Happyboy knows that, ashke. But he has trouble showing his true feelings,
and his desperate, doomed infatuation with Babra is at the core of it.
Just remember whenever you see one of his obnoxious postings that he's really
trying to act out from a core of loneliness and fear.

I find it ironic that both people defending Barbra Streisand misspelled her
first name. Although I assume Scott's was a typo.
While I harbor no hostile feelings toward Ms. Streisand, I must respectfully
disagree with Ashke on the aesthetic quality of her singing.

Truly? I like her rendition of "Memory" the best, I like "Evergreen", "you
don't bring me flowers" and many others. I think on the whole she is a great
singer.

Now playing:
King Crimson -- "Lizard"
Over the years, many of their albums have competed in my opinions
for the title of "favorite King Crimson album" but I think that
"Lizard" will remain the long-term winner for me, though that's an
opinion I don't expect any other Crimson fan to agree with..
"Lizard" is one of a small group of albums (less than 20, surely)
that I didn't like at first, in fact couldn't stand for months after
buying it. Then one day it was like someone filled in the rest of the
music I wasn't hearing and in no time at all it went from despised and
regretted impulse purchase to long-lasting favorite.

(For me, "Babra" isn't a typo; it's a dialect)

[re #149: perhaps "Bahbra" would be a clearer indication of your intention..]

151, 149> I concur, mostly on account of 151 is what I was gonna say. ;}
Ashke> Hey, given Barbra's popularity and sales, as well as her concert
prices, you clearly have the majority view. *shrug* As any good hooker will
tell you, different strokes for different folks.

<bursts out laughing> ok. I just like her music. Mostly the earlier stuff,
but I do like it. but I would NEVER see her in concert and pay for it because
frankly, she's not worth THAT much. 150-1000 a ticket? Hell no!

U2 - "All That You Can't Leave Behind You"
Decent enough, but not as good as Zooropa or Achtung Baby.
Whether it's better or worse than their early stuff or stuff
from the Unforgettable Fire / Joshua Tree period will depend
on your opinions of those periods respectively, but it's kind
of an apples and oranges comparison..

Cassandra Wilson, "New Moon Daughter".
Interesting CD... Wilson is considered a "jazz" singer, but this isn't exactly
jazz. Some interesting covers (including U2 and the Monkees), some original
tunes, all done in a rather sparse, mostly acoustic production. And the
arrangements are closer to Tom Waits than anything else.

CBC Radio's Saturday night show, Radio Sonic. Now playing Smudge, by UNGIN
(?). Sounds
like electronic/jazz/trance??? They're giving away a cd by Ladytron to
anyone who can make up "What a Ladytron might be". Some band from
Liverpool. Didn't some other band come from there?

I rather suspect the band took its name from the Roxy Music song by
that name. Of course that only pushes the question back a few decades.
now playing: Beth Orton - "Best Bits EP" Does anyone know anything about
Jazz vocalist Terry Callier, who sings two duets with Orton on this EP?
I really like his vocals on the tracks they sing together..

This evening selection (okay.....all day) is Ute Lemper - Berlin Cabaret
Songs. She covers a bunch of 20's cabaret songs, all done in German. I
hadn't realized it, but there is an English version as well....which is the
one that I had intended to buy. But I'm thrilled with this one! I will,
however, buy the English one one of these days.

Tori Amos, "Past the Mission."
Although really, I think I'd be better off listening to the Texas Playboys.
