Ben Harper, live: Monday, July 7th, at Clutch Cargo, 65 E. Huron St.,
"New"(?) Pontiac, Michigan. *Well* worth checking him out. I'll probably
be there...

re: pink floyd/wizard of oz
I heard them blithering about this one on the radio today. Curiously enough,
they had different details than this account...

Perhaps the Ozian Floyd is the start of a new urban legend...

Katt- If you haven't already, you should check out his first album, _Welcome
to the Cruel World_. It's a superior album. Also, his third album, _Will
to Live_ is due out Tuesday, June 17. It's sounding pretty good, so far, as
well.

The Oz/Floyd thing was in the NY Times today (The Week in Review section)
A fairly skeptical editorial.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. I'm pretty familiar with Roger Waters' approach to
music, and this doesn't sound like his bag.
I wonder if this means we'll hear from Waters and Gilmour...

I heard on WQRS this morning that Luciano Pavorotti (sp) and Michael Jackson
are going to come out with some album of something. Sounds scary...

I shudder to think...
I heard a while ago about some collaboration between Pavarotti and U2--has
anyone else heard anything about this?

I suspect that there might have been something along these lines on
the PAVAROTTI AND FRIENDS disc, which was a charity fundraiser.

Pavarotti and Jackson? Odd combination. I think we ought to try and come
up with a list of other interesting duets, just for kicks and grins...
Pavarotti did something on the _Passengers_ album with U2. The album was
apparently some music to accompany some imaginary films. Does anyone think
U2 can exploit this media thing any farther?
Sheesh. I'll take my Negativland and Tape-beatles, instead...

Placido Domingo (opera) and John Denver (popular) did some duets...

well, David Bowie sung eith Bing Crosby. So why not Pavarotti and U2?
Exploytation is the key to it all Mark. that is how they make the big bucks.
To lure the ignorant and "hip" into thinking everything and anything they did
and do is totally right and ordaned by a God of some sort. consumerism is
evil.

Re #64 The video for "Little Drummer Boy" by Bing Crosby and David Bowie
has been seen on MTV during the Holiday season. It is from the
Christmas TV special that Der Bingle taped in London before his death.

It stands to reason that Bowie and Crosby were paired up, though. They
both had refined singing voices. That was a pretty nice pairing, too.

I was thinking more along the lines of what interesting combinations we could
come up with, on our own (but, I'll also enjoy hearing some of the ones that
have already been tried)...
For instance, howabout Ozzy Osbourne and Ravi Shankar?

I've always wanted to have a recording of a duet between
Johnny Lydon and Dagmar Krause. It would be great for getting
rid of unwanted guests..

re 67- Oh God, NO! Ugh.
I liked the Domingo/Denver duets, as I did the Willie Nelson/Julio duets.
Usually these things are neat, but don't even joke about Shankar and Osbourne.

on the face of it it doesn't seem that much more farfetched than a
teaming of Eddie Vedder and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, which has already
happened..

Yah, how about the old Pat Boone with the New and Improved Pat Boone?
Tori Amos did, I belive, do a duet with one of the members of Led Zepplin on
Encomium, which worked surprisingly well.
One of the things I've always wanted to see is some sort of collaboration
between traditional blues artists, and some of blues's more distant offshoots.

I want to here, say, mariah Carey pair with Trent Reznor or Metallica.
Maybe Natalie Cole With Korn or Marilyn manson :)

No kidding! What's up with the new Pat Boone? Now Johnny Cash doing a
Soundgarden song was cool. But Pat Boone is just looking silly...
Still, it would be a hilarious party album...
