Brage) Subject: The Power of the Net! [Blake's Tyger] Hi! Thanks for the answers about the lyrics for Tyger, Liz and Alan. I just now logged on to the lyrics server from my Sun at work, fetched the lyrics for the album and then transferred the archive to my home machine by UUCP... Apparently all the lyrics from the album is by Blake, I was particularly interested in the lyrics for the track "London": > [From Blake's London:...] > > In every cry of every Man, > In every Infant's cry of fear, > In every voice, in every ban, > The mind-forg'd manacles I hear: > > [... And later from "America":] > > Rise and look out; his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open; > And let his wife and children return from the opressor's scourge. > They look behind at every step and believe it is a dream, > Singing: "The Sun has left his blackness, and has found a fresher morning, > And the fair Moon rejoices in the clear and cloudless night; > For Empire is no more, and now the Lion and Wolf shall cease." There's something missing from the lyrics in the archive, though, probably also by Blake: The lines about "Children of a future age, reading this indignant page..." Hmm, sounds as if I should find some of his works... Btw., didn't he write the lyrics for "Jerusalem" as well? [Happy relevance(?): I had some suspicion that Shakespeare was to blame for the lyrics, but they weren't quite that old. So he will have to make do with Happy's "Would that I could"... :-)] About typing (-: lefthanded: Sorry Alan, I think it's a question of habit: I find :-) easier to type as well... Perhaps you should switch to Dvorak, then (-: might come easier (though everything else probably wouldn't! ;-)) Jens P.

Subscribe to the digest if you feel overwhelmed. Hunh? What's this got to do with anything? Meredith still would have had 4 hours worth of digests to read through! But, all that aside, here's a response to your question about Jane Siberry. I'm not sure when the album is due out, but I belive it's April. It's to be called _Baby Tigers_, and a friend of mine got to see Jane perform a lot of music from it at a concert he saw at Hampshire College a few weeks ago! He said it was really wonderful-- dreamy/ethereal, with Jane's inimitable quirkiness. Jeff ======================================================================== From: alan moorse Date: Sat, 27 Feb 93 23:20:09 -0500 Subject: Like a Lamb I agree with one of the thought threads on the meaning of this song, and like Jessica, I think this way because of a personal connection. (SOmeone out there, I hope, remembers her comments of 2/13 -- that's how far "caught up" I am right now.) I don't have the lyric sheet in front of me now, but if I explain the memory that clicked with the song, I think you'll see my point. In early '83 I was at sea, and we happened to stop in Mallorca for the weekend of my birthday. When I called home, I found that my father had rushed to Florida, where my grandmother was to undergo emergency surgery. I tried calling him there, and reached my aunt, who said they'd had to argue with theri mother to get her to undego the surgery, but that she'd finally agreed and was to have it that evening (it was very early in the morning there). That was Friday. I called again Sunday, and my dad said she'd come through the surgery fine, then refused to eat her first post-op meal, prompting another argument. Finally, she agreed to have a bit of lunch, so the nurses and my dad and aunt had left her room "for just a minute" while lunch was fetched, and she died. Two of my dad's comments from that conversation popped into my head when I heard/read OLaL: 1)She was just humoring us, waiting until we turned our backs, 2)The last thing she said to me was that she'd talk to me later, and I keep finding myself listening. I won't speculate over who Happy might have written OLaL about, or even whether she wrote it about a specific person or event, or that the first person references refer to her (how's THAT for hedging?). But the way I see the story of the song is that someone exceptional has slipped away, and the speaker expects him to stop by again on the next cycle through life. My guess on the 17 hours, based on my family's history, is surgery/lifesaving efforts, but that really is a guess. alanm ======================================================================== Date: Sun, 28 Feb 93 5:27:23 EST From: WretchAwry Subject: REALLY BIG NEWS (former and current) Kevin still hasn't written up a fax for me to post, but he did give me the go-ahead to tell the basic lowdown. Former Really Big News: the rumor was true. Andreas Vollenweider(sp?) had asked Happy to go on tour with him...as a backup singer. He flew her to Zurich (!) so they could meet and talk and, I presume, audition. Happy decided not to do it because the tour was to last for 14 months and Happy would have had to put her entire career on hold. Even with all the advantages of doing such a thing, with EQP just released, she didn't want to shelve herself. Current Really Big News: H&K want to do a "radio tour" such as the one that Tori did. Happy has been working up acoustic versions of EQP songs in preparation. The first radio station they'd hit would most likely be WXPN, and, at the same time, World Cafe. A list hasn't been drawn up yet, but Kevin *promised* me that he'd keep me informed as to which stations Happy will play. This should *hopefully* be happening within the next couple of months. Kevin seemed optimistic that they'll go to the West coast. Of course, they need airplay at whatever stations they go to. (So *CALL* and request...call early, call often!) Other current RBN: Happy will have a CD single out by Christmas. No other information about this was forthcoming. Exciting, huh? My own HO is that Happy made the right decision wrt AV. I can think of dozens of advantages to going on tour with him, but the biggest disadvantage, Happy putting her own career on hold, far outweighs (to me anyway) the advantages. It might be different if she were opening for him, but the offer was definitely for background vocals only. Still, AV was very impressed with Happy and I take it he understood why Happy said no, so bridges weren't burned. The radio station tour is an exciting bit of news. I hope we have Ectophiles in every city she goes to. They all must be taped! Kevin didn't say this, so don't take this as truth, but I'd imagine that we might possibly get a non-album track or two on the CD single. I hope so!

In perusing my latest digest I came across a wonderful post by Steve Lusky. Are you new to the board, Steve? I am (relatively), and I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful story you sent us! The paragraph about America was on the mark, to say the least! When we as a nation can come to grips with our inner feelings and open our minds to tolerance, we will all be better off! Has anyone here ever read (or heard of) a book by R.D. Laing called _The Politics Of Experience_? It's a great, insightful book, very powerful, about the "human condition". "We see so little of what there is to see, and of what we see, we love so little - and to that extent we are so much less than what we are", to paraphrase one of the books' ideas... Laing was a student of mental problems; his ideas on schizophrenia were controversial. Those who love Happy's lyrics would probably enjoy his writing. Steve, do you mean to tell me that most of Ecto is made up of engineers? I'm a television engineer, you're a CMOS CPU kinda guy, internet is a Unix dream: Can It Be? :) Oh well! Some notes - I didn't watch the grammies! I'm sorry to have missed PG, but I gave up on awards shows a few years ago. Even though I'm in the business, I agree with Newton Minow! Equipoise continues to involve and captivate! Last weekend I played all six albums back to back - EQP seems so consistant and beautiful. Thanks folks, see you all again shortly! Bob Lovejoy ======================================================================== Date: Sun, 28 Feb 93 10:47:22 EST From: woj@remus.rutgers.edu (l.l. cool bean) Subject: doing the klaus thing ...i've ignored ecto for long enough. there are currently about 25 digests sitting in my mailbox which i've scanned, but not done anything with. so i will now attempt to wend my way through them. it is now 7:39am...let's see how long this takes... Kjetil Torgrim Homme sez: >Hmm. Ok, revised statement: Lyrics are secondary. If the music doesn't >snap, the song will never do anything for me. Lyrics are a bonus. well, i'd not go that far. occasionally, the lyrics are what grabs me about a song - but i'll agree that it is the music that makes or breaks a song most often. for all meredith knows, velocity girl or the swirlies or tar or circus lupus might have lyrics that would blow her socks off and change her world and make her life make complete sense...but she'll never know cos she doesn't like loud crunchy guitars. ;) Stylistically bizarre writing made easy sez: >Turns out that the album I alluded to the other day, on which KaTe sang backup, >was indeed Roy Harper's _Once_ (IRS, 1990). i got the new roy harper album a few weeks ago and it's more of the biting social commentary that _once_ is...but with the added dimension of the pain of a breakup with jacqui (who apparently left him for nigel kennedy). it's magnificent. there was some talk on love-hounds that KaTe had sang backup on _death or glory?_, but that is false. a woman who does sound somewhat like KaTe does sing on one track though and i had to think twice about it first before get- ting the booklet to check the name. >She does this on the title track, but I don't think this would be obvious >to anyone if the booklet didn't list it. the first time i listened to "once," KaTe's voice shook me out of a slumber i was having on the floor. i nearly got whiplash swinging my head around to the speakers to listen more closely. kiri sez: >Well my theory is that He will Come is >sung in a very feminine way, while the Flight is sung in >a more masculine way.... I don't know whether she was trying >to achieve this or not, hey! that's a good explanation! i like it...and i suspect that it was en- tirely intentional since her voice does sound deeper and strained (to my ear) on "the flight." it seems odd that she would release it like that if it was not intentional... Mike Mendelson sez: >Re: sparseness --- >Um, I beg to disagree. If you want sparse happy arrangements, start >at Vol 1 and follow it up to Warpaint. Equipoise is by *far* the >*least* sparse sound Happy has produced to date, IMO. okay, we're comparing apples and oranges here. i'm not comparing _equipoise_ to other happy albums when i talk about it not being overproduced. compared to other happy albums, yes, it's not sparse but with respect to the whole gamut of music, it is. on the happy spectrum though, i'd place _warpaint_ above _equipoise_ though. i think at this point i'll complain about instrumentation. i wish that she'd use more acoustic instruments instead of relying on the synthesizer that much. that bass synth is unnerving. it's not clear from the liner notes if they a using a drum machine, but it sure sounds like one. acoustic drums can do won- ders for sound - just ask henry frayne and the moon seven times. Neile Graham sez: >_Equipoise_ gets richer each time I listen to it, and even the songs I >thought I might tire of only get more interesting to me. yeah, i'll (sheepishly) admit this too. i'm listening to the cd for the first time in a week or so right now and i caught my foot tapping uncon- sciously to "runners" (i might have even been air druming to it for all i can remember :) despite all my nonsense about what i don't like about this album, keep in mind that i really do like it lots. (i know, i know...so why do i ramble on about them? dunno...) jeffy@syrinx.umd.edu sez: >Poisepoisepoisepoisepoisepoise. What a great word. Your fingers just >flow across the keyboard. >I know, I know...I get off on weird things. So sue me. s'okay - i get off on choreographed tv commercials. i'm not a typist, but after ten years or so of using computers, i've gotten pretty good at typing fast, but in an unorthodox manner. poise is a nice thing to type though - three short badips on the right side of the kb and then two plunks on the left. yeah, it flows. equipoise ain't too bad to type either.

I remembere the recent posting about >Dr. Mountain's nature recordings, and wondered if he had supplied this dunno...on robyn hitchcock's _black snake diamond role_, one song has an ocean sound that was created by tom dolby electronically which is way cool. kinda reminds me of it anyways.

Michael G Peskura sez: >Holy Moly! I LOVE Cordwainer Smith!

Neile Graham sez: >Also bought a cd by Bettie Serveert, _Palomine_ because a friend had >compared them to PJ Harvey. They're not nearly as wonderful, but I like >it nonetheless. It's just that I can't tell the songs apart yet. hmmm. i've only heard a few pj harvey songs still, but i have listened to the entire beettie serveert album once. i wasn't that wowed by it although early everyone i know is ushing about how great it is. even so, they are playing in the area later in march and i'll probably go. super- chunk and tsunami are playing with them and are probably the real reasons why i'm going but i'm also curious to see if beettie serveert will come across better live. they're from the netherlands, by the way, and no one in the band is named "betty." :) "Chris Waite" sez: > Does anyone have any information about "LOVE CLUB"...they have a nice song >called "Sad Eyes"... others have mentioned the album already. i'll just add that i like it, enough to use a few of their songs on samplers for people, but not enough to listen to it a lot. it's edgy, which i like, but the guitar is pretty much a metalish thing (though the music is not) which is does not grab my ear too much. >Also, what do people think of Shellyan Orphin? i likes 'em. summery shimmery pop of the sweetest kind. sugar for your ears. yum! >and does anyone know anything about Kim Deal? singer/bassist for the pixies (now defunct) and leader of the breeders. also sings backup on ultra vivid scene's "special one" (which is about as near to perfect pop as you can get).
