John, You guessed right. She got married. She's taking her husband's name professionally partly becaue she was sick of everyone calling her "Pepper Action", like it was a bad band name. So that's why. Of course, since she's changed her name professionally, everyone is asking her if she's related to Rose McGowan (the twentysomething actress who is dating Marilyn Manson and has appeared in "Scream", "Jawbreaker", and others). For Pepper fans, she's recently received the clearance to start her followup to her excellent debut album "Marrow" (named *cheap plug alert*, by the way, on my Top Ten of 1998 list located at http://www.msu.edu/~miazgama/bestof1998.htm), and is about the record. I think that's what she said. She's got a huge reportoire of songs that didn't make it on 'Marrow'. Also, the web page (http://pepper.by.net) will also be updated soon. I've already booked her for my coffeehouse, as she'll be opening for local favorite Lori Amey (side note: to all those I said I'd send you Lori's stuff, I still am, but her second CD is coming out Friday, so I figured I'd send that material instead. So be patient.).

The ecto contingent (Jeff, Craig, Bill Adler and spouse (whose name I embarrasedly forget), Emily Perkins, and me) made up a sizable chunk of the steady audience. Lynn's performance would, in less expert hands, have seemed ditzy, but was weirdly wonderful. The audience had these little booklets with the complete songlist, lyrics, and crossreferences. (I kept expect to be told "Please turn to page 17 and rise for "With Louise".) The other players were equally goofy and expert. Being unfamiliar with her work up until now, with the exception of a couple listens to "7=49", I'll leave it to others to review the gig more cogently -- but suffice it to say that I grabbed copies of "The Complete Shotgun Wedding", "The Later Moon 7 Times", and collected comix bags as soon as the show ended. Now if i can get a hypnotist to merge the memory of this gig in my head with the memory of seeing Laterna in Gaithersburg, I can convince myself that I've seen Area :-) n.p.

Anyone around here know anyone who would like to switch X tickets? X sold out Wed, Thurs, and Friday... and I'd like Friday night tickets and trade my Thursday night seats so I can see the fabulous Milla instead. I want to see both X and Milla and if push comes to shove, I don't know how I can convince my bf that Milla will be better worth the evening than X Aaaaah shit Ack!! Please help!!

The other players were equally goofy and expert. What a great way to describe it. Lynn often seemed to be in a world all her own, a world where her pet birds occasionally took on more importance to the audience -- something which seemed to be even more endearing than if she'd been sucking up to us. > Being unfamiliar with her work up until now, with the exception of a > couple listens to "7=49", I'll leave it to others to review the gig > more cogently Oooh, what a _great_ show. I'd have to express just a hint of disappointment that there wasn't more material from _Sunburnt_, which is my favorite of the discs Lynn has been involved with. She played "Further" and also "Fat Dog" from that release, during a long subset of songs about animals (also including "Straw Donkey" from M7x, "Firefly," "Inside Only Cat," and "A Big World of Fun" from the Shotgun Wedding release). In fact, the most-visited album was _A Big World of Fun_, not surprisng as Lynn claims it as her favorite. Still, she managed to also get to "Radio Caroline," "The Perfect Dream" (with the sublime "With Louise"), "M7x," and "7=49" in addition to the other couple... It's decidedly odd to see Lynn, who has pretty much always been in these lush guitar-heavy bands, touring with just keys and horns (and occasional percussive bits 'n pieces). Bill played alto and...er..some other range sax, clarinet, flute, and accordion, while Jesse played lots of keys. Lynn mostly just sang, but also did a few hooter solos (with a horner melodica that looked just like one we had kickin' around the house when I was a kid!) and played a few of the percussive bits. The arrangements of the songs, not surprisingly, were often drastically different from their original incarnations, but I don't think any of them suffered for being turned inside out. The musicians were all first-rate, clearly enjoying themselves and the show they were putting on for us. See this tour. Buy lots of albums from her. They're _all_ good. ;-) According to Joe, Lynn did a major doubletake when I started singing along to "With Louise." After the show, she asked my name, and when I told her, she said, "OH! I _knew_ it was you!" Kinda scary. ;-) jeff np: _Gentle Entropy_, Joe Zitt - -- |Jeffrey C.
