["Tabassum Siddiqui" ] Re: Emm Gyner in Toronto [James McGarry ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1998 21:18:04 PDT From: "Tabassum Siddiqui" Subject: Buffy C. @ Indigo Books fiasco... Um, okay, this is bad. ;) I went down to Indigo Books this evening to see Buffy Childerhose, the "Lilith to Lilith Fair" author talk about the book and the tour, as per Nettwerk's recent e-mail to everyone about her appearance. Anyhow, I got there around 6:45, and she and her publicist had just arrived. Indigo obviously thought a lot of people were going to be there, because they'd done a whole setup with chairs and a mike and stuff, and some girl was all suited up to do the introductions. BUT... nobody came! I was the only 'member of the public' there besides the handful of Indigo staff and Buffy's own people. I felt kinda bad for her. But she just kinda talked to those of us who *were* there briefly about the book and her thoughts about the tour instead of doing a formal presentation of any kind, and afterwards I told her I liked the book and got her to sign it for me. CityTV had come out to film the "event" , but had to settle for a brief interview with Buffy instead. ANYHOW, folks, I *know* some of you had planned to make it down, so next time, *please* make an effort to come out to something like this. Especially when we had a few days advance notice, too... I mean, I felt silly sitting there all by myself! ;-) At least I got some good reads out of it - I got the new book 'Solo: Women Songwriters In Their Own Words', which is a really good book, by the way, and picked up some magazines. Speaking of magazines, I recommend picking up the latest issue of Tower Records' in-store magazine, Pulse! They have a full-page article with Emm Gryner, the cover story is a great discussion between Liz Phair and Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon (who has some really intelligent positive things to say about Lilith, which surprised but pleased me exceedingly), and an equally good sidebar with Lilith newcomers Anggun, Bic Runga, and N'Dea Davenport. Going to bed - see some of y'all tomorrow at Lilith! - - Tab :) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Aug 1998 20:14:14 -0400 From: "Andrea " Subject: Emm Gyner in Toronto I just heard on the radio this morning that Emm will be performing at this year's Labour Day "Beachfest" [I think that's the proper name] presented by local Toronto radio station Mix 99.9, famous for over playing good music...anyway this time I can't complain b/c it'll be a great chance for me to see Emm live and for free, seeing as her show next week at the Reverb is prolly a 19+ show...[is there such thing as an 18+ show in Ontario?] and who the hell is Bernard Butler anyway? Whatever, just thought I'd let all the Toronto area Fumblers/Believers/Can-MusSubbers know and babble just a little mores :D ~Andrea! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICQ: 10294764 AOL IM: TheAndyC "Kiss goodbye to summer skies, Hollywood and Malibu tides, through thick and thin, you've got a good friend in me" - -Mary Lou Lord ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Aug 1998 21:03:24 -0400 (EDT) From: James McGarry Subject: Re: Emm Gyner in Toronto On Sat, 15 Aug 1998, Andrea wrote: > me to see Emm live and for free, seeing as her show next week at the Reverb > is prolly a 19+ show...[is there such thing as an 18+ show in Ontario?] and Nope, there's all-ages and 19+, that darn LLBO! ;-) > who the hell is Bernard Butler anyway? Whatever, just thought I'd let all Think Suede! Well, earlier Suede... BB was with Suede from um..89-94, then left, toured with a bunch of other artists (Aimee Mann andEdwin Collins come to mind). I think this is his first solo stuff, the single "Stay" was popular early this year. Suede was part of the early 90's vanguard of Brit-pop.
