As this is my first ecto post, I'll do a bit of introduction... I'm semi-new to Internet shtuff (<1 month) but I've worked for America Online for quite some time now, mainly doing customer service, tech help, testing, etc. If memory serves me, I heard about ecto on the Kate Bush mailing list, which brings me to my main passion: music. I'm mainly into the danceable/techno/sampler/synth side of things, such as Meat Beat Manifesto, Eon, Intermix, etc., but I generally listen to everything from Kate & the Cocteaus to Mind Bomd and Led Zeppelin, including many points inbetween. I'm also a film fan, and love all things audio-visual. Now...if I could just find a disc or two by some "Happy" someoneorother... ;D On the subject of One Dove, they're great. Their album is called "One Dove White", and the song that everybody keeps hearing/ seeing is most likely "White Love", which has had a bit of airplay on the local progressive station. I've got the cd, and it's quite good. Sort of light-techno, dub-inspired, vocal-heaven, melodic stuff. Oh, and the singer's name is "Dot". Now, you can't beat that, can you? ;D Next single, I believe, is "Breakdown"...look/listen for it. -Vlad princevlad@aol.com "Come on in, the dreams are fine... Now I know why I like this place..."

BTW, did y'all hear about Williamson Co. TX? For those who haven't, it seems that, as per usual procedure, Apple Inc. sought tax breaks from Williamson Co. to "enable" them to build an $80,000,000 customer service center. The Williamson Co. commissioners voted down the proposal, based on their disapproval of Apple's "domestic partner's health benefits" policy. Well, in a world of cynicism, it's gratifying to learn that, occasionally one shallow objective (greed, in this case, read on) will do battle with another (religious dogma). It seems that the commissioners were plagued with numerous complaints from citizens who were about to watch a golden employment opportunity go down the tubes. Between those letters/phone calls, and Governor Ann Richards paying a personal visit, the commissioners saw the light, and granted Apple the tax breaks they sought, thus enabling them to go ahead with their construction project...and they lived happily ever after. On to more esoteric business. Yeah, the demand for ultra-thin (a' la Kate Moss) bodies is not good, IMO. It's worrisome that, in relation to Ms. Moss, Cyndi Crawford is seen as being "voluptuous"! (Vis a vis, the recent media battle concering the clash of the body types). I mean, Cyndi's got a really nice shape, but, voluptuous???? She's still THIN, IMO. As for the interpretation of the "Beauty and the Beast" intent of the EQ cover, I have to admit to being unaware of this interpretation....I imagined it as a comparison between Happy's outward appearance and her internal demons. Though I can't deny the plausibility of the former interpretation (esp. WRT "Play The Game"), I more readily associated the dual-nature of the being on the cover with what seems to be an ongoing themer in HR's music, namely the inner torment as an ironic foil to her outward appearance and voice (both of which are sweet). In other words, I associated the cover art with "Cohabitants", and actually seem to remember that HR or Vickie or Jessica mentioned this association....hmmmmm. I guess, that, considering HR's talent, she could've meant both types of dualities.... Jessica, Speaking of Steve Fagg's question about wedding photos in the archives, I have a coupla questions/suggestions. First, I couldn't transfer certain GIFs (apparently any with two periods in the filename, such as volume.1.gif.). Also, Christine Waite's GIF won't come up on Corel Photo Paint, as it's an interlaced GIF.... Second, I call all ectophiles (who aren't religiously opposed to having their photos taken (y'know that "spirit in the box" thang)) to submit GIFs/photos for scanning to (Jessica or Martin) who are about to step in and either tell me to shut up, or tell y'all how to do so. It was really neat to be able to see Martin (with whom I've exchanged email) in all his pixelated glory. I also caught a glimpse of Jessica (whom i did not see at the 3/18/92 concert at QE2, even though she was there...also, picture(s) of Vickie are conspicuously absent.....) Well, people, what are we waiting for, or are we trying to prove that we don't need to see each other to communicate via email, and that providing the visual info, subverts the ability to trnascend preconceptions.....??????

Made some mistakes in that last post there... The One Dove album is called "Morning Dove White", not "One Dove White" as I horribly misquoted it. Also, one of the bands I meant to mention was Mind Bomb, not "Bomd". Maybe *MY* mind is "bomd" to-day... ;D Also, regarding the Bel Canto posts, I enjoy both "Birds of Passage" and "Shimmering, Warm, and Bright", only slightly favouring BoP. I can see why some might say that SWaB doesn't hold up as a whole compared to BoP, but I personally find that the more I listen to it, the more I appreciate the songs which didn't quite grab me at first. At any rate, I've still got to get a copy of "White Out Conditions" somehow - suppose I'll mail-order from Nettwerk. Anybody have thoughts on the Biosphere material? I've heard it's quite good... By the way, I was pleasantly surprised to get a number of "Welcome to Ecto" letters from people to-day, and I only posted my original message about 2 hours ago...I think I'll stick around...

I delurk once again, most cautiously after having been reprimanded. I am writing a paper on mythology. It seems people are intersted in mythology. I think HRs songs are mythological, part of why I like them so much. I've never actually studied mythology. Want to conduct a survey. After two heated discussions with friends, I see how strongly people feel about it. One friend today (Thurs) doesn't take anything created in this day and age seriously as mythology. Another friend believes SNG is a kind of mythology. Do you like mythology? Do you believe it serves a purpose? How? Do you think SNG is a kind of mythology or, because it's created in the present, it can't be called mythology? How do you think mythology comes into being and does it evolve? And anything else that comes to mind. I had this paper in the back of my mind and Holly's rendition of the Persephone story sort of prompted me. I actually heard a different Persephone story in which she chose to go to the underworld. It portrays her as courageous instead of a victim. Mythology- there are usually different versions of the stories. Why are some more widely known? What is the context in which they come into being and evolve?

It's just down the road from me.. in fact my parents live (and I used to..) in W. County. Kinda funny to watch this soap opera play out. The point was that Apple wanted the same tax breaks as Dell was getting, and all would have been fine and dandy if the commissioner had just said no, but instead they decided to get up on their little soapbox (and Williamson *is* pretty little..) and nix it becuase of Apples' partner policies. I can picture Ann Richards finding out about this and just picturing what this was gonna do the the image of Texas in big business's eyes. I envisioned her calling a huddle and telling the commisioners.. "..okay... let me make something a little more clear to you..." and then smacking each of them on the backs of their heads. A lot of people are siding with the commissioners not because of the sexual ethics involved but they don't think it's right for the company to get such huge deals when smaller businesses get no such consideration..

Thanks for delurking! > Do you like mythology? Yes; I find it vastly interesting. > Do you believe it serves a purpose? > How? It did at one time, before folk came up with Science to explain things. I believe that it still does serve a purpose because (I don't mean to offend anyone) to me, religion is mythology, and lots of people find purpose in relgion. > Do you think SNG is a kind of mythology or, > because it's created in the present, it can't be called mythology? Er...um...what's SNG? > How do you think mythology comes into being and does it evolve? Mythology comes into being when people have questions about things for which there are no answers. Not having answers is uncomfortable, so folk make up their own answers to balance their intellectual disequilibrium. As more and more answers to difficult questions are found, the mythology changes or disappears altogether. > And anything else that comes to mind. Different cultures have different mythologies, but there are some archetypes that seem to span cultures. It would be interesting to isolate one myth (the creation myth, or the myth about how come there are different seasons, etc.) and see if you can't find that myth in African, American Indian, Chinese, European, and other cultures' mythologies, and then look for similarities and differences. Kerjillions of works of art (all genres of art, too) have been inspired by mythology or have some sort of mythological content, and a knowlege of mythology allows a person to appreciate more deeply such music, literature, ballet, film, etc. > Why are > some more widely known? Do you mean, why are the Greek and Roman myths more widely known, or are you talking about individual stories? I don't know why individual myths are more well known than others, but I guess that Greek and Roman mythology is more widely known than the mythology of other cultures because academia places high value on them there Classic peoples, and Eurocentric educators value less the mythologies of "other" cultures. Hell, I don't know.

Bloody marv- elous :-). The dates of Hanukah on the Western calendar are quite variable, and I don't think it usually comes around this early. Too bad, in a way, that I didn't learn of Nikolaus day (except for the first mention 33 years ago) until after I'd recorded significant parts of the HGP patter; it would have partly relieved the overreliance on mentions of Christmas, Hanukah and the Winter Solstice :-). Time now to get the lugubrious bits over with. I hope Bob's mother gets better . And of course, I hope Vickie gets better. Might I recommend the ideas of a wise man named Alex Gibbs, not only in his .sig, but in the body of one of his several posts in the past 24 hours, wherein he discussed some things that nee- ded to be discussed in the present situation, far more insightfully than I could have, not having had fully comparable experiences of my own. This reminds me of a reader I had one year in high school German, called _Heiteres und Ernstes_. Having finished digressing toward the latter, let me now return to the former. What is the world coming to, when the likes of Spy magazine can scoop the mighty Journal of Irreproducible Results with its analysis of certain Santa-related exigencies? Once, that would have been a natural for JIR. Wonder if the New England Journal of Medicine will have the presence of mind to write up whatever syndromes are sequellae of all those G-forces, aggravated by all those dietary indescretions and pulmonary insults from acute exposure to all those sooty chimneys :-). WRT Hollyspeak: if you can understand my posts, notwithstanding my longstandin g policy of never saying anything the simple way, Holly's writings should come easy. Or is it the other way around? :-) Seldane is indeed a damn fine antihistamine, albeit expensive as hell if your insurance doesn't eat most of the tab. (But wouldn't "Eat the Seldane" be a damn fine Weird Al Yankovic cover of KaTe, lampooning the high cost of health care :-)? ) It was on the way to being available over the counter here, when it was discovered to have strange interactions with certain other drugs. Hard to say what will happen to it now. Looks like the nuucp server is at it again, giving us backup copies of all manner of ecto posts. Just a thought: had we known at the beginning how many endomorphs are coming out in these pages this week, might we have decided to call the list "endo?" :-) The renewed discussion of mythology reminds me of the 1994 Garfield calendar I saw in Crown Books last week. This year's theme is a unique spin on history and mythology; and the March calendar has a picture whose caption is something like "Persephone, goddess of spring, being pursued by Partyon [Garfield], god of spring break." Off to try to complete the spoken bits for the HGP. Deck the halls with boughs of chale :-).

I can only comment on being tallish (6'2" or so), and the only thing it means to me is I can't fit in some snazzy sportscars. That and I have to duck when I go into the basement else I get a concussion. My two previous girlfriends were both overweight by society's standards and I thought both of 'em were absolutely beautiful. I've got about ten pounds of excess fat around my gut and I really want to get rid of it. So the double standard in my case is the other way around.

I was born May 22, 1973 (Gemini), and am a computer science major at Stanford. I wear a size 6 1/2 shoe and am in a desperate search for a nice black cloak (anyone have any ideas where to find such a treasure??). I became absolutely hooked on Happy's music about 3 months ago after having been introduced to her work by a friend (who also lurks here). I must point to that introduction as something of a turning point in my musical life. Up to that point, I had always felt like my musical interests were evolving in the direction of music I could really LOVE, but I knew I wasn't there yet, and I was horribly dissatisfied with my current collection. My initial exposure to Happy was in the form of a collection of her songs that my friend had made me last March. Very quickly it became the only thing I listened to, and in times of emotional crisis and depression, it always helped me find a little bit of peace. After finally finding RhodeSongs in September, I was so captivated, that I bought all of her cd's within 3 weeks, listening to them continually (much to the dismay of my roommate). Since that time, I've felt that I have to characterize my musical taste differently than in the past. Though I'm still terribly under-exposed to good music (though my list of new music to get is VERY long at this point), I'm finally finding music I really love. Happily, I finally discovered Tori a few weeks ago, and I must say it's blissful to be able to enjoy such wonderful music. For the time being, I lurk on Ecto catching recommendations of other artists whose work I am likely to enjoy. I can to attribute my attraction to Happy's work to many things, but more significantly I can note the effect her music has had on my life. I had a pretty unhappy childhood, nothing horrible, really, but I grew up with overwhelming feelings of inadequacy and the belief that I wasn't worth anyone's time or care. From a very early age, I grappled with bouts of depression, thoughts of suicide, and beliefs that anything wrong in my life was my own fault. I hit something of a low in terms of those feelings about 6 months ago, and desperately went through a difficult time of self-analysis to try to change my life and make it through what seemed to be a hopeless cause. When I finally became fully exposed to Happy, I was astounded. I was hearing the same feelings that had always troubled me, and suddenly I wasn't the only person in the world who felt the way I did. It has always seemed that people are expected to ALWAYS be happy and content on the outside. Seeing this, I always felt alone in my depression. Moreover, I have a tendency to think about EVERYTHING a little too much to the point of it being stifling, and I was always confronted by people who just don't seem to think at all or those who would tell me I just think too much. Happy's music somehow validated my right to feel as I do, and I started feeling like I, too, have a place in the world--that I'm not entirely weird or anything. Beginning with this discovery, things began to fall into place for me, I began to accept myself as I am, and for the first time, I stopped placing the guilt of the world entirely on myself. And at times when the depression began to return, I found that listening to ANY of Happy's cd's was the prefect cure. That's not to say I would become overjoyed or anything, but I was able to find an inner peace with myself. I've now discovered that no matter how depressed I feel at the beginning of an album, by the time I reach the end, I'm ok. In general that's been by newest trend--inner peace and acceptance. At this point I must add that I think this list is WONDERFUL, or more accurately all of you are absolutely great!! In the same way that Happy's music makes me feel like I am normal in my own way, all of you make me realize that there ARE caring, thoughtful, and just plain NICE people in the world who think in the same way as I do about many things. People always comment on how nice the people are to each other here are and how little flaming there is, and this just makes me think that this is the way everything SHOULD be. I've never understood the need to flame, be rude, and criticize the beliefs of others, and it's wonderful to find a sub-culture where civility is the norm!! It amazes me how honest and caring you all are, and I must say that I'm touched by the sense of community and trust. I think it's great that people can feel like they can express their inner feelings, fears, and thoughts and know that they will be accepted and loved. Hugs to all of you!! On a lighter note, I should share a little Happy story with you. I have to say that one of my favorite moments in music EVER takes place in "Noone Here". When I first heard the meows at the end of that song, I burst out laughing and crying at the same time. That must be some of the sweetest, most heart-felt meows ever heard!! It's just the perfect touch to that song, and somehow it just touched a soft spot in my heart. I love it. For about two weeks after that, I played the "meow-meow song" for all my friends, making them admit that it was just about the cutest thing they had ever heard. When I hear it now, I still get terribly happy and bounce up and down in delight for a while. Odd? Maybe. :) On the Happy side of all of this, in the last 2 months I have converted two other people to devout Happy-ism, and I think I have a few more on the way. :) Finally, I have to ask a question out of curiosity. Some time back, I was introduced to the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator. Using four characteristic: Introversion vs. Extroversion, Intuitive vs. Sensitive, Thinking vs. Feeling, and Perceiving vs. Judging, it provides fairly extensive descriptions of a person's personality characteristics. Although "classifying" people according to these definitions is obviously over-generalizing and has its limits, the descriptions in a book I have about the various types is amazingly accurate in my experience. At the very least I've found it to be thought-provoking when trying to understand oneself, and recently I've discovered that many of my closest friends seem to fall in the same categories. My question then, is how might this relate to musical taste?? And more specifically, it would be interesting to hear what some of the other people on his list are. I happen to be an INFJ, and many of my closest friends are INFPs. Anyone else know what they are?? (I have a 70-question test that can provide a good guess, so if anyone would like a copy, let me know. :) BTW, the book I have on the topic is called _Please_Understand_Me by an author whose name escapes me... Anyway, I've rambled long enough, but again, "hi" to you all, and thanks for making the world seem a little friendlier!! Now back to lurking...
