Many have asked if I will perform anywhere but my focus in NY (just a day and a half, unfortunately) is just to do this recording. For those who asked, sorry, they asked me not to talk to anyone, it is someone I have long admired as a songwriter and I will sing back-up. I will be back east again in January and hopefully I can hook up with NYers then. But hey, I am in Chicago for a week, I tried to set up a last minute gig but no luck so at least I will hit the clubs and hopefully see some music. Any Chicago Ectos have any suggestions of cool little places in which to find wonderful eclectic music? I have never been, except years ago and we played the Heartland. I will go to the Heartland on Saturday, as Jute is playing, the singer is formerly of My Scarlet Life, which many on this list said my band Blind sounded like, so that will be fun to check out. I may do Wednesday night (Poetry night) if I have the guts to sing a poem. Anything else going on that is good? Please let me know. thanks, Cyoakha Grace of Land of the Blind > O'Manion Music PO Box 198 Mill Valley, CA 94941 415.789.8139 http://www.landoftheblind.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 01 Dec 2002 16:09:21 -0500 From: meredith Subject: Re: chicago clubs/anything good the first week of Dec.???? Hi, Cy reported: >I will be back east again in January and hopefully I can hook >up with NYers then. Please let us know when you're in the area!! >But hey, I am in Chicago for a week, I tried to set up a last minute gig >but no luck so at least I will hit the clubs and hopefully see some music. >Any Chicago Ectos have any suggestions of cool little places in which to >find wonderful eclectic music? I'm not a Chicagoan, but there is a cool coffeehouse I stopped in when I was there in April. I'm losing my mind at a distressingly early age, but I think it was called the Higher Ground on W. Roscoe. Sloan Wainwright was supposed to play that day, but she had to cancel her trip so I saw four local women in the round instead. They were all very good, and the place had a nice vibe. There is a site, centerstage.net that has a directory of Chicago places and events -- that may give you some ideas. Have fun in Chicago -- it's my favorite city in the US! Though it's not exactly the best time of the year to go, weatherwise. Bring your warmest clothes!! ============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth ============================================== Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://muzak.smoe.org NEXT UP: Chris & Meredith Thompson, 12/8/02 ============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 01 Dec 2002 16:22:08 -0500 From: meredith Subject: hope for the future Hi, I hope all the American ectophiles had a good Thanksgiving holiday. I spent it with my brother and his family, and a few things about my niece and nephews gave me great hope for the future. :) For one, two out of the three kids (one 12, the other 15) are huge Buffy fans -- we spent Thanksgiving evening after dinner watching the Buffy marathon on FX. For another, my niece (the 12-year-old) is currently in the middle of (and greatly enjoying) Philip Pullman's _His Dark Materials_ trilogy. She's a bright kid, so I'm sure she'll be able to handle the more esoteric bits when she gets to _The Amber Spyglass_. And for yet another, the kid is developing great taste in music. She rode with me as we caravaned to my aunt's house, over an hour away. I had Rachael Sage's _Illusion's Carnival_ in the changer, and she immediately asked me who it was. (She thought it was even cooler when I explained that the song we were listening to was about Buffy and Angel. ;) Later, _Under The Pink_ came on (I dug out some old CD's I hadn't listened to in ages for the trip, more on that later), and she said "I like this. It sounds like Paula Cole." (I'll forgive her for making that comparison due to her age. ;) I told her I was surprised to hear she likes Paula Cole, and she said "Oh I love her. I have her album where she's sitting on a swing naked on the cover." I guess I'll be making her a few mix CDs for Christmas. :) Now for the car CD selection ... I was feeling nostalgic, so I went to our CD shelves (nothing properly filed in our shelves dates from after 1996) to select CDs for the massive amount of driving I did this holiday. Aside from _Under The Pink_ I ended up with Big Hat's _Selena At My Window_, Throwing Muses' _The Real Ramona_, Bel Canto's _Shimmering Warm And Bright_, and 10,000 Maniacs' _Blind Man's Zoo_. It was amazing how well each and every one of those records has stood the test of time, even if the Bel Canto does sound a bit more synthesized than you generally hear today. It was the perfect album to listen to as I drove through the wintry landscape that is now the Northeast. And _The Real Ramona_ is always a great driving record. It was funny to note in hindsight just how much the Tanya Donnelly songs on that album were really proto-Belly songs. N.B. to Cyoakha: it's funny, when I was listening to Big Hat the other night I found myself wishing I could take Land of the Blind back in a time machine to split a bill with Big Hat. Now *that* would be a show for the ages. ============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth ============================================== Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://muzak.smoe.org NEXT UP: Chris & Meredith Thompson, 12/8/02 ============================================== ------------------------------ Date: 01 Dec 2002 17:02:03 -0500 From: Dan Riley Subject: Buffy season 6 reruns on FX Just a short notice for any other US BtVS fans with FX but no UPN: syndication of season 6 on FX starts tomorrow. - -dan ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 01 Dec 2002 23:13:09 -0500 From: meredith Subject: odd (old) interview with milla Hi, While surfing I found a site with an interview with Milla Jovovich, discussing her music. The site makes it look like it is a current interview, but then I read it and it is obviously from 1993 or 1994, around the time she was touring the Northeast with _The Divine Comedy_ (which remains one of my favorite albums ever, even after all this time). If you're interested in turning back the clock, go here: http://thecelebritycafe.com/interviews/milla.html P.S. I found the site because I was pointed to an article there about New Haven which is actually fairly recent: . Lots of people diss New Haven -- if you're one of them, read this and know why woj and I voluntarily live here! :) ============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth ============================================== Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://muzak.smoe.org NEXT UP: Chris & Meredith Thompson, 12/8/02 ============================================== ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V8 #335 **************************
