They surely do remind me of 10,000 Maniacs...I'm still not sure if I like it. I also got the _Captive_ soundtrack. Again, Sinead's _Heroine_ is nothing to go crazy about, much unlike _Damn your Eyes_ and _The value of Ignorance_ that appear on the _Three Babies_ maxi-single. And for some Happy content, Vol. II and Rearmament are beginning to captivate me.

Bppth! Pfft! Blfp! Take a two week vacation, and return to a huge backlog of mail (>200 messages, 450Kbytes, 3/4 from Ecto: The Mailing List) and Usenet news. My mind is mush! Just a few days ago, I was deep in the wilderness, thoroughly enjoying an 11-day backpacking trip, blissfully as far away as possible from computers, work, news (this year, Soviet coup; last year, Kuwait invasion; next year, Happy gets major recording contract from the squids?!!), even recorded music. Anyway, on with some Happy stuff. Once more, I will run through my Happy albums, trying to pay more attention to the lyrics this time. Following the text for Volume I, I found a few typos in the lyrics sheet. Since I haven't seen any other comments about them, I'll list them here: _Number One_, third line: 'These hand' should be 'These hands' _I'm Not Awake, I'm Not Asleep_, second line: 'sqeezed' should be 'squeezed' _The First to Cry_, ninth line: 'somone' should be 'someone' eleventh line: 'sombody' should be 'somebody' I know. Picky, picky, picky! Onto Volume II!! The great name controversy rages on! For naming we fans, I will withdraw my suggestion of Ectotians in favor of Ectophiles. Otherwise, we can have Ecto: The Album, Ecto: The Mailing List, Ecto: The Magazine, Ecto: The T-shirt, Ecto: The Record Company (oops, that already has a name!), Ecto: The Book, Ecto: The Ginsu Knife, Ecto: The Diet. Coming soon, Ecto: The Movie. I wonder who H&K would like to have play their roles in the movie. Watch for the cameo appearance from Vickie, playing herself! (By the way, I'm more than half- serious about the naming suggestion). By the way, did anyone ever send the ordering information to the guy who asked for it in his rec.music.cd post?

I'm envious of all of you who can see groups like Mouth Music roll through your area. Looking at their posted schedule shows a big hole over the Rocky Mountain region. As far as 'alternative' (whatever that means) music, this is a cultural desert. The campus radio station just eliminated its only adventurous music show (broadcast at midnight, after my bedtime unfortunately), leaving just one semi-alternative music station in the Denver area. For a college town, Fort Collins doesn't even have a decent record store for such music! Sigh! Live concerts around here are usually for second-echelon groups, and even when a good group accidentally ends up in the Front Range, promotion is so low-key that by the time I hear about it, it's too late to plan to go all the way down to Denver or Boulder. Enjoy what you have. For me, double-sigh!!

Got this bit of e-mail tonight: -------------------------------------------- Happy Rhodes: As I told you, the radio station KKSF has a quarterly newsletter that is free at many record stores, including Tower. Each issue has a list of thirty to forty albums that were recently added to their playlist. I was quite surprised to see "HAPPY RHODES WARPAINT AURAL GRATIFICATION" in the list. They give a phone number for information about where the records on their playlist can be found (many are quite obscure). So I called, and eventually a recording told me that _Warpaint_ was in fairly high rotation, and that "only one store in the Bay Area carries it: Rough Trade, on Haight near Ashbury in San Francisco." So I went the next day to check this store out. Indeed, they do have it, but they keep it behind the counter, not out on the racks, so you have to ask for it. At least, that was my experience. KKSF calls its format "Music Without Borders". They play mostly light jazz, with some new age and some light rock. Their playlist is definitely one of the most eclectic I've seen for a commercial station. No Kate though, except for "The Man With. . ." occasionally. (I asked.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- That came from Ed Suranyi. He didn't say, but I assume he went ahead and bought Warpaint. He said he sent this information to the fellow in rec.music.cd so it has been passed along. Klaus, I still haven't written down my Happy story. I will I will I really really will. I don't know if it will make any sense, but I will. Barry! A tape is in the process of being on its way to you. Maybe at some point I'll do another SIG Pass-Along and limit it to Ectophiles. Jessica, Mike had the same problem when he called Schubas here in Chicago. The person he talked to didn't know what they were talking about. Try again at a different time. I just can't imagine that Mouth Music wouldn't play NYC. Doug, I understand about being in a live-performance wasteland. When we lived in Kansas City, Chris & I had to fly up to Chicago to see Jane Siberry and the Bulgarian Chorus in concert. I'm a firm believer in "count your blessings" sentiments. I'm studying hard for my cameo appearance in Ecto:The Movie. Scene 104 Fade in: Woman stands forlornly on corner. It's winter. Very cold, blowing snow (blizzard-like conditions) She wails "PLEAAAAAAASE!" "PLLLLLLLEEEEEAAAASE BUY HAPPY RHODES!" Fade out. Scene 256 Fade in: Woman (now known as "Vickie") is mingling at lively party with all the new-found Happy Rhodes fans. She beams. Furiously shaking everyone's hands and gushing "THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!" Fade out. I'm practicing my wailing and beaming in anticipation :-) Ecto Ginsu knives? "Cuts through that plasm like nobody's business! Now how much would you pay?

Vickie posted about this ages ago, but I've been so irregular in which posts I've saved, and their content is usually indecipherable from the subject lines since Vickie packs so much info to each 'n every post. Anyway. I'm not quite positive of the first half of the line, but I'm quite certain about the second half: after the verses, the line is, "C'mon babe [this is the echo-y part] it's time for a deep sweep." I can think of a few intepretations for this line, including, "C'mon, it's time to sweep up and make the place presentable for guests" and "sweep the cobwebs out of our heads after this long sleep" and so on and so forth. At the end of the song, the repeated line is "We're breaking up cranium keep, we're waking up after the sleep." I have no idea what she means by 'cranium keep'; it's a very weird phrase. In fact, it sounds more like she's saying "cranium key" but I'm quite certain I remember Vickie posting that it was "keep," which, of course, was passed on from Happy. I suppose that one way to interpret the line would be as "breaking away from that which is constricting my brain." Anybody else got some thoughts on this?

Could you re-post the info so I can add it to my copy? ========================================================================== Hello! Welcome all newcomers to Happy Rhodes. Yes, it's her real name. Her full name is Happy Tyler Rhodes. She's 26 years old, born August 9, 1965. The address to order Happy's music is: The discography: Happy Rhodes c/o Aural Gratification 1) Rhodes Vol. I (1986) P.O. Box 8658 2) Rhodes Vol. II (1986) Academy Station 3) Rearmament (1986) Albany, NY 12208 4) Ecto (1987) 5) Warpaint (1991) 1-4 are only available on cassette 5 available on CD and cassette The CD is $13.99 Postage for one CD is $2.00 The tapes are $9.99 each Postage for one tape is $1.50 Each additional tape is $ .35 apiece If you were to buy just the 4 tapes, the total postage would be $2.55. For the CD and all 4 tapes, postage would be $3.40. Price in English pounds is: 8 pounds per cassette (postage included) 11 pounds per CD (postage included) As to which one to get? That's a toughie, because they're all excellent. There's a huge difference between 1 and 5, and the progression is evident in the middle three. If you asked the people in the mailing list, you'd get lots of different answers. One suggestion would be to start with 1 and 5, and if you like them, you will almost certainly like the middle three. It's just about impossible to know what different people will like, but those 2 will let you hear where Happy started and where she's at now. No, I take that back. Her 6th album will (from hints we've gotten) probably be very different from Warpaint. FYI, if you ask Happy to autograph the tapes and/or CD, she will! Happy does not yet have a recording contract. All her music has been released so far on Aural Gratification, a home-operation run by Happy and her partner Kevin Bartlett. Kevin started the label to release his own music, then added Happy after they met. The first 4 albums were recorded by Happy, all alone in the studio. She played acoustic guitar and keyboards and used lots of overdubs. She produced them all herself and even engineered quite a few of the songs. Warpaint is more professionally recorded (she and Kevin took out a bank loan to make sure it was as high-quality they could possibly make it) and uses more musicians, though it's mainly just her and Kevin. They also co-produced the album. She was a very lonely child and has always been a loner. She suffered from depression as an adolescent and teenager and sought solace and help in the music she listened to (Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Bach) and in writing songs herself. She "wrote out" the demons in her mind, never guessing that the songs would someday end up on albums that would be cherished by other people. Happy is an interesting, intelligent, singer/songwriter/musician who cares deeply about her music and makes music to last, music that matters. Happy's lyrics can sear your heart and soul in its intensity and introspectiveness. Her lyrics are very often dark and are nearly all autobiographical, but they are almost all about emotions. Human emotions are universal, so many of her songs touch nerves in other people too. Many of her songs are about depression, some are about suicidal feelings and some are cynical, but there are also songs about hope and light, with a "you must love yourself before anyone else can love you" point of view. She does have a sense of humor, and it comes out in a few songs, but most of her songs are very serious. Not that they are all slow, dirge-like ballads. Many songs are fast-paced and very melodic. You could enjoy the music and Happy's voice(s) without ever paying attention to the lyrics. The lyrics add another layer to be fascinated by if you choose to delve further, though. Her voice is truly amazing. She has an incredible range, from very, very high (not soprano, though) to a beautiful mid-range to a low, low (lower than Annie Lennox) voice. Happy's fan base is small but growing and it's exciting to see how she's progressing and to "be with her" at each step of her career. Happy Rhodes fans are very passionate about promoting her music. Record companies have ignored her (and, so far, continue to) I think because they don't really know what to do with her. She can't be easily put into a box and labled. We all think that it's extremely unfair and wrong that she's unknown and obscure. We want to change that :-) It's only at a small grass-roots level at the moment, but will grow as more people become aware of Happy, fall in love with her music, and care enough to spread the word about her.

Cranium *keep* makes more sense though, so I just chalk it up to her enunciation. My own interpretation is that it refers to the junk you keep in your brain that sometimes congeals and hardens into inflexable atitudes. Something like that, anyway. In case anyone was interested in what song it was that I played for Gregory Bossert and Mark Semich, it was "Don't Want To Hear It" which is one I usually have cued up :-) Jessica, I asked Happy and she said that the negative for the Ecto-era photo should be sent to you pronto.

On sunday I was listening to 'Star Sat Radio' by chance (there was only sports on the other radio channels), and they were transmitting from IFA in Berlin ("Internationale Funkausstellung", a huge faire for TV, video,radio,...). It attracted about 500.000 people in 10 days and nearly all german radio and tv stations were doing live programs there. What catched my ear was that they were playing and interviewing an artist (I didn't catch the name) who doesn't have a record contract and was doing a CD with the help of some friends. Somehow they got the moderators attention so they were invited to the show. BTW the music was quite good, but I thought "this could have been Happy" (correction: replace 'could' with 'should'). Of course I don't know if somebody else was listening, and unfortunately I won't know if this performance had any positive effect because I don't know the guys name, but what a chance. Vickie, I'm preparing some more detailed thoughts and questions about promotions like that.

Collins , Mary (M.L.) Rowe From: Michael (M.M.Y.) Hui Subject: Jane Siberry Concert Review Sender: Michael (M.M.Y.) Hui Sunday night in Toronto's Mariposa Folk and Roots Music Festival, Jane Siberry was the closing act for the festival. _____________________________________________________________________ I saw it last night. She played four songs from her upcoming album. I was not impressed, since her style stayed the same, the songs were less creative and all relied on her by-now trademark soft-to-loud approach. I think she has slipped a bit in her quality standard. The audience as usual gave her a standing ovation, more out of respect for her past accomplishments rather than for what she played that night, IMHO. A good number of them never even applauded. I applauded, but never stood up. The cast included the guitar player from time eternal (Myer) and the piano player from the last tour (Teddy), plus a very fat, rather old backup singer who doesn't do a good job at all but is a good showman and gets big bear hugs from Jane, much undeserved, and also an unknown (to me) bass and drums player. The bass and drum players may not be a permanent addition to her band. No old songs were performed at all. The one thing I wouldn't crap about is the musicianship of the performers, plus the highly polished sound they managed to create. I didn't photograph or recorded anything. There certainly was nothing so extraordinary that's worthy of a bootleg. The next album is being recorded in Vancouver, and will definitely come out some time, and Jane said that regardless of whether the audience like the songs that night, the songs will be on the album anyway. I think she's getting a bit too self-assured for her own good.

We've now gotten reliable information on all the lines except "the echo-y part." I'd still be interested in what that really says. To quote Jeff again: >Anybody else got some thoughts on this?

I 'll say what I hear: 'Cobwebs, cobwebs, cob-cob-webs- it's time for a deep sweep' which kind of makes sense. Sweep away the cobwebs. Any takers?

Over the weekend, I went to see the Art Institute of Chicago's exhibit "Degenerate Art," named after an exhibit organized in 1937 by the Nazi regime in Germany, which consisted of abstract (and thus politically incorrect, by brownshirt standards) works that the regime had seized. In addition to displaying works from the 1937 exhibit, the current exhibit included material on the political persecution of artists, writers and composers. As I went through the section on book burning, etc., I couldn't help but be struck by the relevance to the whole thing of Happy's song "Words Weren't Made For Cowards." (By an interesting coincidence, the music for this song--as well as that for "Lay Me Down," also on _Warpaint_--seems to me very reminiscent of the music of Kurt Weill, who also fled the Nazis during the period in question.) In a period when free expression is again under attack from both ends of the political spectrum, I think the message that should be gleaned from the Happy discography is this: don't wait to "wak[e] up after the sleep," but rather "if you feel anything be brave, come forth, let it show."
