Subject Editor's Note
Thanks for keeping the newsletter going. It would be easier, however, if you would include an appropriate subject line for all of us to make better use of the Digest format.
Did any of you see Dan on the Grammy's? He shared a few words about the winning Dylan CD.

Subject Re ACADIE Digest, Number 108 [Bruce Cockburn]
Take it for what it's worth, but I heard Bruce Cockburn on NPR last year
discussing his last album (on which the similarities between his and Lanois'
work are striking), and he did mention doing some work in Lanois' studio.
Whether or not this means he and Daniel are collaborating is anyone's guess,
but the pairing would be a natural.

Subject Re ACADIE Digest, Number 108 [Scott Weiland]
Has anybody heard the Scott Weiland album yet? I'm anxious to hear
what Daniel did with it. I'm not particularly a STP fan but I would like to
hear the production of this album. Anybody respond please.

Sometime back I asked if anyone had the address or phone number to
Kingsway Studios. A couple of people responded, but I neglected to write
this information down on paper. Not surprisingly, my computer ate this
information recently and it is now gone forever. If anyone has this
information and/or the name of someone I can talk to there (ie the studio
manager) I would really appreciate it. Feel free to privately email me if
you consider this information to be sensitive. Thank you all very much.

More on Bruce Cockburn and Daniel Lanois Music, it has been said, is a
universal language, but I can't think of two more tempermentally different
artists/composers than Cockburn and Lanois. Having said that, the main reason
this pairing is impossible (oil and water) has to do with ideology Cockburn
writes songs about and for the oppressed. He voices grievances about how, for
instance, South Americans have been treated by the IMF. Lanois's music is more
about grief than grievance. For instance his song "Jolie Louise" from Acadie
concerns an abusive relationship ("I struck her down") and makes no judgment
about the speaker's treatment of the woman, or perhaps offers tacit approval
by not making judgments. I think "Jolie Louise" is a powerful song, but it
offers no way out, just a glimpse into a tragic situation, made more powerful
by the music's feeling of merriment. If you take Cockburn's position on these
things, Lanois's viewpoint is intolerable. Interestingly, Lanois on the liner
notes to Acadie makes no comments on any of the song's lyric "contents," just
on the way the songs came together musically. This too, I believe, would be
anathema to Cockburn.

Subject Luscious Jackson revisited
Date Sat, 21 Feb 1998 221545 GMT
I found an interesting article with an alternate spin on the last
Luscious Jackson record, which Dan produced.
You can read it for yourself at
http//www.gridmagazine.com/html/luscious_jackson1.html
Be forewarned that the author isn't very favorable on the record,
but some of his commentary was interesting (well, to me anyway).

Does anyone know how to get a hold of Daniel himself? I'm a huge Lanois
fan interested in doing anything I can to work for and learn from him. I
have worked in bands and studios for several years, but am at a point in my
life where I can take off and would love an opportunity.
Best regards,
