A friend of my uncle's was one of the producers on the last
cranberries album...Apparantly it was one of the singlemost
depressing things he's ever done. Dolores is Queen Bitch and then
some, and the blokes were really embarrassed with her.

I heard a couple of the tracks and I think the trauma has caused me
to mentally block the exact lyrics themselves from my mind. But
wasn't there something along the lines of:
"What is it that you're trying to do? There's a war in Ireland.
And Sarajevo too."?

Is that the new(est) album, "Bury the Hatchet"?
OK, the lyrics
are a tad weak, and I'm not the least bit surprised that Dolores is
a "Queen Bitch", but she is sorta cute and I bet she looks really
good in Four Dimensional armor.
Yes, I have to let it linger...

I also had a friend who had to work with The Cranberries. She said
Delores was a complete egomaniac, and seemed to think she was a
Great Artist going to save the world. (Saved at the expense,
ironically, of everyone around her.)
Damn shame. Is this some kind of Sinead O'Connor syndrome? Irish
female singer slowly slides from "quite talented" to "completely
insane"?
(Ducking to avoid rocks thrown from Sinead fans...)

CS, if we can't talk shite on The Nexus, where can we?
Regarding egomaniacal limelight-seeking Irish harridans, I think
it's something to do with having a crappy, neglected/abused
childhood. Do you remember when Diana did that interview and all the
papers were full of Borderline Personality Disorder? Inability to
maintain a stable relationship, emotional emptiness, manipulative
'game-playing', determination to occupy the 'victim' role...
It was definitely true of Diana and I think Sinead and Dolores
may be the same.

Ha that's interesting.
Ganesha, let's take this somewhat
further!
Perhaps a certain amount of psychological instability is
a basic requirement to succeed in modern day entertainment.
Makes
the folks in the limelight all the easier to control for the true
powers.
Originally I developed this idea by watching Germanys own
MTV-clone VIVA

I think that's true to a certain extent, Geist, but in some cases
(Madonna springs to mind) the fucked-up entertainer seems, in the
process of their music career or whatever, to work things through
and emerge a more stable individual. Either that or they spiral
self-destructively in an endlessly entertaining fashion. It's what
we pay them for, after all.

I saw Blech on the Warp site: http://www.warp-net.com/
but i wasn't really quite sure what it was because when i clicked
on it, my comp was suddenly shot to hell.
<minor complaint mode>
All these wonderful bands are
playing big shows for NYE. Bjork- Iceland, Orbital-Liverpool(?)
Chem. Bros- i forgot. Bowie- elsewhere, i forgot as well. nyc= dry

The Blech area at warpnet isn't the same Blech that I mentioned
earlier. Blech was/is a mix album, released by Warp in late 96. A
collection of Warp Classics mixed by the mighty PC and Strictly Kev
(of DJ Food fame), Blech is definitely one of Warp's best albums.
Buy it.
The Blech stuff at Warpnet, contains some music to listen to
while you compose boring posts like this one.
Stop reading this post and go and get it.

Although this is pretty much "off topic", I should probably tell you
that a close friend of mine is working with Chris Morris on his new
series: "Blue Jam" (taken from Morris's radio show of the same
name). Music will be supplied courtesy of Richard James (the Aphex
Twin), and it should be very funny. Nigel also tells me that Morris
is definitely recording an album with Boards of Canada (it's not
just a rumour) that should be released on Warp sometime next year.
Oh yeah, to get back on topic, I'm also listening to Autechre's
"Inculabula" and the odd bit of Nick Drake.

L!NW! - having read a few of your posts, you seem v. familiar. I
know a bunch of people going to that NYE bash opposite the
millenniumdome (might have gone myself, other comittments
y'unnerstand). You listen to all that left field Warp-ed electronica
like a number of pals I have in Sussex (Brighton) and London. I too
know people (at Hackenbacker) who've worked on Chris Morris' new
show. And obviously you read comics. Are you and my friends simply
the human equivalent of the recurring backgrounds in a Scooby-Doo
cartoon? Spill the shit, bitch.

'incunabula' -- great album, fucker to type though. haven't heard it
in donkeys. there was a couple of other cool ambient type things
around at that time -- higher intelligence agency's 1st one (forget
the name) and one by a positive life. they used to get pretty heavy
rotation back in 93-94.
i still can't stop playing the death in vegas album, although
yesterday i pulled out the regular fries one for a change. i was
reminded of it when i heard it playiing in a branch of cafe nero!

Alright Rob - assuming that it is Rob. You must be bored. I was
wondering when someone I knew would show up here. Dan never seems to
show, but that's probably because he's got a life. I, however,
haven't. How long have you been hanging around here? And are you
going to come down to Sussex this Xmas?
Oh yeah, I've spoken to
Becky, not that you really know her that well, but she seems up for
dumping her lame ass boyfriend in London and hot footing it down to
Brighton 'round March(ish). I'm still up for going down there,
especially now that the numbers are bulking up a bit. Superb.
I'm now going off to another thread in order to get in some good
quality beard stroking.
Long incestuous post is now over.

Well now you have me at a disadvantage 'cos you've pinned me down
but I'm still not sure who you are. I'm reckoning you're a Stewart
(Stuart?), because the only other person I can think of is my
manservant Banks, and I don't let him near the computer.
Or maybe Loz.
About a fortnight, and probably not as I've got to work almost
immediately afterwards. But I will definitely make a trip at start
of Jan. Interesting you should mention Dan on a topicpagething
ostensibly about Orbital, as he made off with my copy of Middle of
Nowhere just before the Pilton festival, and has had my brown album
for nearing three years now. Fuck him and his life.

Realy all I was saying was that I'm going to miss the exchanges
between the two - screaming and threatening each other, neither
backing down, raising argument and rhetoric to a study in psychic
warfare. I think Helga is definitely going to die and Sir Miles is
going to do it. KM won't die like we all thought because GM is too
worried about writing a bad karmic script for himself, but sacrifice
is going to be required for both dramatic purposes and Miles'
ritual. She'll have the last laugh with a bit of simple sympathetic
voodoo (hence the lock of hair) but Miles won't let her live, even
if he is kind of working for the home team now.
Although she stimulates vague feelings of lust, she's not a very
likeable character (too clever by half) and her end will be
fittingly gruesome in a Promethean kinda way.
In my wilder moments I think that Miles might even be her father
(metaphorically he almost is - avatar of the age of Horus, one to
whom knowledge untempered by morality is all - and if you look back
at the things she's said or had said about her from her very first
appearance you'll notice that constant references are made to her
family. Metaphorically this might just refer to her post-Nuclear
(Azathoth:idiot) state of mentation, but hopfully it'll mean
something much more cheesey and the last episode will end with a
grand soap-opera reunion.
I love you too, Dad! etc
