[littlebreen@comcast.net] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 09 May 2005 01:27:46 +0000 From: littlebreen@comcast.net Subject: Virused, and the Airless Plains... Hi, gang-- Well, shortly after i last posted here -- nearly two weeks ago, my Mac got badly dosed with what I'm calling the Bolis, since I don't know what category it falls into -- it gummed up the works, and everytime I found it and threw it away, it got back in (which someone told me indicated the possible existence of a trojan horse). Anyway, hence my silence for the last two weeks. I don't know how much I would have been writing anyway, since both Robert and I got fairly seriously sick, he with pneumonia (non PCP, but still...) and me with a nasty kidney infection. We usually have better timing than this, one of us usually being reasonably well while the other is laid low, but not this time. Oh, well, we're both getting better finally, on powerful antibiotics. Returning to the Bolis -- Our neighbor was able to wipe our hard drive clean and (thank god for him!) since he weekly backs up our hard drive, he had a recent version of it for us. So for now all is well. I did get Prairie Girl from somebody as a b-day present, and I had a coupla questions: (a) In Paprika Plains -- I **love** the new remix, so clear, sounds to me almost as if they used an alternate vocal track -- but was anyone else surprised by the elision of the line "I've got to get some air"? It's seamless, the song just jumps from "It's stifling in here" to "I'm going outside to get some air" -- but I can't help but wonder why the line was edited out -- Did Joni not like her reading of the line, were there other problems? Curious... (b) In the short edit of "Cold", did I get a funky pressing (or is my aging cd player getting weird), or are there some odd jumps towards the end, at the fade-out? Anyone else get this? *All* of the tracks sound better to me, btw, and I think this is one of the better comps she's put out. All for now -- still hard to sit up for long, hope all is well with all of you, love, walt - -- Let the walls go tumbling down Falling on the ground And all the dogs go running free The wild and gentle dogs Kenneled in me ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2005 #135 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
