I could make that album. But it's sort of fun. i've listened to it twice. never all the way through. i got a new copy of GORDON the same day and i can't seem to get it out of my cd player. "In Love" is funny to me cuz i have always thought Shatner is funny and i am sure my brothers will think it's funny so we will like it. now if i only get it out of my car and let them listen. and "rubber sled" is about Robert, duh, and woo hoo who cares? All right. I think on a scale of "hit or miss" this was a miss but i don't think anyone around here really thinks ben can do any wrong. I went to see American History X, by myself, because my friends SUCK, but i think it would be over their HEAD, and i LOVED it and we see so much of Ed that i cannot friggin' WAIT until it comes out on video so i don't have to keep going to the movies by myself like a creep. oh, and rock on Katie, wherever you are now.

Hey - I realise that this is majorly late in regards to the post from jaedonely re the sad state of her CD collection, but I haven't logged on for a while - mostly due to being in a car crash recently that totalled my car so I have mostly been at home feeling sorry for myself and the current lack of transportation that I am experiencing. ANYHOW... Some other CD's that you might like to try, if you haven't already Tim Buckley - Jeff's dad. Jeff's angelic voice was inherited from his father. Not too much difference in music styles, although Tim's leans towards the folk-ish Ben Harper - weird style of voice and some of his songs are a little stop-start, but very thought provoking Cordrazine - a band from Australia. Lead singers voice is a perfect mixture of Jeff Buckleys and Ben Harpers, and the songs are great. Finally - Powderfinger. The lead singer of this band, Bernard Fanning, has got *the* sexiest voice I have heard in a long time. Two CDs' to pick from with this band - Double Allergic ( a few years old but a truly excellent CD), and Internationalist ( recent release CD that has some mind blowing songs). Sorry to everyone else about the long post!! Jodie ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1998 22:31:19 +1000 From: Jodie Subject: Current Musical Faves Hello to all the rf-ers. I have been on the list for a couple of months now, but wanted to catch the vibe of the list b4 posting, so this is my first. Hello to all of the other Aussies on the list!! I've noticed a lot of stuff, particularly from Courtney & Stacey about music and great stuff to listen to. I have recently aquired two cd's from Aussie bands which have blown me away - Powderfinger's "Internationalist" & Cordrazine's "From Here to Wherever" TIP - if you see these cd's buy them!! The lead singer of Cordrazine - I think his name is Hamish, has a great voice which is reminscent of Jeff Buckley's - combined with Ben Harper. And watch out for Powderfinger as they will be spending all of next year in the states - Bernard Fanning has *the* sexiest voice. Anyway - I won't bore you any more with this, but for all you single lads and lasses ( me included ) good luck with the love hunt, and be courageous - nothing will happen if you don't take some steps towards it!

I like the cover art too. oh well. on another note, i saw "celebrity" on friday and it is very, very good...ok bye now. ari ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1998 19:34:57 -0500 From: Carrie Subject: In Town, In Love Just got back from Ye Olde Windy City. Had a very good time. :-) Returned to "Fear of Pop". Listening to it now. Have to say I really enjoy it. It's well put-together, good grooving stuff. But yeah, though I'm liking the music in "Root To This," this woman's voice is, um, irritating. (Frally? Is this name supposed to be familiar?) Must write big huge thing for film class. William Shatner makes me giggle. He's just as bad as he was on "The Transformed Man". Ahhh, camp! - -carrie "Do you have a gender bias?"

JOHN BOYER, i have a giant fat favour to ask you. you said you had every episode of the State on tape, yes? well i'm writing a paper on The State for my television class and the cinema library doesn't have any episodes of it (of course they have a plethora of 20/20 episdoes, go figure). would you be willing to let me borrow the tapes for the month of December if i promise to send them back to you FedEx as soon as i'm done? pretty please? everyone, go see A Bug's Life when it comes to your town, because it's fecking hilarious. i do believe this post is over and done with. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Are you fucking with me?
