I should be writing a paper and I am absolutely exhausted, but I had to respond to this thread about Marianne Nowottny and her new album Manmade Girl being tagged the most significant album of this millennium. Yes, the reviewer, Mr. Joe S. Harrington, was being slightly cheeky by making such a seemingly audacious comment when the millennium has only just begun. Yet, I think he chose his words carefully, partially to elicit a reaction (and an appropriate one, I think, as this curiosity should impel all of you to go out and buy that new album! It is truly remarkable), and also as a show of confidence in Marianne's work. Since we are only nearing the end of the first year(s) of the new millennium, I think Harrington's claim also illustrates his belief that despite the limited competition thus far, Marianne Nowottny's new album can still maintain that title. Ultimately, regardless of what genre-busting, label-defying masterpieces emerge in the coming years (and that all of you fine ecto people here will disuss), Harrington asserts that Marianne's album and abilities will stay at the top. But what does he know? And more importantly, what do I know? I guess the best way to respond to this would be for everyone to do their homework and return with feedback. : ) So.....decide for yourselves. And fill us in! www.abatonbookcompany.com, no?

Colford" Subject: Re: catching up: Mae Moore I'm a big Mae Moore fan, so I thought I should comment. You're description, "frothy expresso drinks served by a slightly distracted waitress in a black turtleneck in a trendy little non-chain cafe in Vancouver," is pretty funny and actually when I read it, pretty accurate. Mae's voice and music always reminded me of drifting in a pleasantly warm, sun-dappled sky. Her voice just soars, and the music is so gentle and soothing it just relaxes me. And while I agree, her albums are hardly life-changing... a few of her songs move me incredibly. Off the top of my head, I would include "Because of Love," and "Fine" in that category. I do have her self-titled album put out by Big Hip, and I think it's pretty good (although I prefer her two previous.) I can see why some might compare it to Jann Arden's stuff (which I also enjoy, it's great pop, intelligently written.) It's a little less dreamy than "Bohemia" and "Dragonfly," more down-to-earth. I'd even say there's a tinge of the blues hidden in there somewhere. Still, Mae's voice is soothing, and drifts about in the clouds, but she does get down a bit more, in songs like "Serial Girlfriend," and "What Jimmy Said to Me." I've also got last year's "Mae Moore Collected Works, 1989-1999" collection. Not sure why, I pretty much knew all the songs, but it's a nice collection with great liner notes and a couple remixes and single versions. Plus, I'd never picked up "Oceanview Motel" for some reason so it was nice to hear some of those songs. It wasn't until I read the liner notes for this that I realized all the great guests she's had helping her out. Sure, I knew about Steve Kilbey, but other 'names' include Gordon Downie of The Tragically Hip (whose new solo album, "Coke Machine Glow," is not only terrific, but it features film directing genius Atom Egoyan on guitar!), Phil Comparelli from 54-40, Peter Koppes and Ash Sood. This collection is a good place to start if you're interested in hearing a nice sampling of Mae's stuff. Michael (can't get enough of those Canadians) C. n.p. Mae Moore - Mae Moore n.r.

The last time I ordered from Sheeba I assumed that a Canadian company would charge me in Canadian dollars. I got a bit of (an expensive) shock when I found out I'd been charged in US$. Jane was concerned about her pricing at the shows, and asked for input. If you drop them a line, you might be able to get them to reduce their pricing. As a point of comparison, I just sent 1 CD to the UK via the USPS Express Mail service (EMS), which provides 3-5 day service. The charge is only $5 for an envelope that will hold a CD... Also, I wanted to mention that Amazon.co.uk has been a great source for obtaining UK imports. They charge #10.20 for most CDs, and shipping is very reasonable (#4 for 3-4 cds) and extremely quick to the east coast of the US (3-4 days). - -j ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2001 11:28:30 EST From: Dracovixen@aol.com Subject: Ecto Guide What I would like to know, is that since almost every ecto digest has one or two more artists that people are reccommending, are you sending these reccomendations to the Ecto Guide? I see reviews and comments, and descriptions of music along with these recs, and named albums and such...well, is anyone paying enough attention to have them sent to the Guide? I work as a radio dj, and I have found this list to be very valuable, especally considering that one of my shows is a show that features the woman's voice. I try to keep track of everyone's recs, such as Solex and Marianne Nottowy, but it starts to get out of hand since I check my mail at various places and times, and then I thought to myself, wait a sec, what about the Guide? But the Guide seems to scant when compared to the wealth of info that is given here. (I'm not dissin' the Guide, it's a wonderful tool, I'm just trying to make a point.) I just hope that everyone is sending all these wonderful recs to the Guide. They can be added, right? I'm not trying to make more work for the webmaster/mistress (you see how much I pay attention to how this all works), I just think that it would really help everyone out, including those that are that heavily into finding new music such as I am. But hey, if you haven't the time, that's understandable.

My editors and I do what we can, but we all have a lot of other commitments. How the Ectophiles' Guide works: I save all the comments on ecto that have "review" type comments in them. Then if the author hasn't given me either blanket permission to quote or a general permission to quote simply by giving a warning, I have to write to the author to ask for permission. This is a real bottleneck for me, as I am currently 14 months behind in this (any email-prompt, reliable person willing to take this particular task on?) Then one of the editors needs to take that artist on to create the file. As you can imagine, this process takes a while, too, and is another bottleneck. We have backlog of 1,500 files and over 500 files currently onsite that we like to update. Then I get the file/update, adapt it to our style as necessary, and upload it. Anyway, if anyone wants to help, here's what you can do: Easiest: - --when you find a typo or dead link in any file you browse in The Ectophiles' Guide, let us know so we can correct it - --check your comments, and update when necessary - --send us a contributor's bio - --remind us periodically that you think the Guide is useful, so we continue to feel it's worth the zillions of hours we've put into it A little harder: - --take on an artist you want to have onsite and give me the info & comments we need to create the file (I can let you know what we need if you tell me who you're interested in doing) - --send me update info for artists who are onsite and have new albums (we need year of release, label, catalogue #, who the musicians are and what they do/play, who produced the album, and any comments you want to offer) Harder still: - --become an Ectophiles' Guide editor: use our html template and the comments we have on file and organize an html file for the artist - --volunteer to review the discs that come into us for review Hardest: - --Take on the permissions task described above (please please please) Anyway, this is the state of the project. We have a group of dedicated editors/reviewers whom I am extremely grateful for. We have Damon who keeps the site programmed and functioning. And we have an editor-in-chief (me) who remains committed to keeing the project going, but is personally a little overcommited. We all keep it going and growing as best we can. - --Neile for The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music At 11:28 AM -0500 11/19/01, Dracovixen@aol.com wrote: >What I would like to know, is that since almost every ecto digest has one >or two more artists that people are reccommending, are you sending these >reccomendations to the Ecto Guide?

I've been working hard on arranging it, but I neglected to find the time to write a big flowery email about it to all my friends. To make up for that, I'm including at the bottom a copy of what Scissorkiss' manager wrote up for their mailing list, about this show. Excuse my lameness and come anyway? Scissorkiss is an industrial synthpop band that Liz Nickrenz joined at the beginning of the year, as lead singer and co-writer. This band is a great setting to hear Liz's beautiful voice working with other instrumentalists. Molly Zenobia is a pianist/songwriter whose music I've been obsessed with since I first met her and saw her play, last September. I literally haven't missed a single one of her gigs since then, except for a couple she did in Los Angeles while visiting family. Molly's got a great new band she put together this spring. It's dark, powerful, gothic, rock, folk, newage, classical, ethereal, emotional. Dresden Dolls is Amanda Palmer on piano, and her guitarist/drummer. Liz Nickrenz recommended Amanda to me, and I finally got to see Dresden Dolls live when they played WBRS last week. I was blown away and had trouble catching my breath or thinking about anything else for the next hour. The show is going to be at the Middle East (upstairs) in Central Square, Cambridge, this Monday night, November 19th. It's an early show, doors at 8pm and we expect to be done by midnight. The order will be Scissorkiss first, Molly Zenobia second, Dresden Dolls third, hopefully with very quick set changes. 18+, $7, T accessible. Please come if you can! This will be an amazing show, especially if you like piano used powerfully, or gothic rock, or strong female vocals. If you happen to know who Veda Hille is, and like her, I think you'll like this show. (I know I'm sending this to a few people who probably can't go :) To get to The Middle East, take the red line to Central Square. Walk down Mass Ave a couple of blocks in the direction towards MIT (away from Harvard). The Middle East is right at the corner of Brookline Street and Mass Ave (Brookline Street is the small side street that TT's and Manray are on). If you're coming by car, you should be able to find parking on one of the Cambridge public lots on Bishop Allen Drive. That's the road that runs parallel to Mass Ave, one block away. It's behind the Harvest food co-op, Pearl Art & Craft, etc. - those stores have their backs to the parking lots. Directions from the Mass Pike are simple: Just take the Brighton/Cambridge exit, and after the toll booth, fork right (following the sign for Cambridge/Somerville). Go across the bridge over the river, and keep going straight on Prospect Ave until you reach the first really big intersection. That's Central Square. Go straight one more block (that is, go past Mass Ave) and at the next light, turn right on Bishop Allen and look for a parking lot. Okay, here's what Scissorkiss sent out to their mailing list: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Paisley Rojagato" To: "info@scissorkiss.net" Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2001 23:16:47 -0500 Subject: Scissorkiss @ Middle East Monday 11/19 Pushing the sustain pedals to the metal: Monday, November 19 at the Middle East Upstairs: Three bands. Three gorgeous, nervey women at the mic: Scissorkiss, with Liz Amadea Nickrenz in a three-way collaboration in words and music with guitarists Mathew Fuller and jhimm. Electronic scissycore. http://www.scissorkiss.net Molly Zenobia, from New York, a classic jazz trio structure (keyboards, bass, drums) with a deep well of mezzo-ethereal. http://www.mollyzenobia.com The Dresden Dolls, featuring Amanda Palmer (aka, the 8-foot Bride of Harvard Square). Percussive piano and Brechtian punk. This is one of the most layered, haunting shows we've been involved with. Liz, Molly, and Amanda share a background in the singer-songwriter tradition, and each brings color and forcefulness to the interpretation of lyrics. However, the instrumentals (Scissorkiss's guitars, Molly's keyboards, Dresden Doll's percussion) also shine through, providing depth and context, as well as atmosphere and mood. All at the Middle East Upstairs, corner of Mass Ave and Brookline St in Central Square, Cambridge MA, Monday 11/19. Doors at 8, 18+, $7.

As an editor who is already not all that prompt at getting web pages done and fairly overcommitted with the rest of my life, I'm a little reluctant to volunteer to do this. However, I would be willing to help out. Here is a suggestion: If there are more people who are willing to help out, we can divide up the alphabet between us. Even if it's only Nea/il(e)'s you have only half the work :) But the more people who volunteered, the less work there would be. Alternately, I guess the task (or tasks) could move from person to person. Maybe someone else could do it for a year, and then pass it on.

I can state that the Ectophile's Guide is free to include any statement that I post to the list, unless I ask explicitly that it not be included.

A new F&tM record shouldn't require much elaboration for anybody who doesn't mind a little extra aggression in their Ecto (and the band is actually rather more goth in costume than sound, it seems to me), but if you need an extra incentive, the first cover is a fairly invigorating version of Kate's "Running Up That Hill". There's also an unnervingly accurate version of the Chameleons' "Soul in Isolation", and if you can imagine those two songs combined you've got a pretty good idea of what Faith and the Muse generally sound like on their own material... glenn ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V7 #332 **************************
