Brni, do you have room to host Chris Boek as well? sure. the big question is: how many times does he want to move around in the week that he's in the area? we have a spare bedroom (may be a bit hot if the heat rises like it did a few weeks back..., but maybe we can get kim to lend us the a/c out of her "closet" (one of my roomates has a room dedicated entirely to her clothes and her makeup...)) one bad thing about my place is that it has annoying access to public transit (takes over an hour to get anywhere worth going) i could drive you around, but that won't help while i'm at work lets try this in one sentance (the danger of philosophical training is the accumulation of verbage--nounage as well, it seems): i'd be happy to have you, (visitors are fun :) :) ), but i certainly will understand if you choose not to bounce around from house to house too much the easiest way to do this, of course, is to wait and see how you feel about the whole thing once you are here.

The new People magazine (the one with the Brides on the cover) has a review of Sweet Relief and a mini- article about Victoria. They loved the album btw. Say what you will about People (on second thought, don't) but someone there has pretty good taste in music and they've reviewed a lot of Ecto-type artists, from Kate to Jane to Sarah to The Innocence Mission. I'd love to see them review Happy (woj, thank you too, for posting about Sweet Relief!) > Tom Servo on Catalina Caper: > "was that the funny part?" :-) Creepy Girl is *so* cool!

Obviously not because of the instrumentation, but the melody and chord progressions are (to my ears anywhere) very reminiscent of some songs Geoff ======================================================================== Date: Fri, 23 Jul 93 07:11:17 -0400 From: barry@gnu.ai.mit.edu (Barry Wong) Subject: KaTemas When and where is the Katemas going to be this year?

So I mentioned to her that I would put a feeler out on the list to see if any of you folks could help out?? I'm sure she would be pleased to receive anything that you feel you no longer require. Unfortunately her system dosen't accept records, so it's tapes or CDs only. She would be glad to pay the postage and packing costs if required Anyone who could help, email me and I'll send you my snailmail address and many Thanks in advance Thanks again, Terry === Only in your eyes lies your soul ========================= Happy Rhodes === _ __ Jolly Hockeysticks _ __ / `-' ( ,,, / `-' ( ,,, | I I ||||||[:::] Terry (Tel Boy) Partis | I I ||||||[:::] \_.-._( ''' (tgp@ukc.ac.uk) \_.-._( ''' With a smile and a song - I'm HaPpy Let me sleep awhile and dream of Avalon and the Beltane fires................. ............................................our souls entwined for all eternity ======================================================================== Date: Fri, 23 Jul 93 02:37:10 CST From: kiri Subject: more stuff :) hey hey, had one of of those rare magical mystical radio moments today when E..(blah) followed Everything but the Girl....weee! also heard/played 'So Much Mine' from The Story...at first listen of that particular track only I wasn't impressed much...but i'll give it another chance I *love* Bjork's solo album. Also, Tears for Fears has some really excellent stuff coming out.. Sorry I don't have Elm to do all that fancy quote stuff, but someone wrote that 4-NOn-Blondes were sorta like Baby Animals but better.... In my mind Baby Animals should've been aborted. *sarcastic smiley* :) just to put my 2 cents in about the Gays in the Military issue I think Clinton is a wuss...wuss wuss wuss (king missile fans pipe in now). I was just in Memphis yesturday and Court and I were talking about this situation. She told me that some people at work were talking and being ignorant southerners (for the most part, not to say all southerners are ignorant..just most of them) Anyway, one of them said to her ( a woman),'i'm glad that Clinton wussed out, I didn't want to be taking no shower with a lezbo staring me down.' Oh great voluminous *sigh* Yes folx this is what they think in the south...at least in memphis... *sigh* kiri ======================================================================== From: guetzlaf@gravity.cray.com (Cathy Guetzlaff) Subject: Out and about in Mpls Date: Fri, 23 Jul 93 8:09:25 CDT My partner and I were toodling about Minneapolis last night doing a variety of errands, one of which was to stop at The Electric Fetus, our favorite record store/head shop. I checked to see whether there were any of The Hapster's CDs there. There were Next stop was The Amazon Bookstore (the women's bookstore in Mpls) so Carla could pick up some psychology books (she buys those thangs the way most of us buy CDs...). There, in amongst CDs by Cris Williamson, Meg Christian, Holly Near, etc., were two copies of _Equipoise_! Imagine my surprise!

I got them via Ecto; did others fail to? If so, my later note about what the "poster" consisted of was probably rather mysterious. Regarding that, I'm going back to Tower after the coast is clear from the four-day Art Fair that has taken over our town and see if I can't get dibs on it when they take it down. I wouldn't keep it for myself but some deserving soul here might be interested in it..

They not only had all of her CDs in (except HR5), they also had a mammoth Equipoise poster up! {THE POSTER I DESCRIBED MORE FULLY IN A LATER POST} Mymymy. This could all be for naught, however. They had so many people in doing inventory that I fear perhaps the store is closing (they had the bad taste to rent from a jerk landlord who went bigtime broke this year). Do Tower Records stores always look like they've been overrun by an army of slackers at inventory time? Point 2. Wherein I wax grateful for all the music tips I receive from this list: I picked up the Cranberries and Ingrid Karklins, and I really like them.
