i don't know. despite the college degree, i'm not really qualified in much. i'm the world's worst salesperson. i don't have any special technical skills. i can't really design anything. i don't have any people skills. so that's where i am.

You would be an excellent teacher, Suzanne.

Do you drink beer, Suzanne? Haow can I explain you how much exciting you are?

Now you are correct: we would try to talk in english and this wouldn't work. So we would have to begin to write something to begin a (good) conversation.

I watched this funny episode. Why don't you begin now and say that you like and respect Morrissey as a human being?

I know you have lots of talents, Suzanne. You just have to find them.

Oh, both.

Me too. When I have a central heating.

they are genius and original as musicians and as singers; they started their own styles of music; they are the best in their styles.

We finally agree in something. When white men try to sing the blues, the whole thing is fake. And they know this, so they try to play technically very well, to hide their completely lack of the necessary "soul" to sing the blues...

Re: nobody shoots at santa claus

i don't respect anyone. especially not myself.

> You would be an excellent teacher, Suzanne.

oh god no. children don't like me a bit, and it's very easy for people to walk all over me. Plus, you've never heard me verbally try to explain anything.

"Um, this book here...when it gets to this certain section of the book..um, as you know there was this guy and there was this guy's mother, and when he gets to this part...oh, and his mother did such and such...and when they get to this part, he, not his mother, did this..."

I'm afraid my verbal skills are a jumbled mess compared to my writing ones.

> Heir Apparent? mmmmm... I think you are joking with me...

yes. Morrissey was an airplane pilot, and I'm his co-pilot. He lit up a bong and became too mellow to fly the plane so I had to step in.

> Do you drink beer, Suzanne? Haow can I explain you how much
> exciting you are?

yes, i just had some tonight, and i'm having my requisite glass of water to make sure i'm fully hydrated in the morning.

i'm not very exciting. i'm just sort of making up for the stuff i missed out on when i was growing up, hence my delayed adulthood. I don't think I would mind getting older as much had it not been for that.

> Now you are correct: we would try to talk in english and this

yes, be like beethoven and have a chalk board lying around.

i did. what happened to your attention span?

hey, but it looks like your dates are on, Fabricio. i expect you to breathe in every detail and report back.

enh. having talents and having things that people want are two totally different things.

> Oh, both.

> Me too. When I have a central heating.

well, at least you can control your thermostat. apparently, the building i'm in is so old that there is one thermostat for the entire apartment complex, and whoever runs it has an iron deficiency or hormone problems or something because it's a sauna when it's cold outside. i've never been in a building so hot in the winter.

i really don't know anything about what blues sounded like before robert johnson got a hold of it.

Blind lemon jefferson?

ha ha. yes, i went to see some crappy white boy blues band a month ago. wasn't my choice. some friend recommended it and the group went. first, it was a bad sign when the entire band was white. second, when the entire audience was white. third, the vast majority of them looking like they came from their high paying jobs to go enjoy the austin night life. fourth, when the band did nothing but covers of Jimi Hendrix. fifth, when they singer started saying, "OK...I want the bass to drop out....yeah, we're going to bring it home!...ok, I want the drums to drop out! yeah!! ok, we're going to get it going now!" sixth, when drunken obnoxious scuzzy old guy started trying to pick on me and befriend my group.

And this went on for over 3 hours. I went home and felt like shooting someone.

oh yes. there is no overblown vocal range like celine dion.

I think it's the only way I can make a conversation in english indeed.

It seems that my dates are on. Well, I don't believe it will happen anyway.

I have a friend who is journalist and I'll copy to you everything he wrote.

And I'll say that the author is me!

Here I must agree.

But please tell me more about your talents!

Oh, it must be exciting your apartment! Well, here it rains pratically without a pause since yesterday. And the bad thing is that I have to walk to go home and to go to my work. I hate walking in the rain. "Singing in the rain is a stupid movie" if you want my opinion.
> i really don't know anything about what blues sounded like

No, it's Blind Boy Fuller. I am really sorry I've never heard any of Blind Lemon Jefferson songs. I read something about him and it seems the kind of blues I would like.

Oh, I am sorry for your night!!!

You understand me very well. Sometimes some friends say that in some place will play a group that plays "this kind of music you like". So I ask if the member of the group were born in Curitiba. Normally they were. It's a good reason to me to explain to them that white men can't sing the blues!

> And this went on for over 3 hours. I went home and felt like

Oh, it must have been horrible...

I agree (again). Voice with no soul it's simply horrible.

Well, try Madredeus. I think I spoke about Teresa Salgueiro to you.

OK...I've read over this, and from what I gather, you think that living in a sauna of an apartment and having a couple of drinks every week or more is living the high life.

Hey, did you know that I also have trash cans in every room of my apartment? Aren't you just blown away?

Fabricio, you can't fool me. You just gave away your scheme.

> But please tell me more about your talents!

I'm one of the few people at work who actually uses the stairs instead of the elevator if they need to go up one floor.

I used to have a cool fang tooth I could bare at people, but that's gone.

Hey, and I just fixed my computer! I figured out what it was and it's stopped crashing.

> Oh, it must be exciting your apartment!

You think it's exciting that I can't control my thermostat? You live in a very interesting world...

Keeps you in shape! But, depends on how long a walk you've got.

Sounds like Scotland.

Hey, speaking of constant rain, have you read the book Angela's Ashes?

I've never heard any of his stuff either, so don't be too upset. Blues is not one of those music genres I can listen to for any length of time. It's sort of like surf rock or punk. I can take it in small doses before I get really tired.

> Oh, I am sorry for your night!!!

Ah, that's OK. I was just grouchy in general.

But this songs have lots of significances! I am astonished!

I think this song explains why he didn't go to Texas in this tour too.

Did you fixed it alone? This is a really great talent. When I try to fix mine you can be sure that the whole thing will be a disaster!

hehehehe. You live in a very exciting world!

> Keeps you in shape! But, depends on how long a walk you've got.

I have to walk during 15 minutes to go to work, then more 15 minutes to return to my home to lunch, and then more 15 minutes to work after lunch, then 20 minutes to school at evening, then 5 minute to return home. This is enough?

And I always use the elevator!

With punk rock to me and with most of the blues the thing is the same with me. But not with Robert Johnson or John Lee Hooker for sure.

> Ah, that's OK. I was just grouchy in general.

This makes you more charmante mon amie.

> heh. it must be worse. South American blues?!?!?

This is really amazing! There was a guy I knew that played some guitar when I knew him longtime ago. Last year I watched him at the local channel singing the blues with two other white guys... And with "blues" clothes, hats and so on. I have no words...

> Well, she's retired now. Sadly, she will still be a staple of

Oh yeah.

Anyway, there's a girl singer in Brazil that sang some portuguese versions of Celine's songs... and the strange thing is that it's not bad at all!!!

> Did you?

Well, I wrote sometimes about Madredeus here.

My daughter Teresa is called Teresa because of the Madredeus singer Teresa Salgueiro.

I saw Teresa Salgueiro in the São Paulo airport in 1995, when nobody really knew Madredeus in Brazil (I knew them because a show of theirs I recorded at TV - I watched the show every night!). I asked Teresa an autograph, and she wanted to know if I was portuguese, because they had no brazilian fans. I tremble just in remebering this day...

> Yeah...like Morrissey. Did you notice he sang Ouija board? Ha!

It's really probable.

Which action? Ouija Board?
 
Re: Morrissey is the product of a sick mind

> What????

I was just referring to what he said at the Akron show after "I can have both" where he said it meant he could have both strawberry and vanilla ice cream.

A while back, after having a discussion of what this song meant (around here) and someone saying Morrissey wasn't bi-sexual, but merely an opportunist for whoever happened to fit his bill that day, I said something like "if you don't mind mixing your vanilla with your chocolate then you are..."

Why's that?

> Living Your life is living the high life Suzanne.

No way, man. Yesterday, being Valentine's day and all, and after spending a few days all icky and in a state of indigestion, I bundled myself up in my robe and read while intermittently watching a bunch of American men who have given up, flying to Russia to pick up some desperate chicks in a mail order bride service.

Wait a minute...

It takes you 20 minutes to get there, and 5 to come back? Are you running? Are your students chasing you down the street after class?

> And I always use the elevator!

i use it more in the parking garage because homeless people and the random party freak on 6th street likes to take a pee in the stairwell.

> "The rain falls hard on a hundrum town..." This town

It's about this Irish guy back in the 1920's and his family growing up. Angela is his mother. Your typical story of drunken Irish dad who can't hold a job and drinks his dole money away and starves the kids...3 of them die...who also put up with a very staunch Catholic church.

Not to belittle the Irish in anyway, but if you set that same story in a small town with a bunch of Czech immigrants, nobody would give a damn. After all, there is no such thing as Bohemian wit.

As George Carlin once said, "White people are not supposed to sing the blues, they're supposed to give it."...after making fun of the likes of Bruce Willis for jumping up on stage with a harmonica at impromptu blues jams.

The songs aren't bad. That's one thing you can't really fault people like her on. The lyrics are a bit staid, but the melody is catchy in the right way that it does it's job. It goes directly to your brain and changes your brainwave patterns to fit that of the song. It torments you night and day. You hear it on the radio for the 50th time and you still can't turn it off.

And the funny thing is that when asked if he goes to internet Morrissey says no!

So, from where he knows you?

A kind of. I teach wooden and concrete structures at the profissionalizing course at the college. There are lots of equations, where I feel myself well.

I disagree. There's no relation among these songs.

Tell me your theory.

In fact he says what he'll feel when he'll return to Texas.

Oh, this is really interesting in fact. From my side, I am coming from São Paulo where I was in a course where people teached us to execute the new computer program that will simulate the electric brazilian system: the "Newave" program. Very interesting indeed.

Jazz? Well, i like some old stuff, like Miles Davis, Lester Young, Modern Jazz Quartet and Duke Ellington. But I hate some "cool" and "modern" jazz singers... They seem to be so "sophisticated" that they have any feelings.

And the strange thing is that the guy was a sort of "hippie" or "alternative" guy. I don't know what more I have to think about him, hehe.

Completely correct. And the worst thing yet is when people say that some white blues band is good just because they play "well". Any music isn't good just because the musicians play well.

I guess it's really what you do with the genre. If you borrow from it and acknowledge that it's an influence on your own music, that is one thing. We wouldn't have rock music without the blues. We'd all be out doing a country square dance today if it hadn't been for that, so feel lucky.

It doesn't matter in fact because Morrissey can feel you wherever he is.

Well, the electric brazilian system has a computer program called Newave - and I went to São Paulo to know how I can use it. But unfortunately they didn't permit to bring it to Curitiba...

In Curitiba there's a "country movement" where some stupid people mak groups to appreciate the "brazilian country music". You really never heard horrible songs like those. I think not even Björk is so horrible.

In theory that sounds very good, but what is the matter with walking? How about when you get too out of shape from not walking and your clothes don't fit and you feel tired, miserable, and achey all the time? If I go too long without it, I can get backaches or a stiff neck, so it's necessary to do it in my case.

> Don't you get uploading programs or understanding why people
> like me are simply stupid?

um, no, not that...i'm just saying that your basic home computer these days is very simply put together and anyone who sits down with the directions and reads them will do OK. I find that in most cases when people break things is because they put it together, can't figure out why it doesn't work, and THEN they pull the directions out of the box to look at them.

And I'll hate to tell you the biggest culprit for breaking things: the guys who suddenly become superman. "Step aside, little lady, I'll fix it!" out of some stupid need to prove he is a macho guy, and then they go and break the thing even more. I like it when anyone can admit that they can't fix something. It saves a lot of hassle, and I don't think any worse of them...heh, actually, I'll make more fun of them if they break it.

> Well, perhaps.

Oh, hmm.. like going out and doing something you've never done before? Or trying an old thing in a new location? Even reading a book in a park somewhere else across town livens up your senses a bit, I would imagine.

Yes, I've seen it about 6-8 times already. A friend of mine wanted to see it last night so I brought my copy over. It's not really frightening to me anymore, but it's fun to watch.

heh heh heh.

you know, all that music with square dancing in the south is nothing more than a bunch of traditional Irish and Scottish songs....I went to a Cealidh and felt like I was in 1st grade again as we did do-si-dos for Phys. Ed.

So, as you know, those songs exist in their current form for a reason. They may suck, but on the otherhand, you want to have part of your tradition there just so you don't melt completely into one fast food chain.

Oh you are completely right. It's really a shame when people wants to show themselves better than they really are.

I don't know if this was because of my education but I really feel myself completely different from most heterosexual men I know: I just don't want to prove anything to anybody. I just don't feel the need to show myself more "masculine" or more intelligent than anybody. I just want to go home and see my daughter and watch a Seinfeld episode I didn't watched before.

I really had a "castrated" education but when I went out of this I think I had a good quality to begin with.

Or I am a completely stupid, so I can't prove anything indeed...

> Oh, hmm.. like going out and doing something you've never done

Well, I really feel myself very well talking with people so far from me like you or Greasetea.

I like doing new things, but this way I lost myself a bit generally.

And you know there's a new Universe that opens in front of me each time I hear the same Robert Johnson songs...

Oh Suzanne you have a really good taste!

I watched it two times but I really want to see more. And you know I watch few films nowadays, but I think I have to have a copy of "The Blair Witch Project" at home!

> heh heh heh.

And the weirdest thing ever happened this evening: I watched by coincidence a program about this horrendous "brazilian country movement" when they showed a party of these stupid guys... do you guess the party was? In The Forum!!!...

... the place where Morrissey will play in Curitiba.

I think you are correct about the tradition: I was in Paranaguá (a city in the seaboard near Curitiba) and some local people starting to play and dance the "fandango", a local kind of music. I was really really moved by it.

And I have a friend of mine who went to Texas recently (and to Austin too!) and he promised he would lend me some country music cds from Texas: I am sure I'll like it... they'll have certainly all the correct "atmosphere" to be appreciated...

My problem with some songs in Brazil that they have no tradition at all in them: they simply suck. It's just like a white man playing the blues.

It's more than this in fact.

I simply can't hide things from her... because she has some... supernatural powers...

No, but seriously folks, I have allergies. Everything is pollenating all at once around here and that's why i'm all messed up. Unless he had a nosebleed a few days ago, there is no connection between the two of us.

Isn't it good? See, there are somethings that even the Carmelites can't account for.

So, I guess they don't really believe much in the idea of God using people as his workers to carry out his plan.

And that's a good thing. From what I can see, that is a very intelligent way to live. Hand things over to people who know what they are doing if you don't want to cause more damage than what is possible.

All in one song? I can't remember the last time I discovered anything that did that.

I try.

Actually, I really didn't mean to see that film at all. I hate to sound like a snob, but I really didn't feel like being suckered into another Indie film trend. It wasn't until my friend and I got the dates for another film opening wrong that we ended up with that instead. Then, I was surprised.

You always have to keep your ears open. People like Johnny Marr listened to all sorts of music and that is why you get such a variety on everything he makes.

Enh...well, believe it or not, Austin is mostly a white boys blues hangout. I don't think there is much country western music around here. Not that I miss it...

But you see Suzanne, I think this film has some power that goes directly to our inconscient. I felt less scared the last time I watched it, but I am really tempted to see it again.

Few films did it to me: I could quote one famous from Frank Capra (I don't remeber its name in english), another one from Bergman (I don't remember its name either) and vanguardist brazilian film from the begining of the century called "Limite" ("limit" in english). About Limite, almost all scenes stay in my mind until now (I watched it four or five times more than 10 years ago), and the scenes are so impressive and so beautiful. I don't use to like experimental films, but this one is superb. And the story of the film director (his name was Mário Peixoto) is impressive too: he made this film in 1921 (I think), and stayed alive until the nineties and he never made another one! Anyway, "Limite" was chosed by critics more than once the best brazilian film ever...

> It's good to have around.

To scary people around... hehe.

> Hey, that means Morrissey will be playing Brazillian country

He won't go to Curitiba anymore (a friend told me). I think he knew about the brazilian country party...

I try to keep my ears open, in fact. All styles of music has good songs. Do you agree?

Hehe. Anyway, we have pratically no music in Curitiba. In pop/rock music for example, almost all mid-size cities in Brazil has groups and singers that make success (in Brazil of course)... but no group from Curitiba makes success (including the guy I know who plays blues).

ya see Fabricio, sometimes you can't really imagine your life going on in one way forever. To still be this way in 10 years would really suck. You wait for things, because you think things will come, but what you really are in is limbo. Nothing ever shows up, and nothing ever gives you a clue on what you can do to make it show up, and my usual manner in trying to achieve things results in disaster, so I need another option.

I don't think I've ever seen a Brazilian film.

hey, if he does know about the Brazilian country party, then let's ask him what he wants instead.....he has something else in mind, so what could it be?

I can already hear the crickets chirping.

heh. sounds like Austin. People try and imagine this place spawns legends when in fact all we've able to muster up is Fastball. We put up a friggin statue to Stevie Ray Vaughn even though his hometown was not here.

Speaking of that, and south by southwest, I looked on the website and noticed that Sack was scheduled the first night...wednesday. Why on earth did they give them such a crappy time slot? I was horrified by the listings of who else was going to play at the festival. The Nixons? Tracy Bonham? What the hell is this crap? They're a bunch of washed up has-beens who haven't released anything beyond their one hit wonder crap. I thought this was a music festival showcasing people who had a chance.

And do you want to be like me for example? So, do you think people in general like me? Do you really want I tell you my inner feelings as a suggestion to you? If you really want some different point of view, of course I'll help you the best way I can. This is serious.

I don't think so. I like our conversations.

> yes, you know when to keep your eyes closed this time.

"I'm affraid of opening my eyes, I'm affraid of closing my eyes"

> Nothing like Godard, is it?

Well, I hate Godard! It's experimental but it's unexpected for the good: the film is a silent one (it was made in the twenties) and it has marvelous images of Angra dos Reis beach, the musics that are played in it are from Satie, Debussy and Ravel, the cameraman was a genius. The film consists in a man and two women in a lost boat, and they tell their stories - only by images. There's pratically no subtitles in the film, so it's good to read the story before watching the film. The title "Limit" is about the human limits - a kind of existencialist thing. But the film is really really poetic.

> I don't think I've ever seen a Brazilian film.

There are some very good Brazilian films, but I only know their portuguese titles: "Vidas Secas" (sixties) and "Memórias do Cárcere" (eighties) from Nelson Pereira dos Santos. "Terra em Transe" and "Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol" from Gláuber Rocha (sixties). And we have a very good film called "Central do Brasil" that competed for two Oscars last year (best actress - Fernanda Montenegro and best foreigner film).

> Aww... How do you know this? Why hasnt' anything been announced?

Well, this friend of mine told me that the show was cancelled, and I mailed the Forum house to know the truth. The truth is that the show is not confirmed nor cancelled yet.

> If it's true, sorry...

Well, but it seems that the São Paulo show is confirmed, and the tickets are on sale now. And i don't think I'll go there...

> hey, if he does know about the Brazilian country party, then

Perhaps a João Gilberto or a Snoop Dogg show. Or a show where these two guys play toghether - it would be fine.

> I can already hear the crickets chirping.

> Yes. some people are really masters of their genre.

And perhaps not much more than this. See blues for example: I heard lots of it but I like only two or three singers. The same with rap: Eric B and Rakim, Snoop Dogg and the Brazilian (!) Racionais MC's and MV Bill.

Well, that's how life is. The managers here in Curitiba are affraid that Morrissey will come and the Forum will not sold out, and they'll lost their money. You see our money (R$: real) is weak and perhaps this will be the cause for Morrissey not going here...
 
Re: but i never said being sick was a bad thing

I thought we already established it was Morrissey! What? Do you actually think I have someone? Bah! What's wrong with you?

Your feet have allergies? ARe they sneezing?

> da da duh happy feet??? what???

It's a song. Sort of jazzy in nature, more famously recorded by a local pop jazz group on about 3 different albums...because they kept getting new lead singers and felt the world needed a new rendition of "Happy Feet"

They seem to have a weird habit of praying to saints...and correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't saints just ordinary people who did something extroardinary in the name of God?

> Well, Carmelites are just more complex than this comparison to

But it's true. Mary did the will of God as did many others. From what I gather, the church says that you can't be God's messenger unless they personally choose you to do so.

Well, i'm sure my local indie video store might have them. Not that I've ever taken a stroll through the Brazillian section, but they do have a pretty large foreign section all together.

> Well, this friend of mine told me that the show was cancelled,

sheesh, this is my first rule: do not listen to anyone about anything. in my experience, people don't usually know what they are talking about.

> Well, but it seems that the São Paulo show is confirmed, and the

heh. well, yes, travelling for a show is a gamble. From what I can see, you are better off if you know there are several shows nearby in case something happens and the entire band collapses in back spasms at one show. If you choose an area with many shows, there is a good chance that maybe 4/5 of the group are able to perform.

that would be interesting to say the least.

I didn't care either way. They showed him for the one billionth re-run of Austin City Limits and I tried to watch, but I got bored when I noticed the song he was playing seemed to have no end.

No, they aren't. They itch a little bit. And sometimes in bad places.

Being in the same room as you? It would be so exciting...

I have the bad habit to pray to Saint Teresa of Avila and Saint Teresa of Lisieux.

And my favorite singer is called Teresa, as my daughter.

And my marvelous grandmother was called Thereza.

An my marvelous mother in law is called Maria Thereza.

>and

Saints, as the prophets, are good people sent by God himself to show good examples to the sinners.

God wants everything, God can EveryThing.

Yes, sometimes I am really well surprised for some good reactions towards me.

But you know, if you treat nice other people they are bound to treat you nice too.

Well, this may not be my case anyway... And sometimes I am bad treated too, here and elsewhere.

> it's more than that...

Wow! What do you meant here? Nice thoughts towards me?

And Brazil normally don't produce lots of films, and unfortunately the great most part of them is terribly boring - lots of Godard style movies... and lots of simply bad ones...

I'll write this phrase in my book of important thoughts - you are correct again.

It's even difficult to imagine the thing...hehe

Oh, sorry if I was rude here. It must have been my English again... And even the samba has good singers: Beth Carvalho, Dudu Nobre and the best of them, Zeca Pagodinho.

I'll try to see if my journalist friend toches me something about it. It's very difficult to me to.

Anyway, I work in an Electricity Trader and I am begining to understand a little bit of these kind of things...

Huh? Feet have naughty places? :^)

Sounds more like athlete's foot which is not an allergy. Unless the fungus on your feet was releasing spores that make you start sneezing, you don't qualify.

hey, but check it out! The people at the pharmacy gave me this syringe looking device with my cough syrup so I can measure the quantity. I feel like a heroin addict with it.

Don't you ever get confused over who you are talking to?

Yes, but those people are doing God's will, aren't they?

From what I understand, most saints receive a message from Jesus or an angel telling them to do something. Obviously, these people weren't born knowing what to do. They lead very human lives and nobody really heralded their existance. And if you say that we should look to them because God is on their side, then I say that every civilization believes God is on their side (which is very handy when going to war) and therefore, you are really gaining nothing in the end. If God is for everyone, then we are all on the same playing field.

And what if someone receives a message from God, and yet, nobody but the person themselves knows it? I could have good reason to pray to the guy who works at the video store and never know it. And even if people found out, the catholic church wouldn't be interested in canonizing him because he may not have very strong ties to the church, and his social position may not lend itself to the church embracing him.

What I think of the Catholic power structure and how they choose what a saint is, and which priests are worthy of forgiving you, is really nothing more than a left over remnant from their height of power in mideival times....or probably more from the time they were starting to lose power.

Not necessarily.

There are two types you can fall under: you can be the good friend or the chump. The good friend is the person you call up any day of the week to go out and spend time with and enjoy life. The chump is the person you call if you need a ride to a club and nobody in your group has a car.

I don't consider him modern. The extended guitar solo that put you to sleep is pretty much dead.

the whole subject of money and business involved in music is so jarring. It's like you're selling a packaged deal, and you know you are selling a package, and yet, it's so hard to think of something you create and the image you make for yourself in terms of a consumable product.

No, of course. The great religions have the same basis, say the same important things. The fake religions disappeared.

Why don't you really pray to your guy? Pray with faith that interesting things will happen to you.

There's no religion without praying - I just can't understand how people that doesn't pray wants to discuss religion.

Almost everything material is consumable. We for example have our value as workers, and this signifies an amount of money. Music for me is true when has life in it - so it may represented by an amount of money too.

Trading electric energy and trading a show has something in common: the trade.
