Date: Sat, 11 Apr 92 17:47:49 EDT Hi, Just a hint. Look at your mailboxes in the next days... For those of you who have already received the new newsletter, does this mean that the new album will feature the lines: Don't try to tell me there's no varnish left to cover the pine In this kitchen of mine Those years left lines and scratches on the shelves What we need is more paint :) I wonder who came up with cool-i-o to describe the AG/Happy T's...

Valerie and I went to a concert last night that would've had Vickie on the ceiling. I was sent a free pair of tickets to see Margie Adam, a rampant lesbian folk singer (the organizers listen to the Amelia Earhart show and haven't caught on that it's not a rampant lesbian folk music show any more), so we went. It was worth the price of admission. As Val put it, "I love music that has no depth." This woman is a wonderful pianist and has a beautiful voice, but she can't write music at all. Her lyrics lacked one thing essential to a good song: metaphor. Simile too, and imagination, and.... Well, the funny thing was that we were in a room filled with people who were reacting to this woman the way we all were in Philadelphia to Happy. There were only three men in the room too, which was interesting. I wanted to sneak the mailing list out of there and send them all copies of all the music I could think of, including Warpaint and Little Earthquakes and The Sensual World. Then I came up with the solution: Tanita Tikaram writes wonderful songs but can't sing (imo), so why don't we set her and Adam up? Tanita writes 'em, Margie sings 'em. Tanita's parents would be appalled. ;) It was definitely an amusing evening. On another note, I.... oh, never mind. woj, re:your .sig auf deutsch: it's even sillier when I go into German Teacher mode. "Schwartz" is a last name. "Schwarz" means black, the opposite of weiss, which I'm sure you meant. (All that and English word order, too. Imagine that. :) ====================================================================== |Meredith Tarr "Get to the point you sappy wimps| |Wesleyan University I haven't got a lifetime | |Middletown, CT Simplicity is beauty | |USA, Earth Are there poets less sublime?" | |mtarr@eagle.wesleyan.edu -Happy Rhodes | ====================================================================== ======================================================================== Date: 11-APR-1992 22:46:50.03 From: MasterMind Subject: Re: KaTe on the computer screen On Fri, 10 Apr 92 at 9:34:29 MET DST Albert Philipsen wrote: >> I'm using the _The Ninth Wave_ picture as a backdrop on my Apple >> Macintosh.

Forgive me, child, he said with a sound whisper, faint and moist my cheeks grew. Red was the ground that was padded underneath my soul, burned am I with these ugly woes, gone from the dust the my flesh bears, sin agony, death, dispair. Slack is my body, this body, My mind wafting in the rafters of clouds amid the dreamless sleeping children of serenity. -JB Schreiter ======================================================================== Subject: last week From: klaus@inphobos.w.open.de (Cosmic Vagabond) Date: Sun, 12 Apr 92 18:47:52 GMT Digests are coming in faster then I can read them, not to mention to reply to them. So be prepared for another collection of old, but hopefully not outdated, stuff. a small correction to something Mitch wrote: > on the computer.) The same book noted that Aspirin arrived on earth at Bayer's > original plant in Elberfeld, not far from Wuppertal, and that the company's Wuppertal is now 51 years old, and is an artifical conglomerate of smaller towns and villages, the biggest of them being Elberfeld and Barmen (birthplace of Friedrich Engels; and where we are living for 3 years now, and very likely not for another 3 years). Thanks for the Loreena McKennitt info and the Tori Amos interview translation, Albert! I keep my eyes open for LMcK. Angelos about Sarah McLachlan: > Good night! And Klaus and Claudia, watch out for dates in Munich coming > real soon!! Munich? Oh, that's "just" 400 miles away. ;) But Claudia will be in Munich in June or July, so maybe she'll be the lucky one. Vickie: > > Carmel Bad Day The Drum Is Everything > This song is *so* good. This is the first song by Carmel (McCourt) I ever > played on my show. I wish I knew who the background singers are, but it BVs on that song are Helen Watson and Rush Winters. Stephen Thomas asked: > on the same day.

Two more in Wuppertal. :) But I wonder if we will ever see Court wearing it, as it doesn't match her preferred color.

(For > a explanation, ask one of those who went to QE2) Of course to balance it out OK, folks, so what is the story. I heard it on the Albany recording and was wondering about it. > and not leave kevin left out, that was the "we love you too Kevin" :) Oh, I didn't hear that. Where is my tape. :) Justin writes about Tori Amos: > contrary to what i said a little while ago, she is playing in Montreal > after all: this Thursday evening 10 April at the Spectrum. Ofra Haza > is opening. What a _perfect day_ for a concert of Tori Amos and Ofra Haza!!! Unfortunately the location wasn't. :) So it's "Goodbye Vickie" for a yet undetermined time? :( I was wondering how Chris would feel about Vickie's growing presence on the net, so now I know. Although I already miss her, I can understand Chris' reaction and hope that everything will be settled soon. mjm wrote: > I picked up tori's Winter cd-single import, but would still Oh dear, you can already get it as an import? I still couldn't find it here. Hope it doesn't come months later like with KaTe's "Rocket Man". On Thursday I found loads of them on a "New Releases" shelf. Valerie: > Thanks to Jessica's *incredible* speed in replying, here's the Sarah McLaughlin > concert review that I mentioned in my earlier message: Thanks to Valerie _and_ Jessica, then! :) Welcome to Jens in Denmark (I was born not far from the danish border)! I always like to find another european ectophile. Doug gets my full support with: > It's here! The day that should be declared an international Ecto holiday! Unfortunately this days significance has not been pointed out to the public properly, so I appreciate this first step. :) I still had to go to work. :( > Jessica queries: > Hopefully dubs [of Sarah McLachlan's Boston concert] will work their way > around.

Woj clarified: > MTARR@eagle.wesleyan.edu sez: > >Besides, any paper that is ohne cartoons isn't worth my time. :) > ^^^^ Oh, yes. And I haven't even noticed. :) Jeanne wrote: > The Moment I love that poem !!! Good to hear that more and more ectophiles like Tori Amos and even have the chance to see her in concert. Two weeks ago I found out that she was playing Germany in the beginning of March; a bit too late, but those three concerts were not very close (Hamburg,Muenchen,Frankfurt), so it would not have been very likely that I had seen her even with prior notice. While Vickie's absence, I will try to continue the birthday list, as I was calculating the days of week already. I'm just not sure if my current list is up to date. I'll work on it and post it in the next weeks. If you can't find your date, just send me a note (C major preferred ;), and I will update it. Thanks a lot to all your birthday wishes. This being a mailing list about music, it should not have been surprised to get them in musical form twice (well, the song text written down). Albert even called me up, which was a nice surprise. One more thing before I finish: about a week ago Inphobos didn't get mail for a couple of days, and in addition to a lost digest (I got the copy you send now, Jess, thanx) I know about one email message which disappeared. So, if you send something to me about a week ago, and are wondering why I didn't reply, this is the explanation. Please send it again. that's it for today Klaus ___________________________________________________________ ( "Tell me all the plans you have for the great beyond. ) ) Will you be physical again, or be a cosmic vagabond."
