subject line? what subject line?
When I sent the following message yesterday, it had a nifty little subject line of "AOTD (All-purpose-quotation Of The Decade)", which appears to have been stripped, at least on the digest. Just so everybody knows what I was really nominating Steve Earle for. Nina Melechen In today's digest: Well, I'll stand in front of Rob Miller's fantastic jukebox there in his living room, in my best pair of overalls, with a haybale, and a feather boa drinking RC Cola, munching on a moon pie, and tell him Jr's right, and a whole bunch of references in the last couple of digests, and even more in the past So: I nominate Steve Earle for his AOTD Nina Melechen

Boy Howdy! If Id a known I would cause this kind of commotion with my little ol post I might have actually thought about what I was writing before I wrote it! I must apologize if I was too harsh with my words-I think you all are a great bunch of people! I guess I get a little giddy when I have enough money to actually buy music and it was in my state of giddy that I wrote. If you dont mind I would like to defend myself a bit because I apparently offended a few among us and did so very unintentionally. To Mr. Yates: Maybe the two of us do not share the same definition of dissing, but I would have to disagree with your statement . I have heard a lot of dissing of Wilco. To Jon, who said: How do you get from this: A sprinkle of Pink Floyd , just enough to mellow out the strong flavor of Beatles, and finish it off with big dollop of eighties pop to this: there are new and uncharted territories yet to be discovered and Jeff Tweedy and Wilco are just the guys to prove it. in the space of a single paragraph? I am afraid I did not communicate well here. Being that "there is nothing new under the sun," we can both probably agree that all musicians derive certain aspects of their sound from their musical influences. Those attributes that are adopted from the aforementioned influences combine with one another in the influenced, and, if this happens to take place in an individual who knows what to do with it, a new and exciting sound is born-musical genetics if you will? The uncharted territory that I was speaking of was the way in which Wilco produces a new (in my opinion) sound from those influences. remember i am a Wilco sympathizer and applaud the new production. (although Summerteeth IS starting to bore me). But it is funny to talk of this being ground breaking when the High Llamas and a few other bands have already been copying Brian Wilson for years and when the concept itself is very retro. Sorry, I am not quite of your stature when it comes to musical knowledge, I have never heard of the High Llamas ( although I will check them out if ever I encounter them) so I can not agree or disagree on your point. I will ,however, say this: Jeff Tweedy has called this album a pop album, and for a pop album, I think it kicks ass. Definitely not Nick Lowe! But up against the trash that has come to be known as pop music; Matchbox Twenty or NSync, Wilco is doing fine! What I wouldnt give to be able to hear that kind of pop when I turned on my car stereo! I might be a minority here but I think it would be a good day for music if Wilco got a push from their label and went to that next level, I think American pop music needs it . Thank you for inciting me to think more about my subject. No offense intended. Peace on Earth. Good will toward men. -Jezzylarue _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Changing Subject Lines
Title: Re: Changing Subject Lines I guess this isn't so much about who's a good alt.country band as who I like these days, but here goes: the Pinetops from Winston Salem - I think that Jeffery Dean Foster (who is NOT JD Foster. he's a youngin') is a vivid, intuitive songwriter and the band that he assembled for his record Above Ground and Vertical is the tops - they're doing what might be called Uncle Tupelo but really they reind me of about 5 of my favorite bands all at once ...I think Beaver Nelson is the male Lucinda Williams - don't fuck up and miss him if you're gonna be in Austin...I love the Yay-hoos and think using Chip Robinson as the frontman is brilliant even if they're calling it the Backsliders...I like the emo-roots of Lou Ford...The new Hazeldine record (as yet without a home due to Unigram hell) is brilliant! Its the ulitmate Chick's Roadtrip Record...Pete Krebs from PORTLAND is the real deal (another great band performing great songs) Sweet Ona Rose coming from Cavity Search Records soon...Little Sue from PORTLAND has the vocal talents of Iris Dement, the spirit of Loretta Lynn and the relevance of Edith Frost or Freakwater...Fernando from PORTLAND is gonna shock you all with his new album (nothing you'd expect if you've heard his other stuff) rootsy psychedelic roots rock - you heard me right...isolated scenes come up with the most interesting stuff - big city clusterfucks don't seem to matter as much to their participants...or something...xoxo -- From: Don Yates [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: passenger side [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Changing Subject Lines Date: Mon, Mar 1, 1999, 6:23 PM On Mon, 1 Mar 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Please divulge, Ms. Jdiva, the names of the really good stuff that's tickling your ear.

Seems like many alt-acts want to be like Tupe! Trouble for me is, I didn't really like UT all that much to begin with.

Re: Changing Subject Lines
I wouldn't dream of casting a politically incporrect pallor over any baby bands by identifying them by name, but trust me...there's some really good punk-tinged-country-rock going on out there.

I bought the new Hadacol cd a few weeks ago and haven't been able to stop playing it. Definitely my favorite of the year so far. Wondering if anyone has seen them live yet? John Flippo

Neal Weiss Geez, Neal, if folks like you don't listen to those piles of twang hopefuls, and then sift out all the crap, then we're gonna have to do all the dirty work. C'mon, we depend on you guys to sacrifice your ears to the common weal, to save all the rest of us schmucks from wasting untold fortunes on Twang Devil, and Barbed Heart, and Cowboy Ear, and Dudley Doright and the Mounties, and, aw, you know what I mean. So, buck up, son and get back to work. There's another dozen pieces of twang shit to listen to, in order to find that one diamond. -- Terry Smith (now, who the hell is Pete Krebs?)

John said: I bought the new Hadacol cd a few weeks ago and haven't been able to stop playing it. Definitely my favorite of the year so far. Wondering if anyone has seen them live yet? Yes. Marie and I saw them here in Nashville weekend before last. We loved them. Really nice guys, too. Small crowd though, which sucked since they drove all the way down here just for this show. I would definately recommend them live. Ronni

Read Dreaming Out Loud for a blow by blow account of his obsession for control, to the point where he was making so much moeny and had everyone at the label in a strangle hold, there was very little left (moeny or time) for the other artists on the label. Gotta great story about that, heard from someone I know that was signed to Capital at the time, but isn't anymore. Names have been changed to protect their parents... Mr. X told me that the guy Garth maneuvered into Jimmy Bowen's place knew absolutely ZERO about music. There was a marketing meeting at Capital that the New Guy sat in on. They were discussing a project where they took old Patsy Cline recordings paired up current country singers to duet with her, like Hank Jr's Tear In My Beer. They were having some trouble with one of the artists being able to clear his or her schedule in time to make the recording date, the New Guy reportedly said, well why doesn't someone call Patsy ask her to intervene?.

I didn't realize it was Thursday yesterday so I didn't get a Reader so this will be missing some outlying dates but if there's anything you need to know for the weekend I'll post it tonight. It's been a weird couple of weeks. Worst blizzard in 30 years is, um, disorienting and extremely time consuming, especially any effort to leave the house and go somewhere. Garbage hasn't been collected in almost three weeks, but the snow makes everything sparkly in the streetlights and you can kind of tell where people get the idea of putting droopy marshmallow frosting on gingerbread houses. The snow melts a little, then slides a little then freezes in that place and more snow comes. Well. . .I digress. So I started a new job the Monday after the blizzard--same as the old job but a new project which I just love everything about--people, the building, the office, the work, but especially the people. Haven't liked a job so much in ten years. Then I had this amazing party that lasted 8.5 hours and I wouldn't have wanted it to end a minute sooner. Thought I should say that since Mel posted something I wrote kind of out of context which made it sound a little like I couldn't wait for the Postcarders and P2ers to go home which was not the case. This crowd knows how to just keep on makin' the best time! So it took a day or so to recover from that (although I still can't figure out how to get the furniture back where it was before!) plus all of which I've had an awful cold this week. That's how come I didn't know it was Thursday yesterday and didn't get a Reader. So, without further ado, here's the Chicago calendar-- HAVE FUN!
