So there. :) > At Ani's most recent performance in Berkeley, someone in the audience yelled out, "Who's that singing 32 flavors?" Ani took a moment to comment on the subject. She said that lots of people ask to cover her songs and that she usually gives permission and that this case was no different, but that she wished she had noticed that Janice was on a major label. (The implication being that if she had noticed, she might not have given permission.) Then she said something like, "But I approved it, so I only have myself to blame." She also suggested that she was unhappy that she was given credit for writing the song, but that some of the lyrics had been changed from the way she wrote them, and no note was made of that. She didn't specifically say if she liked the song or not. BTW, someone asked a couple days ago. The US release date for "Little Plastic Castles" is Feb. 17th. I can't wait!

I didn't make that one, but she played here at Brown tonight kind of as a benefit for our women's center, and I caught the first show. My first real ecto concert. Gee, I feel this sudden rush of good feeling. Set list-- What do you hear in these sounds If I wrote you Iowa (With a singalong) Are you out there When Sal's burned down The ocean End of the Summer Wilder than Her As Cool as I am Mortal City Christians and the Pagans The Babysitter's Here (Encore) She apparently left the band behind, and was playing only with Stephanie Winters, the cellist/harmony singer. (Formerly a member of The Nudes--anyone know anything about them?) Anyhow, there were a few amusing gaffes, etc.; she had just found out that she'd been leaving out two lines of Wilder than Her in previous performances, and chose to inform Stephanie of this as she introduced it... The didn't leave them out tonight. Opening act was Erin McKeown, a really lucky Brown student who was playing to her largest crowd ever. She's cool in a poet-with-crunchy-guitar way sort of like Ani diFranco. There was another show at 10pm, so ours seemed almost too short, but looking back at the set list it isn't bad for a little 650 person capacity hall in the backwoods of Providence... - --------------------------------------------------- Kay S.

The Nudes are best known to ectophiles as being in the ranks of Folks Who Have Opened for Happy at the Bottom Line. In other words, a relatively large bunch of us have actually seen them (twice in the same evening!). The band is a duo, Stephanie Winters and Walter Parks (an amazing guitarist). I think they've had just two albums, the first being eponymous and the second titled _Velvet Sofa_. I gave the latter to my stepmother as a present a couple of years ago, but haven't heard it in ages. Cool music. MUCH better than another member of the aforementioned ranks, Eddie from Ohio (blech).

Wow, I hope she's doing all her near-future dates with Stephanie.. Dar played Bates College in Lewiston ME last Friday, just her & her guitar- and sucky Maine weather and an even suckier party commitment kept us from attending, but we're planning to see her at the Unitarian-Universalist Church in Salem MA on Feb 21, and I hope that she'll have her cello backup- I like her with the band, but I also think that she's one of those artists who's a strong enough performer to carry an audience all by herself , and Stephanie's contributions certainly don't drown Dar out the way the band tended to do at times last fall. The club/concert scene in the formerly ecto-starved Portland area is improving dramatically - The Nields have been trekking to Stone Coast Brewery recently, Paula Cole was scheduled for the State Theater last November before she developed laryngitis, Tara Mclean opened for Barenaked Ladies at the same venue, and also headlined at Raoul's Roadside Attraction, and the next few weeks will see Catie Curtis and Patty Griffin at Raoul's, followed by Sarah M. at the Civic Center and Ani at nearby Durham NH; Now, if someone would convince Happy & Kevin & Samson that Maine is more than just a place to vacation...

Nope, they haven't broken up - I guess they just took a break while Stephanie Winters was touring with Dar. I recall seeing something on the Dar list just the other day about how the Nudes are going to be part of some Falcon Ridge pre-fest preview tour, along with Lisa McCormick (one of my favourite '97 discoveries) and a few others....

Hey Sherlyn, rave a bit about Lisa McCormick. I've seen her name popping up at a number of local folk places, but don't know a thing about her. Oh, in fact, I turn my head to the right and see one on the table. Monthly house concerts in Columbia. March is The Kennedys with Lisa McCormick opening. And I already enjoy seeing the Kennedys. How about Anne Hills? She's this months house concert, and is deemed big enough to have a $9 donation instead of the usual $8, and I've never heard of her either. Neal np: Kami Lyle - Blue Cinderella (For some reason this caught my eye used, despite a fairly feeble cover. A scan of the credits revealed that what appears to be a standard pop album features a woman who is apparently also a trumpet player, and Manu Katche [of Peter Gabriel's bands] on drums. On first listen, she sounds very much like an average pop singer, and I haven't heard any of the credited trumpet yet.) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jan 1998 23:58:04 -0500 (EST) From: Neal Copperman Subject: Re: Vyktoria Pratt-Keating/Wammie On Fri, 30 Jan 1998, Carolyn Andre wrote: > I was browsing the list of winners of WAMMIES (the annual DC-area music > awards) and came across VPK as a winner in, I think, the New Age category Yup, she won for New Age. The Wammies are pretty silly awards, I think, but mostly because the cling to fame rather than spotlighting more deserving local artists. Not that it probably isn't cool to win one. Lisa Cerbone won best alternative female vocalist (though, thanks to a slight typesetting error in today's Post, I thought it was in the Reggae category for a second), and Lisa Moscatiello won a bunch (Contemporary Folk Record for "Innocent When You Dream", Traditional Female Folk Vocalist, and Irish/Celtic Female Vocalist (for some unknown reason).) ANd perenial ecto fave Eddie From Ohio won yet again as Contemporary Folk Group. Reasons why the Wammies are pretty lame: Mary Chapin Carpenter won for about the 18th year as best female country artist. Other big "local" winners who are seen hanging around town all the time - Dave Mathews, Me'Shell NdegeOcello, and Toni Braxton. Neal np: Kami Lyle - Blue Cinderella (hey, some trumpet.

Susan introduced woj, Meredith and I to her cousin, who I gather is a singer/songwriter... but I'm not sure what her first name was.
