World Cafe is out of WXPN here in Philly. An amazing coincidence, or perhaps even the same recording. If it is, that's Kelley Bird singing along with Happy.

They opened up with Thela Hun Gingeet - (forgive me if I can't spell if off the top of my head) an old toon... and then rocked on with stuff from their "back catalog" working up until they broke into the new tune "Dinosaur" which was appropriate because the audience made up of I would guess 70% male - "hippie" types -roughly translated to guys with long hair and tye dye (my favorite type :-) ) and their dates... and then .... me!! singing along with the tunes at the top of my lungs..... it was almost another musical religious experience only because it's been close to 10 years since I've last seen Crimso... I have to sit and think a bit before I could write a true set list... but interesting tidbits about this show in particular - was that it was the 100th show of the tour - and the last one at that. They are done for now and said they would be back in the summer. This makes perfect sense because Adrian Belew makes his home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin last I heard. In the 2nd encore - a most touching and very surprising rendition of John Lennon's version of "Free As A Bird" (the new "Beatles" tune currently circulating the airwaves) - the version missing the bridge that McCartney wrote.... in other words... Belew must have heard the same bootleg that the other Beatlenuts including myself have heard. Talk about my jaw hitting the concrete with little pools of drool flowing out.... I think maybe 2 people got the "joke" when Belew went to sing the bridge and instead of words he just sang "whatever happened to...... mmm.mmmmmmm ..." Anyway...... It was an incredible evening of music..... and if it makes me a dinosaur because I love this progrok stuff... I'll wear my suit proudly thank y ou - just don't call me "Barney" (*laugh*)!!!! someday i want a glow-in-the-dark orange Strat just like belew plays... :-)` "Close your eyes and look at me ..

Unfortunately I still have a huge backlog. So I don't want to clutter your mailbox too much. In the last weeks we were lucky to see two concerts of Bobo In White Wooden Houses. After I wasn't too much in favour of the new album, the tour was a big surprise. The live arrangements were sooo good! I'll soon forward a concert tape to Doug. The concert tape hasn't left the player in the car for more than a month. In the meantime you could check out concert reports on the White Wooden Website: http://www.wupper.de/white-house/conrep.html A CD which is constantly playing is "paradise in me" by the belgian band "K's Choice" (formerly "The Choice"). Not only the usual alternative guitar band with female vocals, but with a great voice, catchy melodies and even good lyrics. What more can you ask for? Well, maybe that it will be released outside of Europe.

In addition to my entry for Black, a few days ago (okay, more than a week ago), I heard from someone he appeared on British TV (BBC 1 or 2), giving an interview about his current goings-on. I don't know anything more than that. Did anyone see this interview, or could someone give me an address to contact the "Beeb" myself to find out more? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Those interested in a Black FAQ, check my hot new homepage at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/marcel . It was published just yesterday and boy am I excited to finally have a virtual home! (although it looks like a shack for now... :-) ************** Name of artist: SAM BROWN Country of origin: England, UK Type of music: pop/rock, singer/songwriter Covers/own material: Most songs are own material, some covers do show up here and there. See also: Vicki Brown, Black. Comparisons: --- General comments: --- Recommended first album: 43 minutes. Most 'ecto-ish' album, IMHO. Recordings: 1. Stop (1988) 2. April moon (1990) 3. 43 minutes (1992) Label: 1 & 2: A&M records 3: Pod music (independent) Cat.no.: 1. 395195-2 (Europe) 2. 397036 2 (Europe) 3. Podcd 1 (UK) Availability: 3. Has been deleted. 1 & 2 are widely available in UK and Europe (or so I'm told.) Group members: Sam Brown (vocals & piano), and a host of session musicians. Guest artists: ? Producer: Pete Brown & Sam Brown. Comments:- Sam Brown is the daughter of Vicki Brown, who was well-known for her singing of arrangements of classical music in the "The Young... [fill in composer]" series. Sam's career started rocketing in 1988 with her second single, the title track off her debut album "Stop", which was a number one hit in various European countries. The debut album sold really well and achieved the gold or platinum status here and there. Four singles were taken off the album, from which only "Stop" and "This feeling" were big successes. The 1st and 4th singles "Walking back to me" and "Can I get a witness" were not as successful. Which was probably a sign of things to come. No hit singles were taken off "April moon", her second album, despite very attractive limited edition 7"-singles and a heap of unreleased tracks on the CD-singles released in the UK. The album showed a greater diversity musically. Tracks like "As one" and "Where you are" were shifting towards more piano-oriented songs, when most of the material was still guitar-oriented. In 1990/91 Vicki Brown died of cancer, after a hopeful recovery of this tragic disease. This must have been a traumatic experience for Sam, if one has to go by her work. She recorded "43 minutes", a very personal collection of songs, most of which dealt with this tragedy in a direct way. For some reason A&M didn't approve of this album and after a legal fight Sam could get the audio tapes back from the record company and release the album independently. It was released in 1992 in the UK, and one year later, through a distribution deal with Koch International records, in Europe. If you're not touched by the music of this album, you're probably made of stone. What happened to Sam is not known. She surfaced as a backing singer on "The division bell" by Pink Floyd, but there's no news of any solo material. Which is a shame, really... ************* Comments, questions, additions? Email me!

Lunsford & T. O'Reilly" Date: Thu, 30 Nov 1995 15:25:27 +0000 Subject: Sarah McLachlan - interview Hi everyone, It snowed last night! Hurrah! :^) I am a happy camper. And I was looking through some old tapes just now, trying to find one I'd made years ago and found something completely unexpected. In 1992, Todd and I were in Boston on Newbury Street, and went into a very weird little arty store to see if there was anything we wanted, and they had free cassette tapes sitting by the cash register. I picked one up and we took it home with us, and never did listen to it. Just now I found it again, and it turns out that it's an interview with Sarah McLachlan, it says on the front "An oceanside interview with Sarah McLachlan featuring music from her new album Solace" which was quite surprising. So anyway, I'm writing to say that whoever wants it can have it -- it doesn't really hold any interest for me (I like her music quite a bit but interviews with artists generally seem to say the same sorts of things) and I figured there might be someone on the ecto list who would like it. If you're interested, let me know and I'd be happy to send it on.

Hurrah! :^) I am a happy camper. And I was > looking through some old tapes just now, trying to find one I'd made > years ago and found something completely unexpected. Ah! Lucky, lucky you. It's still waiting to snow here in Cincinnati (well, more properly, here in Covington, which is where I'm (supposed to be) working currently. At any rate, over the last few mornings, the amount of morning car-frost on my coworker's car has increased greatly, and when I got up it was trying to sleet, but stopped. I wish it would just hurry up and get it over with. I'm still a city boy, I guess, and unused to snow. I look forward to it all year. It's just so... I dunno. Wonderful, I guess. Fleur bought the new Loreena McKennitt Christmas-song CD, and I guess I'm getting softer in my old age, 'cause I'm enjoying it. My usual policy on Christmas music is to grump about it until December 18th or so, when it becomes pretty pointless. The stores around here had Christmas stuff up about a week before Thanksgiving. Rather depressing, really. I'm especially glad I brought my two Ani diFranco CDs to work today ("Puddle Dive" and "Like I Said"), as they got me through some frustrating times. It's not fair to be the only person working through a power outage on the network! I'll have to see Ani the next time she comes through. I narrowly missed her last time, buying the first CD just a few days after she had been at some place downtown. Ah, well. I'm also keeping an eye out for Tracy Chapman -- she's touring, and although I caught her self-arranged tour earlier this year, I'd still like to see her again. - -- r. n. dominick -- cinnamon@one.net -- http://w3.one.net/~cinnamon/ i breathe too much anyway; i can do that any day... ------------------------------ From: damon harper Date: Thu, 30 Nov 1995 14:02:02 -0800 Subject: Re: New Loreena McKennit >I haven't seen this mentioned here yet....

Yeah, when I saw them the night *before* the song was premiered on the Beatles Anthology, Belew sang that in the middle of the show, saying he'd had a copy of the demo for a long time and wanted to give us a sneak preview. Nobody in the audience actually believed he was telling the truth, but the next night we knew he really wasn't kidding. It was hysterical. (A friend of mine who saw them back in August heard him perform it then, too.) "Free As A Bird" was the only quiet song of the night. Yeeeepers. Loudest show I've *ever* been to -- it was physically painful to be in the hall, and as a result I really didn't enjoy myself at all. Pity, because it really was a great show... mjm chided: > Of course you meant "I Will Not Forget You" (from Solace). Question is, > is remembering the same as not forgetting? ;-) Bzzzt. Sarah has a single out from the soundtrack to the movie The Brothers McMullen called "I Will Remember You". It's doing quite well on the charts, I do believe, and supposedly there's a video for it, but I don't know anyone who's seen it. It's not one of her best, but it's a nice little song nonetheless. and... > I haven't seen this mentioned here yet....
