A bit hokey, granted, and nowhere near the punch it had when Alias used it in an early episode, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless. Obligatory Buffy Reference: I just watched the "Doppelgangland" episode on DVD, where Willow's vamp-double from a previous episode's alternate reality gets plopped down in "real" Sunnydale. Very darkly funny (yay, Anya!), and incredibly cool to see K's Choice as the live entertainment at the Bronze. Here's hoping that Joss's people and Vienna's people talk *real* soon... ;) John ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 16:59:17 -0800 From: Neile Graham Subject: Fwd: October Project! >Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 14:38:44 -0500 >Subject: October Project! >From: "info@octoberproject.net" >To: > >Dear Webmaster, > >My name is Evelyn and I am working with the newly reconstituted October >Project. > >Founding members and songwriters Julie Flanders & Emil Adler have rejoined >with singer Marina Belica and are recording a new CD to be released on the >first day of spring.

Re/Formed around the voice of Marina Belica, and the songs of Julie Flanders and Emil Adler, the group returns itself to its three original members, who have been friends and collaborators since college. Signed to Epic Records in 1993, the group has enjoyed international acclaim and has sold close to half a million copies of their two albums ("October Project" and "Falling Farther In"). The albums continue to sell and attract new listeners to this day. In March 2002, "Falling Farther In" made the top five (along with Creed, Jars of Clay & U-2)in a list of "Music With A Message" in Borders Bookstores' magazine. Now, six years after the group left Epic, songwriters Flanders & Adler and singer Belica have reunited, with plans for a long anticipated third album. October Project established its roots in a New Jersey garage but its early seeds germinated on the campus of Yale University where Belica and Flanders were roommates for four years. The three were joined in 1990 by guitarist David Sabatino, percussionist Urbano Sanchez and singer Mary Fahl. October Project headlined sold-out shows across the U.S. and toured with such platinum-selling acts as The Crash Test Dummies and Sarah McLachlan. The band performed live on TV's Latenight with Conan O'Brien as well as on numerous nationally syndicated radio shows, and was featured in an Emmy Award-nominated PBS Special, Just Passing Through, with Shawn Colvin and Julia Fordham. October Project's music appears in the feature film Blown Away starring Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges, and has appeared on such TV shows as The Real World, Extra!, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Baywatch and One Life to Live. Although the original group took a break for personal reasons in 1996, Flanders, Belica & Adler continued to make music together. In 2000, they gathered in the studio with Sabatino and percussionist Sanchez to "cover" October Project's second single, "Return to Me," for Belica's debut solo recording, "decembergirl." The response to the track was phenomenal. It went to #1 on alternative station WBER in Rochester, New York and aired for several months on 99X, one of the most popular commercial radio stations in Atlanta. Prompting a mention in Billboard magazine, the track was also featured in the climactic scene of an indie movie ("The Adulterer") featuring several Flanders & Adler songs that had its New York premiere in June of 2002. And on the first anniversary of the September 11th tragedy, a documentary entitled "The Spirit of St. Paul's" was released featuring this same rendition of "Return to Me" as the closing credit music. Starting with an appearance at The Bottom Line in October of 2001, Belica, Flanders & Adler began to perform together again on a regular basis. They have since performed charitable concerts for Gilda's Club, The New York City School System, and the closing concert at St. Paul's Chapel in Manhattan for workers and volunteers at the World Trade Center recovery site. This past summer, they opened the Carolina Arts Festival at the 7,000-seat Regency Amphitheater, and on September 22nd gave a benefit concert that raised over $15K for the launch of the Manhattan chapter of the NOCC (National Ovarian Cancer Coalition). Most recently, they hosted an 'unplugged' double-bill with acclaimed UK band Karnataka to a sold-out audience in downtown Manhattan and performed at the annual Gilda's Club Christmas party. After completing a 6-song EP early in 2003, they will immediately begin work on a full-length release. They plan to include Sabatino and Sanchez in recordings and in concerts. P.O.

That's one concert I would love to attend! It's good to hear October Project are coming back. But when I think "October Project", it is Mary Fahl's voice that comes to my mind and I find it hard to believe I'm unique in this regard... and I just find it curious how that press release you quote manages to completely avoid mentioning her. I'm guessing they parted as less than friends! - --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." -- A.J Liebling, media critic - -- 13:50:17 up 7 days, 14 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00-- ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V9 #27 *************************
