Carbon is a favorite of mine too. To me, the song is a story about a girl during a manic episode. Significant to me because my sister and two of my friends are bi-polar, so I see these episodes alot. I also love Pancake and Scarlet's Walk. Possibly because the two songs are polar two each other in the Sound. "I think I'm somewhat close to breaking down and buying this album. I sort of can't stop enjoying the singles when I hear them on the radio." (RE: The Enimem Show) I'm beginning to feel the same way. As a person, I don't agree with him. But as a song writer, you can't help but tip your ear to the guy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I got some wonderful lose leaf Oolong tea yesterday. It's really fabulous. I love lose tea, especially with raw, unfiltered Colorado honey. Which is great for my allergies.

A lot of other people have said they don't like it. Elaborate? :)" I dunno. I've just never liked Tori's a capella songs (all two of them :). i don't like listening to Me and a Gun (a long time ago, when i was making a tape of LE, i left it off), not because it's hard to listen to or anything, but it's just not that interesting. same thing with Wampum Prayer. It might have had a stronger presence for me if it was the first song. it feels like an introduction. favorite moments on Scarlet's Walk: The sequence of Wednesday-Strange-Carbon The last part of Carbon that she keeps repeating "her horizon". meow. Drum and Bass on Sweet Sangria, and also the chorus. Hell, the whole song is great. your cloud "Tracking the beacon here/Is there a signal there" *Boom* instruments. love that. i came out of bedroom this morning and realized i left the gas stove on all night. ouch, PECO. -bethany _______________________________________________________________ a journal : http://hejira.u-town.com "Well it's times like these I feel so small and wild Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child And i'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill Singin these blues with a warble and a trill But i'm not too blue to fly."

On New Year's Day, John brought the new Alanis albums along with the DVD. We only ended up watching part of it, because it was a good two hours long. it was great, it had live songs and little interview interludes in between each song. and then I looked at the DVD we got with Tori's album - two videos and a bunch of photos? what the fuck? i'm excited, but i'm not holding my breath when it comes to this Scarlet's Sessions DVD that's supposed to come out. Why can't Tori ever do something like Alanis did with this DVD? I feel like it would be so great if the DVD consisted of each song being played live, with a little commentary about each song before it. And maybe it will be, who knows. It seems like the DVD format would have so much to offer an album like Scarlet's Walk, and so far, that opportunity has been squandered. grr. -bethany _______________________________________________________________ a journal : http://hejira.u-town.com "Well it's times like these I feel so small and wild Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child And i'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill Singin these blues with a warble and a trill But i'm not too blue to fly."

ICSNY definitely has a coherent melody that it follows and returns to and just because it's long doesn't make it an epic. there's no one line for me, but when she sings "i know his lips are warm" and all but the bose drop out, it makes me want to cry. ("manhattan" means "hunting ground", right?) i also really like "taxi ride", especially when she sings "i'm dowwwwn toooo your last cigarette and...." i know the rest of the words, yes, but what i love about tori songs is not just her words, but the way she fits them into the music. on this album, actually, i still don't know a lot of the words; i have a great time just listening to the cadences of her pianos and voice. beth mentioned "carbon". i really like carbon as well, i've discovered, and i'm sad that she didn't play it at either of the shows i saw, when she played "Crazy" (which i hate) twice. "gold dust" is pretty schmaltzy, but in that way that you have to admit that you like it. (if you is me, anyway). aight, yo. arija check out El-P, Fantastic Damage. good shit. -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2003 09:39:51 -0800 From: Beth Winegarner <echoes@atlantic.devin.com> To: RDT Right Now <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Subject: red hot chili dreams Jake wrote: > p.s. Dreaming while sleeping... does anyone believe that dreams can > predict the future? You told us about the dreams you had and you're asuing *us* whether dreams can predict the future?! :) Even without reading on I'd have said "yes," but if you've proven it to yourself, there's no need for outside validation! I tend to have dreams which, in retrospect, appear to point to certain events but do not always represent them literally. I used to also be able to dream of strangers and then meet them later, but that hasn't happened to me in a while. I'd be curious to hear about other people's precognitive dreams, though. Dani mentioned the Red Hot Chili Peppers as someone she overplayed in the past few years and isn't into at the moment. That's interesting, because recently I've been rediscovering my love of them. Just before Christmas I realized with horror that I didn't own two of my favorite albums of theirs, "Uplift Mofo Party Plan" (a plan based on a band, a band based on a plan...) and "Mother's Milk." I've been listening to them lately, jarring my memories of them. I also got their brand-new album, "By the Way," which is very different but I'm enjoying it a lot. John Frusciante especially sparkles on this album. There's a lot of really gorgeous music on it. And, half the time I'm just so glad they're not dead of overdoses that listening to their music makes me happy. I also thought "Californication" was fantastic. I've got a much longer discussion of the RHCP here, but won't bore you all by reposting it: http://www.livejournal.com/talkpost.bml?journal=anthologie&itemid=218774 Good news for Apocalyptica fans! There's a new album coming out next month! I wish I was in Germany - so I could see their tour. :( Beth -- "This country has a deep fear and mistrust of strong, smart, accomplished, outspoken women unless they are sexy 22-year-olds killing vampires on television." -- Dennis Miller _._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._ music reviews + stories + poetry + photography + collage + Watchers livejournal + selkies + esoterica + links = http://echoes.devin.com -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2003 13:43:23 -0800 (PST) From: Succubus Megan <Abulia@imaterrorist.com> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: deus ex machina Hola mes amies! I have so little time left before I return to college and I couldn't order my books online and I haven't did my hair yet and I have 2 inch roots which are godawful bad and my shoes have holes and I'm not packed and I wanted to hang out with my friends on the last day at Dave and Busters but that's not possible now and the entire world is against me. Dammit. ...So. How are all of you? At the moment I'm putting off the inevitable by going on the internet and messing around. Here is a link for your enjoyment! http://www.eden-designs.com/del/doll/index.html It's one of the best online paper dolls site I've ever seen. Plus, it features Delirium, which kicks almightly ass. :-) I got the HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy the other day. Has anyone on here read it? By Phillip Pullman? Is he not wonderful? And damned to hell? But that's okay because I doubt he believes in it and it's a wonderful series and you all should read it. Wonderful. Utterly and completely. ...I'm off to gather up my laundry and on Saturday, I'm back to the dorm! Dear lord... I'm nervous for some reason now. This vacation was wonderful. I'm gonna miss my friends so bad... *sob* I didn't even get to SEE Laura or Kathy or Leanne and I still have their presents! And I didn't see Heather either, though she seems to have written me off as a friend and demoted me to aquaintance. Sigh. Oh well. I played DDR yesterday and had sore muscles for the rest of the night. Today I had three mini pieces of fish. Tomorrow I plan on panicking. And may God, whoever the heck He is, prove himself to be a really nice guy. How Now, Brown Cow?

West Coast Beth asked: >>I was wondering, this morning, whether people have a favorite song (or favorite songs) on the album, and if so, what are they, and why?<< This is hard only because each song says something different to me and I enjoy each one. But I was listening today and the two that I hit replay on the most have been "Mrs. Jesus" and "Scarlet's Walk". With "MJ", I love the whole story in a story, unwrapping the layers to find John and Paul (and the Mary of it all). I get hooked from "Life Lines and Suicide Crimes" all the way to the sad, lonely end (empty arms at the morning star). Scarlet's Walk (the song) is just fucking amazing! The harmony is disharmonious in the very best ways and the lyrics are so in your face yet obscure at the same time. I just see the Statue of Liberty sobbing as the huddled masses huddle tighter in fear of the "new Sheriff". What will we do with our freedom now? What we will do to the "stowaways" in this land of dissolving freedoms? And Violet: How do you get yourself such a mention??? Tori must love you if she takes her walk through you. Maybe she just really appreciates the wonderful way you run our community here. (I'm such a suck up, eh?) I'm off (but you all already knew that). Fairy Blessings, Bethey I'm OK when Everything's not OK cause it's the Fairies Revenge they say And I have always been a Fairy. www.bethcoulter.com -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 22:36:04 +1100 From: Brian Cooper <byteme@smartchat.net.au> To: Really Deep Thrusts Right Now <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Subject: Ouch I took the day off work today to repair one of my TV antennas. I had all the bits and the motivation came about a month ago when a TV antenna installation company left a fridge magnet on my letterbox, as they could plainly see it was falling apart. The main antenna started disintegrating a few years back, when one of the collectors fell off. It's made a wonderful paint stirrer ever since. Another collector has been falling off for at least a couple of years and in the last six months, one of the reflectors has been flapping in the breeze and banging on the mast in high winds. It's not nice having a percussion track playing when you're trying to sleep. Basically, my reception has been getting progressively worse for years. Anyway, I wired up the small UHF antenna for regional TV with wonderful new military grade coaxial cable and was about to attach the new VHF one for Sydney TV when I found the mounting bracket was too short and it was too late in the day to buy another. To add insult to injury, or injury to insult in this case, when I was connecting up what I had, it started raining. Once I'd finished with the screwdriver, I turned and slipped, bouncing down the tiles on my arse towards the gutter. I knew I shouldn't have been up there in the rain but I was nearly done for the day. Even though the roof only has a 30 degree pitch, I kept sliding and grabbed one of the guy ropes to the mast and held on while the rest of me kept going until I reached arm's length. While the job's only half done, at least I've got perfect reception of regional TV, thanks to the new co-ax. It almost makes me wish I'd paid someone else to do it, but the experiences I've had over the last couple of years from "professionals" makes me want to do the job myself. It's so hard to find good help these days, no matter how much you pay. On with the reptiles... The uninfected with the Klez worm, Roxanne wrote in #1774: >However there is an individual on another mailing list I'm on that is >infected with the thing. Supposedly, he's tried "everything" to get rid of it, Having mentioned the same thing recently and I've come across someone before who was sending it to me that swore she'd cleaned it up previously, I've come to the conclusion that they're either using Windows ME or XP, which has the restore feature as default. The first time I'd ever come across a virus on ME, the only way to completely remove it was to turn off the system restore function, then remove the virus, otherwise it would continue to re-infect the computer, which is something all the antivirus websites tell you to do. I admit system restore one of the first features I turn off, as it just wastes disc space and I keep backups, though they're usually out of date. Violet wrote: >I couldn't get past the "Huge new Bush" part. > >Yes, I am 12 years old. It could be worse, his name could be Dick. You wouldn't even need to be 12 to get a laugh out of that. As for calling your inner child "retarded" being politically incorrect, the only thing that is retarded about that is the fact you have to think about it. Political correctness is wrong when you can't use labels on yourself. While I agree with being PC to a certain degree, I can't help but feel the correctness has gone way too far. Barking squirrels... the first time I heard them do that I had no idea what to make of it. It seemed so unsquirrel like. Rocky never did that. >*** Hi, My Name Is Barbie And I'll Be Your Brain Surgeon Today digest I'm having horrible flashbacks of the movie Days Of Thunder which featured Nicole Kidman as a neurosurgeon. Beth wrote about favourite songs on SW in #1775: >For a long time, for me, it was "Gold Dust," which is still incredibly >moving to me. As much as I admit I don't get into the album, Gold Dust, along with Crazy, Your Cloud and Taxi Ride are the songs that do it for me. On Concrete Blonde: >I only liked their album "Bloodletting." (I've only heard it and "Mexican >Moon," and the latter bored me. But my tastes are different now; perhaps I >should give it another try). What's it like? Way back when I first described the album about 6 months ago, I said it fit in between their first two albums, True and Free, much in the same way Scarlet's Walk fits in between LE and UTP. I dearly love the Blonde's first two albums, then felt they went downhill from there. While I liked Bloodletting to a degree, I felt it was too commercial. Mexican Moon bored the life out of me as well. I'd suggest giving their first two albums a try first. Go for The Eminem Show as well if you already like the singles. There's just too many great songs on the album. I heard a rock Mix of Cleaning Out My Closet yesterday that held up remarkably well. Jessica declared: >Brian Cooper is gonna marry me, he just doesn't know it yet. You'll have to wait in line, which is something you didn't know until now. While there isn't anyone on the horizon, it would upset a few others if you were to jump the queue. >For my new year's resolution i want to get laid, go skinny-dipping and I >gave up chocolate. this is going okay but trust me, i get cravings out the >ass. oooh, chocolate dripping out the ass.....*drools* If you're fantasizing about chocolate dripping out the ass, then you should probably not give it up. If you like we could try the first two resolutions plus the chocolate fantasy all at once, though I don't think it's particularly going to work. Jessica again: >So I went to a College Republican meeting tonight and we were talking >about Roe v Wade day on Jan 22nd. God, get this: on sunday we are making >3500 crosses to lie on the grass on the 22nd. these 3500 crosses will >represent the 3500 abortions performed every day in the US. Given that Republican policy is generally anti-abortion, how do *you* feel about it, considering your "longing" to be promiscuous? The two are seemingly at odds with each other. Jake wrote: >Dreaming while sleeping... does anyone believe that dreams can >predict the future? I've had a few in the past that had a certain prescient feel about them in the past and what set them apart from regular dreams is that they immediately stood out. As for dreams of world peace this year, I fear that's all it will be. My prediction is the bombing of Iraq will start February 15, give or take a day. My guess was right to the hour with Gulf War I.

L. Cool J., Ludacris, Outkast, etc. I like some rap music. I like the artists I listed and a few others' rap music. The rap music that I don't like is Dr. Dre, P. Diddy, Trina, Ja Rule, Cash Money Millionaires, Li'l Zane. The rap music I hate is Eminem. I just have different opinions about different rap artists and their music. I think that some rap songs are brilliant...I think some rap songs are really badly done, I think some rap songs are disgustingly mean or shallow. I just have different opinions...I don't know how I can explain that better... The reason I hate Eminem is because he has such homophobic lyrics. And the way he talks on TV about his music. He acts like he's aloud to say that he's not homophobic and that write lyrics that ARE. He's not playing a character! He's being himself and he knows it. He's just being stupid. Julie H.

I mean, that was one of my best years...strange. Anyways, a few days ago I had this TERRIBLY HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE. I realize and am thankful for how grateful and fortunate I am to have a great family, some friend, health, etc. And I often think about how horrible it would be not to have those things. So I had this nightmare that my parents got a divorce and got remarried to other people and that there was cheating going on before, etc. I almost puked all over myself to repeated this story and thinking about it. I was really messed up...I just wanted to die in my nightmare. I didn't have that nightmare again for a few days to this day. Last night I noticed that my stomach has never been bigger than it is right now. I have this problem where everything on my body is in good shape EXCEPT for my stomach. My stomach is basically fat. I have a horrible looking gut (it looks like a beer belly) (sorry for the gross details). Anyways, I say I'm gonna do something about it but I never do. Sometimes I attempt by going on the treadmill and doing situps once in a while saying I'll always do it, but it never happens. So finally, I think this is it...I think I am going to finally take control and cut down some of the foods I eat, stop sitting so damn much, and go on the treadmill 3 times a week and do situps everyday. I cut out some articles on good exercise for the stomach. Wish me luck...I hope I can this. It sucks because the brownies and doughnuts at school are so damn good! I'm gonna try to give them up though. Julie H. E-mail & MSN IM: JulieH214@hotmail.com MTV Member: JulieH214 AOL IM: JulieH0214 Yahoo!
