Bjork is eccentric, to say the least, but if there is a true genius out there, it's her. Her stuff is as original as it gets - - no "same old, same old" from Bjork, that's for sure. I was glad to see your post, as I had just finished listening to Venus As A Boy.

Kazaa has spyware. I like WinMX, but it ain't napster.

I SO miss Napster. Format-wise, MinMX is as close as it get (but it's incredibly SLOWWWW)

I've heard the spyware thing about Kazaa, what exactly is it and what does it do?

"After seeing her [Jett] association with NOW, I have to also wonder if she did USO to get noticed in-any-way possible and have something recent to add to the resume!"

Exactly what I think...

Liberal has-been Jett Joan at best was a mediocre and pseudo-female Joey Ramone. If her career had been anywhere at this point, a gig in Afghanistan would be the last venue she'd be playing at.

Joan has always made her hometown of Rockville, MD proud.

I always heard Joan was from the Main Line in Philly.

Maybe she left and didn't (Go Back To) Rockville... and waste another year. :-)

Can I guess that you listen to 'XPN?
I'm in my car most of the day and I am usually tuned to 'XPN. David Dye has been doing some incredible interviews lately.

Other than that it's 610 for a little sports. I really only need two buttons and a CD player and I'm good.

Regards,
LH

KazaaLite is not supposed to have spyware. I don't get the popups like I do with regular Kazaa. And whoever can use WinMX can have it!! I never liked it personally.

Spyware is used by advertising companies. When you use sharewear, sometimes in addition to having pop ups and banners all over the place, it can leave spyware in your system. Basically, advertising companies also install tracking software on your system, which reports back to them.

And you're right, WinMX is dead slow, even with a high speed connection. At least with Napster, if you had DSL or cable, and you were dloading from somone with the same connection, it would move pretty fast. Not with WinMX.

Someone in Country recorded one of Maria's songs. So maybe she got some residuals. Or whatever the music business calls it.

THat was a good first album. But I never listen to any of that music any longer.

Is "nature-boy" Stipe also from "nature-girl" Jett's hometown of Rockville?

I stand corrected. Here's what I found on the web.

Jett was born in Philadelphia, PA; her family moved to Los Angeles when she was 12 years old. By the time she was 15, she had formed her first band and was performing around town. Kim Fowley, a Los Angeles record producer, discovered the band at one of their gigs and became their manager; soon, he renamed the all-female group the Runaways and secured them a contract with Mercury Records. The band released three albums that never had much commercial success in America, yet were very popular in Japan; the group were popular in both the Los Angeles hard-rock and punk scenes, which led to Jett's production of the Germs' first record, G.I. The Runaways group broke up in 1980 and Jett moved to New York to begin a solo career.

However in there she must have been in Rockville because she went to Richard Montgomery HS, a friend of mine was her history teacher and I have heard her interviewed and she spoke about being here. I doubt that she had a very typical childhood.

You're Sh**ing me aren't you?!?!?

BTW When I was first going out with the wife I mentioned I'd seem PF at Carter Finley in N. Carolina and she replied she'd seen them at the Fillmore...

After a minute of pondering it sank in...

Whoa... You saw them with Syd...

Could these guys make it today?

Floyd would be dead in the water with the three-minute-attention-span generation. Thank God this idiotic generation can't take the great ones away from us.

Let 'em have their MTV. We've got Floyd. We win.

So you're saying that Shakira and Britney rock?!?!

no...I'm saying that no one I know or can imagine would say that... "I don't think anyone calls pop tart barbie dolls or one in tight pants and a spiky bracelet someone who "rocks." "

I don't know of anyone who says "I'm going to a rock concert" when they have Britney tickets.

Then again...I've never been to a britney concert. She might open up with "HELLO DETROIT!!! ARE YOU READ TO ROCK!?!?!"
