Also while those hundreds of emails whizzed past I noticed some new names.... welcome, whoever you are. Ummm......... there was some talk about Josh Joplin. A friend of mine came over from the states last year and he was given a few CD's by his friend who works for Sony to bring over here to 'gauge reaction'. So, with me having the impeccable taste I have, he gave them all to me! (lucky me). Included in that lot was Useful Music. I loved it from the first listen, it's such a good album and not one that's hard to 'get into'. Naturally I have it the thumbs up. And he's fucken sexy too : - ) Not a lot else to report..... my company sacked a whole lotta workers today - thankfully none from my department - "out sourcing".

I think you'll find there are a few of us, hiding away lest we be faced with the wrath of the Kasey-lovers. My parents listen to her, which was my first clue that I'd probably not like her much. The fact that she's a country artist is indeed a big part of that. When I discovered oztorians had a habit of liking her, I did decide to give her a chance, and downloaded a few of her songs, read a bunch of lyrics and all about her history etc... but I just can't make the jump, myself. I'm no fan of country music as a general rule, but I'm sure I could bypass that if the lyrics spoke to me. They don't, that's all.

Melissa Etheridge is alright, but I'm past my k.d. lang-lovin' days.

I'm sure dykes just like k.d. cuz either a) they think she's cute, or b) they feel they have to cuz loving k.d. is such a dykey thing to do (a bit like being vegetarian or having a cat). ~Becc-I-am-a-lesbian-even-though-I-hate-cats :) PS: "spdfgh" is a real band name?!!

(well actually i increasingly rate venus quite highly...) but seriously, sometimes i kind of wish hardship on toz just so she will write great music. its awful i know and i feel really bad for it, but i'm sure i'm not the only one who secretly wants her to be miserable again... am i??

And I have short brown hair, and wear doc martens -- that's gotta count for something!! As for Indigo Girls, you reeeally should listen to their (early) self-titled album. Some very good stuff - excellent lyrics. Then again, as you say, it's very folky. If you don't like folk, you probably won't like it. 'Power of Two' is so purty though, you ratbag. Haven't listened to it for a while, but I used to love singing the harmonies in the chorus. ~Becc :) - -- witnessed: www.barbaric-yawp.com/journal ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2001 01:35:46 +1100 From: "riot poofter" Subject: Re: [oztori] wowee another email!
