In my opinion this emphasis is an asset. I listen to music first and lyrics second. So I really appreciate the emphasis on the instruments wand the music. The vocals on this record do not overpower the instruments, and thus they function as just another instrument. I prefer when the vocals are considered part of the music rather than the solo instrument, drowning out the backing parts. And when I like the music, I am more inclined to listen to the lyrics, and in the case of this album I happen to like the lyrics, too. So in my perception, Michael's complaint is actually a compliment. -- John ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 19 Apr 94 12:09:43 PDT From: Neal Copperman Subject: 10K epiphany, take one Well, since Meredith asked, my first 10k magical moment. The first time I saw the band was around 1987. I bought my tickets pretty far in advance, although it didn't seem necessary at the time. In the next few months, "In My Tribe" came out, and the show ended up being a sell out. This was at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC. Nathalie seemed to hate the place, and was pretty demanding about what they do with the band. She got pissed off at the monitors and made them turn all the video stuff off. Near the end of the show, the band left (notice the similarity to my other epiphany!) and she sat down at the piano to play "Verdi Sings". It was just an incredibly beautiful and moving version of this song. I either didn't have "In My Tribe" yet, or hadn't listened to it much, and it was the first time I had really paid attention (or perhaps heard) that song. It was so amazing, and left the crowd in a stunned silence. So beautiful. In future shows, before they stopped playing that song, everyone would sing along to "Verdi Sings", which certainly decreased the power of the song. Oh, and Meredith, looks like you gritted your teeth and actually played some Nancy Griffith on your show! Was it too horrible? I saw that there had been a monopoly suit against Ticketmaster in San Francisco, and the resolution was something pathetic like they had to give $750,000 tickets to charity, but didn't actually affect the way they did business. A number of people were trying to overturn this ruling. Anyone know the real details that I think I have hopelessly mangled?

The last issue of TIME offers three pieces of news relevant to artists that have been discussed here in the past. First, they talk about Courtney Love's drug arrest and the future of Frances Bean, then they praise Trent Reznor's new album, and describe the piano licks in March of the Pigs as flowers blooming from the cracks in the concrete (or something like that), and they end it all with a photo of the much discussed Milla in the People section, and a relevant blurb.

Of course your idea of the essential Joni depends on which period of her career you favor, but I always considered Hejira her pinnacle. Shadows and Light ain't a bad suggestion, however, the band _is_ terrific. However, skipping by the obvious Court and Spark, I'd have to say that The Hissing of Summer Lawns is the one I'd tell people to start with. Excellent variety of song styles on that one. Mind you, her last one, Night Ride Home, wouldn't be a bad place to start either. Quite a good comeback. +########################################################################+ +###+ Paul Cohen, Philadelphia, PA +###+ +########################################################################+ +###+ P.COHEN@genie.geis.com +###+ PMCOHEN@aol.com +###+ +###+ 70703.3126@compuserve.com +###+ PMCOHEN@delphi.com +###+ +########################################################################+ ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 19 Apr 94 14:30:58 CDT From: The great effluviator Subject: Advancing the art and science (especially the latter) of ecto Vickie waxes taxonomic: >I think it's funny that Iris would be in Folk, because her music is def- >initely country. Maybe it is because of her lyrics, [...] Nothing is surprising anymore when you stop to think that the first time I saw _RhodeSongs_ on a store shelf was in the Folk section at Coconuts. Maybe it is because of the monster pictures on the card that comes Free Inside, such that they felt that was their closest pigeonhole to Filk :-). WRT to Vickie's wondering out loud about the Chenille Sisters: They're not sisters, but they are from Ann Arbor. I think they record for the Red House label, and I know they are typically to be found alongside Iris and Happy in the Folk section, or even not alongside either one in said section :-). _The Midnight Special_ on WFMT plays them a modicum of the time, and they appear from time to time on Garrison Keillor's show. I was Tarred and feathered, sort of :-), WRT my comments on Jessica's reloca- tion (q.v.): >I know that. What I meant was, we in the New Jersey area will miss having >her around.

Virtual asphalt is apparently not very different from the other kind :-). Be all that as it may, it has occurred to me that the intercoastal shift in question proves that the first law of thermodynamics, AKA conservation of energy, to-wit: PE(1)+KE(1)=PE(2)+KE(2) where PE=potential energy and KE=kinet- ic energy, has an exact match in EctoScience, to-wit: THE FIRST LAW OF ECTODYNAMICS: CONSERVATION OF ECTOPHILES ********* JE(1)+FE(1)=JE(2)+FE(2) ********* Where: JE=Joisey Ectophiles, and: FE=Frisco Ectophiles In other words, the transfer of Jessica from the right coast to the left one, and thus from one of the aforesaid two nodes in the ecto universe to the other, has no effect on their combined composition. Now if only I could apply anything else from my sole undergrad physics course to the world as it is 23 years later :-). Sn pfs: >Hi! I'm back on the net! *yay* >And I have a cool job :) What more could anyone want??? Not much :-). WRT Sam and Iris: For some reason those numbers which Sam performed live at Tower last month reminded me of Iris's voice, twang and all. Virtual asphalt, and all that; it apparently cracks easily under all those trucks the country genre concerns itself with :-). As always, Letterman gave Liz Phair the opportunity to do nothing beyond a single number. Somehow her rather unanimated stage act, lately the butt of brickbats among some observers, also reminds me of Sam's.

While I've never heard of BETTY, I can share my suspicion that B.E.T.T.Y. is a joke wrt The Man from U.N.C.L.E. *AND* an acronym (U.N.C.L.E. actually stands for something...Where's Dave Dixon in all this?). Robert Vaughn played Napolean Solo, and David(Robert?) McCallum (sp?) played [warning, atrocious spelling ahead] Ily Kiriakin (more or less phonetically). Actually, U.N.C.L.E. doesn't stand for anything....The story goes that the writers/et al. just made it LOOK like an acronym, and, after the first show or two, were inundated with viewer mail wanting to know WHAT/S IT STAND FOR!?!?!?!? They had to make something up, and probably lamented the fact that they didn't engineer it correctly from the beginning. As I remember, it comes off as sounding a bit contrived if you don't know the history, and remarkably smooth if you do.

I know we've gone over the pluses and minuses of ultravox, etc. etc., and other Ure albums, but Pure is not only my hands down favorite of everything I've ever heard Midge do, but just a really great up album. If you're like me and need some happy music to complement (the large doses, it would seem) of Happy music, seek this one out (usually very cheap in sale bins or used stores) and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I need not remind how great these guys were when I saw them open for Heyward at the Vic last month. If you live in or near Chicago, you should make it a point to see them. It's worth it alone for the Green Eggs and Ham playlet, which I wish I could videotape. I think tix are avail via. the ticket-gippers, though I doubt they'll sell out so I'm just waiting to buy tix at the door. Tam also mentioned that Lowest of the Low is playing at Schuba's April 25.

I first saw him on the Tonight Show (w/ Johnny Carson) so I figured he wasn't anything new... I found out, not too long ago, that he's been around for a long time, and started by singing folk music. I've heard some of "Famous Blue Raincoat" which is, IMO, decidedly folky. On TTS, he sang "The Future", and possibly "First We'll Take Manhattan". Of the few songs I've heard of his, I like those two the best. What was most interesting about my exposure to him, is that I found myself caught between thinking he was extremely hip (and I mean that in as non-Conan a sense as possible) or extremeley farty (like Tony Bennet, though I recognize that I'm very nearly alone in my assessment of Mr. Bennet). I concluded that he was very hip, and forgot about him. When I began working at WHUS, I found a tribute CD by Various artists singing his songs (It's called "I'm Your Fan", a take off on his album title, "I'm Your Man"). I LOVE his voice (which practically doesn't work). And, like the other discussees on this list, I love the dark/gloomy nature of his lyrics/music. I even played "The Future" on my show last night. That's all, just a ramble......

So,I went out and bought _glassworks_ and that was it, I was addicted. FASTFORWARD bunches of years. For Christmas Jill bought me EOtB and the record store guy (the other kind of dead head, one who compared Jane Siberry to Joan Baez????) told her it was a waste of money to buy 'that'. She tends to agree--"Philip Glasss is irritating"--but loves me enough to buy it with the warning-"only to be played on headphones or when I'm out of the house." I guess I'm trying to say that Philip Glass is an aquired taste? He's worth it even if you have to wait ten years (OK,sometimes more than ten) to fall for the music! I too use the music to concentrate. I really like EotB, _1000 airplanes on the roof_, _Passages_the album with Ravi Shankar, _Koyaanisqatsi_ and _The Low Symphony_ based on the Bowie album. These are only current favorites. Also, I prefer the new EotB over the old. So, keep the girlfriend AND the CD.

Gaaaaahhhhhhh. I hate it when record store clerks make this kind of comment about whatever I happen to be buying. There are comments that are useful, imho, like "You know, that's one of 's weaker albums; you might want to try " or "Oh, if you like , you'd probably be interested in ." But an unadorned comment like "it's a waste of money to buy that" really ticks me off. Of course, I'm the sort who's started buying most things from CDC because I've gotten fed up with dealing with the 'tude problems of the record store clerks around here... (Me, opinionated? Naah...) Speaking of CDC, I got Mitch Elrod's cd in my recent order from them, and I *love* it.
