"Trigger Fables" is now almost three years old. I completely lost track of them once they disappeared from Nettwerk site. The same goes for the other ex-Lava Hay, Suzanne Little...

Just to say that I will now HAVE to go out and get "Strange Angels"! "Hips & Makers" is one of my favourite albums of recent years. I'd never been a Throwing Muses fan, but I heard "Your Ghost" at a Torifest in Germany a few years ago (Hi Ilka! Hi Klaus! Hi everybody!!) and was completely suckered immediately. And the old ecto-synchronicity strikes, coz I was reading the paper on my way into work this morning (Saturday working - boo!) and saw an advert for a Kristin concert at the Barbican Centre here in London on the 19th March!! It looks like it _could_ be part of an American singer-songwriters series or something. Also coming up in London are concerts by Morcheeba (27th March) - well worth listening to, I've really got into their first album recently and the new one is out soon - and Ani DiFranco on 21st February. Don't think I'll get to all these but I sure as hell will get to at least one! I've been going through a live music drought of late, think I need to break out of it. Talking of Ani, I just picked up "Living In Clip" secondhand from CD Warehouse for 9pounds - pretty good deal I think. OK, that's all from me for now - I'll slink back into the shadows. Cheers, Martin ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Feb 1998 12:35:28 -0000 From: "Bridges, Martin (Exchange)" Subject: RE: Wall 'o Sound: Skunk Anansie? Hi all, Ron Starr said: > As long as wall-o-sound music has come up (Sleater-Kinney), would > anyone > recommend (or not recommend) Skunk Anansie? > I quite liked SA's first album "Paranoid and Sunburnt" - it had a couple of cracking tracks, "Weak" comes to mind. The lead singer, Skin, has an amazingly powerful and versatile voice which works particularly well on that track. A few of the other tracks were too straight-ahead metal for me these days. Haven't heard anything off their second album "Stoosh" but it got pretty good reviews, at least here in the UK. Hope this helps, Martin ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Feb 1998 10:33:04 EST From: Riphug@aol.com Subject: ATT: Sarah McLachlan Fans Posted on the FTE (Sarah McLachlan) mailing list: <> ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Feb 1998 13:07:57 -0500 (EST) From: "Mark Anthony Miazga" Subject: Billie Myers > She's starting to grow on me......and I think the reason she's been compared > to Tracy Chapman and Toni Child is because of her low voice. Not nearly as > low as that Kiss the Rain girl......(can't think of her name right now). I think her name is Billie Myers. I've been meaning to ask this list about her for a while now. How is she? It took me so long to realize that "Kiss the Rain" was by a girl (she sounds a little like the lead singer of Sponge to me), and I'm wondering how the rest of her sound is. That song is fairly good, even though it veers into overproduction at times. Still, her voice is really intriguing. mark - -- Mark A.

I sent in an order from Australia for Spine about 3 and a half weeks ago, and I'm wondering how much longer I have to wait. Any information would be most appreciated!
