Tunes include: * Newry Highwayman * Pontiaka * Walk Through The Door * All The Little Horses * Drowning * Step It Out, Mary There are some sound bites from interviews with the band, a fishing expedition out on the lake (including "Madman Mora Blues" on guitarron & minnow bucket), and Dandelion River Run played over the final credits.

He said that SteveVanD and Klausnoe told him that he simply *must* visit Gaffa Central while in Chicago, so I'll be meeting him at the airport and, after showing him the "Cool Thing"(tm) in the United terminal, and a whiz around the People Mover, we'll be coming back here for a bit of an Ecto mini-party. We should be back here by, oh, say, 3:00pm. Anybody want to come over to meet the Man Who Is Not Duffers From England?

Any and all assistance would be >greatly appreciated! even a sad, distracted, and very sleepy footah can't pass up a query about Boston record stores ;) i highly recommend a trip to Harvard Square (on the Red Line subway or a 10 minute drive from downtown boston). is it an utterly cool place, full of street musicians, cafes, bookstores, etc. (and just because it's home doesn't mean i am biased ;) it is also the site of a Tower Records, an HMV, and my favorites Newberry Comics (really a music store) and Second Coming Records (a great place for bootlegs and used rarities)... Look for the Square Deal newspaper (handed out for free, or available in street dispensers) -- it usually contains coupons for $1-3 off CDs and such at the various stores... have fun! hi to all you ectofolks! fou, er, phoo, er, i forget how it goes... -greg -- bossert@vizlab.rutgers.edu -- == i have never been afraid to change == Happy == the circumstances of the world == Rhodes ======================================================================== Date: Thu, 10 Jun 93 4:59:30 EDT From: Greg Bossert Subject: Re: Boston Record Stores / Strawberries Update i mumble: >Newberry Comics *blush* given the amount of money i have spent in that place, you would think that i might be able to spell it ;) make that "Newbury Comics"... also worth a stop in the Square is Briggs & Briggs -- a bit expensive but a good source of classical and (real, international) folk... Newbury C.s is in "the Garage", a sort of mini-mall on the corner of JFK and Mount Auburn streets... Tower and HMV are around the corner at the intersection of Mount Auburn and Brattle. Second Coming is a (worthwhile) 5 minute walk down Mass. Ave. towards Central Square... I also recommend a stop in Wordworth's (my fave bookstore), the Cafe Algiers, the Brattle Theater (great old movies), and the Border Cafe (a cheap, crazy cajun/texmex restaurant)... or get some boston-style seafood ate the Doplphin restaurant above Second Coming... and one can not, in fact, pahk the cah in hahvahd yahd... i gotta footah on home... -greg -- bossert@vizlab.rutgers.edu -- == i have never been afraid to change == Happy == the circumstances of the world == Rhodes ======================================================================== Date: Thu, 10 Jun 93 14:11:36 +0200 From: Karl Dotzek Subject: A new lyrics quiz Hi!

The tape dubbing project is also still alive, and you will find its FAQ in a separate post following this one at all of the better Ecto locales near you. As for news of the project, I have received Bob's recording of the World Cafe interview, but have not released the tape, as I am still waiting for the tape of Meredith's Happy interview. When I get it, I'll put the two interviews on one tape and announce its availability on Ecto. On the other hand, if demand exists, I could release the World Cafe interview alone. Do you people want to wait or not? Feel free to post or e-mail me any opinions. Doug Burks _O_ dbx@olympic.atmos.colostate.edu |< She really is!! ======================================================================== Date: Thu, 10 Jun 93 07:47:12 MDT From: dbx@teton.atmos.colostate.edu (Doug Burks) Subject: Tape dubbing FAQ Greetings, Here are the answers to all of your questions you have asked (and some that you haven't :) ) about the Ecto tape dubbing project. * What tapes are available? Happy Gift Project 1991, Vol I (C-100) Happy Gift Project 1991, Vol II (C-100) These are songs selected by Ectophiles as a gift for Happy for the winter holiday season. It is quite an eclectic collection to browse through. Miscellaneous Happy tape (C-90) World Cafe interview of Happy, including live versions of "Feed the Fire", "Words Weren't Made For Cowards", and "Given In". The songs are included as originally recorded and in the context of the interview. The tape also includes two songs by Kevin Bartlett with Happy singing ethereal backing vocals, and the five Bartlett/Rhodes demos. Femme Music Collection Vol I (Lushy Pop) (C-90) Femme Music Collection Vol II (Mish Smash) (C-90) Femme Music Collection Vol III (Voices) (C-90) Femme Music Collection Vol IV (International Sampler) (C-90) Femme Music Collection Vol V (Easy, does it?) (C-90) Femme Music Collection Vol VI (C-90) A wide-ranging collection of female vocalists selected by Vickie Mapes Happy Rhodes Live! Albany NY 18 March 1992 Vol I (C-100) Happy Rhodes Live! Albany NY 18 March 1992 Vol II (C-100) Live recording by woj of the Happy Rhodes concert at the QE2. This is a high quality recording for the conditions. (Note that this tape will only be sent to Ectophiles. Please respect Happy's and Kevin's wishes and don't make copies of this for anyone who does not already own Happy's albums). The "Last" Champagne Jam 15 May 1992 Vol I (C-100) The "Last" Champagne Jam 15 May 1992 Vol II (C-100) The "last" Champagne Jam broadcast on WESU-FM in Middletown CT, hosted by Meredith Tarr, chock full of Ecto-style artists and even some (*gasp*) male vocalists. The recording is of decent quality. The Unofficial Happy Sampler (C-100) A sampler of songs by Happy Rhodes from all five of her albums, as chosen by Meredith Tarr. Happy Rhodes Live! Philadelphia PA 21 March 1992 (C-100) Live recording by Greg Bossert of the Happy Rhodes concert at the Harrison Auditorium. This is a good quality recording, though the last third of the concert was lost. (Note that this tape is covered by the same restrictions as the Albany concert tape). Happy radio tour (C-100) Recordings of interviews of Happy by Ed Sciaci (WYSP 28 Mar 93) and Helen Leicht (WMMR 3 Apr 93), including live acoustic performances of her and others' songs. If you want the see the actual contents of any or all of these tapes, please e-mail me. A printed copy of the tape contents will be included with every order, along with a cassette label. * Sounds great! How do I get a copy of any or all of these tapes? Three methods of getting the tapes are available: * Establish a cassette account with me. In other words, send me a check to cover the cost of cassettes, packaging, and postage. Put in as much as you want, not necessarily just to cover a single order (though you can do that, too). After your first order, anytime you want a cassette, you would just e-mail me, and I can get things out to you as soon as possible without your mailing me anything. In this case, I would dip into my own supply of chrome cassettes which I've ordered in bulk (Thanks, Mitch!). Accounts can be opened or closed at any time. Put in as much as you want, as more tapes should be added. * Establish a cassette account, as in 1, except that I will purchase the type of tape you specifically request. Obviously the cost of the tape will be higher, though the packaging and postage will be the same. * Send me the cassettes you want to put the music on (C-90 or C-100) along with money to cover packaging and return postage. I will copy the tapes you request and return them. Consider opening an account, as it will save you having to mail an order, let alone the cassettes. * How much will it cost? If you use my stash of cassettes, the cost for the cassettes is $1.10 each. The packaging for mailing the cassettes is between $0.34 and $0.66 depending on the number of tapes mailed. The postage varies depending on the number of tapes and the destination. So far, it has ranged between $0.98 and $16.70. Big help, eh? If you wish a more precise estimate for your postage cost, I can give you one via e-mail. US orders will be mailed book rate, taking five to seven days. Non-US orders will be air mailed, taking about seven to ten days. As for foreign payments, so far everyone has sent either American cash or a money order denominated in US currency. I believe that I can handle anything denominated in US currency, and probably any cashier's check (a check drawn on the bank's rather than a personal account). * Where do I send the order? To me. My mailing address: Doug Burks, 2036 West Plum Street C7, Fort Collins CO 80521 USA Orders will be processed in the order I get them, with special dispensation for foreign orders. Please note that I will not process any e-mail orders unless you have an open cassette account. * Anything else I should know? Just a few odds and ends: If I make any mistakes, I will replace the tape for free. I intend to post a progress report on the dubbing operation regularly. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Whew ... finally caught up with all those ecto digests! Has anyone out there in ectoland heard of Liz Phair? She has a new album on Matador Records called "Exile In Guyville," and it's ultra-cool. Somewhere between, um, Suzanne Vega and Sonic Youth ... mostly just Liz on electric guitar, singing in a frank, sardonic way about all the guys she's loved and lost (in R-rated language). Good, tuneful, hard-edged, rockin' stuff. Promotional CDs of Jane Siberry's "When I Was A Boy" are floating around, so be on the lookout. Not sure when the official release date is ... I thought it was June 8, but someone on gaffa said July. Anyway, the two Eno-produced songs are perfectly gorgeous. I saved my pennies and was all set to add "Warpaint" to my collection -- I'd seen it at a nearby record store, and figured, well, no one else will buy it, I can come back for it ... and when I got there, it was GONE! The same store has also sold at least a couple copies of "Equipoise."
