If I get it, great, if I don't, whatever. I was listening to the radio the other day, and apparently Mary is being pushed as a hot "new" single. My town's radio station (which has a pretty far-reaching signal and a lot of listeners) had it up for the "survivor of the day" against some other song-- every night, two songs are on the list, and people have to call in and vote for which one they want to hear. Mary lost by only a few votes, so I didn't get to hear it played on the radio, but it still got a ton of mentions throughout the evening show. Speaking of other hot "new" musical acts, Switchfoot (one of my favorite bands-- primarily because of their lyrics, since we just had that whole discussion) has come out with their third album, and their single is getting a good amount of radio time. Every time their song is introduced, it's something like, "This great *new* band is called Switchfoot....." They were previously listed under Christian rock, but they don't really mention religion much in their lyrics. If anyone saw one of the recent South Park episodes where Cartmen decided to form a Christian rock band, Switchfoot pretty much does the opposite of Cartman's band-- rather than changing lovesong lyrics to be directed at Jesus, Switchfoot has lyrics that are supposedly directed toward God, but could be interpreted as a song meant for another person. (I'm sitting here, knowing that there's a term for this literary technique, and yet I can't think of it. If someone else knows what it is, please tell me. I have no brain.) So I gave myself a 2nd degree burn the other day. It's healing pretty well, but still kinda nasty. Here's a picture of it, if you feel like being grossed out (ignore my little sign-- that was a joke for one of my friends) http://www.photobucket.com/albums/1103/lindagyne/f93a9ac8.jpg I'm talking about the burn partly as a warning, because I spilled tea on myself while watching The Next Joe Millionaire. My shirt was some sort of rayon/polyester blend, and I think that it may have worsened the outcome a lot. The tea had been boiled on top of the stove, and sat out for about 5 minutes before I even picked it up, so it's not like it was freshly-boiled water that created that type of damage. I think I'm blaming it on the shirt. So, the lessons for the day are: 1. Be careful about what type of fabrics you wear-- synthetic fabrics might melt under heat and lead to worse burning; 2. if you watch crappy shows like The Next Joe Millionaire, bad things will happen. I can prove #2 because the only other person that I know of who watches that show just had an apartment deal fall through after he already sold his apartment, leaving him temporarily homeless. Live, learn, love, and be careful with hot beverages... ~Linda __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

Due Nov. 25 from Epic, the collection features contemporary artists' renditions of songs from the early-1950s, in step with the film's 1953 setting. Seal's version of "Mona Lisa" opens the album, while Dion adds a run through the standard "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered." Amos contributes two remakes: "Murder, He Says" and "You Belong to Me." Other tracks include Kelly Rowland's version of "I'm Beginning To See the Light" and Krauss' rendition of "What'll I Do." The Trevor Horn Orchestra reinterprets a pair as well -- "Sh Boom" and "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)," popularized in recent years by They Might Be Giants. Starring Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Marcia Gay Harden, "Mona Lisa Smile" opens Dec. 19 in U.S. theaters. Here is the "Mona Lisa Smile" track list: "Mona Lisa," Seal "Murder, He Says," Tori Amos "You Belong To Me," Tori Amos "Secret Love," Mandy Moore "I've Got the World on a String," Lisa Stansfield "I'm Beginning To See the Light," Kelly Rowland "Santa Baby," Macy Gray "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," Celine Dion "Besame Mucho," Chris Isaak "What'll I Do," Alison Krauss "Smile," Barbra Streisand "Sh Boom," Trevor Horn Orchestra "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)," Trevor Horn Orchestra -- Barry A.

I was pretty happy when I first heard about it - I thought it'd be nice to have a lot of the older stuff in one release. The idea of Tori remaking things makes me a little bit nervous.<< The concept of Tori "Re-recording" he B-sides may have been a necessity... As the "Warner Group" may not be so willing to release the rights to all of the "Masters" for the original B-sides... Rather then pay them an EXORBITANT amount of money to use the music recorded by Warner for an "Epic" or "Sony" release... it may be more cost effective to just "Rework" the old songs.... Plus it would give a reason for old fans like me, that actually spent $100's to get all of the old import singles,... a "Reason" to buy the new record. Personally. As a Fan... I am disappointed that BOTH the Music Video DVD that was slated to come out.. (It was going to have the later videos from Venus and Back!!!!) and the Scarlett Sessions DVD was canceled... My beef is Majors NOT releasing "Music Video" compilations because they want to put all of their time and trouble in the new "Matrix" DVD.... Because they will make more money from that DVD... Yet the DVD's I want to buy remain just an Idea ... or a promotional item that will cost me an arm and a leg on E-bay... I don't want just TWO TRACKS on my bonus DVD for "Greatest Hits"... How about a BUNCH of music videos.. or the Extended "Scarlett Sessions"... (It was broadcast on the Trio network so I was able to at least enjoy some of it though I really want the REAL THING) Anyway... Only Tori really knows the reasons for all of the "Re-Worked" Recordings and Canceled DVD's.... I can only speculate and practice my typing skills ;) Peter 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-o *** Subliminal Day Off digest *** To POST messages to this list: <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Can't figure out how to SUB, UNSUB, or CHANGE ADDRESSES?
