WILDE: I have nothing to declare but my genius!

CUSTOMS INSPECTOR: This genius you speak of… is it the evil sort that tyrannical dictators possess?

WILDE (amused): The only difference between saints and sinners is that every saint has a past while every sinner has a future.

CUSTOMS INSPECTOR: Imprisonment with hard labour for you, Mr Smartass. Take ’im away, boys!

WILDE: Ugh… not again.

You seem to use view me as the archvillain behind all that you hate about ILE (sarcasm, points scoring etc.) It puzzles me a bit, but I know you're a blustery chap and rudeness is part of your charm so.. my insensitivity holds up.

From ILM

Hi, I'm Alex in NYC...and YOU'RE WRONG, YOU FATUOUS CHEESE-MONKEY! I enjoy: KILLING JOKE, fondue, beer and arguments. I suffer from: benign positional vertigo, tinnitus, heart-burn and several food allergies. I work in the significantly less-than-lucrative field of journalism and will be a father in about three months time. My favorite films, if you were to ask me right now, are "Blow-Up" and "After Hours". Despite being 36, only just today (1/23/04) did I acquire a learner's permit to drive a car. I love the taste of mozzarella cheese with tomato and basil (caprese) but abjectly loathe ham and salmon. I think people who recline their seat back on airplanes without first asking for the consent of the passenger seated behind them should be shot in the kneecaps with a sawed-off shotgun at point blank range. I think there's a special place in Hell for the guy who invented the car alarm, and I think people need to learn to be a bit more considerate with umbrellas and cell phones.

I heard Bowie's "Heroes" yesterday and it occured to me that I've never figured out what it's about. I know about Bowie's Berlin period and his inspirations for the song, but I can't pin down my "take" on it. Is it a song about hope? Are acts of "heroism" the most noble of actions, or are they just needlessly reckless??

Any other such songs?

This has absolutely nothing to do with race, and that's why I am pissed off in the start, because through mainly sticking to "black" musical styles (while
white audiences have embraced "black" styles ever since jazz was incorporated into American popular music in the 20s), African Audiences continue to
build on a race stigma that shouldn't exist at all.

In the 60s, the boundaries were about to be torn down between "black" and "white" music. The Beatles mixed raw R&B elements (I don't deny them
being heavily influenced by R&B and rock'n'roll) with somewhat more "European" melodic and harmonic stuff than even white rock'n'rollers would do
in the 50s. On the other side, there were the Motown acts who, while preserving their gospel influenced vocal style, and the "ecstatic" was of singing, at
the same time took more time to care about the tunes. While the twee psychedelic concept album never was picked up by Motown (which is why
Motown were terribly old-fashioned from 1967 until "What's Going On" redefined their style), Motown were very much in the forefront in 1963-66
when it came to tearing down those stupid boundaries.

While Motown and The Beatles, from two different backgrounds, both helped blur these boundaries, Phil Spector also did, through a "white"
songwriting style and use of strings/influenced from classical music, combined with the same gospel influenced singers (most of them black), again
creating a perfect combination here.

Because I do think it is a good idea to get rid of all kinds of purism. Even I like my music with a rhythm section. I do prefer The Beatles or Genesis
more than I like Bach or Mozart. But I also do prefer to have the melodies there, because, really, I consider melody the most beautiful invention
Mankind has ever come up with, and I see no reason why melody should be buried just because it happened to be developed by the same people who
did a lot of really bad things towards Africans in the 18th and 19th century.

Melodies deserves to live forever, in all music, not just in ancient classical European music from previous decades. This most of all means that it should
live in popular music, in its traditional European form. And then, other "black" elements might be added, such as a rhythm section and sometimes a
somewhat more emotional vocal style, because as long as the melody and its harmonies are being kept, the music isn't harmed by those elements ever.

I simply want black and white people to make the same kind of music, and that music should be a 50/50 compromise between "black" and "white"
music styles, which is exactly what both The Beatles and Motown were.

Mixing politics into this is completely sick because this has nothing to do with politics. Music isn't politics. Music is music, and it is nothing but music and
should be nothing else than music.
And I do realise that this "absolute music" idea is a European one, developed by German composers in the 19th century, but it is still a bloody good
one, that music should work in itself, and shouldn't be mixed by politics, or with anything else for that matter. (For that exact same reason, I also tend to
ignore the quality of the lyrics as long as the melody works).

have you seen "elephant" yet? that's what happens when you "ignore" people.

-- Marcello Carlin (marcellocarli...), February 4th, 2004.

maybe that's because Philly gets blanketed in with disco so often? there's also the fact that Philadelphia International (and Sony, who owns them) are less profligate compilers than Motown, who are historically shameless, and the funk/NS/disco brigade, whom ditto (plus the rights are easier to come by in those cases).
How many number one hits did Motown have?
How many number one hits did Philly have?

1. From a practical perspective, there's no money in it.
2. Popular music is probably the most subjective and unintellectual of all artforms, and is therefore immune to any kind of rigorous discourse. A song can be great/elegiac/sad/etc. purely on the basis that you heard it first when you were 15 years old. How do you argue with that?
3. What useful things are there to say about music that can't be said in a few lines in a music forum?
4. Most of the music I love, I have no real desire to read about. I have a desire to read about the lives of the people who created it perhaps, or the circumstances in which it was made. But no desire to read musical criticism.

And I was right - take that club I played the other day, load of fucking pretty boys, they think because they've got the flash clothes and the best pills and the shiny Tiga 7-inch under one arm that they've made it. That's not what it's about, it's about blood and sweat and the stench of male bonding in a dirty warehouse. Roy Keane knows that, so do Jeff and Derrick and Richie. The rest of them, load of bluffers. You can't trust 'em.

it was the night before the holland game in landsdowne, i sneaked into quinny and phil babbs room and caught them dressed up as women listening to fischerspooner. fischerspooner! fucking fischerspooner. did they think jimmy hasselbaink or edgar davids were listening to fischerspooner, were they fuck! I phoned the gaffer and he agreed I should have been djing for all of us. But this was typical of Mick McCarthy, even as captain of Ireland he used to say you can't win matches without listening to depeche mode first. It was a joke. the next day we went out and mcateer scored to give us a one nil win, I flew home straight after, leaving the "boys in green" to their bloody cajagoogoo.

Here's a snippet from the BBC Radio 6 thingy:
Paul Morley: Tell me something, do you think Nick is ever jealous or surprised that he isn't a success like the Pet Shop Boys or Divine Comedy?
Eddi Fiegel: Well, I think there's definitely a Pet Shop Boys comparison with that track and I think the Divine Comedy certainly have lifted and borrowed a lot of the literary allusions and style of his performing, so yes, I think he probably is quite...
Paul: Is he seething somewhere in the middle distance?
Eddi: I think he may be seething deeply in Tokyo as we speak, actually. To his credit he's carried on, he hasn't seethed to the extent that he's got himself into an even darker corner than he ever was before and has stopped working. He's still turning out these albums, which is to his credit...
Paul: That's interesting, because one of his heroes, one of his mentors if you like, Howard Devoto, went into a kind of Rimbaud silence faced with the fact that no-one was interested in him showing off his references, but Nick, Momus, does keep going, doesn't he. Is he too clever for his own good, do you think?... You never know, a not-clever, not-ironic Momus may well put him where he wants to.. where he should be, really.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Colin Farrell was recovering from a foot injury after he slipped and fell on the stairway of his Bangkok hotel over the weekend, his publicist said Monday. The 27-year-old actor is in Thailand filming the epic Alexander.
Farrell was fitted with a cast and released from a hospital, publicist Susan Patricola said. He went back to the set Monday and filming for the movie was expected to wrap up in two days, she said.
Farrell stars as the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great in the film, along with Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins and Jared Leto.
