I was just listening to a new EP I picked up at a recent show by the Booda Velvets at Arlene Grocery (last weekend) & realized they really might be a band worth sharing on this list...anybody else know of them? I've been a fan for 4 years since I heard them at acoustically at the same club, they're really wonderful, rock pretty hard but are very lush/orchestral even at times, with influences ranging from Jeff Buckley to Radiohead (lead singer Dan Cromie has an amazing, elastic instrument that similarly spans octaves ,and seems to sing effortlessly to the point of being hypnotic, at least watching him live...), and the entire band are great players, particularly the drummer who plays with a lot of emotion, and their guitarist who crosses between borderline mainstream-MTV hip-ness and more retro/eastern flavored, Led Zepplin & even U2-ish droning riffs...I may be making no sense here, it's late & I'm exhausted, but i just think some folks on this list would enjoy them, especially Dan's voice which is very lyrical & reminds me of Susan McKeown in a way! Hmm...yes, that comparison definitely works :) Check out their site, www.boodavelvets.com, I think they have mp3's on mp3.com too, but I'm not sure. When they play again, I'll try to remember to post, it'd been so long (2 years) since I'd seen them, I'd really forgotten what a great, unusual band they are. & I went to Arlenes to catch another band before them, but just ended up staying cuz I couldn't pull away...

Hm. I wish I had cable at home. Which reminds me - I saw another video on there a couple of weeks ago. Some pretty young thing singing something about driving through Georgia then on to Alabama (I guess she'd just left her man). Okay, that desciption sucks but I did actually really like the song - can anyone ID it for me? :) sherlyn ps - any other Australian Farscape fans here? =-= Sherlyn Koo - sherlyn@fl.net.au =-=-=-=-=-=-= [Sydney, Australia] "We will push on into that mystery And it'll push right back And there are worse things than that..." - Dar Williams ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2001 18:00:05 -0500 (EST) From: breinheimer@webtv.net (breinheimer) Subject: Re: Roxy sans Eno Just a guess but I tend to doubt that Eno would be interested in a reunion tour. I don't think that he and Bryan Ferry saw eye to eye on the group's musical direction. Still that breakup provided the impetus for four brilliant (imho) solo albums before Eno went ambient. And while Roxy put out several superb post Eno releases, Ferry eventually (imho) eviscerated the group, making the sound too slick and commercial for some tastes (mine included) . On a personal note I actually found a Bradlee's (going out of business) with a nice stock of budget (down from $1.00 to $.20) cassettes ( couldn't have hoped for cd's) from small independant labels. At those prices even a couple of inadvertant duplications of things I already own couldn't keep me from enjoying my first binge in awhile. Now if I can just find room for all of this. np: Divine Horsemen-Handful of Sand (and not even cutout). ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 00:02:28 -0500 From: Paul Kim Subject: Re: more reunions (blake babies) At 11:51 PM 1/29/01 -0700, Neal Copperman wrote: >Ok, so I doubt people will care about this quite as much as Roxy >Music, but it appears that the Blake Babies have reunited.

I care, because I got to assist on a session that they did a couple weeks ago at Fort Apache. They were doing B-sides for a Japanese only single, messing around with a bunch of different covers, including a REALLLLY slow version of I Wanna Be Sedated, complete with modulation down instead of up. This was the session where I found out that Juliana's dad went to Amherst College (actually, Juliana's dad and John Strohm's dad were classmates at Amherst and carpooled from the midwest to Amherst...but neither Juliana nor John knew about this until later) so, yeah.
