My boyfriend and me saw her perform at a small folkfestival in Deurne last summer and I was really impressed. She was truly brilliant. Any other fans out here?

The Email they sent out wasn't even sent to the address where I receive Ecto. It was sent to my ISP (whence I post), where the mailer couldn't handle the long list of addressees and promptly died. Looks to me as though this spam was an example of somebody trawling the archives for posters' addresses rather than somebody abusing the Ecto mailing list addresses. The post didn't even include any relevant information that hadn't already been put on the list as far as I could tell, not that that would have been any excuse.

It seems a little more sedate than many of the previous albums, but their sardonic wit is still firmly in place. I've actually had trouble getting past the first track since its so fun, and listening to the whole album. The first track features their female singer (whose name I can never remember), singing a song whose chorus is "Don't marry him, f*** me." If you like Beautiful SOuth, I'm sure you'll like this album. Its a good, fun solid album, but no real new ground, and probably not as good as some of their previous (or the best of collection.)

(ps neile, you have to include those two bands on the ecto guide to good music, i have been meaning to tell you that but keep on forgetting, i can edit the page/s if you want) Ron, those three full length CD's are pretty much all that are available nowadays by the housemartins. i think there might be a few singles floating around and such, but they aren't as readily available, check your used bins (though i thought i saw on the web a couple of CD places that have a few available like the single BUILT). for a complete discography on the HOUSEMARTINS check out the site http://www.healey.com.au/~eva/hm/ which has both the discography and lyrics and information on the HOUSEMARTINS and offshoot band mailing list LIST FOR WHOEVER. i can attest that this is actually a really great list. (as single subject list go, nothing compares to ECTO of course!). i was on LIST FOR WHOEVER when it was just embryonic (it started as a bounce list, you emailed to someone, i forget i think his name was ERIK, and he compiled all the mailings and periodically he would just paste them all together and mail them out once he felt there was enough) and it was actually a great bunch of people. There was someone on there named Jen (i forget her last name) who made a 60 minute tape of HOUSEMARTINS b-sides that weren't available anymore. if you are interested email me and we can work something out for it. she entitled WITHOUT THE AIRPLAY. anyway there is a lot of tape trading going on and some really nice people who offer stuff out of the goodness of their heart (bside tapes, boots, even videos and concert footage). well worth getting on if you like the HOUSEMARTINS or their offshoot bands THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH, BEATS INTERNATIONAL, or FREAK POWER (the latter two being Norman Cook's subsequent bands - they actually aren't talked about all that much when i was on the list, but they come up on occasion - of course it does get kinda upsetting as most of the stuff is never released in the US, so if you are from the US, keep that in mind). as for the new album (newish, it was released last year overseas actually) it is pure beautiful south. if you like their previous CD MIAOW - - (which has never been released here in the US either) you will like BLUE IS THE COLOR. actually i kinda like MIAOW better, but i have yet to get a handle on BLUE yet, as i have only listened to it a couple of times. i sort of miss the jangly guitar and the more rough feel of the housemartins, so this might be while i like the earlier tBS stuff better.(charley claims that i am in a LO-FI rut, but that is neither here nor there). Each later release by tBS gets more and more slick and produced. Dave and Paul don't even play any instruments on BLUE, just sing (along with jackie). but on the whole if you like tBS they definitely check out BLUE. i especially like the first song (which was a single in the UK) called MARRY HER. Maybe it is the lyrics ("don't marry her, fuck me" sings a slightly bitter jackie). It definitely sold well in the UK which might be why they eventually released it here in the US. The best of the Beautiful South (which came after MIAOW but before BLUE) was one of the highest (was the highest? or maybe fastest?) selling CD in the UK the year it was released, and that prompted someone to finally release it in the US. ARK 21 has picked up BLUE IS THE COLOR, so maybe tBS will finally have a stable US label relationship.... who knows. anyway check out BLUE is THE COLOR. my next purchase actually will most likely be the new SUNDAYS album. I finally heard a song off of it.

Just to clarify for the NYC-area 'philes who may be interested (and you all should be, dammit ;), Susan McKeown and the Chanting House are *not* opening for Waterson: Carthy at The Bottom Line next Thursday night, as I posted here yesterday. I was misinformed. The show is actually a double bill, with Susan closing. Cool -- a longer Chanting House set! Whoo-hoo! :> woj and I aren't at the Mila Drumke show -- life intervenes. Oh well.
