I was disappointed in Surfacing when it first came out. Sporofic is how I've described the thing ever since it came out. An EP's worth of good songs, a couple with a pulse, and the remainder being a shiny plastic valium. Here's my comment quoted in the Guide: "I guess that's the difference between Surfacing and her other cds... Surfacing is sleep-inducing while the others are just sleep-conducive."

Anybody going to see SixMileBridge at Flannigan's in Bethesda, Maryland this week? They're playing October 19 - 21st. I'll be there Wednesday night. If you don't know about SixMileBridge, they've got a web site at, well, www.sixmilebridge.com. SixMileBridge is a Celtic group from Houston, Texas, so their music's got to be good! If there's one CD of theirs to get, it's Across the Water. - --Bill n.p. Donna Adler (no relation) All the Riches in the World w.i.w.n.p.

Hey, Here's a couple new shows to end the year with... The following show will be at Martrys', 3855 N. Lincoln Ave. Chicago. The phone number is (773) 404-9494. PROJECT LO Featuring HAPPY RHODES: Thurday, November 11th 9pm Project Lo mixes world beat textures and ambient sound akin to art house rockers Brian Eno and Laurie Anderson into a darkly mysterious musical environment. Bon Lozaga adds new dimension to his post modern chamber ensemble with vocalist Happy Rhodes, another avant garde favorite. Those of you who caught the BON show earlier in the year know what to expect in the way of intense, but not pummeling/in your face grooves. This time around, in the guise of Project Lo, the intensity is definitely still there, only taking more of an acoustic and definitely more sinister bent. The addition of Happy Rhodes' elegant vocals and her dark and twisted approach to pop music makes her a perfect addition to Project Lo. And speaking of Happy...what a voice!!! Her remarkable 4 octave vocals dance chameleon-like over the music, sometimes fooling the listener into believeing there's more than one vocalist at work. While critics easily compare her to the likes of Kate Bush and Laurie Anderson, the combination of Rhodes' unusual register and technical skill establish her as an uncategorizable performer blazing her own trails. For more info on Happy Rhodes, check this url out: http://www.smoe.org/ecto/ Also, I have 5 Project Lo "Black Canvas" discs to give away. "Black Canvas" is their latest and features Happy doing a really cool version of Peter Gabriel's "Mercy Street". The first five people who e-mail me AND come to the show will get the disc. Playing in support of Project Lo will be the THIRD COAST STRING QUARTET. More info about them will be forthcoming in the next update. The following show will be at Schubas, 3159 N. Southport Ave. Chicago. The phone number is (773) 525-2508. Tickets are available either at the door or, you can buy them on line by visiting their web sight at http://schubas.com/info.html PRESTON REED: Wednesday, December 22 Preston Reed plays acoustic steel string guitar in a revolutionary, self-created percussive style that organically integrates melodies and drum rhythms. Merging jazz, blues, funk, folk and ethnic musical traditions with the combined skills of a percussionist, keyboardist and guitarist, Preston's propulsive two-handed rhythms and dynamic multi-timbral compositions transform the guitar as we know it into a new instrument. Called "phenomenal" by Al DiMeola and "inspiring" by the late Michael Hedges, Preston's worldwide solo concerts have been dazzling the musical elite while at the same time challenging an entire generation of musicians to think differently about the creative possibilities of a solo instrument. The MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE calls him "electrifying...an innovative guitarist who, with his resourceful techniques, can make one acoustic guitar sound like a full rock band." GUITAR WORLD MAGAZINE calls him a "revolutionary guitarist who plays his instrument like a drum kit as much as a guitar." The LOS ANGELES TIMES wrote, "an amazing array of sounds...acoustic guitarist Preston Reed literally hammers out his musical groove". A self-educated composer and stylistic innovator, Preston's visually fascinating, kinetically-charged performances are cited as often for their soulful musicality as for their inventiveness. ACOUSTIC GUITAR MAGAZINE recently wrote, "Seeing Preston Reed perform is a jaw-dropping experience. His technical feats are all dedicated to the pursuit of music, and his compositions are beautifully conceived and richly melodic." More info about Preston can be found at: http://itascasw.com/prestonreed/ I'm still trying to hammer out a date for former Shadowfax guitarist G.E. Stinson. It would be an all improv. performance, and based on what I've heard from a pre-release of his new disc it promises to be red hot! Blistered post punk razor blade guitar noise, feedback excess and wah wah groove culminating into eventual orgasmic deconstructions. How's that?
