Hole's bassist New Tape Compilation ======================================================================== Date: Thu, 16 Jun 1994 09:57:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Douglas Burks Subject: 1994 Happy Birthday Project Greetings, Time is getting short. Just four weeks until the deadline for submitting entries to the 1994 Happy Birthday Project. So far, only the following people have submitted their entries: Doug Burks (and I haven't even sent my script to Mitch yet. :) ) Act now, or risk being left out of the chance for lasting fame, fortune, and recognition by the Hapster herself. What is this all about? Following is a (slightly editted) copy of the original call for participation, which should answer all of your questions. [I would like to note that Mitch's recent post held a minor typo for my new address. Please see the correct one later in this note.] The Idea For the uninitiated, Happy Rhodes will celebrate her 29th birthday on August 9th. In what has become an Ecto tradition, we send her a collective gift, a tape or three of music submitted by individual Ectophiles. Your selections should be guided purely by music that you think Happy (or even other Ectophiles) would like to hear. It does _not_ have to be Ecto-fodder, female vocalists, etc. Give it some thought, but don't overly worry about achieving perfection. You certainly can do better than "I'm Henry the VIIIth, I Am", which I placed on the 1993 edition of the Happy Birthday Project tape. :) Let's get wide variety and wide participation! Original music is especially welcome! [I didn't see it, but I've been told by an unimpeachable source that in her last newsletter, Happy implored all contributors of such original music to copyright it beforehand. I pass this along.] The Mechanics Please limit your musical selections to ten minutes. I'm going to be stricter about that limit this year, since practically everyone violated it last time (which shouldn't have been surprising in this musically passionate group :) ). Yet feel free to add "filler" music, music to fill in empty spots on the tapes, though I cannot guarantee that the filler will be used. One time I used every scrap of it (and then some) and the next I used none. Just make sure you _clearly_ identify which selections are your primary contribution(s) and which are your filler material. In the very unlikely case of duplications, selections will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis -- another reason to act fast. However, for some historical perspective, duplications have never occurred (to my knowledge) on such a project, though songs have been selected from the same album twice. If you can, feel free to add a spoken personal greeting and/or introduction for your selections to your tape. If you can't but would like to add one, Mitch Pravatiner has volunteered to record any script you e-mail him [u15289@uicvm.uic.edu] in his mellifluous tones for eventual inclusion alongside your selection on the tape. Note that this introduction counts towards your 10min limit. Mail your cassette tape (C-100 suggested), holding your main selections, any filler material, and any introductions to me: Doug Burks 906 NW 75th St Seattle WA 98117 USA Mitch Pravatiner has also volunteered to serve as the Grand Master of Ceremonies, playing the role of disc jockey tying together any loose ends, voicing any necessary introductions for others' selections, etc. I will compile the result, slipping in filler and other topical selections as required. The final result (possibly along with a gift) will be wrapped and mailed to Happy in time for her birthday (I hope). The deadline To give me more time to put together the best possible tape, the deadline will be earlier this year -- 15 July. However, don't wait until the last moment! Contribute early and often. :) The rewards Besides the good feelings of contributing to such a noble group effort and the joys of showing off your musical fine tastes to Happy and other Ectophiles, all contributors will receive a copy of the final project tape using their submitted tape plus one tape free from my tape dubbing project tape cache. I will also cover the postage and packaging. However, if the project extends onto a third (or fourth! :) ) tape, the extra tapes are available only under the usual tape dubbing project conditions. Non-contributing Ectophiles can procure copies of the final 1994 Happy Birthday Project tape through the tape dubbing project on the usual terms. The volunteers I am personally gift-wrapping-challenged. Would someone like to volunteer to take the final tapes and potential gift, nicely wrap them, add a card, and ship it off to Bearsville NY? The questions Adding a gift to the tapes adds a wonderful touch to the present, in my opinion. I open the floor for suggestions for such a gift. I have some questions I'd like to raise to this collected audience. What do you think about the future of the project? Do you like the current format? Is two projects a year too much? Any and all opinions and suggestions are solicited! The end If you have any questions or problems, just let me know! Eagerly awaiting to be inundated by a flood of submissions, I remain ...

We're twins, so I wanted to do something special. I was also the best man. Since I wanted to ask Karen to marry me anyway, I figured that that day would be it. So I called up Bill & Jen and asked them if it was OK. This was about a month ahead of time. That whole time people would ask me if I had my 'best man speech' ready.

With all this in mind, it may be prudent for Mike's next computer-related purchase to be something other than the Internet, writ large :-). WRT Ilka's compendium of Top 10 Strange Accident Reports: I hadn't seen it before, but I can believe it wholeheartedly. You can believe just as wholeheartedly that Doug knows his own address better than I do :-). One can only hope that the same number on SW 75th is in a different zip code. Than again, considering what the post office has shown itself capable of these days... WRT Rod's thoughts on Laura Nyro: I have not seen her latest engagement, nor indeed any other, so I can't address myself to that specific question. Intu- itively, however, I would think it was just an off night, or possibly being rusty after significant time away from the concert enterprise. And that album was called Live at the Bottom Line, BTW, not Bottom End. Off to see _Cowgirls_ before it drops off the planet. I read the book when it first came out in 1976, and want to see for myself just how badly Hollywood actually dropped the ball. Also a way to get out of the current heat for a couple of hours. :-) In memory of Henry Mancini. Happy Bloomsday.

I am in the process of getting some information to her about getting local internet access. Her debut album is good and demonstrates great great promise for the future. Why do grammy awards go to groups like "Taste of Honey" and Milli Vanilli", when real works of artistry in a debut recording goes unnoticed by the industry.

At the risk of boring y'all, here's what I put on it: SIDE 1 October Project Bury My Lovely Over the Rhine Il Est Dans Mon Poche Jane Siberry Everything Reminds Me of My Dog Happy Rhodes Wrong Century Nine Inch Nails Dead Souls Kate Bush Running Up That Hill Laurie Freelove Smells Like Truth SIDE 2 Phish: Down with Disease Tony Tony Tone' If I Had No Loot KLF with Tammy Wynette Justified and Ancient Sunday All Over the World Sunday All Over the World Tori Amos Precious Things King Crimson Three of A Perfect Pair Latin Playboys Ten Believers Okay, maybe Toni Tony Tone' is a little heretical :-). Random notes: Eddi Reader, who gets mentioned here every so often, sings backup on Laurie Freelove's album. Those into truly odd music should check out Latin Playboys. The line up didn't sound promising (two members of Los Lobos, producer Mitch Froom, and Tchad Blake, who sounds familiar though I don't know from where), but it's wonderful: Picture Ornette Coleman cruising with Frank Zappa through Tom Waits's junkyard. Yow! I never thought I'd segue Happy into NIN, but it works. Unrelatedly: I'm listening to the recent Happy Gift Project for the first time. The Lida Husik track is really cool; who is she? What else has she done? And I actually didn't recognize my own voice when my track came on. (I'm working up tracks for the latest HBP: a cover tune (the first I've ever done except for my Chassidic Thrash Reggae version of "Born to be Wild", which I will mercifully refrain from inflicting on you) and a song directly influenced by at least one Ectophile.) ...and now off to spend the weekend trying to install my father's fax modem.
