The other 9 Kristin Hersh - Sunny border blue [addictive & textured & complicated - like Kristin herself] Mystic - Cuts for luck, scars for freedom [extraordinary writing, flawless beats] OutKast - ATLiens [yes, this is from 1996 - so sue me, it still sounds pimp] Marianne Nowottny - Manmade girl [genius flat-out undeniably] Nina Simone - The blues [this is an old semi-compilation record but it rocks me HARD] Erykah Badu - Mama's gun [fonky/fabulous, marked & moved growth in songwriting depth] PJ Harvey - Stories from the city, stories from the sea [a babystep backward for her somewhat but still awesome enough to merit inclusion] Jorane - 16mm [yes, also from last year but JESUS CHRIST this shit cannot be denied] Oh well, that's only 9 total. Eh. I didn't spend as much money on current stuff this year I guess, I got into lots of older progressive hiphop so that can't go on the list even though I'd easily include OutKast's Aquemini or Mos Def & Talib Kweli's Black Star... but whatever, it's all good.

I'd never been to the Spitz, and I might mention it's a nice venue. It's a small club over a restaurant, and I was pleased that the queue was inside, not outside. :) Lucy was great, per usual. I can go into details upon request. Alice is the one I want to talk about, however, because she's a find. She's a Minnesotan now living in Chicago. I'm thinking of calling her the "kinder, gentler Lucinda Williams" because her voice initially reminded me of Lucinda Williams -- without the twang. She has excellent audience rapport; isn't a bad guitarist; and hey, the last song she sang she co-wrote with Kristen Hall and Emily Saliers. I spoke with her after the set (she did come back onstage to sing with Lucy for one song, btw), and talking with her in person only confirmed the impressions I received from her performance.

(I had been pronouncing it completely different for the last year, but since I only know one word of Icelandic, I can accept I was wrong. BTW, my entire Icelandic vocabulary consists of Skessa [pronounced with a short e], which means troll woman.) neal np: Hand to Mouth at Mr. Spot's Chai House Craig Gidney said: > --- stephen dohnberg > wrote: > > > > > Sigur Ros are appearing on Craig Kilbourne > > (sp?)

Hey, remember a few weeks ago when someone (doug?) asked about a cover of Roxy Music's "More Than This"? I think he'd heard it in a coffee shop or something. Anyway, I was reading a profile of Bay Area jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter in today's paper, and noticed this (about his latest album, SONGS FROM THE ANALOG PLAYGROUND on Blue Note Records): "[T]he vocalist who seems destined to make jazz waves is [Norah] Jones... Her enticing alto turns Roxy Music's 'More Than This' and the album's closer, Nick Drake's haunting 'Day is Done,' into two of the album's most memorable tracks." - --Sue Trowbridge ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 21:17:54 -0000 From: "neal copperman" Subject: Concrete Blonde!!

I'm sorry to hear about your alien abduction, and glad you're back. Perhaps along with a check, I should send you a doughnut......? 0 0 (You do make me laugh!). ^ \__/ (I did like the George Bush/Adolf Hitler comparison too, heee, heee!). Well congratulations, You are officially my new best friend! It came! It's here! I love it!!!!!! I can't believe these are "throwaways"! IMHO, I agree with the general ecto concensus, Happy doesn't give herself enough credit. Thank you so much for thinking of me and getting it to me so quickly, I know your list is long. And you guys did such an excellent job. The graphics are great! I've only been a Happy fan for two years, but I have now heard everything she's recorded that's out, except for Aural Gratification I. It's amazing how you can get to know someone through their work. Besides the fact that her voice puts me in an almost constant state of goosebumps, I think she's so honest, some of her words are so stark, sometimes it's like seeing through her eyes, and seeing myself. I can imagine feeling what she feels. I know "Building the Colossus" isn't considered her top cd, but one of the songs that really speaks to me the most is "If I Ever See The Girl Again", and the line that touches me the most - " I'd tear their faces off and show them their own violence"- You can tell that it's pure, raw emotion. It also make me so sad, and it worries me that it might be autobiographical. Thank god she's got a sense of humor! That's come through too. Ya know,....Happy could sing from the Baltimore phone directory, and I would still love it. The last time I was really hooked on someone's music like this was when I was a teenager and I wanted to be another Carly Simon (or at least Carly Simon's backup singer). I really wish more people knew her work, and that someone would give her enough money so she wouldn't have to worry about the day to day bullshit, and could just submerse herself in her art. (Wouldn't we all like that!). If you're o.k with sending me the tape of Happy in Calif. I would LOVE to have it, and I promise it will be our little secret, I wouldn't want to put you in the dog house. (I will have to tell my husband, though ; - ) I've turned him into a Happy fan too. I'm on a mission this holiday. I'm buying Happy CD's to give to all my friends. (Don't worry, this one doesn't go anywhere, some things you just have to keep for yourself...) My goal is to create at least 15 more fans so the next time she's in my area, she'll have a better crowd, they'll buy lots of her CD's, and I won't feel too shy to talk to her. My husband and I are going crazy trying to remember who did the original version of "Don't Dream It's Over", I know it was some 80's hair band (no disrespect meant, I use to love that kind of music), and I can picture a guy singing it, but..... O.K., I'm finished rambling, I am serious about reimbursing you for everything. This wasn't cheaply done, and I for one would pay more than just material and shipping cost to have it, in addition to the donation for Happy. It does worry me that I wasn't originally on your list. It makes me wonder if she ever got a chance to read my letter. It's not the end of the world, I just wanted to say hi. I know someone opened it, 'cause the check got cashed, I just hope she got the money. Maybe I just didn't follow the directions : - O... (won't be the first time). ANYway... Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!! Debby P.S. (you even spelled my name correctly on the envelope - that's major brownie points for you). ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 22:42:53 -0600 From: Joseph Zitt Subject: Re: ecto-digest V7 #356 On Fri, Dec 14, 2001 at 11:14:28PM -0500, MzAnnThrope@webtv.net wrote: > My husband and I are going crazy trying to remember who did the original > version of "Don't Dream It's Over", I know it was some 80's hair band > (no disrespect meant, I use to love that kind of music), and I can > picture a guy singing it, but.....
