YOu are a life saver. I can't wait to get home tonight and pull out my copy of "Distressed Gentlefolk". I do recall listening to it sometime in the past couple of months, but I can't account for why that song came into my head. And yes, you've found another Jazz Butcher fan. I'm more partial to their older stuff, which I think is brilliant, but think some of the newer ones are fun too. I agree with you about that album though. I love Nothing Special, and I really love "Hungarian Love Song", "Buffalo Shame", and the geography lesson song. That was the last butcher album that I was pretty excited about (despite it's boring stretches). (I still treasure my sex and travel/???? two on one disc.)

This has to be brief since we're out the door in a minute to go see Milla, but I have something to add to woj's exhaustive, pravatineresque account of last Thursday/Friday's festivities. :) When Happy took the stage, right before the first song started in earnest, she looked over at our table and sang, "ecto... ecto..." :> She does as great Adam Duritz impression, too... maybe she and Tamar should go on MTV's show Lip Service!

Today's NYTimes had an article on the Canadian Eskimo singer Susan Aglukark. The article mentions that she has found success in the Toronto area and signed a major recording deal with EMI Music Canada in March. They describe her music as a blend of folk and country gospel that speaks of the alcoholism, sexual abuse and suicide that shadows the Eskimos transition between their self sufficient world and the pressures of industrial society. Has anyone heard any of her music? She sounds rather interesting but would like to get some feedback from anyone familiar with her before I try to hunt around for her music. *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=* | Wayne A.

After all the enthusiastic reviews in these pages I must say that I was a bit disappointed after the first listen. No songs like Into The Fire or Drawn To The Rhythm that take you away. But maybe it will grow on me (I only listened to it once). A few weeks ago, I saw Penelope Housten in concert here in Osnabrueck. I didn't know her before but I remembered her name mentioned in this list. During the break of one of the world championship soccer matches which have been shown at that place, they showed a concert video of PH which was quite nice. The tickets were cheap and so I decided to go there. I wasn't disappointed, PH is a very nice person, the band was brilliant and most of the songs, too.

Date: Tue, 16 Aug 94 13:06:20 -0400 Thanks for the trip report, woj, it sounds like a great time. Wish I'd gone. One almost entirely unrelated note: >it's the only decent sam goody's in the nation far as i can tell Back in April 93, I went to a Sam Goody (in Pentagon City, right across the river from DC) and managed to buy the _Brazil_ soundtrack (with Her on it), the Arson Garden "Drink A Drink of You" single, and the first M7x album. I've never since seen anything to come close to that at a Sam Goody. But I was pretty damned impressed at the time. Jeff (wondering how far he'll have to drive to see Happy, since it seems that she won't be in DC...) ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 16 Aug 1994 15:27:16 -0400 (EDT) From: Michael K Curry Subject: Milla at The Mercury Lounge Hi all, I took the day off today (because I knew I wouldn't be getting home last night until at least 5AM) so I have time to write this rather long review/story about Milla's show last night at the Mercury Lounge. :) I'm posting it to both rfn and ecto. I left my house at about 1:15PM, headed to Mystic to pick up my friend Cristina. Everything went as planned, and we made it to the train station in New Haven in plenty of time to catch the 3:54 train to NYC. I had never taken the Metro North into NYC before, but it did turn out to be better than driving into the city. We arrived at Grand Central on time (5:46) and took a cab downtown to the Mercury Lounge (thereby avoiding any subway adventures). Though our cab driver was a bit of an idiot, we made it downtown in about 20 minutes. The Mercury Lounge looked like pretty cool place, and we went inside to buy our tickets. Unfortunately the bartender informed us that the show was sold out!!! She suggested that we come back at 8:30 because they might be putting some more tickets on sale then. Needless to say, we were rather depressed... or at least we were depressed once the shock began to wear off. We trudged uptown a little ways and found a nice little Japanese restaurant for dinner (chosen because there were actually Japanese people eating there), but though the food was good we were getting more and more depressed. I still had hope that we'd be able to get tickets, but Cristina was a bit more pessimistic. After we ate we walked back down to the Mercury Lounge, planning to just hang out until 8:30. It was when we got back to the Lounge that our luck took a dramatic turn. As we got near I could see a man and and a couple of women (with their backs to me) standing in front of the place. The man looked strangely familiar... hmmm. We walked by them, planning to sit down and wait. As we walked by I heard a familiar voice say, "Hey... don't I know you?" I turned around and it was Milla! "Yeah, I'm Mike..." I started to say. "Mike from Woodstock!" said Chris (the man who I had thought familiar :) ), and Milla said, "Mike the Internet guy!" We exchanged pleasantries, and I introduced them both to Cristina. Milla and Chris were just leaving, and Chris said "I'll see you at the show," to which I replied, "Actually, we don't have tickets." "Oh, just a sec," Chris said and went inside. He came back out a minute or two later (Milla waited impatiently, having hailed a cab) and said, "OK, you're on the guest list... Michael Curry plus one." I thanked him, and then he hopped into the cab and left. As you can probably imagine, this amazing turn of events had left Cristina and I rather stunned. We went inside the Mercury Lounge to sit down and collect ourselves, and discovered that there were already more tickets for the show on sale. Just to be safe I made sure we really were on the guest list (we were :) ), and then we sat at the bar while we waited for them to open the doors to the music area. They sold a few more tickets, and at about 9:00 people started to line up to go into the music area. Cristina and I got in line with about 10 people in front of us, and I kept looking back to see if woj and Meredith had arrived. They appeared about 15 minutes later, and I walked back to talk to them. After the exchange of greetings I began my story of meeting Milla with "We got here at about 6:30 and they said the show was sold out...," which was probably a rather bad way to start out if the looks of horror on woj and Meredith's faces were any indication (sorry about that). I quickly explained that there were now more tickets on sale, and then returned to my place in line. At about 9:30 they opened the doors. This seems like a good place to describe the Mercury Lounge. The front of the place was a long narrow room with a bar along one wall. At the end of this room was a set of glass doors which led to a large square room where the stage was located. The stage was set up along the far wall, tables along the two side walls, and the sound board in back. The center of the room was empty. Most of the tables were reserved (for record company people, Milla's management, and her friends) but we managed to get spots right next to the stage on the right side, and we also saved spots for woj and Meredith. The opening act went on at about 10:15 (the show was supposed to start at 10). It was a guy with an acoustic guitar (later joined by a friend on a Hammond), and he was pretty good. The crowd was well-behaved, which it seemed was a pleasant surprise for him. During his second or third song the staff made people who had been sitting on the floor get up and move forward so they could fit more people into the room. He looked rather surprised when everyone started to stand up and move toward him. :) Once people were standing it became apparent that the seats we had weren't going to work, so we ended up perching on the backs of our chairs/benches. Milla came on shortly after 11:00, and played until around 12:30 (I didn't check my watch, so these time are just guesses). While the band members had to shove their way through the crowd both during setup and when they took the stage, Milla came in from outside through the stage door. The set was the standard one: The Blue Goat Ruby Lane Charlie It's Your Life Strange Behavior (new song) Gentleman Who Fell Bang Your Head Precious Time (new song) Clock The Alien Song Falling (new song) You Did It All Before Can You Bend Your Back Like This (new song) In A Glade When I had seen Milla July 7th in Woodstock she had been rather eccentric, a little nervous, and a little stoned. Last night she was eccentric, not at all nervous, and very stoned. The set was great (though as usual Milla had trouble with some of the high notes), and Milla was *very* talkative. The words woj used to describe her were "frosted flake". :) She talked before every song and danced around the stage. I thought she was wonderful! :) After the show we waited (me, Cristina, woj, Meredith, and two other people that Meredith introduced me to... but whose names I've since forgotten) while the record company people went "backstage" (outside) and then left. The others got impatient and urged me to just go outside and talk to Milla, and after waiting a while longer that's what I did... I just walked across the stage and out the door. It turns out that it was a good thing they pushed me, because I don't think Milla was planning on doing her usual meet the fans routine. I went outside and chatted with Chris for a minute, and he gave me an invitation to a private post-concert party. On one side it said had the Paper Magazine logo and a picture of Milla and said "COME PLAY!". The other side read, "PAPER and EMI Records invite you and a guest to join Milla at one of our favorite cribs for drinks and ice cream. Monday August 15th, BABYLAND, 81 Ave A (between E. 4th and E. 5th streets). Playtime begins at 11:30pm." I was more than a little stunned by this (sort of a theme for the evening in case you hadn't noticed). Milla and her friends were hanging around out back having a few beers, and I walked over to her and said hi. "Hey everybody", she said to her assembled friends, "this is Mike. He's so cool... he does this Internet thing that's so dope." She then launched into a really bad explantion of the 'Net, which included it being just like AOL and me working for it. :) Then she mentioned hearing one of those "child molester on the Internet" stories that the media loves to write, and I had to explain to one of her friends that it was just bad press and that most people on the 'Net were really very nice. Anyway, I handed Milla an envelope containing printouts of all the reviews of her that have appeared on rfn (along with a copy of the welcome file), and she got really excited and seemed amazed that so many people had taken the time to write reviews of her shows. I asked her if she had had a chance to listen to Happy's albums yet, and she said that she hadn't been near a CD player since she got them . I was really hoping to get a good review that I could pass on to Happy. I said I had to get back to my friends, and Milla glanced at the invitation in my hand and said, "I really hope I'll see you there." I just smiled, said goodbye, and went back inside. You see... I knew almost as soon as I read the invitation that I wasn't going to be going. My friend Cristina had to be at work the next morning, and I had to drive her back home. We could catch the 12:30 or 1:30 train back to New Haven, but I was already really tired (it was a little after midnight when I finished talking to Milla) and I knew that the extra hour could make the difference between getting Cristina (and myself) home safely or ending up wrapped around a light pole. It turned out to be just as well that I hadn't convinced Cristina to drop by the party, as the amount of smoke she inhaled at the lounge had made her rather ill. Before I go any further I want to give a brief description of Babyland, the club where the party was being held. According to a review of the club that I read in the summer edition of Paper (the one with Milla on the cover), Babyland has sort of a nursery/crib motif. They have accessories at the bar like bath toys (and I assume rattles), and there was mention of water pistols and crazy foam. :) Cristina and I caught a cab back to Grand Central (woj offered us a ride up, but because I had delayed so long before going to talk to Milla we were pressed for time) and made our train with two or three minutes to spare. It was a looong train ride and a loooooong drive home. I got her home a little after 4:00AM, and got home myself at about 5. I had a *great* time (and so did Cristina), and it was well worth the time and expense of going into NYC. I want to thank everyone who mentioned the list to Milla! Oh, Alfred... Milla said she gave you a message for me? As of this writing I haven't seen your review of the Toronto show yet, so I assume you're planning on including it with that. Mike PS: Still no word on those CTD tour dates. PPS: There was no merchandise on sale... guess I'll have to wait until the CTD tour to get a t-shirt. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* | Michael Curry / mcurry@world.std.com / CIS: 70372,3563 | |+++++++++++++++++++++++++++smoe++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| | Reaching-From-Nowhere -- The Milla Mailing List | | reaching-from-nowhere-request@world.std.com | *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 16 Aug 94 15:06:12 CDT From: The Robert Kincaid of ecto? Subject: The art and science of nonanniversaries Yesterday was Linda Ellerbee's birthday; today is Madonna's, as well as the anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson's father-in-law :-), "depending on who you talk to," as the Today show put it this morning. It occurred to me over the weekend that in addition to being the anniversary of a couple of other things, Happy's birthday last week was also the anniversary of the nuking of Nagasaki in 1945 (something vaguely alliterative about that.) While killing time last saturday before showtime for the director's cut of _Woodstock_, I browsed in the public library across the street from the Music Box, and somehow ended up checking out _The Bridges of Madison County_, contem- porary fiction's answer to _Y Kant Tori Read_. (Yesterday's paper had an item announcing that Meryl Streep had beaten out Isabella Rosselini for the female lead, but that's neither here nor there.) While waiting for the train home, I began to read it. It turns out that the fictional Robert Kincaid's odyssey from Bellingham, Washington to an indeterminate Iowa community is supposed to have begun on August 8, 1965--one day before Happy's real DOB. It is written that the term "near miss" to describe this sort of thing was coined by the Royal Air Force during World War II, to avoid jacking up the anxiety levels of pilots-in-training any further than was already the case :-). (We all know, of course, that it really refers to a near hit.) Some months ago, I was on an IRC channel when a woman who was also there stated that she liked the name Mitch, because it inspired her to mental imagery of a middle-aged man on a motorcycle or something to that effect. Naturally, I wrote down her exact words at the time, but unfortunately I don't have them with me just now. But then, as now, I was at least mildly bemused at having been placed in such a _BOMC_ scenario. Clint Eastwood as me? Go figure :-). Kudos to Mike Curry for continuing the tradition of exhaustive, pravatineresque accounts of stuff. As fate would have it, a short time ago I was on our IRC channel at a time when much of the discussion centered on preparations for the upcoming ecto gathering in the pacific northwest (or southwest, presumably, if you're in British Columbia). I would implore them to continue the tradition some more, and be sure to write it all up for the record. Mitch ------------------------------ "We are one family spread all over the world.

Tickets are still available for both shows, and since I will be leaving the bay area in a couple of months, I thought that this would be a great opportunity to have some sort of pre-show ectophile gathering. So, if anyone is planning to attend these concerts, please contact me, and let's try to meet before the shows. Angelos PS.

Alana--now known the world over, serving countries far and wide *chuckle* *************************************************************************** * Alana Hawk ...flying with tattered wings * ...looking for men *laugh* * ...and seeking out adventure *chuckle* *...oh...and trying to just generally have a good time...*smile* ======================================================================== Date: Wed, 17 Aug 1994 00:07:54 -0600 (MDT) From: "Scott D. Bigelow" Subject: Chords and lyrics to "Mary" by Sarah McLachlan Here's my best guess at the chords to "Mary" by Sarah McLachlan. There's a really sweet acoustic version of this song on her "possesion" single. ------------------------------------------------------------- "Mary" from _Fumbling Towards Ecstasy_ by Sarah McLachlan: Intro: C C Dm G C C Dm Verses & chorus: C Dm G Mary walks down to the water's edge & there she hangs her head to C Dm find herself faded a shadow of what she once was. She says C Dm G "How long have I been sleeping & why do I feel so old why do I feel so cold C Dm My heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go." F G F C Dm Am G With trembling hands she reaches out a strangers's flesh is offered & F G F C F G F C I would be the last to know I would be the last to let it show F G F C Dm G I would be the last to go. [you get the idea from here] Take her hand she will lead you through the fire give you back hope & hope that you won't take too much respecting what is left she cradled us she held us in her arms unselfish in her suffering she could not understand that no one seemed to have the time to cherish what was given I would be the last...[and so on] ---------------------------------------------------- Any corrections would be greatly appreciated. I hope you all enjoy this song as much as I do. If anyone's figured out chords for other S.M. songs or Milla songs, I'd be interested. bye all!
