Wonder if she's related to Artie Traum, >the jazz legend. Come to think of it, New York is full of Happys!

Hmmm, I seem to be the first Ectophile to have a copy of the CD single in her grubby little hands (Vickie excluded, natch :}). It actually was delivered by UPS on Friday, but the people in the downstairs apartment had it and I didn't realize this until yesterday. ANYway... It's cool. The cover photo is quite unfortunate, but it's cool nonetheless (Happy is a striking woman, don't get me wrong, but profile shots are something she should avoid like rats during an outbreak of the Bubonic Plague). For those who have heard her latest radio appearances there won't be any surprises (excepting the last 8 seconds, that is :), and it sounds like the acouscitc (erk- ACOUSTIC) versions were recorded live in the studio in one take, but I may be wrong. It should do her a very good service providing the radio stations to which it gets sent play it. I also firmly believe that this should be available commercially. If enough stations play "Ashes To Ashes" that will introduce a new dimension of people to her music, and encourage different people to look into her original stuff. Tell all your friends, bug your record stores, now! Saw Peter Gabriel last night. woj made me promise to let him post first. I'll just say that it was a *show*, and quite a good one at that- very spectacular, with an emphasis on the spectacle. I do wish the entire thing had consisted of the weirdness displayed in "Digging in the Dirt", but hey, you can't have it all. :> Finally, it's 9:04 PM Eastern Daylight Time- which makes it 2:06 AM Greenwich Mean Time. Kate has performed on Aspel & Co., and I won't get to see a Love- Hounds Digest until Wednesday, at the rate my life will go the next couple of days. UK Ectophiles, have you seen it? What was it like? You have an hour to post something. :> (Hey Angelos, I'm trying to find a blank tape now...)
