Hi Todd
It even has Lanois playing on the landing of his own home, so I advice you
to just go out and get it! It's superb!
Greetz,
Marja

Congrats to Kenley! How exciting this place has become!
Also, Burke II comments on Hawkins. I agree. "Songs From Venice Beach" is
also wonderful--released after his death, there is an eerie ghostly effect.
Hawkins' "The Next Hundred Years" was produced by Tony Berg, who also
produced Michael Penn. (I'm trying to make things relevant here...) I
would put Michael Penn in the same category as Daniel Lanois as far as
innovative, lyrical songwriting, spiritual, etc. Basically, their style is
so different from anyone else's. And Tony Berg is right up there in the
producing category with Mitchell Froom, Butch Vig, etc. He has this unique
L.A. stamp.

To Todd Ellenberg:
You wonder if you should purchase the ROCKY WORLD video - please do!!
You will not be disappointed. I'm sure everyone here will agree with me
that it paints a wonderful portrait of the man and his music. The video
features Daniel performing solo and with various other artists, and
includes conversation about his musical philosophy, his life long musical
journey, and his future path. And the scenes with his family are very
heart-warming. Do yourself a favor and make the purchase!!

Subject: How I met Bill Dillon
This could end up being a long story.
I became aware of Daniel's work as a producer in late 1992. In March of 1993
I
travelled to New Orleans (I live in Milwaukee, WI) to visit some musician
friends who
were spending a couple months there. I figured out the Lanois/New Orleans
connection from my then newly-purchased Acadie CD. It happened that one of my
friends knew where Kingsway was, and the house we were staying at was only
two
blocks away from it. I decided that eveyday I was there I would make a point
of
walking past Kingsway. On the second day, I turned the corner, and I could
hardly
believe it - there was Daniel getting in to a van! Since I am not at all a
shy person, I
walked up to him and congratulated him on his Grammy for Producer of the Year
for
Achtung Baby. I also asked him to autograph my Acadie CD booklet which I
conveniently had brought along. Daniel then invited my friend and me along to
see
him perform at a theater he was renting for rehearsals. How could I say no?
The van
was driven by Trina Shoemaker, whose name everyone should recognise. Along
the way, we picked up Daryl Johnson.
When we got to the theater, not a lot happened for a while, but I was able to
talk to
Daniel and ask him about any production work he had done that I was not aware
of.
Later, more people came, and Daniel performed some of his songs with Bill
Dillon,
Daryl, and Ronald Jones.
Afterwards, my friend and I got a ride back to Kingsway from Mark Howard. He
invited us to a party at Kingsway that night. That's where I met Bill Dillon.
I said to
him, "May I ask you a question?" and his reply was "I've said too much
already".
That dryly humourous comment will be with me forever. Anyway, that's when I
asked
him about the guitorgan. Unfortunately at that time I was not aware of the
extent of
his work, or I would have had a lot more questions for him!

Subject: Whoa, it's like personal updates from Dan himself! :)
Woo hoo - way to go Kenley! Thanks for all the work put into the
newsletter and site... personal updates! :)
>-Daniel has helped Bob Dylan produce a song- "Blue Eyed Jane"- on his >Jimmy Rogers Tribute album on Egyptian Records Bob's label through Sony.
It was mentioned on the U2 list that this also includes Emmylou Harris on
vocals...
So now at least we know what to look forward to - a lot of nifty stuff
coming out later this year! Can't wait :)

So... anyone gonna tape this? :) Sounds like it will be very interesting.
Are they doing this with other musicians also, or just Lanois?
Very Quick new music suggestions:
Tracy Chapman: New Beginning - 3 words: beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Abdel Ali Slimani: Miraya - one of the newest RealWorld releases. Algerian
guy who was/is also in Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart. Wobble &
company produced (so you have the obligatory Sinead and Natacha Atlas
guest vocals :) ) and very dance-y groove-y tunes.
Tricky: Maxinquaye - formerly of Massive Attack. This is a very darkly mad
kind of album with _very_ cool sounds and great vocals. Fans of Eno/U2's
Passengers album might like this - Howie B produced one track. Haven't
been able to stop listening to it - it gets in your brain and bounces
around... Same with the Tracy Chapman album although they are _very_
different.
Hey - give em a try. It can't kill ya. It might be fun. :)

Hi! 31/7 96
I'd like to defend meself a bit...
Erik Clark wrote:
"I want to reply to a few postings saying that Americans exploit violence war
etc, in response to some of our literate discussion about this cover art
issue. I do not accept the generalizations made in this way."
There must be a misunderstanding here.
I never said Americans in general exploit violence, war etc. I wrote:"It's
strange that you can exploit violence, war etc", but I didn't mean the American
people or America as a country! (The word "you" meaning here the same as "one"
- indefinite pronoun.) I'm a great fan of American music, film and literature,
and I would not generalize like that!
No, what I meant was that to some people it is ok to exploit the before
mentioned subjects, while they get very upset by a naked body. That's all...
Conservative and reactionary people exist in Europe too!
But this doesn't have much to to with the work of Lanois anymore...

Subject: Questions for Mr. Lanois???
Last news letter I mentioned that Daniel Lanois will be appearing on
a Los Angeles radio station to host and program a three hour music show. If
you have any questions for him you can mail them to the following
address... MAD.DOLL@KCRW.ORG ... I can hear it now, "why would I want
to ask a question of Daniel Lanois if he's going to be on a radio station
in L.A., I don't live anywhere near California!!!??" Well, I do. Since I
posted that announcement I have received a few requests to tape this show
and mail out tapes. I am not looking to profit from my geographical
position, but if you want to send me postage and the cost of two ninety
minute tapes, or a copy of a live performance I would be glad to mail a
tape to you.. Please Email me at ... 73513.3043@Compuserve.COM ... and I
we can make snail mail arrangements.
The show will air on wednesday, Aug. 7. Please try to contact me
before Aug. 14 if you are interested as I will try to mail all the tapes at
one time to simplify things for me, thanks.
Billy
