Marcel wrote.. Hi, Has anyone on the list ever heard of Nordman? I'm thinking especially of our Scandinavian members, since it's a Swedish band. Apparently they were very popular in the mid-90's. I've just bought their album "Ingenmansland" from Skivhugget.se after a recommendation and it's very interesting music. I guess it classifies as "folkpop", because of the high 'singalong'-factor. A good example is the song "Det sista du ser" which is introduced by a flute with a very strong melody which continues throughout the track. I can't seem to find any info on the band on the Web, only a very old 'official' looking homepage. From my Swedish teacher I understand that the singer is now in jail since he used drugs and alcohol. Norman were quite big in Sweden for a while..Their first two cds sold remarkably well. The singer was in jail but I think he's out now..the band is defunct though. Anna Maria Yahoo!

I just got my copy of "HOME" and it's AMAZING! It's a very smooth, catchy album, the songs are great especially "Humdrum"! Okay I'm off to listen to more! :-) ~eric "trying to find a warm place to hide maybe born before your time how unfair to our human eyes how I wish you were alright 'cause I worry..." ~Sarah Slean ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 21:16:02 -0500 From: meredith Subject: jane song on tv Hi! First off: Happy Solstice, everyone!!! I'm enjoying a quiet evening accompanied by good company, purring cats, a merrily crackling fire, blinking little multicolored lights, and Goth seasonal music. Who could ask for a better Yule? :) What with one thing and another, I forgot to mention that Jane Siberry's "Calling All Angels" was used as an integral part of the climactic scene of this week's episode of ROSWELL. It was very well done and I was stunned to hear it! When it came right down to it I wasn't all that surprised, though. The folks in charge of picking music for the WB's stable of shows have shown rather ectophilic leanings all along. And of course "Calling All Angels" appeared on the last album Jane did for Warner Music. +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 22:17:34 -0500 From: "Kel Henson" Subject: Re: jane song on tv Hey, i think I heard this song in a movie recently too ..

I think so actually .. a lot of it was played at a really >emotional (albiet manipulative) part of the movie. yup. the song was re-recorded for use in the movie. apparently, there was a mix-up in the version which was included on the "pay it forward" soundtrack so jane has released a special edition single of the correct re-recording. the hazy details are at . woj ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 23:04:48 -0600 From: tenthvictim@mindspring.com Subject: Christmas Poem Evening, Ectopians In light of the recent deaths of musicians, and considering all the people who are hanging on to life for one more Christmas, I thought an airing of one of my old poems would be in order. Listening, Christmas 1982 The house is growing teeth, clear cold teeth which gape at the crystalline flakes roiling in the air, descended from the arctic, home of snow. And we are warm inside our snow cave, with its feelers reeled out, stretching to the cable on the pole. We listen to the world. The TV and phone chatter of other lands, other people, sadness, disappointment. But we're warm, and we've had another year without Death. Snow pocks the black folds of his shroud, as he stands peering into the window, ready to chill our warmth, risking the cutting teeth hanging over his head. We listen to tales of pain dropped from the wind. I hear the groaning of the roof, its burden of snow sounding like the murmurs of sleeping snow giants who dream of humans freezing before them. I count the teeth hanging from the eaves, wondering when Death will breach the warmth, bringing frozen tears. ****** Have a good Christmas, happy Hanukkah, pleasant Ramadan, warm Winter Solstice, charming Festivus, etc. Lyle n.p.
