Hello.. I've been lurking here a while, and I've finally found the time to post various nonsense about music and such. So here goes with mini-reviews and questions... I went on a bit of a CD buying spree the other day, and picked up a number of ecto albums: Bel Canto: White Out Conditions Sarah McLachlan: Good Enough single Nan Vernon: Manta Ray (a nice $1 purchase!) October Project: Falling Further In Happy Rhodes: Building the Colossus I've listened to all a bit except for Nan Vernon, which I haven't gotten around to. October Project's new album is wonderful -- the harmonies and instrumentation remain gorgeous, as they add new rhythms and variety to their music. This CD I can't take out of my player. The McLachlan single is excellent, as expected. I was disappointed by Rhodes (don't shoot me! :) ) and by Bel Canto. I got the sampler tape of Happy from the dubbing project, and I was impressed by her voice and songwriting. On BtC, her voice is good, but the songs, at least musically, aren't very interesting, and are vaguely poppish at times. Now I love the sampler tape -- is this effort widely known as a lesser effort, or is she just veering away from my tastes? Or do I just need to listen to it a hundred more times? :) Bel Canto was also too poppish for my tastes - but I'm hoping it's just their first album. I've heard a couple of tracks from Shimmering, Warm and Bright and they were much more appealing. Brief background: I'm a theatre major at Whitman College, and a music minor (emphasizing voice). I've been active in theatre and music for a number of years, and, as a singer, I've always been attracted to the vocals in music over the instrumentation. So I discovered Tori, and Sarah, and then others. I hope to find time to contribute, as I've certainly followed up on the music reoommended (and it's usually been a successful listening experience). starkeee@whitman.edu ------------------------------ From: jwaite@popmail.ucsd.edu (Jerene Waite) Date: Tue, 21 Nov 1995 06:41:43 -0800 Subject: DDax, please I've found myself falling into a Danielle Dax mania.

Pravatiner) Date: Tue, 21 Nov 1995 12:06:53 -0600 (CST) Subject: CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: 1995 HAPPY GIFT PROJECT This is the first in a belated series of announcements to invite you to participate in the 1995 Happy Gift Project, the latest Holiday Season edition of a continuing series of semiannual musical gifts that the ecto community creates for Happy on the occasions of her birthday and Christmas respectively. Many of you have contributed to these compilations before, and so are familiar with how it's done. For the benefit of those who haven't, here's the deal: Simply choose one or more musical selections (either recorded or performed live), dub them onto an audio cassette (c-100 recommended) along with a spoken introduction/greeting, and snailmail the tape to the project's supremely able technical director, Doug Burks. There are only two ground rules concerning content: 1) Don't include any of Happy's own recordings; and 2) Your entire contribution, _i.e._ the spoken intro plus all musical selections, cannot exceed 10 minutes in length. Apart from that, you are limited only by your own musical horizons. All types of music are welcome, and original performances are encouraged. A number of you indicated last summer that you planned to submit music to the 1995 Happy Birthday Project, but ultimately didn't do so; we especially encourage you to submit them now. If you lack the requisite voice-recording hardware to put your own introductory remarks on tape, you can send me a prepared text, and I will read it into the finished product. Such scripts should be emailed to me at mapravat@prairienet.org; this is now my sole operative email address, unlike the last time. In the event that your email system goes haywire, as one of mine has been wont to do, you can also snailmail me your prepared remarks at: Mitch Pravatiner, 8025 S. Oglesby Ave., Chicago, IL 60617-1134, USA The tape with your musical contribution recorded on it should be snailmailed to: Doug Burks, 2223 NW 59th St., Apt. 2, Seattle, WA 98107 Our policy in the past has been to send contributors back their original cassette with Tape 1 of the final product, plus an additional casssete with Tape 2. If the full final product extends to a third tape, you would need to order it through Doug's dubbing project; email him at dbx@netcom.com for more information on that. Admittedly, we are running behind schedule on this; but our deadline for receiving your contributed tapes is December 15. We make no guarantees that we'd be able to include anything that Doug receives after that date. So we encourage you to spend some of your long Thanksgiving weekend thinking about what music you'd like to send, that we may help Happy celebrate her first Yuletide as a thirtysomething with the best Happy Gift Project yet.

The single for "nothing natural" has only one new song, "god's gift", plus "monochrome" from the spooky CD and yet another version of "nothing natural", which is much shorter and not nearly as shiney. I personally think that the "Superblast" is a better choice if you're ever confronted with the two and don't have the money for both. I've never seen a single of "For love", but it I would think that it might exist since that's one the song that I heard frequently on the radio around the time of the release of Spooky. If there are any of you Lush fans out there who don't yet have "All Virgos Are Mad", run out now and get it! "The Childcatcher" is perhaps the best song Lush has ever done. Anyone know of any other Lush singles that haven't been mentioned in these past few days? - --andy ------------------------------ From: Richard Holmes Date: Tue, 21 Nov 1995 11:14:58 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: Neil Gaiman / Happy Rhodes / Emma Bull While spinning that divine and terrifying web, Laurel (lakrahn@imho.net) Krahn writes: >Oh!

But a week ago, Will Shetterly reported seeing it at Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore in Minneapolis. I'd guess it's out in stores now or will be darn soon. (I'd guess it's a December release, so depending on your bookstore, it should appear during the last couple weeks of November). :-) Emma Bull is one half of the musical group, the Flash Girls. Along with Lorraine Garland. The first Flash Girls album, THE RETURN OF PANSY SMITH AND VIOLET JONES, is out of print in CD. There may be a few last copies at Comic book or bookstores. Be on the lookout. Cassettes were still available last I checked. The most recent/second Flash Girls album, MAURICE AND I, is near selling out and is only available in CD. I'd expect it will be pressed again. Whereas the first album will not be (or if it is, much will be rerecorded). Visit http://www.player.org/pub/flash/flash.html and http://www.apocalypse.org/pub/signal-to-noise/ for more information on the Flash Girls. I should note that signal-to-noise, the Flash Girls mailing list, has been a lot of fun lately. Good discussion of comics, books, and music. 'Tis available in a digest version, too. And an announcement only version. The Flash Girls appear in Sandman 73, which hits stores thursday or Friday. :-) And their alter egos, Pansy Smith and Violet Jones, are recurring characters in the Sovereign Seven comic book. They've a few MInneapolis area appearances upcoming. Next show is at Borders Bookstore in Minnetonka, Minnesota (near Ridgedale) on this Friday. I'll be there, with any luck. :-) Enough rambling...

i'm sure ariane must've been fed up with my shifting position constantly). jane commented on the pews at one point actually, which elicited quite a response from the crowd :) *three* encores. oh, she told us not to tell the other cities, so... pretend you didn't hear that. the last encore was just jane with her guitar, singing a few of her pre-maria songs ("calling all angels" was the stickout, to which she had the crowd sing along :) anyway, my final impression was a bit odd: despite the enjoyment of seeing them live, and some wonderful piano playing (i'm a sucker for good piano playing :), i think overall i like her new sound and band better recorded... and after the last encore, i think i like her old sound better live - _maria_, although i wasn't expecting to like it after hearing it described, i quite liked on first listen, but most of jane's older recordings have ... well, not left me cold, but they haven't grabbed me terribly much. although i do like them a lot, don't get me wrong :) thus ends damon's Tiny Mini-Review. last night before the concert i also bought a couple of things - the indigo girls' _1200 curfews_ live album (are you *satisfied*, sherlyn?!? *are* you?!?!? ;) and "the single file", the collection of kate bush's videos up to the dreaming. i'm actually listening to 1200 curfews right now, and while it's quite enjoyable... hmmm, i don't think i particularily like it more than their studio albums. though i do love the funky violin and sax playing :) i guess guitar music is a bit undifferentiated for me, quite often, as far as whether it's live or recorded (or recorded live :) goes. ah well, i certainly don't regret buying it at least. except there's something about that particular american dialect with the awful drawl and the frequent use of "y'all" that bugs me no end... :P (not that there's actually anything wrong with it, and in fact it's somewhat interesting linguistically... but i can't stand it) as for the single file... well it will probably be a while until i get a chance to see it - i can borrow a vcr here in residence but i probably won't get around to it for ages and ages. and music videos generally don't impress me much - i don't think i've ever seen one that i thought added terribly much to the music, but then again i haven't seen many at all. so we'll see. besides, it's kate! what more needs to be said? :) also, last week i picked up loreena mckennitt's ep _a winter garden - five songs for the season_, which... well, at the risk of sounding rather repetitive with my reasons... it's loreena! very very nice, though perhaps not as interesting as _to drive the cold winter away_. this time she's done two of the more often heard carols, "god rest ye merry gentlemen" and "good king wenceslas" - which, interestingly enough, are the two popular christmas carols i actually quite like, whereas most of the other ones you hear strike me as smarmy, overdone, and ... well... icky. anyway, like i said, it's loreena. very nice, and christmas-ey music actually worth listening to :) also that day, a friend and i went to see the arrogant worms perform live here at the vancouver east cultural centre, touring for their new album, _c'est cheese_. out of the five or so concerts i've been to so far (yes, total :P ), theirs was certainly the most fun on the level of simple entertainment. who are these arrogant worms? you ask. they're an all-male comedic band from kingston, ontario... i've heard them compared to they might be giants, but, having never heard tmbg myself, i cannot confirm. they also remind me a bit of moxy fruvous' sillier moments, though that's probably simply because they're both very very canadian :) with such songs as "the last saskatchewan pirate", "the mountie song", "the canadian crisis song", and "a night on dildo" (an hilarious song about newfoundland place names.. yes, there actually *is* a place called dildo in newfoundland), you can't get much more canadian. i actually bought all three of their albums that day as well... i've been looking for them forever, but could never find them here before. _arrogant worms_, _russel's shorts_, and _c'est cheese_ - all definitely recommended for those of you who like silly, comedic, fun and often insightful music. the concert was great - they are a very engaging trio (mike mccormick, chris patterson and trevor strong - chris is new, and their third used to be john whytock, but he seems to have disappeared), and got the audience to participate in several songs. this participation ranged from making chomping motions during the chorus of "rippy the gator" (their rather gross parody of cute animal songs written for children) to singing along "louder! louder!" with the chorus of "mounted animal nature trail" (a *real* place, a park full of stuffed animals... we got to do the animal noises in the chorus. a few people actually *did* start making the animal noises when they caught on, until one of the worms said "keep in mind that these animals are *dead*" i guess they hadn't caught on so well after all ;) we dragged them out for two encores. they have a home page at http://www.cyberus.ca/~jeffmay/worms/worms.htm with a couple of samples (though i don't really recommend "killer robots from venus", it's one of their sillier-in-a-not-as-good way, though still lots of fun)... there's also a link off that page to another, with a few more samples. neile - i think the worms need to go into the ectophiles' guide... i think i'll just slot it in myself when i work on the pages again, though, if that's ok? :) and now the rambling stops... i hope that was of some use to *y'all*. thanks y'all thanks y'all. ewwwwwwww... damon, the definitely-not-a-professional-reviewer :) _/\_ Damon_Harper@mindlink.bc.ca __\ /__ "Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, Vancouver, BC, CANADA \ / doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo." |/||\| - The Cranberries, http://www.dfw.net/~soulmate/damon/paukarut.html "Ode To My Family" ------------------------------ From: MJM Date: 21 Nov 95 13:33:19 EST Subject: Beatles Anthology Comments Before I read everyone else's comments (trying hard to preserve my own identity and opinions...) I will say that I thought the 1st installment of this was excellent. I am definitely learning things I did not know previously and I love the way the interview clips have been pieced together from all over the place to follow the story. It is very easy for me to lose track of just what the Beatles were and how they were swept into history so early in my life. It was not until the slaying of John Lennon that I became conscious of who they were and that all those songs were by the same group!!! I remember sitting in the dining room in my house in Montreal where the stereo was and listening for hours to the 24-hour and 48-hour Beatles marathons that aired just after Lennon's assassination. It was pretty amazing. It is even more amazing that to this having hardly owned any of the Beatle's albums I am only very rarely faced with a Beatles song that I'm not familiar with (e.g. when I listen to Breakfast with the Beatles, etc.). I.e. just thru popular culture I am familiar with nearly all the Beatles output and through no conscious effort. I cannot say this about *any* other band and considering how prolific the Beatles were this is a pretty awesome statement about their prominence in pop culture and moreover as a part of all our lives. That being said, I will say about the new song played Sunday night that it sounds almost more like an ELO song. I remember at one time it was said that had the Beatles continued into the 70's/80's that they would sound/be alot like ELO. I also remember something like this being said about Cheap Trick. I don't know how the people who said this drew the conclusion, but it is interesting to ponder, esp. since I am/was a big ELO fan. Anyways, it's not a great song (actually the Travelling Wilburies also come to mind when listening to it, not surprisingly), but it's ok.

It was a demo of John's recorded about 1977. The John influence is really strong, which isn't surprising since it was his demo. :) Jeff Lynne produced it, so that's where the ELO sound comes from (George Martin's hearing is quite bad apparently, which was why he didn't produce it). I can hear both influences, and I like the result. It won't be my favorite Beatle song (that changes daily, just like with Kate :) ), but it'll go on my Beatle mixes. What's great about the Anthology CD's is that I'll finally have a lot of the songs on CD that I'd had on tape/record boots before. And some of the stuff, (In Spite of All the Danger, etc) were unavailable in good condition before now. If they really come through and release the 25 minute version of Helter Skelter on the third Anthology CD, then I'll really be happy. :) John ------------------------------ From: Kerry White Date: Tue, 21 Nov 1995 19:24:48 -0600 (CST) Subject: Re: ecto-digest V2 #289 Hello, > From: spanglemaker > am i doing the right thing if i email auralg@aol.com? > chandra Try AURALG@aol.com pesky esoteric beasts sometime speak in CAPs > From: David Dixon > On Sun, 19 Nov 1995, Kerry White wrote: > > Hypno Rock.
