Re: From Ohio, various

Strange week, this one just past.  Flew to St. Louis, rented a Jeep 
Wrangler, worked a bunch in between surreal moments of fun.  Saw a band 
with three lovely women vocalists in a bar in Nashville that had a 
rapidly roving mood and style eerily reminiscent of SNL's Swingle 
sisters (Jan Hooks).  Went to Pulaski TN, where the KKK was founded, but 
obviously not for that reason.  Lost my luggage in an unnerving 10 
minute Cleveland layover.  Didn't get in until 4:45 last morning from 
another strange mysterious night of fun.

Lara, I think next time we get together I need a brief timeline of your 
life, school etc history.  Intriguing.  Re: State lyrics in songs:  go 
to a lyric server on the internet and search for the ones not found.

Re: Mike Georgian:  I had spoken with Jason Dennie and Mike and they had 
said they were working on something together about five months ago.  I 
went to the Slant CD release party the other week, picked up a copy of 
it.  Presumably good stuff, but I'm not a huge fan of avant garde jazz 
so don't ask me.

Re: Real time vs. Digest list: I've never been a real timer.  Pointless, 
really.  If ya wanna see if someone's posted since the last digest, go 
to the actwin.com/OtR/month.9902 site (or whatever year/month you're 
interested in) and respond accordingly.  I've posted this before, I 
think people gloss over this or I hide this gem in unnecessarily long 
verbage or e-mail.  Heck, I'd settle for one e-mail a month from the 
digest list.

Animaniacs are brilliant.  I've only seen them once or twice, but my pal 
Brad (whose opinion on anything comedic generally requires no second 
guessing).  We're also revivalist fans of South Park, now that it's 
funny again (more than funny; the Prehistoric Iceman from 1996 episode 
was brilliant).

I went on a CD buying frenzy today as well.  John Cale box set (wowee!), 
Emm Gryner, REMs "Daysleeper" import with alternate versions etc, 
Beautiful South's "Quench", Cardigan's "Gran Turismo", Cher's "Believe" 
CD (that freakin' song followed my journey last week like a plague), 
George Michael's greatest hits double set

REM are a brilliant band, but a poor OtR comparison or benchmark.  After 
"Radio Free Europe"s Hib-Tone indie single, they were always well 
supported by IRS then WB for Green and beyond.  "Murmer" got rave 
reviews by TONS of ultra-mainstream press; I remember hearing Rockville 
(second album) on pop radio and seeing the "Fall on Me" (fourth album) 
video everywhere when I was a little youth.

I bet I come across as seeming snotty when I write paragraphs like the 
one above.  I'm really not snotty in real life (I hope).  Sorry.

I have a few random questions.  Does anyone know why Mexico is so 
unsafe?  How can a whole nation be so corrupt?  K-razy.  Another 
question I have is what is Vanity Fair's target audience?  I bought one 
'cos of the Star Wars cover, and was pretty intrigued by the whole 
content of the magazine.  Wacko but interesting article analyzing the 
Clinton/Rodham union.
