Eat My Rubbers Re: Poi Dog ======================================================================== Subject: Too Many CDs From: gaffa@mind.org (Valerie Nozick) Date: Mon, 20 Sep 93 23:31:50 -0400 Sigh. A suggestion for all you ectophiles who have a fear of too many CDs to keep up with. (polydiscaphobia?) No matter what you do, do _not_ visit woj or meredith! I made that mistake a few weeks ago, and since have bought at least 12 CDs. Not only that, but they convinced me to buy a copy of the first Duran Duran album, just for the sake of completeness. And I love it. And, no, I haven't had a chance to listen to all my purchases yet. However, I did get a find the other day - bought a copy of Hounds of Love, the marbleized version, for $14. My other purchases have included Jane Siberry (as if I didn't already own the tape, which has already been given away to a friend who I turned on to her), Bjork (ditto on the tape), The Story, Kristen Bush & Andrew Hyra, RhodesSongs (which I picked up at Camelot, the biggest record chain around), and many other goodies. Can't say I regret it, though. Picked up the new dead can dance the other day, too...the 3 tracks I've heard are good. I reserve judgement on the rest. However, this album has the most beautiful packaging I have seen in a long time. Each image is striking and fascinating. Makes me wish I had an album version. *sigh* I love CDs, but I miss large cover art. Imagine a Happy picture that large (but then again, Vol. I etc. would look frightening).

I don't have the *slightest* idea who Red House >Painters are... has this been answered yet? i don't think so...rhp are a band from the san francisco area who caught ivo's ears, netting them a contract with 4ad records. they've two releases so far (sorta kinda self-titled though they are referred to as "bed" and "rollercoaster" for the cover artwork). musically, they fall somewhere between melancholy rock and etheriel gui- tars. a third release is coming soon (one of the more prolific 4ad acts, they are). i found the second release to be great, if long. however, i can't bring myself to criticize its length - i get so involved listening to that album that i hardly ever notice the 70 minutes it takes to get through its entirity. dixon@physics.berkeley.edu (David Dixon) sez: >Holly asked about Dead Can Dance & Jean-Michel Jarre. The best >album to cut your teeth on DCD is undoubtedly _A Passage in Time_, yeah, probably...though i do think that the songs suffer some for not being in their original environment. of course, with a $23 price tag per environ, it's not one that i'd want to randomly move into. :) >The only other album of theirs I have is the new one, _Into the >Labyrinth_ (which has some really beautiful songs on it, like "The >Carnival is Over"). i picked this up over the weekend (in fact, both meth and i picked up copies). the first listen was a wash as i zonked out on the floor. the second listen was much more rewarding as it brought back memories of the 1991 tour where a number of the songs on this album made debuts ("toward the within" being a primne example). i'm pretty pleased with _into the labyrinth_ though it needs more listens to sink in. the med- ieval feel of _aion_ is somewhat lost, but it more than makes up with a arabic feel which makes me very happy. >The rest of their albums are $23 each around here, and I'm just not >willing to shell out that kind of money just yet. there are persistant rumors that someday warner elektra atlantic will re-release american presings of those early albums. which reminds me: in november the long-awaited and often-denied this mortal coil reissues will appear on american soil. anthony@xymox.apana.org.au (Anthony Horan) sez: >Jane: Ilka asked whether she'd be touring Germany soon. Unfortunately, the >answer is no, unless the record starts selling. i've heard that this will be the general trend for the album (heard from a canadian record store manager who is also a janefan): there will be the odd occasional show but no organized tour. sigh.... >Margot: Finally, the answer to "will her album be out overseas?" The answer >is: she has no idea! But EMI still say "probably, one day". If I were you, >I'd import. :) of course *you* would suggest this since it gets you lots of cds from non-austrailan shores! >"Circus" - Not Drowning, Waving - Has anyone heard of this Melbourne band? i have the _claim_ lp and recall enjoying it. haven't seen too much else (in fact, nothing) around by them which i expected since a) i knew they were from down under and b) i knew that _claim_ didn't do all that well here in the states. what do mean you by when you say that _circus_ is "accessible"? mainstream accessible or pop accessible?

Has anybody heard it? Is it worth having? a quick matthew sweet history (i hope no one minds). he moved to athens in the early 80s sometime where he formed a band called oh ok with linda hopper (now of magnapop) and linda stipe (michael's sister, latest-ly of hetch hetchy). he then went on to do a band called buzz of delight which also included linda hopper and the drumemr from oh ok (damon pierce? i forget his name). after that, he did a couple solo albums before making it big with _girlfriend_. the first is self-titled and i think is on columbia. the second is called _insides_ and is on a&m. i often see this in bargain bins, so keep your eyes peeled there, jeffy. as for the good- ness of his earlier solo work, i can only say that the songs that i've heard him play live from before _girlfiend_ are pretty good. once of these days, i might pick up _insides_ if i've got money and nothing else to buy. on to more ectophilic items... susan voelz - 13 ribs: i was making an active effort to find this when vickie first mentioned it way back when but the stores i checked were unsurpringly clueless. this past weekend, miffed that the new haven sam goody's had neither _rhodesongs_ or either of saga's last two releases, i searched the stacks looking for a second cd to buy (i guess i was pretty fixated on buying two cds, huh?). just as i was about to give up and settle for one, i spotted the lone copy of this. it's on pravada records! wow! i thought they had gone under a while back, but i guess not...and a good thing as well since this is a marvy record. susan, if you've forgotten, was the violinist in poi dog pondering. after she left them, it seems she went to austin, texas and did some recording. this is the end result: kinda down home, but not in an annoying sense, music. i want to say this is analogous to tish hinojosa's mexican work, but that's not quite right. it is, however, the perfect kind of music to expect from texas in autumn. yummy...and ingrid karklins plays some violin too! whee! (i must confess: when i noticed that the album was recorded in austin, i scoured the credits looking for ingrid's name and was rewarded when i found her listed with the cactus cafe orchestra which provided string accompaniment for some songs. joan osbourne - blue million miles: wow. i dunno who this woman is, but it is *fantastic*. she's from new york and apparently blew the socks off some folks at the most recent new music seminar. musically, this is intriguing rock without an emphasis on the guitar (though she is a gui- tarist). the emphasis is on interesting instrumentation, her most exquisite and powerful voice and her lyrics. her songs deal with being a woman and all that it entails - the strength, the sensuality, the vulnerability. it's devastating. i *want* more. this is a three song ep and there's an order form for getting her other release, which is a live album called _soul show_ ($15 cd/$10 cassette from joan at po box 2596 nyc, ny 10009). i'll be doing this soon. you can also call 800/292-joan for more info and the like. oh, this ep is $5 from the same address. $1.50 postage per order. do yourself a favor and buy it. stereolab - transient random-noise bursts with announcements: other than long title of the week, this cd also boasts an accomplishment that not many bands can claim: they manage to ride the fine lines between the shoegazer thang, great pop music and preciousness. they bounce from song to song, switching from mellotrons to guitars without a shrug, churning out an interesting and engaging 62 minutes of fun! whee! honestly, i was not expecting this to be that great having enjoyed without being im- pressed their other work but this was a big surprise. they seem to be carving a niche for themselves in the music scene which was unexpected and welcome. for $3, it was a steal. it might even be worth full price to you. meryn cadell - bombazine: yum! i dunno why i never bought her first one, but i will some day. especially after enjoying this one as much as i did. i'm told that this release emphasizes songs more than the vocal pieces that made her first so offbeat...and i do wish that she did a few more of those spoken work type of things (something which is all to often lacking in pop music, discounting jello biafra and william burroughs and laurie anderson), but she gets enough of the weirdness and strange points of view into her song lyrics so it's not terrible by any stretch of the imagination. sally fingerett - ghost town girl: another release i was prepared not to like, but it snuck up on me and whapped me on the head. i'm not quite sure how to describe this - she's been part of the christine lavin cohort for a while, i guess but her music does not operate on that level. she's deeper in tone and more serious, perhaps, i don't know. in any event, it's rich and meaty and well-written. get this too. and that's it for now. g'nite. +woj ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 21 Sep 93 1:05:20 EDT From: WretchAwry Subject: Just...again (:-( and long) If I only could, I'd make a deal with...um...never mind, I don't believe, therefore it's moot. I got on-line not sure what I was going to post. Was it going to be a heartfelt apology w/explanation, or was it going to be a happy "forget-it-ever-happened" something or other. I posted to RDT as happy as a lark, but kept putting off posting to Ecto. I hate being sad here, yet I hate pretending nothing's wrong when it is. I keep checking the subscription list and I see new Ectophiles (hi, btw!) and wonder what in the world they're going to think. I wonder if I should put a :-( in the Subject Line whenever it's a "bad day" post, so they can be easily skipped. I should have done that last night, I will do it tonight. I don't have the energy to write as much as I'd like, but I'd like to tell a bit about what was going on with me last night. We (Chris, Charley and I) took our friend Tim to the airport, he was going back home to Kansas City, and I had just gotten home when I got on-line and read Steve's post. I was feeling bad, emotionally tense, and I sent off that self-derogatory post without even thinking about it. I regret it. Tim has AIDS, full blown AIDS. He spent about a week and a half up here and we had a *wonderful* time. We went to WOMAD, saw tons of movies, listened to hours of music, took him out to eat, and to go record shopping, and it was like the old days back in Kansas City. Tim's been our best friend since 1983. We shared a house for a couple of years, and he stayed with us whenever he needed a place to live for a while. Kate brought us together when a friend of ours saw Tim buying Kate LPs and said "You like Kate? You really oughta meet Chris and Vickie" and gave Tim our phone number. Chris and I had only been together for a few months and so he was "with us" from nearly the very beginning. I couldn't even begin to estimate the number of movies we've seen together, the number of albums we listened to together, the fun we had together. The 3 of us went to Winnipeg for BushCon84. We were the best of friends in Kansas City. We were practically the 3 Musketeers for quite a few years. For so many of our friends, it wasn't Chris'n'Vickie, it was Chris'n'Vickie 'n'Tim. (Though no, it was all strictly platonic) just because we hung around together so much. When we moved to Chicago, Charley became our "Chicago Tim" and filled a void in our lives. Not to take anything away from Charley, because he's a wonderful friend in his own right. I hadn't seen Tim since we moved to Chicago (in 1990) though we had talked on the phone. He never let on that he wasn't feeling well and we found out that he'd been ill for quite a while but refused to see a doctor. His parents finally forced the issue and he was diagnosed as having AIDS. He'd been HIV positive for years and hadn't known it. His theory is that he got it from a blood transfusion after a car accident in early 1983. When Chris told me I was devestated. I posted in Ecto about it, and your support meant a lot to me. What you didn't know was that I couldn't bring myself to call him after I found out. I couldn't do it, I just couldn't do it. Chris relayed my love whenever he went down to Kansas City, but I knew it wasn't the same as if I'd called or written myself. I hated myself for being such a wimp. When I heard that Tim was coming up to visit I was sure that he'd be mad at me but he wasn't. We hugged, and everything was fine. I was shocked at his appearance, but I didn't say anything. He was always so...rotund, shall we say...and he was just skin and bones. He can walk, but not long and not far, and he walks a bit stooped over. He was always the one who only had 2 modes, music and movie laid back, and go rush go. It was so painful to see the physical changes in him, but once he was here, it was just like old times, devouring music and movies. It was heaven to know that he was having such a good time while in Chicago. I wanted to ask him a lot of questions, and talk to him about AIDS, but I never did. Mainly because he wanted to come to Chicago to get away from doctors and hospitals and medication and everything related to his illness. I decided not to bring it up, and only talk about it if he wanted to, and brought it up himself. I did ask him if he was in pain, and he said no, thank goodness. The only other time he brought it up was when he showed us his bottle of AZT and told us that it cost $300.00 a bottle! He'd been off it the whole time he was up here, and he said he felt better than he had since before he started taking it. (The doctors wanted him off all medication so that when he returned from Chicago they could put him in the hospital, he goes in tomorrow, and start from scratch trying new medications. All the old medication had to be out of his system, and I think it was liberating for him not to have to constantly take pills, especially after he found out that he felt better without them. I do wish he could have stayed longer, but he was due to go into the hospital so he had to leave. I almost didn't go to the airport with them, because I didn't want to break down in front of Tim. I went into the bedroom with Chris as Tim was packing his stuff and cried. That helped to relieve some of the tension, and Charley talked me into going. I'm glad I did. We went out to eat, had a nice meal, then went on to the airport. I found a wheelchair for Tim and we headed for the gate. They were boarding when we got there, so we only had enough time for a hug and a goodbye. I have to say that I'm really glad about that, because I absolutely didn't want to break down in front of Tim. Chris said that Tim has been trying to maintain a positive attitude and since he'd had such a great time in Chicago, it would have made Tim sad to see me cry. Tim knew how I felt though, I could feel it in his hug and see it in his eyes during the goodbye. I may never see Tim again. No one knows exactly how much longer he has left to live. As I said before, words cannot express... It's been a wonderful week, with very sad undertones, and the final parting was excrutiating, but I didn't cry in front of Tim. I thought sure I'd break down, but I didn't, and I'm very proud of myself. If you can imagine what kind of mood I was in when I got home from the airport, sad, tense...then perhaps you'll understand my little outburst. That doesn't explain it all though, not the self-hatred and the need to beat up myself in "public." All the way home I was thinking about Tim and the knowledge that he's going to die soon, and not knowing why these things have to happen. My thoughts turned to my own problems and I felt so selfish, so awful. I was in a turmoil, because my problems seem so trivial compared to Tim's. I thought about the stupidity of being sucidal, thinking about it, plotting it, wishing I had the nerve, when Tim is going to die and doesn't want to. I *hated* myself for being so selfish, and by the time I got home I was such despair, in the very depths of self-hatred and even hating myself for thinking about hating myself because I should have been thinking about Tim and it seemed so awful that I once again was being selfish. None of that makes much sense, and it's hard to articulate, but well, you saw the results in my posting. Thank goodness I quit when i did, because I don't know *what* all might have spewed out. "Normal" people don't hate themselves as much as I do, but I'm far and away from being "normal" and hating myself is "normal" for me. In the light of day, I realize once again that it's the depression talking. Clinical depression. What a bitch. Did you know that in a poll something like 43% of the respondants said that Depression was a "character weakness" or something like that? That's just the kind of thing that somone suffering from Depression doesn't need to hear. :-/ It's real, and it's something I *don't* want, and it's something that could kill me, so I have to take it seriously and not shove it away...try to shove it away...and pretend it doesn't exist. I don't know...I have a lot on my mind yet I can't seem to think how to articulate any of it. My mind's a jumble, so I'll quit now. I have to think about how I feel about Tim's situation and my situation. Neither makes sense. *HUGS* for you all (and myself too) Yours, in extreme fuzziness (but not the warm, blue kind) Vickie "It lay buried here, it lay deep inside me it's so deep I don't think that I can speak about it...can you tell it to your heart?

I lovelovelove "Summer" and the cover photo and the inside photos and the song selection and the lineup and every single thing ('cept maybe the pink) about it. It's a *wonderful* thing! Happy also sent me Mitch Elrod's album, but I haven't listened to it yet. Charley came over and he borrowed it. Speaking of Charley, he sent Mary Coughlin an Equipoise via Express Mail (or Federal Express, can't remember) to give to Neil Jordan. He called Mary's tour manager (the one who asked if I wanted to interview her) while they were in New York and told him the story. Jim gave Charley an address where they'd be sure to get it. Charley wrote a nice, chatty letter to Mary explaining everything and asking her to pass it on to Jordan. If everything worked out and she got it, we're almost certain that she would give it to him. I guess we won't know until something happens, or we contact Mary to ask her. If Neil Jordan ever uses Happy's music, Charley gets the credit!

Ren: Look, Steempy, eet's the new Kate Bush seengle. Stimpy: Will ya buy it, Ren? Huh, huh, huh? Ren: OK, Steempy. Stimpy: Happy, happy, joy, joy! You're my bestest pal, Ren. Ren: Shut up, Steempy. [Later, at home] Stimpy: I wanna put on the CD, Ren. Ren: Go ahead, Steempy, calm down. ["Eat the Music" comes on. Stimpy bounces around the room. Ren sits there tapping his fingers.] Stimpy: She sure is pretty, Ren. Ren: I'm bored, Stimpy. [The "Eat the Music Excessive 12-inch Mix" comes on. Stimpy keeps bouncing around the room. Ren continues to tap his fingers. After a minute he starts to sag visibly. By the end of the song he is a small puddle on the floor. Suddenly he springs back to his original shape and exclaims:] Ren: Steempy, you fat bloated eedeeot! That was the most boring piece of music I've ever heard! How did you ever talk me into buying thees? [Then "Big Stripey Lie" comes on. Suddenly both Ren and Stimpy freeze in place. As the song begins, the background fades away. A gigantic wavy line shoots out of the infinite distance, and with a horrible impression of speed both are carried along it. Soon they are deposited in the center of a ring of dancing surreal tiki-like figures, all facing outwards, who suddenly turn inwards, produce trumpets, and begin blowing. Ren and Stimpy develop fascinating standing wave patterns which crawl around their skins, growing in amplitude until their bodies dissolve into a shower of particles. Cut to a jungle scene. A rainshower has begun, and as the rain falls the bodies of Ren and Stimpy reform from raindrops. They lay prone on the jungle floor. Just as they try to get up a stampede of wild animals runs over them, trailed by a tiny screeching monkey with the face of Kate Bush. They pull their trampled bodies off the ground and run panicking through the trees as the light fades. When it is so dark that only their eyes are visible, they suddenly plummet through a field of stars and onto the wavy line, which carries them back to their living room. The song ends.] Ren: Steempy, what heet me. Stimpy: Wow, Ren, she really is. Happy. Happy. Joy . . . joy. [Collapses.] [They lay unconscious on the floor as "Candle in the Wind" begins to play. It does not rouse them.] ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 21 Sep 93 10:58:07 MET DST From: Albert Philipsen Subject: I want to hear "Summer" The CD store in Amsterdam that had a copy of _Equipoise_ two weeks ago, now carries all of Happy's albums.

For that new person who is at Northwestern, you could get both this and ETM at Dr. Wax on Dempster just West of Chicago in Evanston... they had a few copies of each. (It's a block from where I live... so you could stop by and say hello if you're there!) My considered opinion: Eat the Music kicks Rubberband Girl's butt! IOW: I like ETM way more than RG. Actually, the more I listen to ETM, the more I like it. I don't mind either version. Bill at the store flashed the promo cassette of the Complete Red Shoes album in my face. He said it is very good, and 4 songs were standouts for him. I asked him which songs and he pointed to 4 titles, none of which were on any of the CD5s. So if he is right, this will be yet another landmark production for KT. Dr. Wax also has a bunch of Kate boots, if you're into that type of thing. Me, I'll stick with my groovy Sarah Sneakers. Also, I just returned from Canada with the Possession CD5. Yummy stuff, boys and girls. I esp. like the Jane Mix. Is that the Jane I'm thinking of....? Nawwww, couldn't be.
