My interpretation is that the T.H. & B. is a railway line,
and the
"diesel" to which DL refers would be the diesel engine
on one of the
T.H. & B. trains. In other words, the diesel beckons them to
"the city
of steel, smokestacks..." etc.
Anyone concur?

everyone can do themselves a favor and take your copies of the
dyLanois
collaborations OH MERCY and TIME OUT OF MIND, load them into your
cd changer,
hit shuffle and throw a 100 minute tape into your cassette deck
and hit
record... the resulting tape has shed a WHOLE LOTTA light and
insight on and
into both these artists. for me, a lanois produced record release
is almost
the same as a lanois record release.
has anyone ever heard the hothouse flowers HOME cd that lanois
produced for
them?
if you don't own APOLLO... the eno/lanois rec then go get it.
thanks,

Sky
In Acadie Digest 96, Patricia Anderson asked:
>I'm looking for an explanation of a line in the Daniel Lanois
song "Under a
>Stormy Sky." I'm puzzled about the line - "I hear
the T.H. & B" which is
>followed by "the diesel turning calling you and
me."
There is a song on the CD Strays by Junkhouse (a Hamilton band,
friends of
DL's) called Big Lake, which is about Hamilton. There's a line in
it "I took
my love down to the T.H. & B. line". I once asked Tom
Wilson, the lead
singer, what that referred to, and he told me it's a railroad -
Toronto,
Hamilton, and Buffalo. All of these cities are around the
southwest end of
Lake Ontario. When I met Mark Howard a few years ago, he told me
that Under A
Stormy Sky was inspired by Hamilton.
I hope this helps, Patricia!

The TH&B stands for the Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo
Railway. You can find
plenty of info (and then some!) about the TH&B at this

you
like the lighter side of daniel check out James Keelaghan... A
Recent
Future .... brilliant! also Alison Krauss and the Union

Subject: Lanois Intimate and Interactive
Hi there everybody
I have recently been trading Daniel Lanois video footage with
some of
the fine folks on this list.
Just yesterday I found out that MuchMusic aired a Lanois 'I and
I' in
spring of '93. This was around the time of Wynona and I believe
it featured
him with his bassist but not the drummer.
If anyone has this and wishes to trade for it, I have a pretty
good
batch of stuff you may not have. Alternatively I am willing to
trade 2
blanks for 1 with stuff.
Please let me know if any of you would like to enter into such a
deal.
I have references if you wish.

Subject: French music recommendation
First of all, I would like to congratulate those responsible for
the
creation and maintenance of this fine web site and those who make
intelligent contributions to this electronic newsletter.
In response to Tim in ACADIE Digest Number 95, I would suggest
another
French Canadian (Québécois) singer/composer called Daniel,
Daniel Bélanger.
He’s put out two solo albums: The first in 1993 entitled
“Les insomniaques
s’amusent” [The Insomniacs Play] and the second in 1996
entitled “Quatre
saisons dans le désordre” [Four Seasons in Disarray]. Both
are very strong,
but I believe his latest effort is more “Lanoisesque”.
For more information on Bélanger and his work - including sound
bits - check
out this web site (in French):
http://www.audiogram.com/artistes/belanger/belanger.htm
On the universality of music: I had no trouble tuning a friend of
mine on a
recent visit in the USA to Lanois’ and Bélanger’s
music. He returned home
to Dakar, Sénégal with my copies of “Acadie” and
“Les insomniaques
s’amusent”. I would have also given him “Quatres
saisons dans le désordre”
if another friend had only returned it to me in time!
Fortunately, I’ll be
going back home to Montréal for Christmas.
Cheers!

From: Steve Swart <sswart@verticalnet.com>
Regarding this nonsense about the "Dark Side" being out
of control and
unconscious -
Everyone has a "dark side" but it is simply a mark of
maturity as to
whether it is generally "under control" or not.
Childish existentialism
is not of interest to me. Control does not equal boring. Chaos
does not
equal interesting. If you think so, find a television and tune
into the
ultimate chaos - a non-receiving channel that has only white
noise. If
that's interesting to you, then I feel sorry for you. As anyone
who is
acquainted with Daniel Lanois work can attest, it is the product
of
intense labor with extreme attention to detail. A product of
order, not
chaos. There is the occasional happy accident, but overall Daniel
Lanois'
musical contributions are some of the most intentional and
creative I
have found.
