So $10 for one act, at Let's see now: Led Zepplin was $8or9 and "runes" wasn't out and the acoustic guitars and Going to California were brand new. ELP and Edgar Winter's White Trash were about $8.

Progressive rock guitars with almost discordant vocals. well, i just put _light and shade_ in the disc player for the first time in, oh, three years and it sounds better than i remembered it. deniz's description is pretty accurate, though i'd say that the "progressive rock guitars" are piped through the "gothic" filter in a big way. vocals aren't as much discordant as much as they are reverbed to hell and back. anyone who likes the stuff that bedazzled records releases should dig this album. woj ------------------------------ From: anthony@xymox.apana.org.au (Anthony Horan) Date: Mon, 15 Jan 96 15:26:58 EST Subject: Re: What ever happened to woj said: >there was a second rooart compilation ("young blood 2"), but i don't >recall hearing it more than once. There were actually three of them. The second one didn't do too well here (the Young Blood series were retail-sold CDs in Australia, at a tiny price) because unlike its predecessor, it concentrated on Sydney bands and primarily concerned itself with grunge-rock. The third in the series was excellent, but as far as I know never made it to the US. RooArt moved distribution shortly afterwards from PolyGram to Warner, which surprised many as PolyGram had had some success with the label. Late last year RooArt parted ways with Warner and are handling their own promotion, though still using Warner's distribution system in Australia. The downside is that I haven't received a RooArt release in over a year. - - Anthony - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anthony Horan, Melbourne Australia - anthony@xymox.apana.org.au http://daemon.apana.org.au/~anthony/ Physical mail: P.O.

I never ever heard them before. I liked the sound from my first impression, although the lyrics weren't so impressive. (I just don't know what they mean.) I get home put WDRE 9.27 on from Garden City NY and something very familar is on. They were playing Ruby's "Tiny Meat". Then I thought from hearing the music and the lyrics that go "you silly girl" that she reminds me of Garbage. The music sounds similar and Garbage has a song called "Stupid Girl". After hearing them on the radio I thought Ruby is going to be as big as Garbage or bigger which I am not so happy about. That means over play. :( ...Strangely today I was thinking about Ruby and I turn the radio on and they are playing the end of "Tiny Meat". Besides that song I really like "Parrifin". Another thing about Alannis Morrissette. You guys who dislike her really rubbed off on me. I don't want to hear her anymore. Her voice just irritates me now!

Date: Wed, 17 Jan 1996 23:04:44 -0500 (EST) Subject: new music Hello, I don't often post but I saw some new music that I thought people here might be interested in. When I was in the record store last they had these two cds at the listening station that were quite good. One was a new live cd from Joan Baez called "Ring Them Bells". She had many other female singers singing with her on the cd including the Indigo Girls and Janis Ian. She even covered an Indigo Girl's song. The other cd was called something like "Women of the World: Celtic voices" (I hope I have the title correct) and featured Maire Brennan as one of the singers. I was not as familiar with the other singers but I think a few of them have been mentioned here. Both cds sounded quite good and I was wondering if anyone else had seen them. I've heard the new Tori Amos song and I love it. :-) but I suppose that is no surprise.

(snip) >Both cds sounded quite good and I was wondering if >anyone else had seen them. I have the Joan Baez CD "Ring Them Bells". I am a loonnnngg-time fan of Joan's, and mostly I *like* this CD. But: I wish they had chosen a more interesting song (since they included only *one*) for her duet with Tish Hinojosa (it is "Pajarillo Barranquen~o"--which is cute when it's part of a group of songs...but it's very very very repetitive); and I don't care for a slow, a capella version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" (eep). BUT! The rest of the CD is *good*, especially: "Willie Moore" with Kate & Anna McGarrigle; "Jesse" with Janis Ian; "Ring Them Bells" (a Bob Dylan song) with Mary Black (I really like Gordon Lightfoot's cover of this *also*!); "Diamonds & Rust" with Mary Chapin Carpenter; and my *two favourites*: Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" with The Indigo Girls (wow!) and "You're Aging Well" with Dar Williams (this had me in TEARS the first time I heard it!). I don't feel like this is the best *ever* album Joan has ever put out...it just lacks some *oomph*...but I think it might have more to do with the songs chosen (from all those recorded at The Bottom Line concerts) and the order in which they were placed on the CD.
