Now one can just casually appear without my knowing anything about it. Actually, it was mentioned on ecto over a week ago, first by Joe Zitt. I'd be talking about it if I could find the durned thing -- I was hoping to buy a copy when I went out to get _Faith and Courage_ but of course, couldn't find it. It also was not listed in either CDNow or Amazon's database -- it seemed that the only way to order it was through petergabriel.com. I was, however, able to find a little more info online, including the facts that it features, amongst others, Neneh Cherry and Liz Frazer. jeff ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2000 07:33:17 -0700 (PDT) From: anna maria "stjärnell" Subject: Sarafia Eden Hi..

Free Radio Oregon Hill is a pirate radio station in Richmond, VA. It is currently heard at 92.7 FM in the Fan, North Side, and parts of West End, Southside, Downtown. FROH tries to be on on 24 hours, 7 days a week, but lately the station has been off the air more frequently due to station maitenance and thunderstorms. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS INFO WITH MEMBERS OF MEDIA OR LAW ENFORCEMENT. Here is some of the music that has aired recently: Various Artists World Warped III SideOneDummy Live, unreleased tracks by NOFX, Bad Religion, Blink 182, Pennywise, Dropkick Murphys, Papa Roach, No Use For A Name, Less Than Jake, H2O, Floggin Molly, Lunachicks, MXPX, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Unwritten Law, 7 Seconds, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Hot Water Music, Gob, LIT, Royal Crown Revue, Anti-Flag, The Line, Supersuckers, The Amazing Crowns, and One Man Army! Various Artists Mash It Up 2000 DVS Media/BIB The latest edition of this Boston ska compilation series has bands like The Allstonians, The Brass Monkeys, Take 5, Shoeless Joe, Bim Skala Bim, Jaya The Cat, Green Island, Steady Earnest, and much, much more. Boston has perhaps the best ska scene in the world with a great mix of traditional and modern sounds. Various Artists CMJ New Music Report Issue 83, July 2000 CMJ/ChangeMusic Ok, ok, FROH broke down and got a subscription to this corporate new music source so it could get more new music for the airwaves. This issue features stuff from The Deftones, Paddy Casey, U.P.O., Knife In The Water, Modest Mouse, Sunny Day Real Estate, Ultimate Fakebook, Jeff Buckley, Snake River Conspiracy, Tahiti 80, The Getaway People, Zion I, The Workhorse Movement, Charlie Watts, Blue Man Group, Anthony Rother, The Amazing Crowns. Various Artists CMJ New Music Report Issue 82, June 2000 CMJ/ChangeMusic Also played their previous issue a lot. Has P.O.D., A Perfect Circle, THe Step Kings, Pitchshifter, Primal Scream, Bargain Music, Mekons, Steve Earle, Clem Snide, Dusty Trails, The Jayhawks, XTC, The Flys, Bender, Bad Religion, Noogie, Brak, Boom Bip & Doseone, Amon Tobin, Tin Hat Trio, Lullaby Baxter Trio. FROH has also been playing stuff from the May issue. I am not going to list it here other than to say the Eels and John Coltrane tracks rock. Various Artists Boston Not London, Vol. 1 C.F.O.M. FROH loves Boston and vice versa. Regional techno compilation has stuff from Cychsy, Clink Feedback, Galapagos, Toys, Skweakday, Owa-Owa, Still So Beautiful, and many others. Various Artists State Of The Art Heirloom Toshoklabs Sound sculptures by artists Antartika, Ocone, Don Rainwater, Mark Hadley, Headshell, Taylor. Very interesting ambient/noise. THanks to Toshoklabs for sending this to the station. Various Artists Sound Options systorm technologies Even more techno comes from this excellent compilation. It has tracks by pacman, ocone, thug, bokatsu, syndrone, s.i.n.e. w.a.v.e., and others. I would like to give a shout-out to the IDM music list on hyperreal.org for sharing the love. Various Artists San Fransisco Sessions feat. DJ John Howard Vol.2 Om The techno dont stop thanks to a Plan 9 clerk who will go nameless. This slightly more mainstram compilation has Martin Solveig, Midnight City Soul Affair, Bjorn Torske, Freeloader, Dan Jones, Children of The Planet Earth, Plastic Avengers, Underworld, Groove Collective and others in various states of remix. Various Artists At Home With THe Groovebox Grand Royal Another holdover from last month, this compilation has beat-enfused joints from Buffalo Daughter, Air, Pavement, Beck, Sonic Youth, Dick Hymen, Gershon Kingsley, and more. Various Artists Unbound Project: No More Prisons Indie hip hop compilation that I think includes Blackalicious and Poor Righteous Teachers. I do not have too much info cause my brother burned this on cd-r for me. He also gave me the Control Group and 53rd State. XTC Wasp Star TVT The stellar pop follow-up to Apple Venus. Camper Van Beethoven is Dead, Long Live Camper Van Beethoven Pitch-A-Tent Very cool retrospective/unearthing of college radio (back when it was cool) of Mr Lowery and company. Has some fun previously unreleased tracks. Thanks to Pitch-A-Tent. The Lawrence Arms Ghost Stories Asian-Man Superfast, melodic punk with a good dose of snottiness sparechange00 ...at first sight Cargo Pop punk fun from Ohio. Samite Stars to Share Windham Hill A holdover from last month mainly because he finally toured through Richmond. Unfortunately, the show was rained out and we will have to wait until next time Samite comes to town to hear his unique Ugandan Afropop songs. Veruca Salt Resolver Velveteen/Beyond/BMG Female alt rock beast returns with a vengence. The Control Group Humiliator Progeria Punk jazziness. 53rd State forward motion secret ingredient Jazz punkness. Paul Duffy The Moon Is Hollow Geographic Very entertaining singer/poet who must be the uncle of Richmond's own Archie Crisis. Radford (self-titled) BMG Alternative rock- do you feel like a star now? Softball (self-titled) Asian Man A young female punk trio from Japan. Silo I Am Cargo? Lost the info on this one but itis in the cd player right now. Great alt rock band that knows how to make moving songs that rock. Local Stuff: Hellel cd-r demo A local heavy rock band that brings The Cult to mind. Car 44 Platinum Holes Thirsty Ear A Va. Beach band rock band that tears it up with killer female vocals. These are the only local cds FROH has received lately. Besides the new Planetarium 2cd techno compilation, Cracker 2cd b-sides album, the station has played not-so-recent stuff from Los 10 Space and The Trouble With Larry. Some djs have been rumored to have been seen playing some Amie Mann off her new cd. Besides more local stuff, FROH could use the new Sonic Youth, King Sunny Ade, Nelly, Sleater-Kinney, Calexico, Make Up, Ween, Wayne Gorbea & Salsa Picante, The Spinanes, Dead Prez, Cephalic Carnage, Johnny Cash, The Phantom Surfers, Devo, if any of you record company gods care to give it up. Not too much else to report. Various schemes to improve FROH delayed by Stomp Stomp Dave's endless supply of beer and porn. Sorry to hear that Humphrey J's closed down. While watching a cable access phone-in, I asked that politician Cantor if he was going to support the low power radio efforts if he was elected to take Congressman Bliley's seat and he said he did not know enough about the issue, the lying sack of you know what. Anyway, FROH t-shirts available at Plan 9. Thanks for listening and keep the faith. - -Scott P.O.

She described it as a low production, "simple" album that she wanted to "release into the wind" for those fans who would care for something of the sort. At the time, it was still in the planning stage and i think she spoke of a fall release. Btw, for anyone thinking of visiting this part of the planet this summer: Jorane is playing at the Quebec City Summer Festival on July 12 & 14. The first gig is on an outdoor stage, the second is at a small club/bar. $8 gives you access to all concerts for the duration of the festival (10 days): www.infofestival.com She is also playing at Les Francofolies de Montreal on Aug 4 & 5. Tickets are 17.50 + tax.

In addition to a comprehensive interview about her background, influences and career-philosophies, they've also posted a few photos and "Sistersong" for all to see & hear.

Stunning. I recall a week or so ago commenting parenthetically about the Basque MP3s that I had downloaded, and expressing bewilderment, contempt and dismay about the whole MP3/Napster/etc. thing. My resolve is strengthened. What my computer put out, dare I say this, is the most gossamer ectoplasm of this recording. To those of you who have only heard them on 1.25" Dixie cup computer speakers, buy the CD forthwith and at minimum take it to a stereo store (not Circuit City) or a friend's who has a decent stereo, to listen to this. You'll thank me. Better yet, get over the internet thing and buy yourself a decent set of tunes. Peter C ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V6 #177 **************************
