Sriram) asked of the ectophilic public: >can someone give me a sense of what the joan osborne and ani difranco >sund like? they've gotten a lot of mention here, and now i am actually >seeing their albums in stores, but i am not yet convinced.... Re: Joan Osborne: I've never heard her CD, just seen her live. She's got a heckuva voice, which is very bluesy, deep, sultry, etc. Her music is heavily rock, but very blues and folk influenced. If you're into guitar based blues/rock, you'll probably like Joan. Re: Ani DiFranco: Ani is god. Sorry Kate. ;P :) Anyway, Ani is punk-folk, very acoustic, hard edged stuff. Her lyrics are incredible, and her style is a balance between activism and personal confession. She's got a highish, sweet voice that is *very* powerful, live. On the CD's, her voice seems less impressive, but it's still my favorite voice on the planet. Her music, like I said, is punk-folk, usually just a drummer and her playing a guitar or two, though horns and stuff have shown up on occasion. Her first two albums (Ani DiFranco and Not So Soft) are pretty much basic folk, just her and the guitar, maybe a congo drum. Her next three (Imperfectly, Puddle Dive, and Like I Said) get more into extra instruments, and became more aggressive and hard edged. And, her two latest, Out Of Range and Not A Pretty Girl, seem to be heading in a more rockish direction, while still remaining true to her folk roots. Neil K Said: > Well, that depends on what you're doing. In Ani's case, she gets flack from lesbians and straights alike, because she's not "purely" one of either group, but talks from both points of view. <> Ani's writing is only relentlessly angry in the songs relating to anger. ;) I mean, on one hand, you've got "Make Them Apologize", which is about the extreme of activism she's reached, but on the other hand, you've got "You Had Time" which is purely personal and doesn't even touch on politics. Most of her stuff is somewhere in between, but her more recent stuff is less politically slanted. <> I'm not sure what about her I found originally appealing; her over-political songs sometimes do annoy me. I guess it was her pretty voice, or maybe her wonderful lyrics (she can phrase something I disagree with so well that I have to wonder if she's right ;), or maybe her terrific guitar work, but I'm trapped now. Another thing, sometimes her politics *are* very appealing. For example, in her song, "The Story", she says these things that just ring so absolutely true. I would have returned your greeting If it weren't for the way you were looking at me This street is not a market, And I am not a commodity And don't you find it sad that we can't even say hello, Cause you're a man, and I'm a woman, and the sun is getting low... And there are some places that I can't go As a woman, I can't go there, and as a person, I don't care I don't go for the "Hey baby, what's your name?" And I'd like to go alone, thank you just the same. Now, what woman hasn't had that feeling? Hell, what *man* hasn't had that feeling? That's a lot of her appeal right there. Ariel (who finally decided how to sign her Ecto mail, and who's working on an Ani sampler for the tape dubbing project, by the way, if Chandra wants to wait for that...) ------------------------------ From: Robert Lovejoy Date: Wed, 2 Aug 1995 23:03:30 -0400 Subject: Re: Alanis Morissette?

(I'm cc'ing this to the Holly Cole list. Even though there's no real Holly content other than a quick mention, it's possible that perhaps some Holly fans might be fans of Amanda also.) If there are any Amanda McBroom fans in the Chicago area, you'll be delighted to know that she's playing in Chicago every night from now to the 12th, except for Monday and Tuesday of next week. She's playing 2 shows a night, one at 8pm and one at 10pm. I've been a fan for years but hadn't heard anything about her for ages. I only have 2 albums (I have no idea how many she has) and both of those are quite old. They're not "exactly" Amanda McBroom albums because they're really more Lincoln Mayorga albums (he's a famous...in certain circles...arranger and conductor in Hollywood) and she is singing mainly covers. Only 5 of the 20 songs on the two albums are composed by Amanda. Apparently she's writing and performing far more of her own compositions nowadays. Amanda is called a "cabaret" singer but that word might bring up visions of Ramada Inn lounge lizard acts, and that's *not* Amanda. I can't speak about her more recent music because I haven't heard it, but her older stuff contains whiffs of early Judy Collins crossed with Meryn Cadell. No...that's not right. Joni Mitchell crossed with Holly Cole? No...um...something like that. I don't like all the songs/versions on the two albums I have, but the songs I do like I really, *really* like, and those are the one that Amanda wrote, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing her live in a small club performing mainly her own songs. I was pleasantly suprised when I saw a review of her first show in the Chicago Tribune today. (reprinted without permission..shhh Valerie) :-) - -------------------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL SONGS SUPPORT McBROOM'S STAR By Howard Reich Tribune Arts Critic (Amanda McBroom plays Toulouse Cognac Bar, 2140 N. Lincoln Park West, through August 12. Phone 312-665-9071) Though virtually banished from the radio and ignored by the major record labels, the sublimely literate caberet song somehow survives, thanks to the efforts of a few fiercely determined performers and songwriters. Among them, Amanda McBroom stands out, and not only because she's as persuasive singing a tune as she is writing one. More important, McBroom's songs sound like no one else's--the wit, the whimsy, poetry and emotional frankness of her works disarm the listener. The singer-songwriter's show Tuesday night at Toulouse Cognac Bar, where McBroom opened a two-week engagement, underscored the virtues of hearing an author performing her own work. Though various interpreters of the classic cabaret song command more impressive vocal equipment, McBroom dispatches her own, deeply personal songbook with a degree of subtlety that others would be hard-pressed to match. So if Bette Midler's recording of McBroom's biggest hit, "The Rose," remains the most widely known, McBroom's reading proved more intimate and revelatory. If Barbara Cook's renditions of such McBroom gems as "Errol Flynn" and "Ship in a Bottle" capture the melancholy under- current of these songs, McBroom's performances prove uniquely auto- biographical and therefore all the more compelling. In "Errol Flynn," for instance, McBroom tenderly recalls her father's career as a forgotten movie actor who worked in the shadows of Holly- wood's greatest leading men. It was a golden age in film, and in lamenting its passing McBroom also expresses her pain at losing her father, a star in no one's eyes but her own. To hear McBroom punctuating this exquisite piece, and others, with an unexpected whisper here, a knowing pause here, was to understand how much of herself she reveals in her best songs. Not all of her material, however, is as searing as "Errol Flynn." The sunny quality of "Make Me A Kite" and the self-directed humor of "Dieter's Prayer" lightened the show's tone. One of the evening's best tunes was a new one, presumably titled "Some- times," which McBroom said she was singing publicly for the first time. Unabashedly nostalgic in the manner of "Errol Flynn," the piece evokes a long-lost youthful romance and has "hit" written all over it. Throughout the evening, pianist Jeff Silberman's atmospheric accompani- ments neatly set the stage for McBroom's musical narritives. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- I have: Amanda McBroom & Lincoln Mayorga "Growing Up In Hollywood Town" 1980 Sheffield Lab CD-13 "West of Oz" 1981 Sheffield Lab CD-15 So...anyone want to go see Amanda with me sometime before the 12?

I may make a different response to leadheads. Just to confuse things. Well, primarily to confuse woj and any folks on both lists! :-) At 06:52 PM 8/2/95 -0400, geek the boy wrote: >friday night, meredith and i headed out to the east village in >manhattan to see BiL at the sidewalk (which should be called the >*sidewaulk*, methinks) cafe. found a parking spot one block away >and walked over. i was wearing last year's pilgrimage shirt, so >when we passed the band who were still outside unpacking the >equipment, i got the "so, which one are you?" from drew. Heh. Mailing list shirts are wonderful for meeting other listmembers-- and in Lead's case, the band. When I saw 'em in Sioux Falls, it was kindof comical. I've bumped into all of the band members a number of times over the years and we have oodles of mutual friends. And I've done email and phone calls with Drew. But he still wasn't sure who I was... I figured they'd recognize me in Sioux Falls, but just in case I wore the boiling lead pilgrimmage shirt. Drew looked at me and said "You're Laurel!" (In Sioux Falls, there wasn't much question about that... Tho I no longer have the only Boiled in Lead and Flash Girls shirts in South Dakota. :-) ) >when we wandered inside, i spotted someone with a video camera and >walked over to met vnend. it turns out that meredith and he knew each >other from neil gaiman's topic on genie. small world, ay? we took a >seat at his table, chatted with him for a bit and then ordered dinner.

The current lineup certainly isn't "settling"... as I've said before on leadheads, both were/are great. Just different. With Todd, there was more middle-eastern stuff for a bit. And celtic for awhile. But Adam brings blues, rock, and folk things to the table. Joseph brings a blue fiddle (and all sorts of lovely tunes from all over the place) (and hair, more hair). I bet they were all pretty loud, even acoustically. I was surprised when Lead played "Rasputin" at a sitdown, mostly electric, but with a bit o' acoustic drum in a tiny cafe' in Sioux Falls. Ra-ra-ra indeed. Loud. Fun. If only there'd been more room to bounce up and down... >- "bad hair" sung by joe complete with, well, bad hair. a saxophonist > whom we've seen around nyc before joined them for this song and one > other - was it "rasputin"? i forget.... vnend told me who the sax > player was, but i've forgotten that too. Whenever I listen to _Old Lead_, I'm reminded of the days when the band had sax's and other instruments around more often. Definitely different. Apparently Joe's singing a couple more songs now... sax on "Bad Hair"? Did the sax player have bad hair? Drew had his hair cut fairly short when Adam first joined the band... Seems to have grown out, probably to fit the hair motif. >- adam ripping the five remaining strings off his guitar after one > broke (causing an impromptu key change) during one of the long > instrumentals with lots o'solos. i think this what was prompted his > "this is the loudest acoustic show i've ever heard" comment. Hee! It was a brilliant moment on Leadheads when Jane Yolen (noted fantasist, poet, wonderful person-- someone we've talked about on ecto even) reported to the list about how Adam had apparently done a backwards somersault at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, cutting his lip on his guitar and bleeding all over the place. (Jane is Adam Stemple's mother, by the way. :-) She's written some fine songs-- one for the Flash Girls, even. And I had the pleasure of hearing her sing a bluesy song with Cats Laughing once a few years ago...) >- the second fastest fiddle playing i've ever seen. I was gonna say "Who's faster than Flippy?" (Joe), but you answer that later in the post. >unlike the previous night, there was almost no one at this show. again, >BiL was opening, this time for the mamou playboys. since the mamou >playboys aren't typical maxwell's fare, i expected the crowd to be >small, but this was the second smallest crowd i've ever seen at >maxwell's (the smallest was for melissa ferrick). more amazingly, the >people who did show clustered in the back sitting on a riser and (less >amazingly) standing at the bar. i was one of three people standing >within ten feet of the band (though the loudness of maxwell's pa system >may have something to do with that). Hmmm. Small crowd is always a bummer. Don't tell me, the folks in the cluster and at the bar weren't drawn towards the music? They resisted the Lead forces? (I generally don't dance at shows, but Lead makes me do it. They just do. Tho it's more a standing up close to the stage and wiggling and bouncing a lot thing than a dance, it's pretty animated for me.) >i guess laurel was right about the new york crowd all being out at >fourth street. Actually, this would've been after Fourth Street, I believe. So the only New Yorkers I know who were yet in Minneapolis are... I was gonna be vague, but why bother, Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden. The rest of the folks should've been around. Probably forgot about or didn't know about the show. :( Bummer. Or were busy. Trapped under heavy furniture. I dunno. Whatever you new york/jersey people do. ;-p >this time, the set was electric and pretty wild. no strings broken, >alas, but an even more energetic show than the previous night. dunno >what the band felt about playing in front of what would appear to them >as practically nobody, but they seemed to cope well enough and played >hard nonetheless. top o'the hat to them for that. the highlight of this >show was the fastest fiddle playing i've ever seen. :) How about that fiddle? Wow. Then there's the amazing drumming of Robin, the roomshaking vocals and awesome guitar of Adam Stemple, and the very very solid and mighty fine bass and dulcimer playing of the wonderful Drew Miller. Sigh. I need to see 'em again... >we took off early again, but not before trading some more snarky >comments with joe. ;) woj talks a bit about Todd vs. Adam as Lead lead vocalists. It's like comparing apples and oranges, really. A friend recently commented to me that he heard the current BiL lineup play "Step It Out, Mary" in concert... before hearing the rendition on _From The Ladle to the Grave_ with Todd "leading" the band and Dave Stenshoel on fiddle. He said he had to turn the recording off 'cuz he so much preferred the current lineup's rendition. It's just different... both were/are excellent live bands. Todd still does solo gigs that are fun and contain material he did with BiL. He also has a show with Stuart Martz. I believe Todd and Stuart are doing the MN Renaissance Festival again this year. I'll throw some of Todd's solo stuff (no longer available anywhere) on the MN Music tape... :-) Laurel (lakrahn@imho.net) Krahn, Webspinner Virtual Home: http://imho.net/~lakrahn/index.html IMHO Productions: Internet Consulting, Training, & Web Design ------------------------------ From: lakrahn@imho.net (Laurel Krahn) Date: Wed, 02 Aug 1995 23:12:38 -0500 Subject: Re: sTuff At 10:21 PM 8/2/95 -0400, THE OLIVE-LOAF VIGILANTE wrote: >Laurel admonished: > >>Now, now, Conan did write for SNL for a number of years, as well as for the >>Simpsons. > >Yes -- he's written every single Simpsons episode I've ever classified as >utterly brilliant.

By the way, I forgot to mention, Boiled in Lead albums and possibly other Omnium titles are distributed by Flying Fish. Or were for some time. Another fine band you can reach through Omnium/DeSelby is the Oyster Band. They're British and such, on Ryko currently-- but DeSelby does their American information/fan club/mailing list. You can email tunes@omnium.com for info on Boiled in Lead, the Oyster Band, other Omnium related things.

I didn't respond to Irvin earlier, so here goes... Someone you can find Used, eh? Now I'm thinking of artists who I've found in used bins for dirt cheap (er, not the artists themselves-- *that* would be sad, but their cd's. ). Mae Moore's _Bohemia_ seems a perennial find here for a couple of dollars. Also Deacon Blue albums... which I like bunches. Particularly the one with "Swaying arms" and "one day I'll go walking" and other fine songs. I keep finding Crowded House albums cheap, as well. Okay, there aren't any female vocals here-- but that's different! I think they're thought of as a pop fluff kind of band, but they have such strong songwriting on many of their albums. And solid pop. One of my fave bands (also one of Shawn Colvin's faves, she was raving about them last summer at a folk fest, covered that song.. um... "Weather with you"). Heck, if you know of record stores or pawnshops or places that have cd's or tapes for really cheap (Around here we have a 5 for $10 cd bin), take chances on folks who sound familiar or you like thelooks of the cover art, liner notes, song titles... I've found some spiffy bands that way. And the cd's I don't like, well, you can always trade 'em in. >>and i am looking for some good recipes for chicken. i keep on making the >>same three dishes! Try marinating some chicken breast or thighs in equal parts lemon juice and soy sauce... with a bit of garlic and basil for good measure. Marinate for a half hour to two hours, then grill or fry/stir-fry. I thought it sounded weird before I tried it. Makes great tasty chicken on it's own, or cut it up and toss it in a salad with a lite dressing of some sort. (I made a corresponding lemon juice/balsamic vinegar/garlic dressing)... >woj reported from the Boiled In Lead show: > >>- adam ripping the five remaining strings off his guitar after one >> broke (causing an impromptu key change) during one of the long >> instrumentals with lots o'solos. i think this what was prompted his >> "this is the loudest acoustic show i've ever heard" comment. > >Yeah, that was pretty funny.

They are (in order, I believe): To Your Scattered Bodies Go The Fabulous Riverboat The Dark Design The Magic Labrynth Gods of Riverworld I don't know anything about a set of the books (we bought the individually) or if they're still in print but I would imagine any fair size science fiction bookstore would have used copies. (You might try The Stars Our Destination on Belmont in Chicago...it's only a few blocks away from Schubas.) For those not familiar with the series, it's based on the premise that aliens have created a world (Riverworld, of course) where everyone who has ever lived comes back to life at the same time. This Grand Experiment is quite confusing to the inhabitants and throughout the series various people meet and try to figure out what is going on. The main character is the explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton. Other characters include Samuel Clemens, who builds a riverboat since the entire world consists of a 10 million mile long river, the shore where people live, and mountains separating bends in the river. Other charaters who interact with Burton and Twain are the cowboy star Tom Mix, Karl Marx, Joan of Arc, Alice Hargreaves (the Alice in Alice in Wonderland), Hermann Goring and many others. Cavemen to future alien visitors (not the same ones conducting the experiemnt) to Vikings to Victorian ladies to...well, everyone who ever lived...all interacting. It's quite fascinating. I would definitely recommend reading "To Your Scattered Bodies Go" first because it sets up the whole thing. I may be one of the few people in Ecto who isn't all that interested in most science fiction except for a handful of things ("The Mote In God's Eye," "The Lathe of Heaven," "Rendezvous With Rama," *anything* by Cordwainer Smith, Harlan Ellison and some others) and I *really* enjoyed this series.
