Re: (TV) The 100 Greatest Debut Albums

["edi, redux." <the_postmodern_closet@adelphia.net>]

	x-ray-spex.

	&, if one =must= mention the 80s [& clearly, from the lights 
of that list, one must], =certainly= the violent femmes record, for 
the virtuosic bass player's virtuosic bass playing, the same 
virtuosic bass player whose favorite guitar player was one tom 
verlaine.

	&, yeah, tom verlaine's records went out of print very very 
fast-- i dont know that "marquee moon" did, or ever, or when, but so 
many of the rest did.

	the ahistoricity of that list bothered, bothers me. it is 
like saying, well, nothing came before we began to think & now we 
have decided, for a while, what it is hip to think about. & since it 
is largely =my very own people= who are being nostalghiaized, spelled 
wrong, it bothers me even more-- i wonder what tom verlaine, who is 
so insular himself, would feel about a list that puts the modern 
lovers after the arctic monkeys, sorry to harp on the arctic monkeys 
so much, but they seem so silly to me, not evil but silly. i dont 
know, when or that similar stuff has been done w/ me, it has only 
made me want to hide more, which is what i am doing, um, presently. 
thanks.
