[kj] lanterns

[sade1]

  Pet Shop Boys have a song called "New York City Boy," also one called "Being Boring." And for those vast treks / breathers thru the country, "Go West." And with little to no guitarwork, only funny cone-hats.

aRRR.. and what is wrong with that matey! har

alex, you may need to get out of the super charged city and grab a 
breather in the country.

may i offer this: 
perhaps in support of your "bored" evaluation. i reason - part of my 
attraction to lanterns may stem from the fact
that this sentimental 'harve' - spent most of 95-96 driving across 
great stretches of the never ending night-time landscape - after many 
a gig out of town, most normally 100's of miles from home yet still 
deep within the boundaries of a great land named texas. predictably, 
the soundtrack to those journeys was most often the new/most current 
album from my favorite band. so one may gather, those immensely 
arching open spaces and dense expanses of stars might aid one's soul 
in welcoming such sentiment as those lithely, or seemingly, 
listlessly, cast forth in lanterns,,, anyhow, for me, it 'worked'. 

as for indulgence in the other proposed ingredient of sentimental 
influence? yes, don't tell any stern, faultily "might is right", 
naively matter of fact & manufactured- psuedo-nurishment stuffed 
texas state troopers, but my temperment was often massaged with 
libations derived from nature's course.

again, harrrr aarrrr 

and oh yes, outer country texas can be interpreted as a bit boring, 
but more so if the body in which one lives, is uninterested in 
exploring the subtle yet rich rewards, of such a deceptively vacuous 
environ.



nothing meant by this evaluation brother ale X - other than - i guess 
it is just the long way of saying "you had to be there"...

however i can see how, while living in nyc, or most urban jungles, 
that said sentiment - has a tendency to yawnsomely scull on deaf 
hearts.

It's not the sentiment of "Lanterns" that bores me (that's 
right....BORES ME), it's the execution. Listless, lifeless, yawnsome.
