The show was taped this past Wednesday, but they did not mention when it would be aired. Keep an eye out for it. It's funny to hear them promoting her on a station which a short while ago literally played a half hour block of Led Zeppelin EVERY weekday!!

Any suggestions? :) I have a suggestion for a group with three vocalists. Unfortunately, they just broke up, so they only have two recordings out. From Cleveland, they're Odd Girl Out. The lead singer decided to go off on her own, which is a huge shame, because they were very tight as a group. The harmonies were excellent, and were always a crowd pleaser. If I had to compare, think of lyrics _like_ The Indigo Girls, but with better (!) vocals. Three part harmony is wonderful. Before they split, they were looking for a fourth, but that might not happen now. I suspect, though, that OGO will continue, just without the lead singer (I wish I could remember her name). The other two are good friends, so they will _probably_ continue. Just thought you'd like to know.

I'm on my second cup of coffee for the morning, so I should be able to get to all the responses :) Ariel wrote: >When I Was A Boy takes some getting used to. It's not a very accessible >work, but once you've gotten into it, it's in your blood and won't get out. Hmmm. I'll have to give it a second try, then. Damon and I are opposites in this respect: he enjoys electronic-sounding music and I really enjoy bare-bones stuff (athough he somehow managed to make me a Kate Bush tape that I loved :) ). Lyrics vs. Beat: >I'm one of the lyric people, but I do know that most people tend to get >into the music and the beat before the lyrics. That's why so many really >popular songs have such pathetic lyrics. Me, I CAN'T enjoy a song without Maybe it's also why the "fast" songs tend to be more popular on the radio than the slow ones? I've always loved the quiet slow songs over the fast ones with a beat (I can't think of one "fast" song, in fact, that I've ever liked a lot). >good lyrics, whereas good lyrics can turn a song from one on my hate list >to one one my "Drooool" list. Agreed! It was one of the things that made me love Ani Difranco -- the first time I heard her Not So Soft album I sat there thinking, "Oh, yuck, what IS this?" and then when I'd listened to the lyrics and realized how interesting they were I completely turned around.

Otherwise, I have to get hooked into by the beat, >textures, harmony, vocals, etc, before I bother to listen to it Oh -- wait -- I forgot about harmony :). If I hear something on the radio and I can't particularly understand the words, it's the harmony that gets me. But if I find out later that there isn't any substance to the lyrics, I get bored really quickly. Neile wrote: >Wow--I'm the exact opposite to most of you. For me it's the sound first >and then the lyrics. Good lyrics (like Jane's) add to the magic to me, >and really awful lyrics can sometimes ruin a song for me--but mediocre >music always will. Do you like to sing? A friend of mine and I in junior high had really really disparate tastes in music and we were talking about it one day. Realized that while she loved to dance to the music she heard, I loved to sing to it, and as a result it was the beat that captured her and the lyrics that captured me. I was horrified to find out that she didn't even KNOW the lyrics to most of the songs she liked :)! Of course *grin* this was probably a blessing -- somewhere in my head taking up room are the lyrics to Wham!'s "Wake me up before you go-go"... >Part of the problem is that most lyrics don't seem that interesting to >me--so many are built either of cliches or stream of consciousness stuff >that doesn't add up to much. Sometimes the music can fill in the blanks Eeek, really? I mean, I agree that this is extremely true of top 40 music, but of ecto stuff? Can you name a particular song that you really love the lyrics to? >Jewel is an exception to me for this--I wasn't wildly fond of her music, >but her clever lyrics wormed their way into my heart.

Whenever I hear a song like this I imagine the singer in the studio, singing it overandoverandoveragain, looking as bored as I feel *grin*.

Do you like talk shows now, too?? Seriously, I do know what you mean, weirdly enough. I have to admit to a secret (please don't kick me out of ecto!) enjoyment of Amy Grant's voice, although the beat and words are so ghastly that I can't listen to more than 30 seconds before I have to turn off the radio. >oh, and i know some of tori's songs are stories >in that sense too, but i guess the other thing i don't like is the abstract >nature of her tellings... the story doesn't have to make sense, really, but >i like imagery in a more concrete manner than tori does it. hmmm... was >that at all clear to anyone? Yup, and I find myself feeling that way about Tori's music as well. I guess I get frustrated, when there's *so much* behind the story, and maybe that's because I'm a writer...? Like: tell the whole story or don't tell it at all. Or something.

The contents of these tapes are listed at the end of this note. Note that the Radio Tour IV tape has been beefed up since the last announcement (as I warned it would be). Note the Radio Tour V tape is currently just a partial tape, which should be filled out with new future Happy Rhodes radio appear- ances! Note that this includes the official listing of the 1995 Happy Birthday Project tapes, and I'd personally like to thank all of the con- tributors! If you are unfamiliar with the tape dubbing project, you should find the Tape Dubbing Project FAQ somewhere around this post. If after reading it, you have further questions, just ask! The new (or changed) tapes are: Happy Rhodes Radio Tour IV Recordings of radio interviews of Happy Rhodes on 21 Feb 1995 on WFUV in New York NY USA, 10 Mar 1995 on the World Cafe (though more a radio concert than interview -- much recommended!), and 17 Jun 1995 on WPKN in Bridgeport CT USA. Submitted and/or recorded by Meredith Tarr, Sherry McGuire, and Mike Weis. The Innocence Mission live! 4 Apr 1995 Tin Angel Philadelphia PA A fine quality recording, submitted by (I forgot! :( If you did, please let me know!) Happy Rhodes Radio Tour V Recordings of radio interview on 19 May 1995 on WPKN in Bridgeport CT USA. Submitted by Mike Weis. (Note this tape is under half full, and will be filled in the future). 1995 Happy Birthday Project I 1995 Happy Birthday Project II Yet another wide-ranging collection of music and best wishes sent to Happy Rhodes on her 30th birthday. You will never find these artists on a single tape anywhere else in the known (or even unknown) universe. Submitted by Doug Burks. Tori Amos Covered I'm sure this type of tape has a word, but I cannot think of it -- a collection of Tori Amos songs performed or re-jiggered by her Internet fans. Submitted by Marcel Rijs.

The list includes a lot of Happy Rhodes interviews, concerts, etc., plus a wide (amazingly wide) range of Ecto artists. The included listing gives a short descrip- tion of each tape. If you want the full content listing for any or all of these tapes, please e-mail me. Besides, each ordered tape comes com- plete with a full cassette label. * Sounds great! How do I get a copy of any or all of these tapes? Three methods are available for getting the tapes: * Establish a cassette account. 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 just e-mail me, and I will fill your order as soon as possible without your mailing me anything. In this case, I would dip into my own supply of medium-quality 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 will be added. * Establish a cassette account, as in 1, except that I will purchase whatever 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 currently $1.23 each. The packaging for mailing the cassettes is between $0.36 and $0.62, depending on the number of tapes mailed. The postage varies accor- ding to the number of tapes and the destination. So far, it has ranged between $1.01 and $16.70. Big help, eh? If you wish a more precise esti- mate of your postage costs, 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 2223 NW 59th St #2 Seattle WA 98107 USA Orders will be processed in the order I get them, with special dispensa- tion for foreign orders. Please note that I will not process any e-mail orders unless you have an open cassette account. * Who can take advantage of the tape dubbing project? Any and all Ectophiles can place an order, but only Ectophiles are eligi- ble. However, Ectophiles can place orders for friends. Please do not spread word of this outside the Ecto mailing list. This is not meant as elitism, simply a practically matter of keeping orders at a manageable level. * Can I add a tape to the tape dubbing project? If you have a tape or three that you would like to add, just ask yourself the simple question, "Would other Ectophiles like to hear this?" If you are uncertain, trying asking Ecto itself. In either case, if the answer is "Yes", I will be happy to add it. I have a loose policy of giving two free tapes from the project for every single tape submitted. However, please restrict yourself to contributing tapes which are either signifi- cantly different or of better sound quality than what already is in the project. For one example, the five tapes of Tori Amos' 1992 concerts are two or three too many. * 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! * Tape listing 1991 Happy Gift Project 1991 I (C-100) 1991 Happy Gift Project 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. Submitted by Vickie Mapes. 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 both as originally recorded and in the context of the interview.

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). Happy Rhodes Live! Joyous Lake Woodstock NY 11 Aug 1994 Tape recording by woj of Happy's 45min long concert. The recording quality is acceptable. The usual restrictions for concert recordings apply here.

The "Last" Champagne Jam 15 May 1992 I (C-100) The "Last" Champagne Jam 15 May 1992 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 her first five 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.

As always, it is a wild, wonderful, and occasionally weird collection of music. Submitted by Doug Burks. Nordic Sampler I (C-100) Nordic Sampler II (C-100) A sampler of Scandinavian female vocalists selected by the Nordic Ecto Conspiracy. A wide range of styles and music. 1993 Happy Gift Project I (C-90) 1993 Happy Gift Project II (C-90) These are songs selected by Ectophiles as a holiday gift for Happy. Ho, hum, another fascinating varied collection of odd music ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime. Submitted by Doug Burks.
