I saw The Crow last night, and all I can say is "what a movie." The filming was superb . . . the soundtrack was encorporated amazingly well . . . all in all-- well worth the $5 :-). Brandon Lee was the perfect actor for the lead role. *sigh* All I could add about this film is that it was _extremely_ violent-- but, IMHO, definitely worth going to see . . . peace, love, and black-winged birds, Janet ======================================================================== Date: Wed, 25 May 94 11:52:11 PDT From: snpf@lucid.com (Sarah Noelle Pratt Ferguson) Subject: Sarah Concert @ Warfield The Sarah McLachlan concert last night at the Warfield was Wonderful. The Devlins opened, and I thought they sucked (because of lame lyrics, mostly one-dimensional synth), but it was ok. The impression I had was a womyn of incredible strength and intelligence and talent. She seems to be left-handed (I don't know many other womyn who are), because she moved her hands through the air, dancing with them, the left more expressive than the right. Her hands were incredible. She played piano and electric and acoustic guitar, showing improv talent and finesse at each instrument. The power during the performance was wonderful and constant. She introduced some of her songs with background about what they were about. Wonderful. We gave her two encores or so, and after one of the encores she introduced the band and thanked the light/setup crew, and also talked about her experience on 105, being dj. She said many people were calling in and asking really personal questions. There was one guy in particular who asked if she had a boyfriend, and she launched into a long story about that. She said she was babbling, and she realized that she was on the radio and "people were listening". She thought, "No, I want to keep some of this." The show was kindof a Love Doctor show, which she wasn't expecting. She said she was thinking, "What if I say something that really screws them up?" Because people were calling in about what to do in relationships, what to do for the first sexual experience, etc. At some point she was referring to the person who asked if she had a boyfriend, and when she finished, a guy on the floor said, "Thanks a lot. That was me." We all laughed, and she said, "Well, there you go." :) I was _so_ impressed, and I loved her before. It was great to see her jamming on the electric guitar. So, eternum. -seanympf ======================================================================== Date: 25 May 94 15:05:39 EDT From: Mike Mendelson Subject: Hey, Little Bird! Ok, this is going to bug me forever or until someone can help jar my memory. I'm listening to Tom Waits Rain Dogs album, and here's a song I *know* I've heard before -- recently -- but I can't remember where. The song is called "Jockey Full of Bourbon" and the chorus -- very catchy -- goes like this: Hey little bird, fly away home Your house is on fire, your children are alone The only possibility I can think of is maybe the Otters play this song, in which case probably asking here is futile. But I'm far from certain.

Her hands were incredible. Well, she plays guitar right-handed.. I think those movements with her hands were her unconsciously playing air-guitar.. > The show was kindof a Love Doctor show, which she wasn't expecting. That's the "Modern Rock Doc Show" with Dr. Gene Schoenfeld (sp?). Every Monday night from 10PM-midnight Dr. Gene fields calls on subjects dear to Live 105 listeners' hearts and other body parts.. namely sex and drugs. He comes across as a very sensible guy on the radio, though Sarah mentioned at the concert that he was "a very bizarre man... you can tell he's done more than his share of drugs in his day.." This is, btw, the same show I faxed in the "did you listen to the Happy Rhodes CD yet?" to. Ditto on the wonderfulness of the concert. What a voice! The concert had its faults, though. For one thing, I have a problem with "scheduled encores". Sarah did three of them, and it seemed that they knew they were going to do three from the outset. Encores should be spontaneous and unscripted, otherwise they seem disingenuous IMHO. Also, the bass was overdriven. Still, I'm very glad I went. I also got to do a bit of Happyvangelizing.. the guy sitting next to me was a fan of female vocals, so I deluged him with suggestions, many of which he had never heard of (including Happy). He was amazed that I knew about Bel Canto! The volume of names I supplied him with will probably bend his credit to the breaking point. :) As for a song list.. I didn't keep one (I don't have _Touch_ yet, so I didn't recognize a few of the songs), but she played everything except "Circle" off FTE and about 2/3 of _Solace_. Someone called out for "Solsbury Hill", but she said "We only do covers once and then go on to something else." There was no cover, although the intro to "Into the Fire" at first sounded like "On Broadway" by Al Jarreau, followed by a sample of "awwwwww.... freak out!". That's about all I have to report. Whaddya think, sirs?

Sorry if you get it twice! --- Well, last night Sarah treated San Francisco to a great show that was a lot more satisfying than most of the concerts I've seen lately. Opening for her as usual were the Devlins, and I can echo the sentiments of others here who said that they're pleasant enough but nothing special. I summed them up rather quickly as Bryan Adams meets the Blue Nile (well, 1/2 talent isn't bad), and my friend Lisa and I and went outside for a beer during the second half of their set. You've heard all the Sarah concert stories already (the white banners, Sarah's carpet, Gorecki, the unique "FTE" ending), so I don't have that much to add. But, indulging two of my pet interests for a moment, I have to complement both the drummer (who was doing some terribly exciting work, particularly on "Hold On" and "Vox") and the lighting designer, who painted the performers *and* the stage brilliantly and who should be required to give taste lessons to Tori's lighting designer. :) Sarah's stage chat was similar to what we've heard about already. She seemed happy to be at the Warfield this time around: "Wow, this place is much bigger than Bimbo's! We *like* playing here!" She gave serious intros to "Good Enough," "Ice," and "Ben's Song" and rejected a request for "Solsbury Hill" in her usual fashion. The funniest moment of the show came during the second encore, when she talked about her appearance the previous night on Live 105's "Modern Rock Doc" show. She had thought that she was going in for an actual interview and was caught somewhat off-guard when people started phoning in with personal problems. "I barely said anything for the first half-hour, because I kept thinking, what if I give somebody some advice and really screw them up?!" (Unfortunately, I only listened to that first half-hour and gave up when it seemed that Sarah wasn't getting much air time.) She said that later someone called in and asked her if she was in a relationship, and she started going into intense detail, and then realized, "Wait a minute, I'm on the air! People are *listening* to this!" And as if on cue, a male voice from the orchestra section: "That was me!" Anyway, here's the setlist for those keeping score at home: Plenty, Drawn to the Rhythm, Good Enough, Lost, Wait, Home, Ice, Ben's Song, Fear, Out of the Shadows / I Will Not Forget You, Terms (The Path of Thorns), Hold On, Into the Fire, Possession --- Mary / Vox --- Ice Cream, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy I'd say "Don't miss this show!" except that the current leg of her tour is almost over (three more shows). She reminded us that she'll be back for another North American tour leg after a three-week break. I'll be there!

Barry McGuire, though I may have the spelling wrong. What *I* want to know is where to find a decent version of it on CD. I have an awful compilation called "Sixties Rule!" that has Barry doing it, but the version is pretty shaky. I'd also love to know about covers of this song.

I was on the island of Maui, and one of the things that people do when visiting there is to go up to Haleakala Crater to see the sunrise. The crater is slightly higher than 10,000 feet, and well above the cloud-line. I was staying at the foot of the road to the crater, and started out at about 4:30. This turned out to be a bit late, as the pre-sunrise colors were in full effect as I was approaching the peak. By the time I got there, the colors were pretty much done, but the sun hadn't actually risen yet. So I was hanging out with all these other cold people waiting for that magic moment, when I decided to turn around and see what the view was like facing the other way. Just as I turned around, the biggest meteor I have ever seen toar across the sky. We're not talking a pinhead followed by a thin tail, but something about more like the size of a dime with a huge tail behind it. Everyone must have thought I was crazy as I stood there with my mouth hanging open, facing away from the oncoming sunset. I think I was the only person up there to see it too. It was really remarkable. (Plus this ties in ok with John's updating the Hubble to photagraph the effects of the impact of the string-of-pearls comet hitting Jupiter.) Neal ======================================================================== Date: Wed, 25 May 94 16:43:59 CDT From: Ecto's self-styled expert on lots of stuff Subject: The reprieve and other stories After I'd read the day's incoming Ecto posts, I was bushwhacked by a LAN crash which I was confident would eventuate in the loss of same. Miraculously, it all was still there when I got back on. I have read that in some religions, people have been inspired to join the clergy by experiences such as this :-). Had I known that Frente was on Conan last night, I'd have made more of an eff- ort to stay awake despite being under the weather. The _Sun-Times_ carried a rather negative review of their album, and I wanted to form my own conclusions. What can anybody tell me about it? In any case, I look forward to fighting the good fight against sleep WRT Sam Philips' gig in the same forum tonight. Those of our friends who are in regular contact with Happy should implore her to implore the outfit in Albany who sent folk_music the info on her et al.'s concert there, to start supplying that list with whatever it was that they've been omitting from their concert info, whose absence was noted in the post to f_m which mjm (ah, alphabet soup! :-) ) reposted here recently. Any of our Northern Cal friends know whether Dr. Schoenfeld of _Modern Rock Doc_ (or whatever) is the same Eugene Schoenfeld who used to write the "Dr. Hip Pocrates" column in the _Berkeley Barb_ (or was it the _San Francisco Oracle_) during the golden age of the underground press? It was heartening to read that some of the cultural landmarks of my lost youth may still be around. WRT Chris' latest question on pop culture trivia: Barry McGuire recorded "Eve of Destruction" in 1965, only a couple of years before I first discovered Dr. Hip's column, and in the same year as Happy was born. (A few years ago, the title as recycled as a movie about a beautiful Hit Robot; but I never saw the movie, so I don't know if the song was recycled for it as well.) To the memory of Henry Morgan. Mitch ======================================================================== Date: Wed, 25 May 94 17:29:17 PDT From: Neal Copperman Subject: and a cool thing in my mailbox When I got back, amongst all the great ecto-mail, I found another cool thing. Someone (mjm?) had re-posted a note from the folk- music digest from Suzanne Vega. She was talking about the new-folk movement in New York that apparently Beck used to be a part of, as well as Cindy Lee Berryhill and others. Well, Cindy Lee is now basically a local artist in San Diego, playing out very infrequently. I've seen her attending more shows than she actually plays. Anyway, she just released a new album, which is pretty good, called CLB's Garage Orchestra. Lots of strange instrumentation and some pretty catchy tunes. Best line, "I want good luck, I want to walk through walls and not get stuck". When I've seen her, she's been playing with guitar, cello and percussion (including timpani). The record is on a small label (although I don't think it's local), called Cargo. Figuring this didn't make much of a national splash, I sent a lot of that info to Suzanne Vega. There was a nice thank you from her waiting in my mail box, and she forwarded the info to the folk music group. Cool, huh? Oh, and for a smidgin of entertainment, look in the new People Magazine for a letter to the editor from Anne Rice, knocking Tom Cruise. If your in a well stocked doctor's office (like I was) you can go back to the 50 beautiful people issue (with Meg Ryan on the cover), and read the gushing blurb about how Tom Cruise has fully demonstrated his wide range as an actor, and as proof they site his wearing women's underwear at some Harvard awards show, and talk about what a brilliant Lestat he is going to make. For some reason, Anne Rice took offence at this.

I sent him a Happy tape a while ago but he has only started DJing again. While talking to him for several hours last Sunday, while he was on the air, I told him he should play Happy, and so he will next week. :) So, if you are near Fredericksburgh, VA (around Richmond and northern Virgina he says): Happy Rhodes' "Feed The Fire" to be played by Damien on Sunday, May 29, between 9 and 11 pm (his shift is 9pm-2am) on 99.3 FM / 540 AM, WMWC from Mary Washington College. I have no idea if anyone on Ecto can hear this station; it is pretty small. If you can, call him or the assistant and say "I want to talk to Damien about Ecto", which is the code for them to know he should talk to you. :) You can even call him there after he is off the air since he will be around. Have to listen for the number though since I don't have it. I'll probably be on another line with him for quite a long while after he plays it since he loves to talk. If you don't talk to him it would be interesting just to know if you were able to get the station if you are in the area, so please email. While I was talking to him he got a request for Kate's "Sat In Your Lap" :), and I had him play Danielle Dax. He also played things like DCD, Tori, and others talked about here. He plays a wide variety of things beyond that too and often takes lots of requests if he's not on the phone with me... heh! Really though, he does. Oh, we chose "Feed the Fire" primarily because it would *seem* that Happy considers it good for airplay since it's on RhodeSongs twice. Hope someone here will hear it... and that yet more people will hear Happy for the first time!

Both are reviewed favorably with UTP getting an A- and FTE getting a B+. I'd be glad to transcribe the article if anyone's interested. On a similar topic, I popped in a local record shop last night to check for the "Past the Mission" singles, and they indeed had Part 1. However, they're charging a premium price for it ($12.98) as opposed to their regular import single price of $9.99. Has anyone else experienced this practice for this release? Oh yeah, I bought it anyway :). They also had another item, which was an import Cornflake Girl single, but unlike the single that predated the album (at least in the U.S.), this one is in the slim jewel box customary for imports. It has the same tracks as the other CG import and is marked "For promotional use only". Does anyone know if this is anything special that should be snatched up, or is it pretty common.

Before i go into my sentimental melodrama, i'd like to thanks all the warm, friendly ectophiles who have so graciously provided ecto-housing when i've visited them over the past year: Firstly the NY-philes... Sam Warren: Friendly, outgoing theater critic/music buff...thanks for having me over easter...it was cool to hang out in the big apple Christine Waite: The biologist with the heart of gold and the robyn hitchock videos (sorry if i misspelled his name)...keep playing that SNES!

John Ahrends (feynman) : The man who singledhandedly did something interesting to the irc.colorado.edu server....ask him about it if you see him around Kathy Fitzgherald (lovey): The lovely lovey person who kept me out of trouble and adminstered the Thorazine to me the times i got out of control. Go meet this interesting woman if you can...she'll keep you dancing at the clubs all night.... Brian Bloom (Moo-man): The one and only...and i'm not feeding you bull either. The premier owner of the "huge music collection" (inc. 8 Orb discs and 18 Cocteau Twins discs). What can I say, he's as interesting in real life as he is on #ecto. er....think i'll quit w/ the cursory generalizations now.... Also many thanks to the many ectophiles who have offered their friendship and support through the #ecto channel on IRC...getting stuck in a small college town (pop 5000) and not having IRC around would have been pretty horrendous. Just offhand I'd like to thank padruga,gouache,equipoise,nemesos,fili,jongleur,roxjox,grocible,flutterby harbinger, etc, etc for keeping life interesting..... Future plans (projected): well after this weekend i'd have graduated w/ a BA in psych/english and heading home to singapore to go into the army for 2.5 yrs or so...I prob won't have an account while i'm over there, but that's something i'm working on at the moment...my home is open to ectophiles who are in the area, although the only means of contacting me for the first couple of mths or so would be through snailmail or phone which is a follows: andy wee 50 andrew road singapore 1129 singapore phone: (65) 255-3371 and no, i don't own the entire street yet... :> as for the distant future, i'm hoping to get into an MA in creative writing prog in chicago...that's right, chicago...i dont care where....just chicago... so if there're any chicago-philes who like to keep in touch, i'm working on getting myself over there reeeal soon... for that matter anyone who'd like to send me snailmail, it generally costs about $0.50 in stamps to send a letter there via air-mail w/ a 1-week delivery time...i'll try to respond to whatever's sent to me.... mm...prob should get off moo's account now.... my acct at awee@austin.onu.edu should be active till memorial day, so i'll be able to respond to any correspondence up till that time... till then have a fruitful and ectophilic existence..... lots of *HUGS* andy wee awee@austin.onu.edu ======================================================================== The ecto archives are on hardees.rutgers.edu in ~ftp/pub/hr.
