"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

![]() @Davee: Tell me about it. Between missing work for Mom's cancer stuff and having a new batch of people at the temp slave galleys interfering with my chair/station in my absence...very tempted to blow off after only 6 hours at work (we have to take mandatory lunch after that) and start the weekend a bit early to catch up on my own stuff. Apartment looks like it was robbed and I'm finding things in the fridge that have evolved to the point of having a bicameral system of government.... |

![]() And yes, I second @Davee RE some NOMI. Maybe "Ding Dong" or "Falling in Love Again?" |

![]() "I do not like to bring it, but I do not know where you're going and what you're doing, ignoring the seven years and talking about friends like Dell and Bonnie, remember who they are. Jazz comments that are true without sound do you think it's the best? It seems everyone who's blind or has seen us." |
