Does anyone have a word for that Irish vocal effect, sort of a catch in the throat, that O'Riordan used in several of her songs? Someone on another site suggested "keening" but that looks like a different effect used at funerals.
9bluepiano
'Catch in the throat' sounds like 'sob' of operatic singing though little doubt that's not what you mean. Don't mind O'Riordan's singing being meh, don't overmuch mind her airplane tantrum, do mind her having had the arrogance to sing with Pavarotti--a ridiculous imbalance cringey to hear, that was.

>9 bluepiano:, I wouldn't call it arrogance when the big P did a whole series of "Pavarotti and Friends", did he not? Anybody who took him up on that was arrogant? For charity?

>1 CliffBurns: - the bizarre thing about that documentary is that there is a moment when Rick Hall is relating yet another tragedy that I found myself having to stifle a laugh because it seemed more parody than reality. Through the sixties his FAME studio produced an avalanche of great material, he may have subsequently sold more records in the 1970s when he crossed over to pop but it was never the same after The Swampers left him.

According to Wiki his birthdate was 11 June 1934 so, he was 60 in 1994. Someone else's 60th? Whatever it is, the site has clearly bungled the caption.

Personally, I never rated his fiction, and his most popular stories read extremely dated. I also thought he was an arsehole after an article he wrote in Asimov's about fans. I see he now apparently created and popularised the New Wave, which is complete bollocks. The New Wave was British and the US version of it was kicked off by a Judith Merril anthology, England Swings.
Oh, and 45 years later, still no sign of the third Dangerous Visions anthology...

As I wrote on BOINGBOING:
"Personally, I’ll miss Ellison’s personality, as much as many may disparage it. We need writers who are prickly, opinionated, demanding, unwilling to play nice with readers and editors. Thirty+ years of professional writing have taught me that fans of a genre aren’t particularly smart or discerning (“fan-dumb”) and most editors I’ve encountered shouldn’t be running a photocopied class newsletter, let alone a major publication (or publishing house).
Authors these days are boring, lacking distinguishing characteristics and quirks, and when it comes to invective, Scalzi and Stross can’t touch Ellison with a 10-foot barge pole.
Log on to a SF/fan forum and if the idiots aren’t talking about the latest popular TV or movie franchise, they’re exchanging fucking recipes and holding circle jerks for their favorite semi-literate scribe with a degree in astrophysics but absolutely no affinity for the English language (and certainly no ear for it).
I talked to Harlan a few times on the phone–it wasn’t always pleasant but when I’d touch on a favorite person or notion, he warmed considerably (especially once he realized I wasn’t a complete idiot). I particularly remember a brief chat we had about his old friend–and one of my literary heroes–Charles Beaumont.
I doubt he’s 'resting in peace' or any of that other nonsense. He was a pain in the ass, a prankster, a man who treated the printed word with the reverence it deserves.
Fuck all the naysayers, we need more people like him in this world."

>68 RobertDay: From the Docotrow article: I have discovered some place inside me where two things can be true: that someone did something bad, and that someone did something good. Importantly, I can have these two views without the need to balance them ("the good outweighs the bad, so we can still be friends"), because balance is so often erasure ("with all the good he's done, why dwell on the bad?").
I have been fighting this conundrum for most of my adult life. Saying I'll never watch a Polanski film was probablyl the first time I considered it, but there have been many others - Elia Kazan and others from that time stand out. And now its hard to justify my love as a child for Bill Cosby's work with my disgust with him now. And there is Marion Zimmer Bradly, an old fav of mine, to discover the allegations about her and screaming ' but I loved those books, why can't I still do so?' This quote says it all, and gives me some piece*. Thankful for that.

Contemporary SF authors are non-entities, indistinguishable widgets, few veering from the sensibilities and tastes of the herd.
Ellison wasn't like that and as maddening as he could be, he was far better company than the monotonic, personality-deficient bunch that succeeded him.
