If there's enough interest though, I'll see if I can make a special trip to get some more tapes direct from her, I know she lives really close to me. In fact it would give me a good excuse to see her again, so I encourage it. :-) And unless specifically requested *not* to, I'll get everything signed. Sarah's comments are downright cute (just ask Jeff H.!) So anyway to make a long story short, if anyone wants a copy of Sarah's ep, let me know. It'll be about $7 US with the padded envelope & postage, a certified bargain if you ask me! If you want to check her out I have some WAV files (and hopefully soon some .mp3 files as well) on my website for Sarah, the URL for which can be found in my .sig.

Man, this woman can do things with her voice I never thought possible. I'm afraid her music is a little bit too far out and experimental for my tastes, but it could be that I just need some time to absorb it, it's like nothing else I've ever heard. Fri night I saw Sara Craig. I was a bit disappointed, she seems to have toned down her live act somewhat, she's not nearly as wonderfully bizarre onstage as she was a few years ago! Her voice is as good as ever though. She only did a few of the songs I know from _Sweet Exhaust_, the rest were I guess from the recent album or her ep. She played a nice long set with 2 encores. Last night I saw Blanche, a female-led rock/pop band that was proficient but otherwise not terribly exciting. They opened for Red Autumn Fall, a band from Calgary that I *think* has relocated here. RAF is REALLY fun to see live. They won the battle of the bands contest for this year's North by Northeast music festival and it's easy to see why. The absolutely insane antics of the (male) lead singer are easily worth the price of admission. He completely flips out onstage. He dances, he gyrates, he flails his limbs about, he hurls himself into the crowd, he whips around his microphone... at one point his microphone came lose and he flung the mic across the room and finished the song completely unplugged! Simply said, I have NEVER seen someone so absolutely possessed on stage. Unreal. Unfortunately I don't have any real memory of what their *music* sounded like any more. My friend, who was seeing them for the second time last night, said she never really listened to the music the first time either, but that last night she did and still liked them. :-) Red Autumn Fall: remember the name. Anyway, no female vocalist, but they *do* have a really good female drummer, which was refreshing to see. Female vocalists have enjoyed a surge of popularity recently in music in general, but women playing any other instruments in bands still seem to be distressingly uncommon, even in a "celebration of women's music" like Lilith fair.

The idea is that you can "rent" the disc for 48 hours and then throw it away if you want. I've read that there will be a "flat fee" purchase price, so you don't have to pay over and over (although the studios would love that).

What's really annoying is that our local B5 station, WPIX has moved it to Sunday nights at 9, which is about as long as they can make us wait. :P Especially since our other B5-fan friends in the area get to watch it on Channel 61 in CT, which shows it on Monday nights, so they get to tease us for almost the entire week. Argh. Re Sessions: >I wish I'd caught last week's episode (do they plan to rerun them?) I don't think they plan to rerun them, but it is, after all, PBS, so I'd be really surprised if we weren't inundated with them during pledge drives for the next 20 years. We have been taping them, though... >BTW: does anyone know of any venues in Central NJ that would be >interested in booking an experimental (or avant-garde or something like >that) vocal trio? There's got to be something at or around Princeton, I would imagine. Other than that, I can't think of anything -- there's hardly any venues in Central NJ that feature non-mainstream bar-band music, never mind places for an experimental trio to go. But do check out the Hidden Water database, maybe there's something out there I'm just not aware of. If you're planning to go a bit farther north, be sure to contact The Buttonwood Tree in Middletown, CT. That would be a perfect place for you. It's really small, but they love hosting that kind of thing. Wesleyan University is also in Middletown, and I'd offer that as another possibility -- John Cage taught there once upon a time, and as far as I know it's still possible for a music major there to specialize in experimental and avant-garde. Tons of groups such as yours have passed through there over the years. Rich pointed out: >BTW: Tin Angel has a web site now, listing all the shows.... > www.tinangel.com Yeah, and in true Tin Angel spirit, most of the links off the index (such as for the schedule) are broken. Sorry, but I just find that comical. :) Paul Blair fonted: >I'll plan on it. And will be at Mila Drumke's Fez show on Tuesday. (Mila >and Susan...this is getting to be a pattern...) :) What time does Mila's show start? Do you know if there's anybody opening? >Another song I forgot on my list was "Black." Any others I'm forgetting? If you're thinking of the stunning arrangement of the traditional tune "Black is the colour", I don't really count that as a new tune, because it's not something Susan wrote. However, it is unrecorded, so I guess it could fit on the list... as long as we're going there, I'd also add Lindsey Horner's incredible bass-and-voice arrangement of the Beatles' "She's Leaving Home", which he and Susan performed the very first time we saw the Chanting House. It just totally blew me away. I can't think of any others, but I do get the feeling I'm forgetting something. I'll get back to you. :) Steve reported: >In other news, I saw Anhai play Wed (with the ever-cool George Koller, who >as I've mentioned before plays with Loreena M and Holly Cole a lot), after >a good 3 year absence from the Toronto music scene.

Argh. Our local affiliate already SHOWED it Sunday at 9 pm which is opposite of the X-Files. We missed much of last season's XF episodes. :) However, it's now moved to Sunday/Early Monday morning at 1 am! (!!!) At least its not on opposite anything else but now we are TRULY seeing it after the satellite downlink of the new episode instead of just a few hours before...

I seem to remember them being mentioned here some time ago, was it they opened for Happy at the Tin Angel?

After discovering that I really did like Cocteau Twins after all (_Victorialand_ failed to impress me but _Blue Bell Knoll_ did) I finally made it to the record store a couple of weeks ago to buy the much-recommended _Treasure_. In the store they were playing the _October Project_ album, so I went by to see if they had it in stock (it would be rude to play it and not have it in stock, I thought) so I got it too. The clerk, as it turned out, was a big Cocteau Twins fan and congratulated me on my purchase. After listening to _Treasure_ almost incessantly for two weeks now, I realized that an album that good has been out for THIRTEEN YEARS and I never really knew about it until now. I have learned not to doubt Ecto recommendations; now I just need to act faster on them :-) I've successfully assimilated a friend into the Ecto music tradition. He usually invites me over for dinner on Thursdays, and I usually bring a couple of my CDs. I have since gotten him to buy himself all the Happy Rhodes, Kate Bush, Laurie Anderson, Throwing Muses, Bel Canto, and Dead Can Dance he could find. And that's not a complete list. I recently went over to his CD shelf and shifted out all the stuff I had gotten him to buy; it now counts for at least a third of his collection.
