I thought TBK was well promoted (at least in my area). I saw magazine and newspaper ads for the album, commercials for the Summer of Sin Tour; ads for the book were everwhere, and our local adult alternative station, KBCO, plays her music regularly, and on every tour she's a guest in their Studio C. So she doesn't dominate the video world, big deal. Nobody can have it all. I don't much care if she makes videos or not, because I'm not at all a fan of either MTV or VH1, and I don't watch either one. Considering she tours heavily and sells out nearly all of her shows; I'd say she's doing pretty well. She makes her money by touring and merchandise sales. Sony gets nearly all of the profit from album sales--that's true with every record company and every artist. She's doing what she thinks she needs to do to be sucessful, and she is sucessful. How could anybody doubt that? Seven years ago, nobody I knew, knew who she was, now I hardly ever run across someone who hasn't at least heard some of her songs on the radio. Does it get any better than that?

As an artist very much in control of her sound, it is a credit to her production skills that she has created a pop-leaning song while maintaining her alternative roots. The lighthearted nature of "Cars and Guitars" is conveyed with skipping drums, a touch of piano and chants of "cha ch ch cha," wrapped in a blithe melody. Since her lyrics always have layered meanings, no clear interpretation of the song is apparent: Lines like "If I choke boy you start me up again/Restring my wires y'know/This gear box can make the shift polish my rims" are full of possibilities. But the words do relay a sense of a relationship lost, adding some bitter to the music's sweetness. -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: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 07:54:42 -0500 (EST) From: "Lori Ann Near" <loria@walkunafraid.net> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: hello there Hello everyone. Some of you may know me, some may not. I decided to resubscribe after skipping through the archives and realising that I was no longer really subscribed because while my old email may still be receiving the digests, I can no longer access my old email. So here I am again. 2005 was a busy year. I was supposed to move to Costa Rica this year, and instead lost a love. It's tough being dumped right before you pick up everything for someone, and I am still spending time getting over it. Both my cats suffered a lot of health issues this past year, and I'm still dealing with that as well. Things are not all bad. Good things in brief: I went to New York City to see an old RDTRN'er who was gracious and opened his apartment for me to crash in. *cheers to the Wild one*. I saw Tori twice, both with good people. I enjoyed the shows. Am lukewarm on the Beekeeper. Decent stuff on it, but too much 'filler'. Too long. Went to Minneapolis and Chicago to see my second favourite band of all time, Idlewild, rip through two sets of blistering awesome songs. Hung out with the band, flirted with bass player. Inara George opened. She's brilliant, and you should check her out. She's the daughter of Little Feat guitarist Lowell George. Saw Margaret Cho in Indianapolis. Drank many delicious martinis, fabulous scotch and red wine. Turned 32. Found my first grey hair, but after a wee time of freaking out became really quite ok with it. How are you? ~loria~ 'say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play." say "contradiction only makes it harder." how can I be what I want to be? when all I want to do is strip away these stilled constraints and crush this charade shred this sad masquerade I dont need no persuading I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and walk unafraid I'll be clumsy instead hold my love me or leave me high. walk unafraid I'll be clumsy instead hold my love me or leave me high.' - JMS, R.E.M. 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?
