No, the Mike Weaver I wrote about never worked for Spivak Entertainment. He was a published author and a musician, but his day job was working for IBM, had been for years. To show why the question is bizarre, I have to digress a bit. I had mentioned that Mike lived outside of St. Louis and contributed to the Kate fanzine Break-Through at the time we met. Well, another contributor to BT, who also lived in St. Louis and was a friend of Mike's and who also went with us to Winnipeg, and who also was in New York in the control room of the Night Flight interview, was a man named John Reimers. Some will know John as the one who interviewed Kate for Voc'l magazine. John moved out to Los Angeles quite a few years ago, mainly to manage a brilliant singer/songwriter/ musician named Riz. Unfortunately, that didn't quite work out because Riz took his considerable (awsome, in fact) talent way too lightly (think of Riz as the Christopher Bowman of the music world, had Chris Bowman only ever skated at his local rink) so John got a job with a company that was just beginning to promote this female singer songwriter. Yes, he worked for Spivak Entertainment, and the artist was, of course, Tori. I know that Mike never worked for Spivak, so this is just a weird coincidence. Very weird. (Btw, John Reimers is living back in St. Louis, and is now John Bush's manager. Yes, that John Bush.)

I would be so embarrased if they ever heard. :/ >(Sorry, I can't remember the exact set list......Jenni took a signed copy of >it home, but I got Jessica's broken green guitar pick!)

After this summer I'll be playing all of my own songs (maybe a cover or two ;) when I do bar shows (scary!) or whatever. >I've been fortunate enough to see the lyrics to some of the songs Jessica has >been working on, and have been very impressed. I'm really looking forward to >hearing her demo cd -- what she'll sound like in a studio-recorded version. Ah--this is the correction. For some reason people seem to think it's a demo CD and it's not--it's just a CD. I'm foregoing any demo work and this is just a full-on EP, which we might do demos for before we record it, but we're using things you'd use in a studio and it will be studio-like quality, I hope *crosses fingers*. I don't know if it will sound as professional as other CDs do, but it's only my first one, and we have limited resources and $$. BTW, info on getting this will be available when it's done. Hopefully it'll have 6 songs + maybe a hidden song or two (who knows) and it'll be cheap. :) >Most of all I'm tremendously proud of Jessica's >determination in becoming a professional singer/songwriter.

Thanks. :) I don't really think I'm pursuing a career as a professional singer/songwriter right now... I don't know what I'm doing really.

Message-ID: <19980612.172046.14494.0.JJH969@juno.com> X-Mailer: Juno 1.49 X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 0-84 X-Status: Unsent Carolyn from the House-of-Music.Com, Susan McKeown page, wrote me that she decided not to go to the benefit at St. Ann’s last night after hearing that Susan had been cut from the bill due to time constraints. I think she might have made a good move. They pared down to seven artists from the thirteen originally scheduled. With too many of these kinds of shows nobody gets a chance to get cookin’ when faced with a two or three song long set. They started off with Fontella Bass, best known for her 1965 soul classic “Rescue Me”. She stays mainly with Gospel these days and suffering from a cold struggled through her short appearance. She accompanied herself on piano while her son played an organ that was way too up front in the mix. Host David Garland then introduced Cyrus Chestnut, a Baltimore jazz pianist who wailed. I would have liked to see him warmed up because tackling the difficult piece he opened up with, well, he at times was just not quite there. Sounded at times sort of like they miked the piano with two mikes set with varying and drastically different delay settings. Greg Garing’s Alphabet City Opry was a surprise. Fiddle, Stratocaster, stand-up bass, National Steel style acoustic electric resonator guitar, & mouth harp behind Greg’s acoustic guitar and full-on Nashville Cowboy vocals. Jimmy Scott closed the show but I didn’t want to tell you about him last, being the low-light of an otherwise decent show. On a comeback from a forty-three year hiatus that should have never ended, his 1955 hit “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” with Lionel Hampton seemed to please the crowd but gave me the impression that he just forgot to get buried. Sounds cold ? I guess, but he really stunk, and the piano, bass and drummer behind him while not totally bad, sounded like they belonged in the lounge at a backwater Motel-6. This guy was so bad that his own drummer kept rolling his eyes and groaning in the background. Corey Harris on lap-steel, backed by a guy on an African drum, and a guy wielding a Strat followed Greg Garing with a weird but very cool meld of Bluegrass and Cameroonian Juju. Debbie Harry and the Jazz Passengers were up next. I haven’t seen the Jazz Passengers since the Knitting Factory was on Houston Street and it was great to hear them again. Debbie was nice enough to sign the “Blond and Beyond” that I picked up last week after hearing about it in discussions here on Ecto. Roy did this soprano/alto Pharoe Sanders / Dick Heckstall Smith kind of thing without the circular breathing thrown in. Roy Nathenson’s interactions with Curtis Folkes were one of the night’s highlights, very very Zappa-like. Debbie was a great addition to the band. The night peaked with Mary Margaret O’Hara. She was savagely jazzed. Intermittently clutching the mike like it was the doorjamb to the gates of hell, her grip the only thing keeping her from slipping into the phantom-zone. I don’t know if it was a funky xlr connector on the Beta-58 or static discharge from a manic Ms. O’Hara that was causing a crackling in the house and the monitors but it clearly contributed to her mania. I got a chance to attempt conversation with her backstage after the show but quickly we both realized that the attempt was an act of futility. She wasn’t trembling but rather vibrating. Were it not so pure I might have suspected her condition to be drug-induced. It seemed like each and every molecule in her body was resonating at a frequency reserved for matter that exists only outside this dimension. As soon as we realized that conversation was not possible with my being human and her being a dyslexic hummingbird we both laughed and gave up the attempt. I resisted the temptation to grab her by the shoulders and to scream in her face, “Dammit Woman, Calm Down!” for fear that were I to do so, her atomic bonds might break down and she’d dissolve into a puddle of quicksilver at my feet. Got to keep my eyes open to see if she does any shows here in New York. She was very cool, very weird. It was an extraordinarily bizarre encounter.

She once left two consecutive, overlapping, five-minute messages on my answering machine that sounded like she never once took a breath. Ten minutes of stream-of-conscience poetry, wherein hats flew away into the sky and she and her sister became birds and followed them. Sometimes she seems like she's channeling Gertrude Stein. I talked to her on the phone for a half hour one wintry saturday, about knitting, but talking to M2OH, the knitting came to be about everything else: she's like Proust on acid. Subjects relate and juxtapose and chase each other around other thoughts, but somehow it maintains a fabric of sense. Don't anybody ever miss the chance to see her perform. She's not of this plane. - --Charley _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I haven't heard her music discussed much on this list so I thought I would share, since she would definitely appeal to a lot of people here. She could be called a torch singer, and she is most often compared to Marianne Faithfull and, as one critic has written, "a post-Freudian Billie Holiday." I would also add Holly Cole to the list. Mary Coughlan was born in Galway. She has battled drugs and alcohol for most of her life, and had a rather bohemian existence in her early adult life. At some point in her 20s, she started singing and hooked up with Dutch artist Eric Visser, who encouraged her and helped start her career. Mary's first album "Tired and Emotional" (also excellent) came out in the late 1980s. It sold over 100,000 copies in Ireland and was later released in the United States (by Green Linnett, I think). After the release of the album and her sudden fame, her alcoholism took a nose dive, and she entered a rehab and became sober in 1993. Most of the songs on the new CD were written for Coughlan, and she was co-writer on a couple of them. Some of the songs include (with some of Mary's liner note comments): "Sunburn" (Johnny Mulhern): "This was inspired by a friend of mine who went off to Turkey to find a man, except the songwriter, Johnny Mulhern, switched the gender around. Simply put, the guy wants sex, and the Turkish woman wants a passport. He gets what he wants, and she takes him for everything he's got. Except his cassette tape of U2!" "Dilemma" (words: Dorothy Parker, music: Trevor Knight): "God, Parker would have been a recognized great songwriter if someone had put music to her words." "When I am Laid in Earth (Dido's Lament)" (Henry Purcell). "Woman Undone" (Thom Moore/Oleg Gregbyonkin): "The attitude behind this song gave the album its name. It's about woman getting thrown out from the Garden of Eden, and bearing the brunt of the blame for the downfall of the human race. It's also about how poorly woman has been treated, occasionally acted, and how periodically triumphant she is." ..... Two other interesting facts about Mary Coughlan. 1) She has five children. 2) She was hired by Neil Jordan to give Julia Roberts singing lessons in the movie "Michael Collins." (I'm not sure if that's a recommendation or not). - --Valerie Kraemer ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Jun 1998 22:47:45 -0500 From: Neile Graham Subject: Imogen Heap I'm still having trouble articulating what I like about _I Megaphone_ as I feel like I'm just starting to get to know it--the songs are just beginning to become individual entities: that stage of appreciate an album. Anyway, while she's not a Tori clone or a clone of anyone, I recommend this album to fans of Tori, Ani Difranco's _Dilate_ stage, Alanis Morissette... basically I recommend her to anyone who likes the gutsier side of ecto.
