Enjoy! > >- -Ken >http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/2471/ ken, you deserve a LOT of credit for hanging in there with your site -- and congratulations for hitting the >500,000-hit threshhold. there must be days when you see some of the recent photos or interviews and think, 'i'm spending ANY of my time trying to document this person's career? what am i thinking?' but your site remains totally neutral and thorough, and does a way better job than the 'official' site, of keeping things complete and up-to-date. so, props to you. it's pretty much impossible to work up the energy to write or post anything about liz these past few months. but your site continues to be a model of how to do a site like this. not to leave out supernova, which is something different, and a dazzling site to visit. someone a few weeks back posted about how good juliana hatfield's new cd is, and i agree. i think she gained a lot of confidence, and a lot of inspiration from her work on the some girls 'feel it' record, which contains, to me, her best vocal ever, on robert johnson's 'malted milk'. but the new cd, 'in exile deo', is somehow very new, especially when i was concerned it would simply sound like another juliana album. also really like the new allison moorer cd, 'the duel', which is loud and pissed-off, but has a great, first-take feel to it, and the loud rock guitars over her country songs are perfect. i'm a bit pissed-off, in fact, that neither this nor her live cd/dvd 'Show' are on itunes. but they're both worth seeking out and getting on cd. in that SPIN article on ken's site, liz lists 'court and spark' as a record that changed her life. i can't say for sure, but i would think joni mitchell would find that insulting, given how liz has managed her career in the period since she discovered that record. allison moorer's music is in some ways antithetical to joni mitchell's. but in terms of attitude and character, she carries on joni's good fight, to make personal and intelligent music, and she really deserves to have a much wider audience than she has. as for liz, i'm very happy they are releasing 'rock me' as the next single. it is the best song of 2001, and i think it will really kick sales of "Let Go" into the stratosphere. i'm hoping to hear it as the theme song in the new olsen twins or wayans brothers movie, and i'm hoping the cd single will have a picture of liz in a sheer red bustier and black thigh-highs, bent over to pick up a spilled cherry strudel off a shiny black floor while she looks back at the camera between her legs. and then, maybe if we're lucky, the next single after that will be 'why can't i', which just needed a bit more airplay to become a big success. maybe 'why can't i - the dance remix'. man, why can't her manager think up cool ideas like these? what is he paid for anyway? o _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
