Due to an almost last minute job complication, I have two tickets to see Tori Amos in London (Hammersmith Apollo) that I can't use. It's this Thursday night, 16 Jan. They're not good seats. They're high and in the back. Block 4, Row 4, Seats 38 and 39. They cost B#27.50 each. I will put them in the post asap to anyone who wants them. I don't want any money, but if you'd be willing to spring for a t-shirt to send me (or have me pick up some time), I'd be very happy. Please email me. I want them to be used and enjoyed.

And I have two questions right away. First, a friend of mine is reading "Forest of the Heart" by Charles de Lint, and mentioned how de Lint is truly an Ectophile, talking about Tori Amos, Dar Williams, Solas etc. etc. Now I have vague memories of having once upon a time read somewhere, probably here on Ecto, that de Lint also mentions Happy Rhodes and Loreena McKennitt in some way in one of his books or something. I couldn't find it in the archives (using fa.music.ecto to search). Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Or have I been dreaming? Then I went to see Boudewijn de Groot in concert last week. He's one of the greatest Dutch singer-songwriters, who's been around for over 30 years. The concert was really fantastic, one of those magic events where everything goes right and you can see that the musicians are not only very skilled but also enjoying what they're doing. Anyway, before the concert started some music was played that I really liked. Unfortunately even Boudewijn himself could only remember that it's either Irish or Breton. He has been asked about it more than once, and I too would like to know more. Since Ectophiles know all I decided to give it a try here. :) So: Irish or Breton; it sounded like a sweeter, softer version of the Mediaeval Baebes, a female vocal group or small choir, doing old or traditional songs (but not in the "classical" way like what I know of Anuna, for example). From what I could distinguish they might have been singing at least one song in French. Mostly a-capella, or at least with no more than sparse instrumentation like on one song a single drum to play a medium tempo rhythm. That's all I know. Small chance, but does anybody have any idea who they might have been? Thanks in advance! Best wishes, Marion n.p. Boudewijn de Groot n.r.

There's a McKennitt Street in his fictional city of Newford, where several of his books are set. Also in his collections of short stories, he usually includes a quote from somewhere or another before each one... I know he's quoted Happy once or twice. He also thanks some of the musicians who kept him sane in the Author's Note to The Ivory and the Horn -- Loreena McKennitt, Tori Amos, Happy Rhodes, Solas, others... alas, I've lent out my copies of the Newford stories, or I'd reproduce the list. (Anyone else have it on hand?) But he is definitely an ectophile. Oh, and greetings... this is my first post, largely because as a college student I'm generally too broke to buy much music or go to concerts. :-P I'm rather fond of Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Cranes, The Changelings (whose new album, Astronomica, is highly recommended if you like the ethereal/world-influenced sort of thing: Regeana Morris's voice is beautiful, as are the musical textures, and the album is a little poppier and less mellow than their previous releases), Celtic and Scandinavian music... my tastes tend to fall mostly in the ethereal/eclectic genres. And since I've been here for about 6 months, I guess I tend to be a lurker on mailing lists. :-) - -Kat - -- http://www.mindspillage.net *** Stetson: Box #6105, x6730 "It takes a lot of time to be a genius.

The evening with Lauren Agnelli should be good. She and Little Jack (Steve Carter) have collaborated in the past. - -- On Wednesday, January 22, Little Jack Melody will be sharing the bill with two of New York's finest: Curtis Eller's American Circus and Dr. Psyclops at Galapagos in Williamsburg. "I've heard all manner of amazing things about these bands, though we've never worked with them before," says Melody. "It's going to be a surprise-fest. Better than the Anna Nicole show." Thursday the 23rd will mark LJM's first go at Freddy's Bar and Backroom; opening the show at 9:30 is one of Brooklyn's newest and buzziest ensembles, Las Rubias del Norte, whose repertoire is shaped around "stirring love songs from Mexico and beyond," according to press materials. Capping off the micro-tour, Little Jack Melody returns to the West Bank Cafi's Laurie Beechman Theatre on Friday, January 24th. Billed as an evening of "Cafi Society Cabaret," the night will be rounded out by sets from Lauren Agnelli, co-founder of nuevo folksters The Washington Squares and later one half of Agnelli and Rave; her sultry latest efforts have prompted the Village Voice to regale her as "a modern-day Julie London." Dave's True Story is the creation of David Cantor and Kelly Flint, about whom the New York Times crowed, "...without doubt the weirdest and most wonderful lounge act in New York." Little Jack Melody's sets on these occasions will be built around his collection of original songs, many of which appear on his four critically-acclaimed CD releases; much of his inspiration is derived from the cabaret tradition of commentary and confrontation. His subject matters run an unusually eclectic gamut of concerns: co-dependent lovers tango with ennui ("The Dance Lesson"), a gray flannel gentleman sings a quotidian samba ("Samba Ordinaire"), Compassionate Conservatives offer Marie Antoinette salvos to the less-fortunate ("On the Blank Generation") and Samson and Delilah prefigure Bill and Monica in "The Ballad of the Lady's Man."-- Little Jack has MP3's at MP3.com, I believe, if you want to get a taste of what he does. Yes, gospel music and bluegrass music are full of family groups. And let us not forget the Poppy Family.

If you are into arranging or mixing vocals, you'll have fun, as you can start or stop any horse at any time, and, arrange them however you want. Joseph, you may want to do your own version, with the technology they used. Once you see it, you can imagine the possibilities. Be sure your sound is on, and when the 4 horses and fence load, start clicking on them. Happy New Year!

It turned out to be part of a showcase put on by a local cable access outfit called GNYC TV, so the entire night was filmed for a show called "Indie or Outie". If any ectophiles live in New York City and get Time Warner cable, I'd appreciate hearing from you -- we'd like to get a copy of this whenever it's aired. According to their web site (http://www.indieoroutie.com/) it should be on in February sometime. As for the show itself ... her set was *way* too short (just about 30 minutes), but it was wonderful. Driving, aggressive, loud -- but the sound was good, at least through my earplugs. :) There were a lot of people there too, and it looked like a lot of them were there to see her. Of the rest, she certainly turned a lot of heads. One woman in particular, who was there with a gaggle of teenage girls (I wasn't aware until just the other day that the age to get into CBGB is 16) had clearly never heard of Kristeen before she got on stage, and from the first banging chords of "Breasticles" she was whooping and cheering. I'm not sure what the kids were thinking, though -- I can only hope they got their worldview appropriately skewed. I'll leave it to Don Keller to talk about the musical aspects of the show. I'll just leave it that I really needed to bang my head a bit, if only for a half an hour, so it was a quite enjoyable experience. (At least the trip to NYC wasn't entirely too short -- woj and I got a yummy dinner at ACME beforehand, and enjoyed watching a couple of loud Steelers fans watch the football game at the bar.) ============================================== 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: Holly Figueroa, 1/26/03 ============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 23:09:28 -0500 From: Paul Blair Subject: Who is Bob Dorough?
