I got the tickets and now I'm sick with the flu. Not the best way to go to a rock show (trust me I've tried twice). So I'm trying to sell the tickets. I have two tickets. I paid $20 each including charges. I'll sell them for 15 each. I live in Boston but the show is in Providence. The show is at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel. General admission show with doors at 8pm. There is limited seating in a raised area about 20ft. back from the stage, and the rest of the space is standing. It's a great place to see a show. If you or someone you know is interested in going please e-mail me or call at 617-288-4381. Just to put a little ecto content into this post if your in the Boston area on November 7th go to Somerville Theater to see New Women's Voices featuring Mica Richards, Trina Hamlin, Jess Klein, Colleen Sexton, Lori McKenna, Rose Polenzani, Faith Soloqay, and June Rich. For about $16 how can you go wrong. And one more thing. Has anyone heard of Sara K. or Rebecca Pidgeon. I got a sampler from Bose and it has these two artists plus Badi Asad, Christy Baron, and Lori Lieberman. It's a great compilation if you can find it. Thanks for reading Chris Snyder PS ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Nov 1998 15:39:42 +0100 (MET) From: Yves Denneulin Subject: Maria McKee dates in the US Hello, As promised some time ago here is the dates for the Maria McKee "close encounter" tour. It looks like the places are selling at a very fast rate so you'd better hurry if you want to attend one of them.

Burka" Subject: Re: Selling Garbage tickets for tonight's Providence Show Chris Snyder asks: > Has anyone heard of [...] Rebecca Pidgeon. Sure, she's a long-time ecto artist. She was originally lead vocalist in a band called Ruby Blue which had a few releases. I have _Down From Above_, which I absolutely love. I think the other releases were _Glances Askances_ and _Almost Naked_; I've heard neither. _Down From Above_ is jazzy/celtic/pop fun. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the Ruby Blue albums are available anymore. Rebecca Pidgeon eventually went solo and has released 3 solo albums, _The Raven_, _New York Girl's Club_, and _Four Marys_. I have the first of these, but haven't gotten around to buying the most recent two. _The Raven_ strikes me as more light jazz and less celtic, though it's been a while and I could be misremembering. Still a cool disc. One interesting tidbit is that Pidgeon is married to playwrite David Mamet, who writes many of her lyrics... jeff - -- |Jeffrey C.

Keller" Subject: Seely A little more on Seely. I think their resemblance to Stereolab is faint; I'd classify them more with a "space rock" band like Jessamine (only without the keyboards), or a "dreampop" band like Slowdive (only without the guitar washes). They're a guitar band, and their characteristic sound is pinging arpeggios and/or lightly choppy chords; their songs tend to be fast-paced, but with unusually lilting, swaying rhythm (product of a very subtle drummer). Male/female vocals cool and a little distant. It's a warm sound full of "sweetness and light," but pleasantly mysterious at the same time. I think they're a fine band, and the two live shows I've seen of theirs were both excellent. If I hadn't already made plans for that night of CMJ (a slate of mostly-Eastern European bands at Baby Jupiter), I'd go down and see them again myself. I'd recommend them. They have three albums: =Pentha Sea= (which I haven't heard), =Julie Only= (at least in part a rerecording of the first), and =Seconds=. The latter two are on Too Pure records; =Julie Only= is particularly recommended. By the way, CMJ hard info is not that available for Friday 6th, since the listings run Wed-Wed or Thur-Thur (we'll know a little more on Wednesday). For the present, I'd suggest calling Bowery Ballroom (212) 533-2111 or Elbow Room (212) 979-8434 to see if they have more info. n.p. =Seconds= by Seely ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 01 Nov 1998 12:35:04 -0500 From: meredith Subject: dar williams online vote Hi!

I think most of the roles are small except for The Spanish Prisoner, where she has a central part (and does a great job with it). Anyone know what the music from Oleana is like? I never saw that one.
