Keller" Subject: Sleater-Kinney Just to add to the Sleater-Kinney buzz: I first saw them in 1996, shortly after their first full-length =Call the Doctor= (which finished in a tie for Best Album with =Boys for Pele= on my list for that year) came out, at Meow Mix (the lesbian bar featured in =Chasing Amy=), from =literally= a foot away. One of the musical high points of my life. And I've seen them more than a half-dozen times since, and no question they are one of the greatest live bands I've ever seen. I had an experience at one show with "I'm Not Waiting" (maybe my favorite song of theirs) similar to someone else's mentioned here, and there was that CBGBs show where, when they hit the surge in the middle of "Call the Doctor," I thought for a minute I was going to have a heart attack. I find myself saying to people that they may be the best band in the world right now. If you have a chance to see them, =go=. (My budget will determine how many of the three shows they're doing here at Irving Plaza I will go to.) =Entertainment Weekly= has a note this week about the fact that William Shatner's backup band in his recent commercial includes Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney and Mary Timony of Helium (the latter, in solo mode, opened for Sleater-Kinney last year, and made a single with Brownstein under the band name the Spells). My vote for the best band in Boston right now (given that Dirt Merchants and Shiva Speedway don't seem to be extant any more) is Victory at Sea, a dark, noisy guitar/bass/drum trio whose first full-length =The Dark Is Just the Night= was on my 10 Best list for last year. (The segue is that the band's drummer Christina Files played with Mary Timony on the Sleater-Kinney tour last year.) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2000 20:39:10 -0500 From: meredith Subject: Re: Joan Osborne Hi!

At least I know exactly how her new album is going to sound. (Froom just keeps making the same album over and over and over...)

(Froom just keeps making the same album > over and over and over...) I don't know, he and Tchad Blake produced Cibo Matto's first album, _Viva! La Woman_ and it was so brilliantly done and wonderful, and that doesn't sound anything like, say, _9 objects of desire_... and you know, Cibo Matto's second album sucked SO BAD in comparison. Alas. > (Not that that's necessarily a bad thing!) At least I know my Joan is in good hands... I've been CRAVING NEW MATERIAL for AGES... I love _Relish_, I still listen and holler along. ;D John ===== [self-indulgent all-eyes-on-JOHNNY] Quote of the day : "How irritating, now we're going to be back into this whole studly-poet thing that just eliminates the call for fucked-up gash sluts like us. *sob*" - - John "Who?"
