There will be a very special show in celebration of Prime CD's Fifth Anniversary at The Bottom Line in New York City on Wednesday, October 7th. One long show - 7:30-11:30 P.M. featuring Christine Lavin, Susan McKeown, Five Chinese Brothers, Aztec Two-Step, Jack Hardy, Annie Gallup, Hugh Blumenfeld and Margo Hennebach. It will surely be a night to remember. Since it is likely that the show will sell out, it is probably a good idea to pickup tickets prior to the show at The Bottom Line box office. Unfortunately, they don't accept credit cards. Alternatively, Prime CD has a limited number of tickets available and these can be purchased using Visa/MC - just call 1-800-PRIME CD or email pertinent info. I look forward to seeing you at the show. david seitz/prime cd - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Prime CD Real Music From a Real Indie www.primecd.com - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 08:17:12 -0700 (PDT) From: Greg Jumper Subject: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Partly due to favorable comments I've read here previously, I watched _Buffy_ for the first time last night. I liked it. A lot. So now I'm wondering where I can find the "Cliff Notes" synopsis of the two seasons I've missed. I'm sure someone here will know the best Web site to get me up to speed quickly. :) There was some nice Ecto-ish music in the episode; the new show following, _Felicity_ (which probably has received more buzz than any other new show I've heard about), also had some good Ecto music, including Sarah. _Felicity_ was also very good, but I'm not positive it will crowd its way into my "rotation", whereas I'm pretty sure Buffy will...

I've heard good things about this one and I loved her just previous book but right now things seem very artificial and I'm not convinced I'll love this one. I'm about 2/3rds through, and moving slowly as I don't have much reading time these days. Loved McKillip's _Song of the Basilisk_ but her style is so lovely I like almost everything of hers. Also have decided that I love Sean Stewart's writing and imagination. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Neile Graham ..... http://www.sff.net/people/neile ..... neile@sff.net The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music .... http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 08:47:29 -0700 From: Neile Graham Subject: ROSEANNE!

Looking forward to seeing a lot of you again. I notice Tom Horter is coming in from Lancaster, where my son Richard attends F&M. Alas, Rich is in rehearsal for a major drama production and won't be attending, but Steven, our youngest, may be going. As the Bride should be an all-ages show (and I remember some heartbreak about the Middle East concerts) I'll probably be seeing some new faces (relatively!). Old Town is full of places, but I can't begin to recommend one for an ectogathering. I know we can all meet before the show, and afterwards - well, Sunday nights in Philadelphia may be a little more active than, say, Dallas, but I suggest winging it. Unless a charismatic leader steps forth and says "This Is The Place." See y'all at the concert. Some Member Of Ecto (so many old edicts seem mangled or empty)...

Joyce - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Featuring former members of Stereolab and My Bloody Valentine, Snowpony is described as "the lascivious sound of sex in the afternoon, disappointment recalled with a wry smile over the last of the tequila... a beguiling combination of narcotic loops and amphetamine beats." The obvious point here, all allusions to drugs and sex aside, is that you wouldn't want to miss Snowpony's show on Thursday, October 8. August marked the debut of their highly anticipated first album, "The Slow-Motion World Of Snowpony" (Radioactive Records).
