Hey all-- The NYTimes article that was mentioned here got me to thinking about small, independent record stores. I was wondering--as so many of y'all have been victims of the latest EWS outbreak, where is it that you folks go to shop in your various cities, states, countries? I was looking to put together a regional guide of good ectoshops for reference on my website. It might be good to have for people who travel around the country a lot, (like me), or for those of us that live in places with massive amounts of record shops (NYC, Chicago, London, etc.) to find out about places we might have missed. I'll start with mine: In Your Ear in Providence, RI--great selection of indie artists and good deals on cutouts/used stuff. Faces Records in Providence--pricey, but the staff knows me by name and face and will bring stuff in that they know I'll be interested in. World/Folk especially. Record Express in Hartford, CT--good used selection, but not much else. I can remember buying my first LP here when I was in 5th grade, though. Dr. Wax in Chicago, IL--low prices, the staff knows me and my tastes, they stock Happy's stuff on occasion, very fun. Strawberries Underground, Boston, MA--I know, they're a chain, but for cutouts they're fantastic. I've been known to walk out with 20 discs for 20 bucks. There is no organization to the music, so you're just pawing through scattered bins--the thrill of the hunt is a major factor here. Music Recyclery--various IL locations--entirely used stuff, with a good vinyl collection. Staff is a little grungey and not too bright I've found, but the stuff is well organized. Crow's Nest, Chicago, IL--Managed to find a copy of the yanked-off-the-market "Pristine Smut" by the Murmurs here. Pricey, though. So where do you folks shop, excluding online dealers and major chains? - --Kay ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Moving incrementally westward: Waterbury, CT: Brass City Records - new and used CDs and vinyl, very large selection but kinda haphazardly organized. Good selection of indies, decent selection of imports, some bootlegs available. Waterbury, CT: Phoenix Records - new and used CDs and vinyl, very very large selection. I have found things here no one else had. The downside is its not a great browser's shop for new CDs since most are "under glass" or under the counter in boxes (or not filed yet). You have to ask. The staff is low pressure and helpful, though. The used CDs and vinyl are easily browsable though. Brookfield, CT: Gerosa Records - New and used CDs and vinyl. A well organized and well lit store that's a pleasure to browse. Excellent selection of imports and progressive stuff. I've probably dropped the most buckage here in my 5 years of residence in this area. As for online, coincidentally I've been working on my website too.

Kiya Heartwood and Miriam Davis are the two members, and they occasionally have folks sit in. Kiya is an accomplished guitarist and often does workshops. Their music is somewhat folk oriented, but there are varied influences. Kiya's former band was Stealin' Horses which was ground to a pulp by the squids at Arista. I usually post their schedule because it gives the folks in the oft-ignored midatlantic/midwest something to go see.

That's one for the prequel. My own thoughts; we don't know what year it is (Morpheus was only guessing that it's 2199), we don't know what year the AIs took over, and we don't know how long it took them to build The Matrix (either version), and my guess is that there's more to the need for human minds than Morpheus could have known. Remember, the humans flushed out of the Matrix are nearly clueless about *everything* except that the rest of the humans are being held captive. In essence, Morpheus could well be wrong. That's not a cop-out, because the human history between the time of the beginning of the war to the time of the first Neo is almost completely unknown. They can't do anything except guess about why the AIs built the Matrix and what they want humans for. Maybe the AIs want to harness the human's processing power or study human creativity, which would explain the need to keep the pod people's minds active. The Agents don't refer to humans as "batteries," they use words like "crops" and "zoo" and even, quite rightly, "plague" (which makes me think of the debate surrounding the final destruction of the smallpox virus)...in any event, it's a topic for one of the other movies. >But the really burning question on my mind is this: what *was* the reason for >the window washers ?!? It set up the later scene when Thomas Anderson has to go out onto the ledge, but the water running down the window in rivulets also foreshadows the Matrix code. It's a very subtle effect, but it's there. That's why Thomas/Neo is so distracted while his boss is talking. Something is happening, but he doesn't know what. It's another splinter in his mind. >Does anyone know any good places explaining all these references and >connections? (I think I must have too much time on my hands...) Here's one that's incomplete, but still well done: http://members.xoom.com/moospring/tmfaq.html VM (I do go to other movies. I just saw Waking Ned Devine, and Gods and Monsters for the second time, and I'm going to see Election tonight. Tomorrow I'm doing a marathon of at least 4 or 5 movies, and only one of them will be The Matrix...) :-) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 May 1999 14:07:19 -0500 From: Mark Lowry Subject: At long last: Laurie Anderson Hi all, neal copperman wrote, like a week ago: > And Mark, we're still waiting for that review. OK, OK ... can't a guy have a life outside of Ecto? :-) Seriously, it has been one of the busiest weeks ever, what with the Creatures in town and several plays to see, and finally! a new episode of "Buffy" Now for that review of Laurie Anderson's "Songs and Stories of Moby Dick" Preface: I'm familiar with some of Laurie's recordings, but had never seen her in performance before. The person I went with had seen "The Ugly Ones" (was that the title?). He concluded that "Moby" was more focused (which makes sense, it is based on a specific work). He also liked the music in "Moby" more than "Ugly." The comment I have heard most often from people who had seen her before is that it was really weird to see her actually exit the stage. In the past she has been on stage the entire time. Here the three other main performers (Tom Nelis, Anthony Turner and Price Waldman) get equal stage time. And there are two dreamy songs from vocalist/sound designer Miles Green, which were among my favorites. I'd say that about 10 percent of the words used actually come from the Melville's novel. Laurie and the others act out some of the characters -- Nelis frequently steals the show with his interpretation of Ahab. Like the novel, there is a more to learn about than an obsessive sea captain's quest for an elusive white whale. Laurie notes in her statement about the piece that Melville would go into lengthy passages on subjects such as the life of polar bears and how to ready a harpoon. She does the same thing, going off on tangents about the anatomy of sperm whales, how they communicate with other whales, how the sperm whale got its name, what happens when a male becomes too old to lead his group. There's a great segment where she morphs her voice into this dark-side-of-the-force male voice and gives a scholarly and humorous lecture about Melville -- his life and why he wrote the book. From this she goes into a rather funny tribute to the ship's hangman, who wasn't a part of Melville's novel but somehow made it into the 1930 film version with John Barrymore. (Funny how motion pictures like to do that, huh?) Melville was obsessed with the Bible and there is tons of religious imagery in the novel. She also does this with related stories about Jonah and Noah, and paraphrases a few Biblical quotes, like "it's easier for a camel to slide though the eye of a needle..." There's also a great piece about cannibalism and Queequeg. (An aside: didn't Dana Scully name her little yappy dog after Queequeg, and didn't it get eaten by a giant alligator or lake monster or something?) Of course, all of this is accompanied by captivating video images of waves and stars and coral reefs and gears turning and clouds and cart-wheeling letters of the alphabet and metaphors to the image of white (as in, the white whale) and much more. She has her trademark violin and gives a few great, eerie solos, but doesn't sing very often, which I'm guessing is how her other pieces have been. Her newest toy is the Talking Stick, a long, white, cylindrical electronic thing that emits all sorts of strange and wonderful sounds (synthesized howling winds, ominous monastery chants, etc). They change pitch, tone, volume, etc. when she slides her hand down it. To change the sound totally she punches a button or switch toward the bottom of it. When armed with this instrument, Anderson and company dance around and handle it as if it were a harpoon and they are hunting. The piece has a few, well, boring, spots. Frankly, I could've used less time with the other actors -- especially Turner. It's obvious he's an opera and Broadway musical performer, because his vocals are just too big and theatrical for this piece. That would work if this were "Les Miserables" or some Andrew Lloyd Webber piece of schlock. But not when Laurie and the other performers have wonderfully strange and understated vocals. One thing prominent in Melville's novel which I haven't seen portrayed in any "Moby Dick" adaptation is the homoeroticism. Remember the scene where the crew members talk about (or maybe even do) dress up in the skin of the whale's penis? (It has been more than 10 years since I've read it, and after this, I want to read it again). Has anyone seen the opera "Billy Budd", based on the Melville book? Talk about homoeroticism. Did Melville have a thing for writing about all these men on long sea treks? Any Melville scholars out there? OK, well, I guess that's about it for this review. In short, I definitely recommend it and I hope I didn't spoil too much. I understand the album will be out in the fall. Can't wait. Later, Mark n.p. The Nields _Gotta Get Over Greta_ (recently purchased from the Ecto trading post, and I must say, I love it as much as I hoped I would, based on Ecto and Meredith hype). ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 13:09:47 -0700 From: Neile Graham Subject: Re: Where do you buy your CD's? Seattle, WA: Orpheum Records--Good prices on new releases, some used discs, good selection of offbeat stuff, most stock a little pricey, though. Cellophane Square--New & used. Great for indie stuff. The Landing--Small selection, but good for world stuff and the discs that dare not speak their names (aka b**ts). Supportive of local artists like Susan Court The Wall--a great place for experimental classical. They were the first place I ever ran across that had Iva Bittova in stock before her Nonesuch release Seattle also has lots of good used stores worth perusing: 2nd Time Around, Repeat the Beat, Nanoo's, Ruby's, Rubato in Bellevue... Vancouver, B.C.: A&B Sound, of course--good variety of popular and Canadian releases Zulu Records--New & used. New stuff is a little pricey compared to A&B, but they have more oddities and certainly less sales volume Victoria, B.C.: A&B Sound--slightly smaller selection than Vancouver, but still good Lyle's Records--New & used, very supportive of local artists--Good source of Sandra Lockwood's discs. Portland, OR: Ozone--New & used, great selection of strange imports. The store that's kittycorner to Ozone (I wish I could remember the name!)

God it still sends shivers down my spine > whenever I hear it. I hadn't replied to this thread yet because I knew I couldn't post anything to Ecto before the Laurie review, but ... "Tomorrow Wendy" is from my favorite album of all time, Concrete Blonde's "Bloodletting." (And yes, Neile, I'm still going to get you that Concrete Blonde/Pretty & Twisted/Vowel Movement/Johnette Napolitano entry for the Ectophile's Guide). I have seen Johnette thrice in concert (twice with CB, once with P&T), and when she does "Tomorrow Wendy" it's truly a chilling experience. She usually prefaces it with a short speech. Johnette had two friends in LA who dies from AIDS, and IMHO, this theme runs throughout the album ("The Sky is a Poisnous Garden," "I Don't Need a Hero"), culminating with "Tomorrow Wendy." I see the title track "Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)" as another AIDS song. Considering all the blood imagery, the vampire is a perfect metaphor for HIV/AIDS. "They used to walk in the garden in the middle of the night ... They were naked as the day they were born, skin all bone-china white O you were a vampire And I may never see the light." Of course, music can be a powerful Rohrshach Test. I know the album has other themes -- lost love ("Caroline"), alcoholism ("Joey"), etc. When this album came out, I found out that a good friend was HIV+. He died a few years later. We played this album all the time. But the reason that this album is still my favorite is not purely sentimental. I really think it's a masterpiece, and that Concrete Blonde is one of the most underrated bands ever. BTW, Johnette Napolitano's solo album is supposed to be out this summer. On to other AIDS songs, I recognized "Not the Red Baron" right off the bat -- "not anyone I really knew, just another pilot down .... the prettiest red ribbons," etc. Someone mentioned Suzanne Vega's "Blood Makes Noise," from _99.9 F._ Another album that seems to be riddled with AIDS songs and metaphors. See: title track, "Blood Makes Noise" and "When Heroes Go Down." Again, I could be totally off, but it's what I see in my musical Rohrshach test. Later, Mark np Hounds of Love, and remembering why "Watching You Watching Me", "The Morning Fog" and "Jig of Life" are probably all in my top 10 favorite songs. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 18:37:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Michael Colford Subject: Re: Kate B. song (was: songs about AIDS) On Sat, 8 May 1999, Mark Lowry wrote: > np Hounds of Love, and remembering why "Watching You Watching Me", "The Morning > Fog" and "Jig of Life" are probably all in my top 10 favorite songs.
