Hey, that's what I was going to say! They had them at Susan's show in SF at the close of Peter & Wendy, and Brandon had them at his booth at Folk Alliance. I'll be seeing Susan in a few weeks and would be happy to pick up copies for anyone who wants them. In SF, they were $15 (plus postage if I get them for you, though I might be able to negotiate a bargain if I buy enough). neal np: Vihma - Varttina ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Mar 1999 00:03:44 -0700 From: neal copperman Subject: Re: Folk Alliance 3: the very good At 11:22 PM -0500 3/3/99, Michael Curry wrote: >At 11:41 PM 3/2/99 -0700, neal copperman wrote: > >>Whirligig - > Despite the fact that you changed your mind about this, I have >to say that my opinion of Lisa matches your original one.

(and if you are laughing at me remember i can still beat you up!) _Nine_Objects_of_Desire_. truth be told i never got into Suzanne's work so much before about _99.9_F_, but that's me and not her, or maybe it was her, or me and her, and just noplace we both were together. there was, i mean. noplace. us. like a lover you never really *talked* to until suddenly one day... and i don't like every song on _9OoD_, i even skip a few, which almost i never do. but i love "Caramel", oh yes, that's one place we *both* go for sure, who says to me there's noplace to get a good dessert at 3am on a wednesday has no idea, oh none at all. mmmmmmm. and it wonders me, what, or *who*, or what with whom, inspired, "Stockings", a breath espired deep, for sure, and shared, for doubly sure. and maybe it's a shore that i'll not see, an ocean i may never cross, but "World Before Columbus" is, and i am there, then, just the same, copper hair on golden shores, knowing i've been here before, here all along, hereforevermore. and since it's like it's my job or something to like the unlovable, i should say that the other day i heard "You Oughta Know" for the first in oh such long a time and it reminded me of everything i liked about _JLP_, that little bag of diamonds in the rough, and realized to me why _SFIJ_ really needed to be a Brian Eno album, not that i'd wish it on him, parenthetically or hypothetically, and called instead "Music for Self-Therapy". toss the 'zac, Alanis, quit therappe and lose the self-reflective angst, give in to the Dark Side of Something and revel in petty, childish pissedness at the world. it's the only damn thing you do well but damn my sweetie, you do do it well! and while i'm on a roll... the Murmurs. which some of you will remember, if the doctors were quick and you didn't lose too much blood and if the therapist is *really* good and you can think about them now without the twitches and the pains... they've come a long way i think, really, no really, i mean it! and i saw them on tv once covering some Beatles song and i'm not even a real Beatles fan and still i thought it was sacrilege, and painful and i could not watch it. but the drugs worked, or something, like uncle Tim always promised and now they're just *so* much better! still a poor caffeine to the crystal meth of Veruca Salt... but oh well. straight girls always break up, dykes just don't know when to quit.

Robin Guthrie ran the show, and the band did let him, and not to say the word regret, but rather to say that he would not produce for them again in that way, though they have remained friendly and intertwined. Lush of _Spooky_ bore a beautiful doomed child, a delightful miscarriage, an at-times-brilliant mistake never to be repeated. Lush of later years i do still love, but as with _Treasure_ and Silmarils, there are some heights to which one may never return. i kind of like J+MC but never got into them or i should say they never got into my checkbook, there is still of course time for this and many other things besides. if you thought them too dissonant i would gently suggest you try to borrow anything by My Bloody Valentine and Curve before you buy. Curve are something else again, so much of their music, i later found out, i love it cos it's in a weird way Siouxsielike in that the beats and rhythms are firstborn in the family, the guitars do follow, and in Curve, they follow and follow and follow, maybe up to 6 in a line behind. i do love Curve near as to Lush, and i care not to argue about what "shoegazer" means, surely Tim has paid more mind in the classes of those days than i, but i will tell you this, that Lush are not near Curve on my shelves, which are ordered, such order as it is, by type of music and not by name. -v.s. - --- words are my toys, and i play rough! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Mar 1999 21:52:46 +1100 From: Andrew Fries Subject: Re: Jeff Lang was: Folk Alliance In a message "Re: Jeff Lang was: Folk Alliance" on 03/Mar/1999 22:30:15 Carolyn Andre says: > In fact, Kavisha Mazzella, the Italian/English/Australian woman Oh, Kavisha was there too?

Gaslight are apparently one of the older and better record stores in Melbourne, something of an institution. But they are only beginning to branch out into on-line sales and this might explain the 'unique approach' you mention. In any case, there is another source for Jeff Lang CDs - Greg's Music World at lists "Disturbed Folk" and "Native Dog Creek" as well as "Cedar Grove". I think this on-line shop uses a more standard approach, but I can't really vouch for them since I never had any dealings with them. They seem to have a fairly decent selection; I just looked up Kavisha and they had her "Mermaids in the well" too, even though they list her as "Kaviska". Oh well, close enough I suppose :) - ------------------------------------------------------ The world is divided into good people and bad people.

If there was a surprise in listening to these early albums, it was the uniform success of everything, something like looking at a mountain range where some mountains might be higher than others, but every song was way above expectations. I also experienced the gradual sorting out Patrick refers to, perhaps not so much in the way of finding favorites as in the ability to identify the landmarks that distinguished one from another. There is a basic similarity in the A/B/A forms used, but the melodies are so inventive that you get to know them all, even if at first they seem to have a striking similarity. I also found Happy's monster paintings a bit much, but her music triggered visions of my own. I turned both "The Drears" and "Suicide Song" into laser projection pieces. These were seen by the future Mrs. Ditto when that particular laser show (the Raytel Halloween Show) toured to Rochester where Bev was a computer graphics student. She didn't meet me for another year or so, but she certainly remembered the animation. Thanks for the inspiration, Happy. Tom ditto@taconic.net "Do you copy? Over..." n.p.

Nope, that's the title of the album. I've bought all my copies at Best Buy, of all places. I've also seen it at Borders. As for online, I imagine it's fairly widely available. Amazon definitely has it (search titles for "peter & wendy" -- if you search on "Johnny Cunningham" it'll insist that there isn't one, but when it finds P&W, it tells you that the album is by...yup, Johnny Cunningham. ). CDNow also has it, but it's more expensive than Amazon. It's also wrong in their database...you won't find it if you search peter & wendy under soundtracks, but you will find it under regular album titles... jeff np: _From the Himmelvault, Volume One_, Peter Himmelman ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Mar 1999 15:19:59 -0800 From: Neile Graham Subject: SUE de NYM in concert (In Toronto) & GLAMA nominees Thought people might be interested in both Sue de Nym (I've only heard one song off a sampler album, but liked what I heard enough that I've ordered her disc--just don't have it yet) and the GLAMA nominee info later on. - --Neile >From: "Suzanne Nuttall" >To: "Suzanne Nuttall" >Cc: "Suzanne Nuttall" >Subject: SUE de NYM in concert & GLAMA nominees >Date: Thu, 4 Mar 1999 17:23:59 -0500 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >X-Priority: 3 >X-MSMail-Priority: Normal >X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 > > zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz >If you want to be removed >from our mailing list, >simply reply to this e-mail and write REMOVE >in the subject header.

Could be worth checking into if you're a musician, or just watching if, like me, you're not! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 22:16:05 -0500 From: meredith Subject: ecto tour info Hi!

Well, according to both amazon and musicblvd, it was released on 2/18. musicblvd claims it'll ship within 24 hours, while amazon sez it's a special order that will take 4-6 weeks. thanks for the kind offer, neal, but I'll probably just order it from musicblvd, as it's only $12.59... jeff np: _Nigunim_, Sklamberg/London/Caine - -- |Jeffrey C.

Hey, this is what the net is for.... Did you try to find these things on-line or see about ordering back issues? Time magazine has the last 5 years or so on-line. I couldn't find anything called "Is Feminism Dead?" last year, though the first link below has the cover for a story called "Who put the ME in feminism?" The second is the Time Archive. http://cgi.pathfinder.com/time/magazine/1998/dom/980629/cover1.html http://cgi.pathfinder.com/time/magazine/archive/text/0,2647,0,00.html Rolling Stone is less generous, but you still get the cover stories, if not the whole magazine.

When I asked Brendan about it last week, his answer was to the effect that North Star often does regional releases; I believe the early-1999 date was to the east coast, and targeted for some music or record industry event back that way. Odd, but I guess it makes a kind of 'music industry' sense. (aargh! that corporate stuff) Regards, Carolyn Andre - ------------------- Chicago, IL / USA | Support Independent Music!
