Krauss could sing "Pop Goes The Weasel" and make it sound divine. I've never heard a more *pleasing* voice than hers in my life.

One detail -- you can see my old apartment in a few exterior shots (it was
shot in the Northern Liberties section of Philly).

Yeah, but depending on what neighborhood you're in, even calling the stuff
"art" might be, well, a bad endorsement.

Why should we then discriminate between high opinions ("Don't
discriminate between high/low art.") and low opinions ("Some forms
of art are better than others.")? Or do these rules about not
discriminating only apply to the value of art and not to the value
of opinions about art?

>What do people want? (from TRICKY)
Howabout a solid, quality album like "maxinquaye' or "pre-millenial
tension"?
- ---------------------------------------
TRICKY has said that he won't repeat his formula, he likes to move on ...
and I think that with BLOWBACK he's done a very good "commercial" album with
that TRICKY vibe. I remember he said that BLOW BACK was THE album
MAXINQUAYE fans were waiting for. I have to say that I disagree because
it's obviously not the same atmosphere, but it has the same "catchiness", if
you know what I mean. Anyway that's just my opinion. I have to admit that
one of my favourite TRICKY albums is ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES, one of his
most difficult ones, but BLOW BACK is a solid commercial release.

Subject: RE: Lynch film sndtrk? / best of 2001
Opinions on the soundtrack for Mullholland Drive anyone? Haven't seen film
yet..
- -------------------------------
It's another solid excellent Badalamenti/Lynch album. Some of Badalamenti's
pieces are his most atmospheric, very dense and sometimes long. The are
three songs from Lynch's upcoming project BLUE BOB (with his sound engineer
John Neff). The songs are (like I said before) like the song PINK ROOM in
the Twin Peaks FWWM Soundtrack, kind of slow, brutal, 50s atmosphere, lots
of twangy guitar and some great studio effects. I'm really looking forth to
this album. Like BLUE VELVET, LOST HIGHWAY and WILD AT HEART you can also
find songs by other artists, in this case LINDA SCOTT with "Why haven't I
told you", the typical 50s girl group song that Lynch loves. There are also
some blues songs by Sonny Boy Williamson and somebody else I can't remember
right now. If you like Lynch/Badalamenti, then get it, it's great. Oh, and
I haven't seen the film yet, either.

Yes, you have to pay to see all the great stuff that Lynch has on his
websites, but the STORE will be open for everybody when it's available in
january. Don't worry, you will be able to buy everything, the DVDs, the
CDs, paintings, etc.

Or between bad readings (not discriminating between high and low art means
that one isn't discriminating) and good readings (so-called "anti-art"
categories like "pop," "heavy metal," "rap," "blues," "bluegrass," or
"swing" [to invoke an older problem of discrimination] are as worthy of the
category of "art" as any classical symphony or free jazz excursion--no
genrecide in other words. Or, in another instance, where all judgment is
conditioned not by "timeless," "universal" aesthetic values, but rather
something more mundane--like what sounds good, feels good, jives with one's
history, experience, sensibility, channeled ghosts, drug of choice, real or
imagined, what a respected writer told one to like, or a quivering feeling
of loneliness in a crowd of consensus, etc. etc.). (You see, Skip, we agreed
all along. As for you, Floyd, you're not reading--again).
