I've seen Beck live a few times before and even own a couple of his previous albums, but his set on Saturday was ABYSMAL. I left halfway through his set and went to listen to Underworld. (They were amazing, btw!) While I am excited to see Beth getting such a high profile collaboration to add to her list of accomplishments, I just wish this album was going to be stronger overall. I was one of thousands who left the main stage area where Beck was playing to go check out other artists. I can't believe this crap is getting good reviews. I hope the song Beth appears on is stronger than what I heard this weekend. I was bitterly disappointed. Derek May, Bis and Morrissey were amazing on Saturday at Coachella, as well. I was disappointed with the performance of Super Furry Animals, though. It was pretty drab and dry. Earlier in the week, I caught the first two shows in Morrissey's tour (in Phoenix, AZ and Santa Barbara, CA), the show in Las Vegas was cancelled due to Alain's back spasming. I met many Morrissey fans and even got to see Morrissey enter the venue in Cali. You wouldn't believe the fan network they have set up. They have really cohesive mailing lists and bulletin boards and they all seem to know one another. I had several offers of places to stay overnight whilst travelling with the tour, as well as offers of doubles of concerts pics and bootlegs. We Beth Ortonians should aspire to create such a wonderful international community! These concerts were EXPERIENCES, not just performances! Check out www.morrissey-solo.com if you want to see an amazing fan site. I can not express completely what an incredible experience this past week has been. Beth and her fans deserve such a resource. We really have our work cut out for us. >^..^< Justinia, jet-lagged but content ______________________________________________________ Get your free web-based email at http://www.xoom.com Birthday?
