Its cold here but with a promise of spring I guess I'll have to hold on.Have bought way, way too many cds as ever. Is there a cure? Ectophiles anonymous? I dont think I want it anyway. So here's some thing I got.. Dido "No Angel" Very soft, but not boring stuff. Here with Me is very angelic and floaty in a nice way. Resembles a softer Beth Orton to these ears. Mary Jane Lamond "Suas e!" Nice trad stuff, sung in gaelic. I've seen it mentioned here a few times. Edwyn Collins "Gorgeous George" Great lyrics, hummable tunes with hooks that stick with you. Furslide "Adventure" Odd combination of long guitar solos and trip-hoppy moods. Nice vocals by Jennifer Turner. Like a less annoying Skunk Anansie with good production. The seemingly endless guitar solos get on my nerves though. Anna Maria np-Wendy Rule-Zero nr-Jerry Seinfeld-SeinLanguage __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Most of Happy's > albums seem to be music that only a fan could really love... Hmm. That seems like a strange comment to me. The first time I ever heard Happy, I fell in love with her voice. I have kept my eyes open (checking cd stores, eBay, and on-line vendors) and recently was lucky and Happy to complete my library of her album cd's. I have never *not* immediately enjoyed her music ~ each and every cd. So yes, I am a fan, but in the other sense, I loved her music before I became a full-blown "fan." And I wouldn't ever understand how someone could listen to her and not enjoy her talent immensely.

I purchased a complication CD with one of their songs, "White Sail" on it. Wow! That song has enthralling lyrics and a simply stupendous melody. From what I heard, it sounds like the Cowboy Junkies are distant (but not too distant) cousins of October Project. After listening to this one song, I realized I had to hear more...and more is on its way. - --Bill Bill Adler www.adlerbooks.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 21:36:56 CDT From: "ReNeE-z Da bOmB" Subject: [none] How can you say that Dido is like beth Orten?? Dido is so much diffrent... Beth's songs tend to sound the same, where Dido does a veriaty of different sounds on her album... i am not knocking beth.. but really! ~renee N.P. cast recording of Company ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 22:39:48 -0500 From: meredith Subject: Re: Mute Cute Girl Hi!

Thanks for the endorsement, Steve! :) In case anyone out there was waffling on whether or not to make the trek to New Haven on March 26th, allow me to sweeten the deal a bit. (I still can't quite believe this is happening) SARAH HARMER has been added to the bill!!!! Yes, that's Leslie Feist, Sarah Harmer, and Sarah Slean in about as intimate a setting as you can get, all for just $10. +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 21:57:55 CDT From: "ReNeE-z Da bOmB" Subject: cowboy junkies... yeah the Cowboy Junkies Kick Ass... i have one of their albums, and a bunch of their stuff on compiltion...

Bill inquired: >Has anybody heard the Cowboy Junkies? Erm, yeah. Been a fan for about ten years, in fact. I think you'll find tons of ectophiles can claim the same thing. Strangely enough, though, I didn't see them live until a year ago. They completely blew me away. They're playing in New Haven in a week and a half, and I can't wait to experience the goddess Margo Timmins again!!! They're touring now, and I think they haven't played the D.C. area yet. You *must* see them. +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 22:34:36 -0600 From: "Mark Lowry" Subject: WB Hey guys, I haven't written in a long time, but I'm lurking. I think this thread was brought up a few weeks ago, but I just scanned. Who sings the theme song for "Roswell." It sort of sounds like Sarah, but then it doesn't. Thanks, Mark Lowry n.p.
