: zoom@muppetlabs.com Subject: [loud-fans] ...and that's the horn for the end of the first quarter!

Joe Jackson, Bill Callahan, and Nada Surf are all impressive. The B-52s' new songs sounded better in concert, but give it a chance. In non-oldies acts, there's Black Mountain and Donna Jean & The Tricksters...although Donna Jean's even older than Fred Schneider. ************** Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.

I think Kate Pierson is older still--around 60 I think now. I remember when I joked some years back that Fred had been replaced by an animatron at live shows, and nobody seemed to mind.
