okay, yes she is the damn i wish i was your lover girl... the eels (intentionally not capitalised even though i dont capitalise anything anyway) had a #1 modern rock or alternative or whatever you call it hit in th us 2 years ago with novicaine for the soul, which, although discount priced by the label still only pushed about 150000 copies (ive no idea why i remember this). anyway, they had a follow-up song called ashes to ashes or dust to dust or something like that, which wasnt very good and had an awful fake americas funniest home videos video... they were sort of ok... nothing i would buy, but some people swore by them... they were on sessions at west 54th, which is odd because usually that is reserved for great musicians, so maybe i was missing something. luscious jackson was also on sessions come to think of it (hey what about their drummer? was she vivian that left?), just before the lovely fiona apple. ok aol is making me skip lines when i dont want to, and all of my mail is enormous, so i shall stop now. matt << Is Sophie B. Hawkins that "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" girl?? A long time ago, I saw a band called the Eels cover that song. (In fact, they were opening for Lucious Jackson, those crazy Eels.) I don't think they were very good (re: I don't remember anything about them), but they DID suddenly exclaim, "AND NOW, AUSTIN, TEXAS, THE SONG YOU VOTED YOUR MOST FAVORITE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE..." and burst into song with "Damn, I wish I was your Lover." I laughed and laughed. Today I bought the new Spinanes album. It is fairly beautiful, but nowhere near as perfect as "Manos." Maybe because Scott left the band. Hmmm. I also bought the 2 CD Matador compilation that I've wanted forever but never purchased. Pavement's version of "The Killing Moon" easily makes my top ten songs of all time list. So perfect. Last week, I bought a car. Later this month, I am buying a vacation. Soon I will be very poor. Love, Kristen >> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
