Ok first of all. Are we not in agreement that THOSL was a precursor if not a
direct influence on The Ice Storm, American Beauty and all these angsty
movies about rich whites who have lost their spark from manicured lawns,
Honeywell security systems, and safe employment. Also I feel that this album
is perfect for a movie. Though so much of her music if filmic. I also think
that in the song HOSL, that little interlude with her scatting and the muted
trumpet symbolizes either an ad on tv or the News at 12:00.
I've heard that she was going to include grass chants on Paprika Plains and I
think she should have gone for it. It would further lend itself to the
world-beat theme of the album.
Ive heard that she released a video collection called Come In From The Cold.
It had a video of Beat of Black Wings. Was this an actual video or just a
live performance. Does anyone have information on this.
I really think that Paprika Plains would have made a great short film.
More to come later.
