I guess I like that.

Human beings have been making music since before we were able to write it down. The pop radio formula of verse/chorus is not even a hundred years old. Mabel Normand is primal.

It's hard to rank them right now when there are so many good songs, but here's my Top 10, which is certain to change.
I put 24 Karat Gold #3 behind Bella Donna and The Wild Heart. I hope she tours behind this record. What an amazing show this would be!

Yes, right?! Stevie likes to name drop and I would love for once to hear Stevie talking about an artist Neko Case and her song Man instead of blathering about Katy Perry's vacuous E.T.

Of course, I've already noted that most people here do like it. That's what made is so surprising to me when I finally heard it, because the descriptions of it and it's transformation from the demo set me up to expect something completely different. Michele |

Yes, exactly!! The vocal is the way Mabel Normand (and Stevie) lived at the time. Just on and on and never ending, chugging relentlessly along to the music. The song is perfectly made for what it's about.

The change sides gets to be more song-like than the rest of the rambling though. But I realize most people here do like Mabel Normand. I was expressing my impression, not seeking accord. It's just that I'd been reading everyone else's takes and I just listened to the record on Friday, so I have a late reaction to what everyone has been saying for a few weeks. Until Friday, all I had was the Mabel Normand demo. Michele |

I think for me, even if words have no meter or structure or syllable count, they still have to have a rhythm. That rhythm is what makes the sadness or the death or the pathos. Lindsey once said about Stevie that it's where she stops that counts. Pausing creates a rhythm as does inflection, making your voice high or low, to mimic or suggest the emotion. I think Starshine does that very nicely. She stops and doesn't say "wrong." She gets us to say "wrong" in our head several times, before she actually says it on the record. The way you say things, fast or slow or in sudden stops makes a beat that is a type of music in and of itself. That's why I mentioned These Strange Times, because it really does have a beat, in Mick's voice alone. I guess, for me, Mabel Normand just lacks that beat in the vocal and doesn't marry the music that's been attached to it. Michele |
