Z-"double O"-M, Box 3-5-0, BostonMass, Oh!-Two-One!-Three-Four!!" you'll remember anything if subjected to it long enough. the zip code for the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK was null-tre-fire-to (oh-three-four-two), and since it was read and repeated after every write-in competition, it has stuck in my mind, and undoubtedly most every Norwegian. I'll have to bow out of the Zoom reminiscences, but will note that whereas Zoom is a complete unknown to me, The Grady Bunch is a reference which has reached even Norway. np: Rachel Smith: the clearing nr: Kate Chopin: The Awakening - -- Kjetil T. ==. ,,==. ,,==. ,,==. ,,==. ,,== ::://:::://:::://:::://:::://:::: =='' `=='' `=='' `=='' `=='' `== http://folding.stanford.edu ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 04:16:40 -0700 From: "The Ectophiles' Guide" Subject: Recent changes to the Ectophiles' Guide Latest changes to the Ectophiles' Guide 25 August 2002 New Guide entries added for: * Analog Missionary * Johnny Cunningham and Susan McKeown * Knots and Crosses * Susan McKeown, Cathie Ryan, Robin Spielberg * Carol Noonan Changes made to the entries for: * Martin Carthy (updated) * Cooldown (new album) * Kristin Hersh (new live album) * Robin Holcomb (new album) * Mary Margaret O'Hara (new album) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are receiving this email because you have asked to be notified of updates to the Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music at http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/.

In North Texas we had Zoom, Electric Company, Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Villa Allegre, Big Blue Marble, Vegetable Soup, Romper Room, 3-2-1 Contact.... I think these were all shown on KERA. I am sure there were at least a few more but these are all that I can remember from PBS.

We watched it in Michigan. Not only do I know the zip code for WGBH, but that's where I learned to speak "uh-be duh-be". Hello?? I used to be quite fluent. I amaze my 12 year old daughter everytime I sing this little song I do in uh-be duh-be. She thinks I rock. I used to love the opening credits, because there was a girl that did a valdez (back walk-over from a sitting position) later to be replaced by the aerial cartwheel girl (or maybe it was the other way around?). Anyway, I think Mitch is, unfortunately, correct: mass over class. Oh, and Paul Kim...I love the Joe Boxer commercials. In fact, I love all of the new K-Mart commercials. Their ad agency deserves an Emmy. Too bad their shelves are still stocked with poorly made junk, that is when their shelves are stocked. That is a company that was run into the ground by a seriously bad leader who had unlimited power. Thank you, Joe Antonini. Back to lurking...Lisa n.p. Sharon Nicholls...best new discovery!! n.r.

It's an incredible record and you should all do your selves a favor and order one (CD Baby). You can see my review online here: http://www.collectedsounds.com/cdreviews/tothebone.html Or here's the text version (at the risk of appearing as if I am posting this just to get more traffic on my site :) ) "To the Bone" by Terami Hirsch Review By Amy - Collected Sounds.com I don't even know where to begin. Terami is amazing. I first heard her music when she wrote to me about being included on this site. I took a listen to her downloadable music and was blown away. She sent me her first, CD, "All Girl Band" and I was hooked. Several months later she send out the CD-R called "Stickfigures" to those who had signed up on her website, and I received that one too. I especially liked that recording because I'm one of those folks who love the talking part of a concert almost as much as the music. I really like to know what the artist was feeling when she wrote the song, and it's also fun just to hear silly stories. If they're willing to talk I'm willing to listen. And "Stickfigures" she introduces each song with a little blurb about what it means to her, or an anecdote. I love it. Recently (August 2, 2002) Collected Sounds had the honor of hosting a House Concert featuring Terami. It was then I got my copy of "To the Bone" (our show served as her CD release party) and I'm happy to say this CD is even better than the previous efforts. I didn't think it possible, but she did it. "To the Bone" is a beautiful record. She begins with "Pet" which knocks my socks off (do people still say that?). It's got everything: great lyrics, fantastic piano playing, gorgeous vocals and she's got the rise and fall, ebb and flow, crescendo and decrescendo, what have you, down to a "T". Kevin Benson's sampling and drumbeats add a special touch to all the songs, but especially this track. An old favorite, "Stained" also appears here which is great in its new incarnation. Another favorite is "Fire". This track is beautiful and eerie. Well, I could go on about each song because they're really all fantastic, but I would say that "Sideline Junkies" certainly stands out. Its sassy, cabaret sound is as catchy as it is clever and it will stick with you. This is a fantastic album all around. There is not one song I would take out though if you put all of my Terami songs on one CD it would have to be about 3 hours long. If you like piano, beautiful melodies and an incredible voice, you'll like Terami Hirscha lot.
