Oh. Um. Ecto content. Errr. Anyone have the new AIMEE MANN album? It's quite enjoyable, but nothing super catchy or stuck in my head, unlike her previous album, but quite enjoyable. Oh I just said that. Damn. I just got it (Lost in Space) last week and have only had a chance to listen to it once. It sounds good, much along the lines of Bachelor No. 2. Perhaps not quite as immediately lovable, but then again, this is a first impression. If you like Aimee's other work, you'll like this too. I like the cartoon artwork, but don't always get the connection between the drawing and the song. I pre-ordered, but didn't get to play the bonus disc yet.

Anyone else going to see Marianne Faithful in November? I booked my tickets last night and they said that they'd nearly sold out so be quick if you want to go! Peace.

I just noticed it on her web site, on the "links" page where she talks about where to buy the album... "*Maple Music sells the indie version of Reptilian, released before Perimeter picked up the album. It includes an acoustic version of "Call Me", instead of the full band version, and the songs are in a different order."

I didn't know how much Julia idolizes her sister til I watched this delightful segment with them both. The pictures of Julia at a young age were great to see, too. The real bonus was Julia playing her yellow guitar and singing "love" from Concrete Love. Don't know when it might be re-run. But catch it if you can. - ----- End forwarded message ----- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2002 21:39:15 -0700 From: Steve VanDevender Subject: Re: Buffy stuff Aaaaaaauuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhh. The station that used to be a UPN affiliate in Eugene isn't any more; they were running an episode of _Deep Space 9_ instead of Buffy when I checked this evening. So apparently whatever happens in season 7 of Buffy, I'm only going to hear about it secondhand. According to the news item I Googled up, some station in Roseburg is supposedly going to become a UPN affiliate, but when I checked a) the reception was awful and b) the program that was on seemed to involve thumping bibles instead of staking vampires. I think they're still going to be running the syndicated parts of Buffy, so at least I'll be able to continue catching up on the backstory. I probably should have gone to see Jonatha Brooke when she was in Eugene last weekend, but I'd had a really exhausting couple of weeks and decided to be lazy instead. I have recently been reading and greatly enjoying China Miiville's _Perdido Street Station_ and _The Scar_ (I've not very far into the latter, but it is at least as good). They're very much the sort of dark twisted atmospheric fantasy that seems to catch on among Ectofolk. It was a bit of a surprise the first time I saw the jacket photograph of the author; the name sounded feminine and the reviews I had seen didn't disabuse me of that notion, but the person pictured looks like some burly punk with a shaved head and a row of earrings up one ear. But he sure can write. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:10:56 -0700 From: Neile Graham Subject: Re: Buffy stuff Steve VanDevender wrote: >I have recently been reading and greatly enjoying China Miiville's >_Perdido Street Station_ and _The Scar_ (I've not very far into the >latter, but it is at least as good).

But he >sure can write. He sure can. He's a really interesting guy, too. He came here to give a couple of readings in July and talked to this year's Clarion West class. He'll be teaching next year's class for a week. I've loved all three of his novels--they get progressively better, but even _king Rat_ is pretty damn good, and has a lot about London's drum'n'bass scene in it. See?
