The Maniacs were my first taste of what would eventually become alternative music. I think I was in 10th grade when I first caught a video for "You Happy Puppet," buried waaaay at the end of a 3 a.m. broadcast of <i>Friday Night Videos.</i> I remember thinking, "what is this? They don't look like rock stars." Later on, I discovered the Alarm, REM, Husker Du, etc. But the Maniacs were the first. I'm sad.comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.4891-36161Thu, 21 Dec 2000 12:59:06 -0800scottandrewBy: Skot

It sure was a rotten day for musicians. Poor Kirsty MacColl got hit by a bloody speedboat and was killed, too. Sigh.comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.4891-36162Thu, 21 Dec 2000 13:02:14 -0800SkotBy: Avogadro

Oftentimes I would find myself driving through Jamestown NY, and 10,000 Maniacs would be the soundtrack going through my head (and my car). In concerts, they would always strike me as "regular folks" who just happened to create beautiful, socially conscious music. Whenever I mourn the current state of "popular music", I can always turn to them. R.I.P.

I'm in the same boat with scottandrew. The Maniacs were the first taste of non-mainstream music I had (again, along with REM, the Alarm, and Husker Du --- what strange syncronicity!). In fact, Buck (and the non-related Peter Buck of REM) was one of the reasons I started playing guitar in the first place. I really enjoyed his playing and his songwriting. RIP, Rob.comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.4891-36176Thu, 21 Dec 2000 13:53:16 -0800sjarvisBy: chicobangs

I was never really into the Maniacs, probably because I just knew too many people I didn't like in high school who dug them. (Yes, I know that's stupid. I have long since come around.)
Kirsty MacColl's death, on the other hand, floored me. She was an amazing songwriter, with one of the clearest voices I ever heard. I am so going to miss her.comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.4891-36180Thu, 21 Dec 2000 14:15:33 -0800chicobangsBy: th3ph17

These are days you'll remember
Never before and never since, I promise
Will the whole world be warm as this
And as you feel it
You'll know it's true, that you are blessed and lucky
It's true that you are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you.comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.4891-36218Thu, 21 Dec 2000 17:41:15 -0800wiremommyBy: SentientAI

this actually made me tear up at work. I've been listening to them since just before In My Tribe was released.
their music was so important to me. I wanted to grab whomever I could and sit them down and have them listen to it too. . .
and then on top of that, Kirsty MacColl as well?
as devastated as I was when Bill Berry left R.E.M., I'm even more so now. . .comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.4891-36290Fri, 22 Dec 2000 06:35:28 -0800SentientAI
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it.

The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation.
