I'm >really looking forward to seeing Veda Hille, but as usual I'll let my cohorts >do the post-show gushing. well, alright. twist my arm. last night was actually the second scrappy show night in a row for meredith and me. she already posted about the monday night show at the mercury lounge in nyc, so i guess i'll give y'all the rundown on the tuesday night shindig. foolish humans that we are (not that there's anything wrong with that), we drove up to northampton, massachusetts to see their show at the iron horse. it was a long night (longest for me -- i got home at 3am!), but (as i said) i'm foolish and like doing this kind of stuff. after the lil'scrappy skit, kinnie starr started the show. having skipped her set the night before, i was pretty curious about what she'd be like. turned out to be pretty good. i'd picked up her album, _tidy_, last week so i knew what to expect -- a mix of electric guitar song-writer type stuff, spoken word and a wee bit o'rap -- but i wasn't sure how well it would map to a one-woman performance. turns out to work well live, especially the spoken word stuff. a sorta hybrid between maggie estep and ani difranco, with all the implications that entails, if that helps people to place kinnie on the musical map. liked her live stuff enough to want to go back to the record, so i guess it worked well enough. veda was up next and she was brilliant. a mostly-different set from the night before -- only two songs in common ("slumber queen" and "bellyfishing" if i remember correctly). she played the group of seven song - -- the piano part of which is just plain heartacheingly gorgeous -- from the emily carr cycle. it was the first night on the tour she played on a real piano (the iron horse's steinway, or "cadillac" as she called it), so she was having lots of fun. it's really amazing to watch her play because her songs are so effortless, so beautiful, so lyrical. her music is really something special. oh susanna finished up this evening. i imagine that i'll be losing ecto-cred by saying so, but i liked her set too. her doom and gloom country folk may not be an appropriate closer and her guitar skills may be lacking but, for some reason, i like what she does. the combination of her powerful voice and stark, simple guitar playing gets under my skin. plus, i have to admire someone who has the gall to follow kinnie and veda, knowing full well that most of the people she is playing to are not going to react favorably and not giving a flying fuck. eat your heart out johnny rotten -- oh susanna is way more punk than thou! tip o'the hat and happy birthday to paul kim who sat at the table in front of us! woj n.p. lhasa -- la llorona ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Oct 1997 20:35:46 -0400 From: dee zed stroke zero one five Subject: Re: Dear Janes also sprach Horter3@aol.com: >So was it here that I read about the Dear Janes? did i ever post a review of _no skin_? probably not -- i wasn't terribly communicative the first half of this year... i saw _no skin_ in a cutout bin way back at the beginning of the year and passed it over, though it looked interesting (too pricey for an unknown band, i think was the reason). then, in march, i saw them play a number of times opening for robyn hitchcock and rather enjoyed their set, so i went back and picked up the album. turns out i like their live performance better, but i still want to hang on to the record for a couple songs ("10 milligram girl" springs to mind). woj n.p. kinnie starr -- tidy p.s. rumor has it that portishead's new one is going to be album of the year. haven't heard it yet, so i can not comment. yet. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Oct 1997 18:45:47 From: Carolyn Andre Subject: Re: Upcoming Mary Coughlan dates At 12:55 PM 10/1/97 +0000, Charleydarbo wrote: >Anyone within walking or crawling or carried-on=96a-stretcher distance >needs to get themselves to these places at these times.

Black's "Holy Ground" album -- Coughlan's rendition truly strikes the emotions of this song about domestic violence; Black's is more of a 'broken relationship' reading) and ... there's still a chance to win one of 5 autographed copies of Mary Coughlan's new album by answering the trivia questions on my contest page: http://house-of-music.com/music/mcwin.shtml > > >--charley > > Regards, | Support Independent Music!

To be specific, it was winter of '95. I was the one who'd set that up. All told there were actually about 40 dates all across the country. Only 8, though, were actually in living rooms. Others were in churches, museums, recital halls, historical buildings, etc. It was neat in that the fans who brought him to their towns really wanted to put him in an environment that they felt would inspire his performance. BTW, is there a digest version of this? If so, how does one sign up for it? Didn't see any guidelines in the welcome message.
