Extraordinary Machine is STILL stuck in my head and I am so curious about the rest of the album. I hope that some more bootlegs can at least make it out if Sony is just going to sit on it forever.

Some are greatest hits or old cds. I really couldn't rate them, but will categorize them according to how often I listened to them. COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY CD PLAYER: Evanescence - Fallen Seether - Disclaimer II Aerosmith - O! Yeah (Greatest Hits) Dido - Life for Rent John Denver - All Time Greatest Hits SPENT SOME TIME IN THE PLAYER: U2 - How to Dismantle.... (I'd much rather see them live, since I was blown away by their performance on SNL prior to this release.) Alterbridge - One Day Remains (Even if I were to listen to this CD, it reminds me too much of the hurricanes, since I saw them in concert shortly after Frances.) Fantasia - Free Yourself SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTED, BUT WILL LISTEN TO: Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head Vanessa Carlton - Harmonium DEFNITELY NEED TO LISTEN TO MORE OFTEN: Sarah McLachlan - Afterglow I've also checked out Buddy Holly's stuff and bought the greatest hits of Guns n' Roses. Best concert for me this year was Evanescence with Seether opening. Aerosmith was great as well, but the fun was taken away when I saw the screens on the stage that posted the song lyrics and of what song was to be played next. Looking forward to Elton John in March!

[- - dandy warhols - come down (the only one of their's that i have. i saw several rock documentaries this year, and Dig! was the best of the batch. does anyone know if the brian jonestown massacre albums are worth searching out? i can't find them very easily, but wonder if they are this good.)] i just saw this about a month ago on sundance channel, i think.... all i could think was "where the fuck was i....? how come i never heard of them before??" i never heard a peep about BJM--and i make at least a small effort to keep up with this stuff. so, hmmmm. anyway, i do think anton newcombe is the musical genius he is touted to be. i did some research on the whole thing and some writers/critics won't give it to him, but i will. i haven't actually gone out to look for their stuff, but it's a top priority on my list. ya know, this may be a task for emule, as the record stores are totally shitty these days and all the cool little stores are shutting down. as for us whiners, i agree with the person who posted a coupla days ago. i have absolutely no problem with her decision to "go pop." couldn't care less. she already *was* pretty hook-y and poplike before. not much of a stretch. it's just that now her final products (to use the proper vernacular) suck. they're just not good songs. sorry. the production is flaccid and uninspired. and the writing? lazy, people; face it. and, exactly, gwen stefani can put something together in that genre a million times more interesting. i don't think pop has to equal generic and/or stupid. refer to scritti politti. pure pop. pure fun. pure genius. christ, back in the day, haircut 100 and heaven 17 could put out some awesome pop records. and whatever happened to the blow monkeys? altogether now: "ahhhhhmmmm diggin' yo-oh-oh-r sce-e-e-e-ene...." ahhhhh.... plus, uh-huh, after four or five years? a song about underwear? it either dried up or she just doesn't care anymore. i know it happens--at least admit to it. bob dylan did. i saw "cherish" a few weeks ago. liz's acting abitility: is she trying to emulate madonna with that one, too? yikes. seriously, she should NOT quit her day job. oh, nevermind; too late.... i quit feeling sorry for her/being concerned/caring a long time ago. you know: privately, to myself, in my own mind. moving on.... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2004 20:49:29 -0800 (PST) From: Brett Carter Subject: [support-system] year end list hello all, de-lurking for a second to give you my year-end list. the first five i have numbered cuz those were abfab favorites! the rest aren't numbered, but that doesn't mean i love them any less (well..maybe slightly, but not too much!). brett here's my love 'em list. the first five are my favorites, and i've numbered them so, but the rest....i just couldn't decide. brett 1. jon brion - eternal sunshine of the spotless mind 2. sam phillips - a boot and a shoe 3. pj harvey - uh huh her 4. rilo kiley - more adventurous 5. sonic youth - sonic nurse neko case - the tigers have spoken franz ferdinand high water marks - sons about the ocean the black keys - rubber factory jon brion - i heart huckabee's cowboy junkies - one soul now jem - finally woken tom waits - real gone the cardigans - long gone before daylight air - talkie walkie ac newman - slow wonder sarah harmer - all of our names loretta lynn - van lear rose I didn't include these in the top cds becuz i just haven't spent enough time with them yet. wilco - a ghost is born the united states of america - S/T (reissue) elliott smith - a basement on a hill brian wilson - smile the hives - tyrannosaurus hives interpol - antics ted leo - shake the streets ===== Diary, I finally got my lazy eye fixed! I just HAD to! It almost got me in serious trouble. You see, on that last video shoot, Eve thought I was winking at her and trying to give HER some "gangsta lovin'"! Diary, maybe I was winking at Eve? I am not sure. I am so confused! I can only tell you these things, dear Diary. Anyway, now that the lazy eye is fixed, no more Fedora hats for me! Diary, I still feel bad for that whole India.Arie Grammy thing. I mean, I took home all these awards and she went home with none. Her album was even better than mine, imagine that! Diary, do you think I should just go by her house and drop off one of my Grammys to give to her? Or better yet, maybe I can honor her on my next CD by "revisiting" "Video" or "Brown Skin" -- and I can change the lyrics and the title, and say I wrote it! Yeah, Diary, that's what I'll do -- I like doing that, that's so much fun! - -From the diary of Alicia Keys __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage.
