There's not much of an Ecto slant to this, other than it's about Edie Brickell who I suppose may be considered part of the genre of singers in the non-Happy-but-still-the-type-of-artists-that-are-discussed-in-ecto category. Oh, all right, it's pure gossip, but it certainly took me by surprise. Keith Copied without permission from the Boston Globe: Paul Simon and Edie Brickell who say they want to become parents, got married last weekend in Montauk, N.Y., in a secret ceremony. Sounds like a faily odd couple. Simon, of course, is the short, 50-year-old star who recently has delved into the music of Africa and Brazil. Brickell is the tall, 25-year-old Texas-born singer-songwriter who had a big hit last year with the New Bohemians, "What I Am." ================================================================================ "God is Dead." - F.

I hadn't listened to it for a while. I was amazed at how fresh it sounds, even after a year of almost constant listening. Last year I thought that it was sparse. Now I realize that this is a crafted sparseness. There are underlying textures, and sounds that are hiding, and jump to you from nowhere. Like thoughts, or emotions. Like thunderstorms in the summer. There is brilliance hidden carefully in each musical phrase. The synth sighs when Happy sings 'I am evil, I am brutal'. The percussion speaks a language of its own. From the stubborness of the occasional beat on 'Murder' to the intro of 'Warpaint'. And so much more... For now, or until the 1st4 arrive and I overdose on them, I claim 'Warpaint' as my favorite Happy album.

"LAST YEAR"?! Geez. I hate writers who are completely clueless and get paid for it anyway. "What I am" was released in '88, as I recall. Almost 4 years ago. Granted, it may not have been a _hit_ until, oh, say 3-ish years ago, but... And I was extremely annoyed two days ago when some writer in the Washington Post was talking about a couple of college women who were thrown out of Kings Dominion because of their supposedly scantily-cladness. Apparently they weren't thrown out until they'd had a chance to ride the Big Bad Wolf, which is pretty amazing when you consider that the BBW is a roller coaster at Busch Gardens, another 1.5 or so hours to the southeast. Pah! ObHappy: so has anyone gotten their CDs yet? I'm so jealous of people who actually have the money to buy them. Oh well. I suppose I can wait...at least a _little_ longer.

Not to be rude, but I've been lurking [reading...when time permits........but, nonetheless, lurking]. A difficult schedule, and difficulty in accessing the 486 in the office for long enough to read postings have conspired to keep me (more or less) speechless. I've "extracted" the postings re: electronic fora, but, alas, by the time I get to reading them, they'll likely be "old news" (another oxymoron, right up there with "industrial park")......anyway, I digress. A warm, blue, fuzzy hello to all, and...I'll be in touch :).
