I suggest you all get it. It's an interview about Jazz Squad. *laura* ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Sep 1999 19:57:20 -0400 From: "theresa mccart" Subject: Oh! The Grandeur Review Helloooo Dahlings! I just read Jess' review of Oh! The Grandeur. Great stuff Jess! You're an amazing writer! First off, the liner notes for Grandeur are simply amazing. Andrew is up there with Julian Cope (Brit artist) for giving good liner notes. Riveting reading! What I got from the liner notes, in contrast to Jess' review and in reference to Andrew's brother being autistic and his grandfather eating oignons, was that Andrew was doing a nice bit of creative writing. I don't think that there was any truth to his notes. He was executing the "tongue in cheek" style of writing . For example, on "Tea and Thorazine", to the side of the liner notes, Andrew writes "Note: This song contains three characters and one crackpot idea". Hence, none of the people that were featured in the song exist. I love the drawings in the liner notes. What is that thing to the side of the lyrics for "Wishing for Contentment"? It looks like a garlic clove with a well pump stuck to the top of it. Ok. Here are the songs that I like best: Candy Shop (Hooray for Andrew! I can't wait for the film to come out). Wait (The violin playing is very lovely). Vidalia Beware (Starts off sounding like the soundtrack to a Tim Burton movie). Dora Goes to Town (Why weren't the lyrics posted for this song?) Feetlips (I can't imagine this song being used for a commercial. I also can't imagine BOF actually lending the song to be in a commercial. Something is amiss here. Well at least the creative directors at the advertising companies have good taste). Coney Island Shuffle (I love this song). What's Your Angle (Triangle)? (I love the lyrics to this song. They remind me of a "Mr. Men" book). The BOF style of music also reminds me of the author James Purdy. Great stuff. Oh yes, is anybody going to the record release launch? How about the movie that is or has come out. Any word on that? Take care, Theresa. >Hey, since i know a few of y'all can't afford the new BOF album, and i love >it so much i want everyone to have it....i decided The Shrub should give >away a copy of it. > >So go to www.theshrubbery.com and read the review of the album then see how >to enter the contest. I decided this was much more fair than me just buying >everyone a copy :) > >Jess ------------------------------ End of the-landing-digest V2 #206 *********************************
