someone mentioned elliot smith, i am going to see him tonight but i really do not want to. i saw him a few years back when he was opening for the tindersticks and gosh he was dreamy, all deer in the headlights and quiveringly charming as he strummed his lonely songs all by his lonesome but ack i saw him last year or earlier this year or something like that and it was rawking as he was with quasi kinney and it was dreadful except for the encore when he played by himself as he had back when he opened for the tindersticks and he was lovely. i already have my shampoo care package for him though. red bulls are big bags of rock salt crammed into a little can right? maybe they might be useful if you were stuck in a snowdrift on the side of the road but i can't imagine any other time i would want one. someone else said their students make more sense than the teachers, this might be the case but i think this thinking is a bad trend. i spent last weekend or the one before watching a 'youth summit' and listened to the kids whine(quite incoherently in obtuse slang) about how no one takes them seriously and i thought to myself thank god no one takes these kids seriously oh but then the grown-up moderator said something like 'amen, parents start listening to your kids' or something stupid like that. i am always distressed at movies or television programs where the kids have traded roles with adults and act like the wise ones. kids are dumb, always have been always will be why is this so hard to understand? well excpet for doogie howser and that was only cause he had a huge forehead to pack in his big brain. the puddle had a hit song with a tune that was a rip-off of the doogie howser theme track. i ordered the robert scott solo lp, how exciting, he has written thousands of songs apparently but now he has no band to release them with now so he is solo bob scott now and this record is mostly instrumental like scenes from the south island instrumental which might be a bit of an overstatement. however, apparently the clean may record another album soon. how thrilling. still waiting for cloudboy but aren't we all. thom yorke is voting for nader, nader for dictator! keith m __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
