I heard an interesting story on NPR Morning Edition called "Temples of Sound". Which aired on May 8, 2003 and might be accessible at the following link. In which "Host Bob Edwards talks with Jim Cogan and William "Bob" Clark, co-authors of the book, Temples of Sound: Inside the Great Recording Studios. The book surveys 15 of America's most legendary recording studios," I found it and interesting look at what recording was like in times past. http://discover.npr.org/features/feature.jhtml?wfId=1257403 Rod ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 May 2003 03:18:40 +0200 From: Kjetil Torgrim Homme Subject: Mia Doi Todd in Oslo I had the pleasure of experiencing Mia Doi Todd here in Oslo yesterday. the programme said "Folk Implosion -- Mia Doi Todd (US) + Alaska (US)". since I've never heard of "Folk Implosion", I thought Mia was the headliner, and since headliners never enter the stage until 23 (at least on a Friday), I showed up at 22. horrors! Mia was already on the stage! the people at the door were amused by my misunderstanding -- evidently Folk Implosion is lead by some guy from Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr, bands which I at least have heard _of_, despite being of the female vocalist persuasion, whereas they seemed to think Mia was a nobody in Norway (they're probably right, although being on Sony at least means her newest album is readily available). so I missed out on Alaska (not to worry), and only caught twenty minutes of Mia. she was all alone with an acoustic guitar on the stage. most of the people in the club were way back, mostly out of sight and earshot during her subdued set. only about twenty people approached the stage and paid close attention. she did "88 Ways" and a couple of older songs (I presume) which I've never heard before, then she quietly started packing her guitar into its case. what an extraordinarily unassuming and humble person! of course, we called out and pleaded with her to do just one more. she looked up in surprise, pulled out her guitar and did "Hijikata". absolutely wonderful! I decided to stick around to check out Folk Implosion. Mia did a tiny bit of synthesizer work and backing vocals (barely audible -- Mia isn't an obvious choice for that task ;-). anyway, they're an ok rock band. ho-hum. their lyrics are better than your average band, though. - -- Kjetil T. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 May 2003 10:44:20 -0700 (PDT) From: alberto carrasco Subject: RE: further proof that the music industry has gone straight to hell "You have to remember... in the music industry, the key word is industry, not music." ~Frank Zappa, 1969. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
