The album > credits the book as the inspiration though. Neal, You are absolutely correct. As you said, "Moon Over Bourbon Street" predates the movie version of "Interview With The Vampire". I had forgotten that "MOBS" was on "The Dream Of The Blue Turtles" (1985). That "good song" had already long existed and was inspired, as you say, by the book not the movie adaptation. I'm not certain what Joanna was originally trying to say with her statement. Perhaps she was implying that since Sting didn't get the part of Lestat in the movie, he could be happy that he had written a song that was inspired by Anne Rice's work. Obviously though, this is pure speculation on my part. Joanna?

I was unfamiliar with Cate Blanchett prior to this movie. The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music has a catagory called "Beautiful & Fierce". That is how I would describe Ms. Blanchett's performance in "Elizabeth". I look forward to seeing her in another role. Bill n.p. Mythos _Mythos_ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 20:51:05 +0000 From: "Tim" Subject: Ani in Melbourne Okay, this is a copy of my review of Ani DiFranco's performance in Melbourne, originally written for a friend: - --------------------------- Finally, the big news: I saw Ani last night! It was absolutely amazing! I took a sceptical friend and he walked away a convert. And this person was very sceptical so that's saying something. It was at this place called The Palais, which is actually a bit like a theatre. Everyone was sitting down but it didn't matter because of the enormous energy of both the crowd and the band. The place was pretty big considering how unknown she is, but she's in the charts now after all! Anyway, she came on and the first song she did was Little Plastic Castles, which was fantastic, even without the horns. She had this funny homemade guitar and was just jumping all around the stage. Of course the audience loved it because, as Little Plastic Castle was the first cd released here after Living In Clip, everyone knew it. This segued into Fuel, which was even more funky than on cd. She stopped at the line "We know the difference between the font of twenty percent more" and just started talking along to the groove, apologising for taking a break so early and then launching into an improvised spoken word piece about fonts. It was both amazing and hysterically funny. Next up was Jukebox, which, like all the songs on Upx6, was much better than on the album. I think that's because the band (excepting the drummer) were the same people who did it on the album, so they had the added intensity and rapport with each other that you just didn't get on the album, where the songs were played as they had been live, but in a static studio environment. Virtue was next, and has improved in leaps and bounds, being centered around a slightly different groove which flows better. Still, as with all the Upx6 songs, it was more like the album version than any of her older stuff. Virtue, amazingly, turned into Know Now Then without even changing the backing music, and because Ani's singing was given bigger prominence it was quite haunting. Then she played a new song, Providence, which was gutwrenchingly powerful, the emotional intensity of the songs from Dilate matched with the visceral music of the songs from NAPG. I started to lose track of the song order from there, but she did a very funky version of Letter To A John, which turned into Pulse (don't ask me how), which had people in the audience laughing and sometimes crying. Her version of 32 Flavours was so different that I thought it was Pixie until she started singing. The groove based sound she often tried to aim for seemed to cast Ani more in the light of a poet than a singer, which was weird, but meant you took more notice of the little stories in the songs, some becoming very very funny where on record they were serious, even though she didn't change the words. You Had Time, like most of the ballads, was quite similar to the album version, and was of course stunningly beautiful. Not A Pretty Girl, on the other hand, turned into an all out thrash, while Two Little Girls was both thrash and funk, plus odd quiet bits thrown in. She performed Coming Up straight, as on Imperfectly but without the double vocals, and while she did it all the lights on stage went out except for a spotlight, and I don't know why but it was an absolutely amazing moment. At one point most of the band left except for Julie (the keyboardist) and they performed a fantastic duet on Angry Anymore with just guitar and accordian, before which Ani was making all these jokes about there being a Gay Pride march the next day, and saying that she and Julie would sing a big gay song (which I don't quite get, except that they sounded a bit like Indigo Girls while doing the duet). Then even Julie left and Ani performed Up Up..., which, despite not having that power-ballad moment, worked better than on the album, because the rest of it didn't sound so dissonant. The band came back and performed a new song I didn't catch the name on, with Ani on an electric guitar and using lots of distortion pedals. Shy had people on the sides (who had discreetly gotten up to dance after about the second song) throwing themselves around. It was very snarky, if you know what I mean. Anticipate, from the second album, was halfway between rock and groove, and was fantastic. I never really liked it on record, but I'm a changed man. Finally she announced that she would be playing only one more song, and started up a groove that I assumed would turn into Hat Shaped Hat, but she kept delaying the song itself, walking around and talking about the band and getting everyone to applaud them, making jokes and doing little dances. Finally after about ten minutes the song actually started and to my surprise it was In Or Out! Albeit a very different In Or Out than I was used to, as it was one of the funkiest songs she played. Then she performed a verse a cappela, and finally a thrash verse which was like the album version a bit, but much harder. Then, with a tense crescendo, they finished, bowed, and walked off. Only a few minutes passed, though, when they came back to perform an absolutely beautiful version of Overlap. And then it was over. Definitely the best concert I have *ever* been to (admittedly not that many), but one of the things that definitely made it was the atmosphere. Not only was Ani very funny, but there was this great energy about the entire band, especially Julie, and one of the highlights was the on-stage banter between them. Of course, if Ani ever lost her music (heaven forbid) she could also make a comfortable living as a comedian, and the fact that she mixed music with attitude and thoughtfulness made for a great, well-rounded concert.

The two microphones (front stage right & left) that are pointed at the audience are actually for Margo's benefit. Now that she's using "in ear" monitors, the earpieces act as earplugs to all ambient room sound & she was unable to hear audience response. So, the monitor engineer uses those mics to mix some room sound into her monitor mix allowing her to experience audience response as well as the monitor mix. It's a big help in staying "connected" to the audience. :-) As the Cowboy Junkies conclude their tour down under, the crew will remain in Australia. So happens the CJ's crew hook up with Jewel as she begins her world tour in Australia at the end of this month. They'll continue the world tour with her. Both tours were planned to allow this particular crew to smoothly transition between both tours.

As I understand it, Michael Timmins records all of their shows. That's why the "200 More Miles" album has such a breadth of material. I really can't imagine them releasing a second live album so soon after "200 More Miles". Live albums don't tend to sell as well as studio albums. :/ /nad ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 11:45:29 -0500 (EST) From: "Donald G. Keller" Subject: Mila Drumke Reading meth's belated review of the Mila Drumke show at Arlene's a bit ago reminded me that I'd never written down my own thoughts, so I'll seize the opportunity to piggyback on hers. I got to the show when Deni Bonet was nearly done; she was in the midst of an extended, electric, echoplexed violin cadenza, with genuine bits of Bach unaccompanied partita and lots of rapid bow work. I think Lili Haydn is the best classical-style violinist I've seen in a pop context (Lyris Hung of Mila Drumke's band is in a different category), but I found Bonet's playing very impressive. Anyone who knows me will understand that a song with the keyline "I want sunshine all the time" (as in the song that followed) is unlikely to be to my taste. But it was the last one. It's taken me a long time to get the message about Mila Drumke; her music doesn't have much edge to my ear, and her harmonic palette is very cloudy and elusive, and early on I found her only mildly interesting. But I've persisted, and after she did a very good set opening for Veda Hille a few months ago at Mercury Lounge I borrowed meth&woj's copy of her album =Illinois= and found myself playing it quite a bit. She's got a rich, smooth, strong voice (a little reminiscent of Sarah McLachlan to me), and my taste for bossa nova and similar kinds of pop-jazz began to make some inroads in what she was doing; and I came to the show intending to buy my own copy of the album (which I did, and I'm still playing it a lot). It was another fine set, highlighted by two consecutive songs, one of them being "Constance" (which had come to be a favorite, obviously one of the best songs on the album), with its lovely vocal filigree between lines of lyrics and its subtle shifting between various species of triple time (3/4, 6/8, etc.). This live version was just superb; the turbulence of the long middle section was played up and dramatized (with tremendous work by drummer Mark Sacco) to the point where I was quite transported. (I was interested to see when I got the album home that Sacco has a co-writing credit on the song, which is well-deserved. It's kind of like the way David Narcizo worked with Kristin Hersh in Throwing Muses.) The other song (whose title I don't know; it's unrecorded) features Drumke on second, high-capoed bass, and is very dark and angular, with a very King Crimson instrumental bridge (stalking triple time with one missing beat). Much more to my taste than most of her material, though I recognize it's probably not a direction she'll pursue frequently. The rest of the set was very fine, though I hope one day I'll get to see her do her wonderful cover of Kate Bush's "Under the Ivy" (a favorite of mine which serves as the perfect coda to =Illinois=). I figure to be at the next Mila Drumke show as well. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 13:51:53 -0500 From: Paul Blair Subject: Re: Mila Drumke I just had to respond to this message of Don's, particularly since we were both at the same show and, as meth noted, we shook hands and didn't immediately disappear in a burst of gamma radiation.

But it was the last one. Ditto to all of this. I think I came in before Don, and wasn't too impressed by some of the lyrics of the earlier songs either. This aspect of cheesiness got underscored by the fact that visually Deni often reminded me of Brenda Vaccaro with a violin. But that cadenza was great. >It's taken me a long time to get the message about Mila Drumke; her music >doesn't have much edge to my ear, and her harmonic palette is very cloudy >and elusive, and early on I found her only mildly interesting. This must be where Don and I part company--I generally don't care much for most "edge," and I *like* a cloudy and elusive harmonic palette. >This live version was just superb; the turbulence >of the long middle section was played up and dramatized (with tremendous >work by drummer Mark Sacco) to the point where I was quite transported. Mila has worked with various drummers at different times, but Mark is her regular drummer and my favorite. She's really quite fortunate to have him in her band. >The other song (whose title I don't know; it's unrecorded) features Drumke >on second, high-capoed bass, and is very dark and angular, with a very King >Crimson instrumental bridge (stalking triple time with one missing beat). >Much >more to my taste than most of her material, though I recognize it's probably >not a direction she'll pursue frequently. From set lists I've seen, this song didn't have a name for a long time. The set list for the current show called it "All Fours." Mila's now playing two new (i.e., unrecorded) songs at her shows: that and "Indiana." They make for an interesting contrast: I can summon up the tune of "All Fours" from memory at will, and could from the first time I heard it, whereas two minutes after "Indiana" is over I already can't remember how it goes. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 13:00:50 -0800 From: Bill Mazur Subject: Re: Cate/Movie ?
