Oh come now. Milla doing hideous, largely nude fashion spreads isn't anything new. They've been around for years. REmember those hideous pictures in Bikini? I was still in CA then, so it was over 3 years ago. > Neal reported: > > >Next show I'll be at is the Bruford, Levin, Torn one at the Birchmere on > >Wednesday. > > If that was even half the experience their Toad's Place show was on Monday, > then I'm sure you enjoyed yourself immensely. Yow. I didn't expect to love > it nearly as much as I did. Tamar and I were one of I think five women in > the entire place, too. Not an experience I'm used to at a music event. :) It was a damn fine show indeed. I saw Crimson last year, and they went on some long, meandering roads where I completely lost them. This never happened at this show, which means something, I guess. (not sure what thouogh.) I loved being able to see everything that was going on, which was not possible at the Crimson show. Also, I was totally amazed at what a great addition a trumpeter was. I had some ideas of what sort of noise Bruford/Levin/Torn would make, and they pretty much delivered on that, but Chris Botti on trumpet was completely unexpected. He was a very lyrical player too, and had great interplay with everyone. A very strong addition. I thought I was completely unfamiliar with him, but sure enough, a quick check turned him up on albums by Joy Askew and Ivy. Anyone heard any of his solo stuff? And why is the whole Crimson collective thought of as male music? They definitely seem to be sparsely attended by women. I know I've seen it explained around here before, but how does a Chapman Stick work again? And was that thing that David Torn played for a while really some sort of mutant lute? > >Sat May 2: Projekt 2 (Fripp/Belew) at Bohagers (have tix for this) > > They'll be at Toad's the following Monday -- we've got tix to that too. > I'm really looking forward to it.

Apparently, that's becoming a minority view. I haven't heard either of her albums, but like Alan, I wouldn't bother based on seeing her open for David Massingell around the time of her first album. My experience wasn't as bad as his, but I found her almost completely bland and uninteresting, but not without a spark of hope. The final song she played caught me by surprise, because I actually liked it. It was beautiful and powerful. I'd heard that her second disc was much stronger than her first. I have liked her as a backup singer though, on Dar William's and Richard Shindell albums.

Ick, I hate the Capitol Ballroom! It takes a lot to lure me down there. In fact, the last thing that lured me down there was Bjork on Post, and it certainly wasn't worth it. Well, almost worht it for It's Oh So Quiet, my first exposure to the song, which completely blew me away. BUt it was about the only moment of the evening I was fond of. > np: daniel lanois, for the beauty of wynona Nice album :) I had Andy Stochansky's album in my car the other day. I have a CD changer, and when I first fill it up, I can never remember what discs I've stuck in there. The worst part is that it often takes me a hard time to figure it out. It kept shuffling to that disc, particularly the song Take THe Wheel, and all I could think was Daniel Lanois. Also kept hitting Leonor by Kaitell Keinig. After 3 listens, I had convinced myself it must be Ivy before I looked at it. I had only recently gotten Jet. It's been pretty well known as a killer album, and it's made a good early impression on me too. Another disc I got fairly recently that I was unfamiliar with was Patty Larkin's Perishable Fruit. I only knew her from her few songs on the first Bitchin Babes disc, which are fun, but not mind-boggling. Fruit, on the other hand, is full of some really spectacular stuff. It's so much denser and complex than I expected. Are her other albums like this? Paul - Patty Griffin looks almost guaranteed to me. I was pleased to see her back in town so soon. Did you go to Holly McNarland? How was it? I got the dates confused. Duh.

As a follow-up to my previous two messages... www.lilithfair.excite.com is not yet working. lilithfair.excite.com *is* working, but it overloaded like you won't believe. The amount of data we're pumping through here is insane. Accordingly, there are a lot of refused connections because of the load. Here are the two press releases, if you're interested. I won't post the list for each city, as there are so many stops on the way. Anyway, this is *not* an official proclamation from Nettwerk or anything - I'm just forwarding some files off the Web site.
