Kevin, your absence was definitely felt. I was very saddened to hear of your ordeal but thankful that you are recovering. I'm with everyone else in wanting to help out any way I can. Pre-ordering a CD would be the least I could do, as I've been looking forward to your latest for awhile. Cheers, Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 11:51:36 -0600 (CST) From: Carolyn Andre Subject: NYTimes/Natalie Merchant's House Carpenter's Daughter There's an interesting article in the NYTimes online (and I presume 'in paper') today (Thursday 3/13) about Natalie's forthcoming new album, "House Carpenter's Daughter" and her departure from Elektra. The album will be available June 1 on her website & July 1 in stores. Her website has clips of 5 songs from the album, which seems to be a set of traditional & contemporary folk/political, etc. songs, described as a in a variant of "Oh, Brother!". She's releasing the album on her own label. And the article has some interesting discussion of the economics of such - particularly for artists such as Natalie Merchant who have been able to achieve economic independence from the major label world. The NYTimes article is available at: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/13/arts/music/13NATA.html You do have to register to read it, but I've never had problems with spam from my registration Natalie's website (revised recently) is at: http://www.nataliemerchant.com/ Regards, Carolyn Andre candre@house-of-music.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 17:40:08 -0500 From: ToriCure@aol.com Subject: Re: Cat Power tribute record and download by the way, I am also featured on the tribute album for my version of "In this Hole." there is a sample available. - Mark Freifeld ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V9 #71 *************************
