Generally trashed as hopping on the swing bandwagon though I've been seeing Mr. Rude's swingpunk for neigh on 10 years now. Vav Jungle A must-skip. CMW Be there. Bobby Wiseman Kicks. Scott B. Sympathy I'm guessing this is Unfinished Sympathy, check out Mr. S's work in such bands as Dan Bern A must hear! Pluto An early favourite of mine when they were on Mint Records! (Stay Minty!) A bit inconsistent live, they still rule! Comustible Edison Sure its theoretically short for The Combustible Edison Heliotropic Oriental Mambo and Foxtrot Orchestra. But Miss Lily, the Millionaire and the Boys give us oh so cool lounge swing. And check out the Mediaeval Baebes on Radiosonic, Sun Apr 4, 1999. Early Music; Late Cleavage.

First of all, my apologies to anyone and everyone to whom I've appeared antisocial. Please know that if I've seemed to snub you, you haven't been singled out....I've been letting piles of mail go unanswered since about November, and have had my Instant Message service turned off nearly all of the time since then, too. I'm not going to get into any of the personal stuff that's been going on with me since I've become somewhat of a lurker.....as always, the personal side of my life has its ups and downs. All I'll tell you is never, never, never stop taking your antidepressants cold turkey -- without consulting your therapist! As some of you know, I've started a freelance editing business. Some of you have even had enough faith in me and have been kind enough to send a bit of work my way, and I thank you! So.....what I'm doing businesswise is freelance editing, writing, indexing, research, and book reviewing.....and other related aspects of publishing/communications that happen to come my way. I feel very fortunate to be able to thank my internet friends for helping me to get started, specifically Michael Moore (a former member of FTE) and Adrian Brassington (a former member of harbinger). Adrian gave me the opportunity to collaborate on his most magnificent (yet-to-be-published) novel, and Michael helped to get me connected with Book-of-the-Month Club, for whom I now work as a freelance manuscript reader/reviewer. Because of those two people....and because of all the support I've received from so many of you.....I am now a regular contributor to BOOK Magazine -- a brand new literary magazine based in Chicago. Yes, I'm published! ;-) If you have the time and interest, I hope you'll take a look at the two reviews I have up on the internet (so far): Book - The Magazine for the Reading Life (Go to "Capsules" and look for my review of the book titled "Nola.") IN PLANE VIEW (Click on "Reviews" -- the link to my review of this book is near the bottom of the page.) Well....I won't bore you all any longer with this self-centered horn tooting.....but thought this would be the easiest way to let you know why I've been rather invisible for so long. Unfortunately, I can't participate in my music mailing lists nearly as much as I used to enjoy....but I *do* miss you all. And I thank you for the ego-boosting support you've always given to me.... *share the music with hugs and kisses all around*, Jill :D the editor's mark (website coming soon!) 6276 Mere Drive Mason, OH 45040 (513) 459-7506 or (513) 509-2792 ------------------------------ End of canadian-music-digest V2 #35 ***********************************
