Help! ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 30 Nov 93 1:52:10 EST From: WretchAwry Subject: Stina**Toronto**Jane**Kate**Happy Stina ----- Hi all! Does anyone know anything about an artist named Stina? I bought this CD (used) and like it a lot! The CD is called "Memories Of A Color" and was released this year. Stina (full name Stina Nordenstam, but she just goes by "Stina") wrote and arranged all the songs. I love her voice and her vocal style. Charley, Chris and I all agree that if you put Bjork and Rickie Lee Jones into a blender, you'd probably end up with Stina. She's not as strong and "clear" as either, and sings a bit higher than Bjork with more of a little girl ethereal edge to her voice. Perhaps Alison of the Cranes should go into that blender too. It's unusual, but I like it. She has a bit of an accent, I'd guess Swedish, but I'm not sure. The CD booklet was designed in Stockholm, which is why I say that. I'm trying to think of how to describe the music. It's slow, slightly jazzy (I doubt you'd find it in the Jazz section, or hear it on a Jazz program though) and features (varies from song to song) the instruments: saxophone, violins, pianos (electronic & Grand-Stina plays the Grand), cellos, trumpet (one song), French Horn (one song) Cither, guitars & percussion (much of it drum machine, but it's not overbearing). It definitely isn't New Age, Jazz or Pop, so I don't know where she'd be listed. Some of it reminds me of the soundtrack to the film "Trouble In Mind." I guess the best way to describe it is to say that, if you like her voice, this is a wonderful album to listen to late at night when you're in a laid-back, kick-up-your-feet, want-something-slow-but-don't-want-to-be-put-to-sleep mood. There are no major changes in the music, it's all pretty slow, so some might find it boring, but I don't. It's a one-of-those-moods album. It can be listened to and enjoyed without getting into the lyrics, but there are quite a few interesting ones if you decide to delve. They range from non-cliche' love & break up songs, to a devastating song about a badly burned girl (it's not graphic, the lyrics are very subtle "If I were you Chrissie I'd rather not take this to stay alive, no I would rather die" :-( It's a beautiful song, but so sad) Here's the major info on it: Stina "Memories Of A Color" Warner Brothers(East West) 9 45405-2 1) Memories Of A Color (4:45) 2) The Return Of Alan Bean (6:29) 3) Another Story Girl (3:36) 4) His Song (7:41) 5) He Watches Her From Behind (3:00) 6) I'll Be Cryin' For You (5:16) 7) Alone At Night (5:54) 8) Soon After Christmas (6:58) 9) A Walk In The Park (3:38) Produced by Johan Ekelund and Stina Nordenstam. *** (out of 5) recommendation by EctoMa (Perspective? Jane's "When I Was A Boy" would be a *****) Toronto ------- YAY! It looks as if we are going to Toronto for the Jane/Holly/MMO/Victoria concert! Charley is taking care of the details, renting a car, getting a hotel and all that. As of now, we're planning on leaving Chicago early Thursday morning and should be in Toronto late that night. The concert is Friday night, but we're not planning on leaving Toronto until Monday morning, as far as I know. We are hoping (pleaseplease) to get together with Jane & Holly, and maybe the others too, but I'm not sure when. Possibly Saturday. The way things look, Sunday should be a free day, so can someone from there give us a rundown on cool record stores in and around Toronto? Preferably with lots of great bargains (cut outs, sales, used) because we probably won't have a lot of cash. Are there any Ectofodder concerts going on Saturday or Sunday night? (We're going to miss Varttina here in Chicago *boohoo*) Does someone want to put together an Ectophile-ish gathering for Sunday? How many are you? Paul Lu, Tippi? Mary Lou? Michael Hui? Who else? I'd ask you to please post anything about meeting, because I can't really coordinate anything here. As people post, you can all work out details. We'll check our e-mail right before we leave on Thursday morning, but it will probably be before 6:00am. As soon as I find out what hotel we're staying at, I'll post it. Charley couldn't remember the name or location of it, but said that it was an hour outside of Toronto :-(, so we won't be doing much going back and forth to it, but I'll post anyway. Looking forward...!! Jane ---- We found the Temple CD! YES!! (Haven't listened to it yet though) Kate ---- KATE'S ON THE COVER OF PULSE! YES!! (Haven't read it yet though) Happy ----- Well, she's wonderful, ok? Oh, wait, I knew there was something else... Pity my poor brain, I can't remember who gave Neil Gaiman Happy's music. Mark Semich gave him a CD of Warpaint, but someone else gave him some earlier stuff before that. Who was it? What'd you give him? What format was it? When was it? I'm starting a list of "Semi-Sorta Famous People Who Have Happy's Music" and I really want to know. So far the list ranges from Kate Bush to Anne Rice, Mike Weaver to Cameron Crowe, David Piltch to Charles Delint(sp? the SF author) so you can see that my definition of "famous people" is pretty broad. Not everybody will have heard of everybody on the list. If anyone has anything to add to this list, let me know, please. I'll be posting the list and it includes who gave who what, so if you'd prefer to be anonymous, let me know. (Be sure to tell me "who" this person is. For instance, David Piltch is one of the Holly Cole Trio, and has played with Mary Margaret O'Hara and Eddi Reader.) Give a semi-sorta-famous person a Happy CD and get on the list! :-) (or cassette or compilation tape) Hugz'all!

Cool! It's been a few years since I lived in Toronto for a turbulent summer... I've been back quite a few times, particularly when I lived in Waterloo. You should have lots of fun! (hope your hotel isn't *too* far from Toronto proper) I don't suppose there have been any Ectophile get-togethers in the Vancouver area, have there? There are a couple of folk in Vancouver and, further south, Seattle, on the list, right? Maybe we should've had one for Sarah McLachlan's first gig on her "Fumbling" tour. :) I know she played a couple of dates here in her adopted hometown prior to embarking on a long slog across the country. > Jane > ---- > We found the Temple CD! YES!! (Haven't listened to it yet though) I heard a dancey mix of Temple while standing in a queue to get some American money turned into Canadian money this afternoon. The acoustics were less than ideal :) but it sounded like a pretty fun mix. The heavy bass and fortissimo bit on the "come on-come on-come on" part sounded a little toned down, which is a shame, but hopefully the greater accessibility of the mix should get the single a little more airplay than the average Jane Siberry release! - Neil K. -- 49N 16' 123W 7' / Vancouver, BC, Canada / neil_k_guy@sfu.ca ======================================================================== From: Tim Cook Date: Tue, 30 Nov 93 08:39:04 GMT Subject: Re: Stina**Toronto**Jane**Kate**Happy Vickie sez: > Hi all!

It's unusual, but I like it. Ah, my favourite album of the year. The Rickie Lee Jones comparison is quite right (Traffic From Paradise is also my favourite album of the year). I don't know anything about her either. However I've seen a german import of the album (credited to her full name, incidentally) that says "Jazz In Sweden" on the back so I presume that's where she comes from. I know of a German CD single and a UK CD single, both of which just contain album tracks - so you're not missing anything contentwise. The Wire magazine (the *only* intelligent UK music magazine) just voted it the 44th best album of the year which is slightly disappointing but understandable given the enormous range of musics that the magazine covers. peter ======================================================================== Subject: I'm going to be a doctor ... Date: Tue, 30 Nov 93 12:07:28 +0000 From: Stephen Thomas ... well, very soon, anyway! Four years ago I arrived at the University of Kent to do my PhD in computer science. In that time much has happened to me. My ears have been opened to glorious music, I have met some wonderful people - not the least of whom is the person I am going to be marrying (hopefully at the end of March). However, I originally came to do a PhD, and I submitted it at the end of September. Yesterday I had my viva (is this called a doctoral defense in the USA - where you face a panel of examiners who ask pointed questions about your work?) and the result is that it only needs minor corrections. I don't have to resubmit the thing, just show the corrected proof to one of the examiners, and if they say it's OK, then that's it! I'm spending the day doing as little as possible!

Well, since I'm Swedish (for sure, Vickie) I feel that it is my duty to inform all ignorant Ectophiles about Stina Nordenstam. "Memories Of A Color" is Stina's debute record, and her only so far. It was released here in Sweden two years ago and is indeed a very nice record. Before the record was recorded Stina listened mostly to Jazz and classical music. (Her idol is the Estonian composer Arvo Part (if you like gothic "semi-religious" music, such as DCD and Orff, listen to him!)) After the record, however, Ivo of 4AD tried to sign her and introduced her (musically) to more "popular" artists such as David Sylvian, Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, and Blue Nile (and, of course, DCD, the Cocteaus, and TMC). Although Ivo and Stina got along very well, she finally decided to sign East West since they promised her total artistic freedom. A new CD will be released in December 28 this year (here in Sweden, at least). There will be a lot of interesting guest musicians such as Jon Hassel (this is the only one I can recall for the moment) on the new record. /Paul (of Sweden) ======================================================================== Date: 30 Nov 1993 08:56:04 U From: "emilyb" Subject: heard on "All Things Considered"... A little more than a week ago, "All Things Considered" on the National Public Radio network (NPR) played an interview with a country-ish singer and songwriter from Norway. My best guess for how his name is spelled is "Janos Fiell", but I could be way off. Has anyone heard of him? He's not exactly ecto-fodder, but the folks here have such eclectic musical tastes, perhaps someone knows of him. When he writes, he says he doesn't write the lyrics in any real language, he uses one of his own devising that sounds like English (same vowels & rhythms) but isn't really. It was fascinating stuff - my brain kept trying to grab hold of words or phrases, but they kept slipping away. So, anyone out there heard of him? -- Emily ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1993 13:16:42 -0500 (EST) From: HOLLY@umbc2.umbc.edu Subject: "Happy" Holiday Party in Baltimore Everyone is invited to my Baltimore suburban townhouse for Ectophilic frolic, music, food and drink on 29 December.

Aimee Man, Slim's, San Francisco 29 November 1993 with The Michael McDermott Band Chris and I arrived at Slim's just after 9:00 p.m., and The Michael McDermott Band were already on stage. I believe it was actually their first or second song. We found the people we were meeting, and after a couple of songs, and a can of Guinness Pub Draft, Kathy said to me, "He's too young to be that boring". I'll have to admit, The Michael McDermott Band were not very unique. They copped bits of a famous Who song and another song that I tried very hard to ignore for their bits of excitement, and he tried oh so very hard to emote. But to no avail. The crowd were much more interesting than the band. They played about eight undistinguished numbers and left the stage. So I went to get another Guinness and then we made our way to the front of the stage. We were trying to guess on which side Dave Gregory would be standing, because Kathy, Becky and I were there mostly to see Dave perform. Chris, on the other hand, actually owns Aimee's album and really likes it. So we guessed the right hand side, and of course he came out on the left. We all cheered "Dave!" as he came on stage, I think he was a little embarrassed by all the noise, especially as he was merely instrumental backup for the name artist. But Aimee Mann is quite a respectable performer and songwriter in her own right. With nary a hesitation they launched right into the first song and from the first beat to the last the performance was well worth attending. Ms Mann was wearing something that looked as though it should have been worn by Adam Ant: a tailored knee-length jacket with wide cuffs and lapels, cut in a nineteenth century style, complete with frilly blouse, its cuffs showing from the arms of the jacket. She looked almost nothing like the picture on the cover of her album. She started off with "50 Years", and proceeded to play most of the songs from her new long-player, interspersed with a few songs from what she called "my previous band, Til Tuesday". Ms Mann played bass on most of the songs, acoustic guitar on a fair handful, and electric guitar on a couple of songs. In fact, she looked a little uncomfortable without an instrument in her hands: the roadie had taken her electric to replace a broken string and she needed one now, so she grabbed the nearest one around, which may have been Dave Gregory's, and played that for the remainder of the song. She looked like she was conducting when she wasn't playing guitar; her hands made motions in the air to the pulse of the music. As it turns out, the band was entirely different from the cast of her album except for the drummer who played on one track. Her backup band consisted of, from left to right, Brian Stevens on twelve-string guitar and doubling on bass and backup vocals, Dave Gregory on electric guitar doubling on keyboard, Milt Sutton on drums and backup vocals, and a very proficient and friendly guitarist, Clayton Scoble, who also sang. (Thanks to Jeff Williams for providing all the names.) The guitarist also provided one of the high points of the concert: Ms Mann was singing a ballad, playing acoustic guitar, with low-key keyboard, bass and tambourine accompaniment, and the guitarist provided a lovely solo on a battery powered ancient Casio two-octave keyboard. It was a perfect moment. The crowd went wild. He also provided the main body of guitar solos, doing an excellent job, playing some slide solos, some wah-wah, some both, some neither. Ms Mann did not have much to say between songs. At one point she said "This is the new single off my new album. There. I said it", and with no further ado proceeded to play said song. At another point she said something about not knowing what the band were doing behind her; they were exchanging guitars because of broken strings. Late in the set she introduced the band. She also admitted that she had washed her clothes before this gig, thinking it would be a nice thing to do. So she was wearing clean clothes. At another point she wondered why the audience were so quiet, but then decided that we would probably yell out "Whoo"! After all, said she, "I saw a band here last night and I said whoo!" From that point on everybody in the audience would yell "whoo!" whenever they were enjoying the show. There were a lot of "whoo"s yelled last night. "Hurt You Now" was introduced as a song about revenge, and it was a powerful electric number, Dave Gregory provided lead guitar punctuation in a middle-eastern mode. The overall sound reminded me of Matthew Sweet at times, very electric and powerful, almost grungy, but with lots of pure pop overtones. After a respectable set, perhaps eight or ten songs, they retired from the stage to many cheers and much applause, coming back for three encores due to overwhelming crowd response. One of the songs played during the first (or was it the second?) encore was Til Tuesday's hit song "Voices Carry", which she introduced as having a "video which inspired many bad hairdos". I noticed that there was a riff, played by Mr Gregory, which sounded like a Kinks song I couldn't quite put my finger on, so I said to Kathy, "Isn't that a Kinks song?" and sure enough, they ended with the main riff to "She Really Got Me". The crowd went wild. Ms Mann also introduced a song as being written for Scott Miller, of Loud Family, and following that song, invited Scott up to the stage to play a song with them. Scott played electric guitar and sang backing vocals, and they all seemed to have a good time. After the second encore she left the stage saying how great the audience were and that she really enjoyed playing for us. But we wouldn't let her off the hook that easily, and after a few minutes she regained the stage, and played a new song, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar. She introduced it as a song about the belief that "love can save your life". It was a very nice song, and then she left the stage, giving her thanks to the audience. I would have to say that I was favourably impressed by the show. Her vocals were excellent, even while she was playing other instruments, and she played them well. The songs were nicely constructed, even the ballads weren't watered down three-chord pap. The other musicians knew their parts and on the whole the show proceeded seamlessly. And the band was seriously lacking in attitude. They were just playing, singing, having a good time. No posing for effect, no forced emoting. We all had a good time. After the show we stuck around (ignoring the bouncers' pleas for us to leave immediately) and spoke to Dave Gregory and Aimee Mann. Chris was introduced to her (as if he belonged there) and told her about hearing her interview on National Public Radio a few weeks ago. He told her this story: he was shaving, the radio was playing the interview, then they played a song, so he stopped shaving long enough to listen, and when he was finally done and out of the bathroom his wife told him to "buy this". So he did. And he likes it a lot. He says she seems shy (and very skinny). Dave Gregory spoke to us for quite some time. He's a very quiet and very nice fellow, very obliging. But that's a story for Chalkhills. ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 30 Nov 93 19:05:52 PST From: neilg@sfu.ca Subject: Wow!
