At first I thought it was an early show!. . . Yes (she said, in a non-South Dakota-fashion - ), his voice DID sound a wee bit shattered - but man, did he ever recover later! Like I said - he played his heart out. Funny warm up: "Under My Thumb", in faux-Mick (not faux-Myk!) style - 'Unduh MAH thuuuumb - UH!' As to the L.A. Times clip - Jon Brion was the other person who played with Robyn that night . I couldn't remember his name, until the newspaper mention. Grant, John & Robyn were a fine mix.

But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compares with you,
And these mem'ries lost their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
In my life I'll love you more.

just a reminder- not that anyone needs one- Dec. 8th is the day John Lennon was murdered- should be a globally recognised day of mourning. Its also hoodeds birthday (27), should have known I'd be the 20th centuries version of Job, with having one of this generations greatest musicians die on my birthday. I was too young to really care at the time but can you imagine (sorry about the 'imagine' pun) the impact Lennon would have had, had he lived? I'd like to think he wouldn't "sell out" and remain true to his transendental values. Well, lets all "imagine" this next day. night all!

Oh, well, there's a whole new world out there waiting and all kinds of music to be discovered. Anyone up for Mardi Gras? Nah, I don't think I could handle New Orleans during Mardi Gras!

i'm not sure about your 2nd question, hooded, but as for "is it worth getting the greatest hits?" question... well... probably not. i own UncPerTraits, and it is the superior of the 2. it has some amusing anecdotes from fans on the lengthy liner notes, but far more interesting is robyn's recollections of the creation of each song. you must ask yourself if THIS makes it worth the cash. as for the other collection, i haven't seen the liner notes, but the song list is heavily lopsided... alot like buying "Perspex Island" AGAIN. i probably won't buy that one.

Well, Canton was ok, didn't go to the hall of fame. They didn't get a foot of snow, just a few inches. Just enough for an impropteau snowball fight with my younger brother. He's as big as a linebacker, but has the arm of a girl. It was a good match, he didn't hit me and I plastered him a dozen times. He leaves for Korea friday, so it was only proper that I give him one more shellacking. Found a decent record store and was impressed with their R.H. collection, they had about 1/4 what I already have. Are the new 'Greatest Hits' and 'Uncorrected personality traits' worth getting if I already have all tracks on other recordings? Well, I did buy 'Different Times, Lou Reed in the seventies'. I knew that The soft boys covered the velvet underground once on '76-81' but Lou recorded 'Caroline Says' in 1973. That track appears on '76-81' and is one of my favorite. I wonder what other tunes the artists have shared? Anyone?

If I have never offended you, christ jesus help us when and if you ever get angry. You have never read any Joyce, have you? Except when some cruel intelligent teacher apparantly force-fed Dubliners to you. Now you take out your profound anger on anybody who mentions the old Irish f--t smeller. Wake in the trash, indeed. That's it: You are the unibomber of literature. When I thought you loved Joyce and were being elitist and shaming me for perhaps being snobbish (never!), you were actually trying to bring Jimsy & me down out of perceived "pretentiousness" on my part. Well then. Nobody owns great literature, not even me. Way back when, I thought, you were playing "interpretation" with me regarding The Dead. You never offered any clues then and now I know why: you don't understand it, except in that cold dictionary entry sort of way -- like when you defined a Brompton's c--ktail. Well, goodbye.

August hair, Are you into it, and many more of Robyns songs are interesting because of their tonal arrangement.The long sustained and controlled vocal stlye of singing is almost hypnotising and very calming.I spend lots of time learning the verse and vocal inflections of each song when I get new material of his.My voice has has the almost exact nature of Robyns..except he is more barritone.Anyway the point I am makeing is that it is almost euphoric to sing along to these songs.I relate it to some kind of "Breathing" technique and makes me wish I had wrote these songs myself.What a wonderfull artist.Now to see his new movie and read his book..in the moonlight..Yeah!
