I'm dumbfounded. Yeah. Amazing what people will pay to get a piece of their favorite TV show. Now if they were auctioning off Alyson Hannigan, it would be worth it. ]:> - -- Alan - --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Their version of Love Lifts Us Up has probably kept Buffy vertical for a while. I think it is probably on non-stop rotation in Hell. Actually it's quite a nice song but it has been played to death, especially by bad singers at weddings, and I'm also tired of that Cocker guy trying to sound like John Belushi.

I was even highest bidder until about a half hour before the auction was over on the godawful bridesmaid dress that Buffy wore at Anya's almost-wedding (I was going to make my sister wear it for mine - inauspiciousness not withstanding).

I have these mp3s of the 3 new Happy songs she performed in New Haven. I do NOT feel comfortable just putting them up in the Kate Bush ezforum, not even in the Happy Rhodes thread. Mainly because there are non and casual fans reading that thread. It's one thing for die-hards to hear a new, unfinished song (unfinished simply because there will be more production in the final version, I assume the songs themselves are complete), and someone who doesn't have a fan investment coming along and deciding to give them a try. I also don't want to post the URL here because this is being monitored, and archived by Usenet. What I am going to do is put them up, but I'll only provide a link to them via e-mail. No one who just happens by the ezforum thread and stops in out of curiosity will see them. What you need to do is please REPLY to this message so that the message comes directly to me. I'll be sending out the URL on a staggered basis so my ISP doesn't get a whole bunch of people at one time trying to download, and I'll start on Saturday and Sunday (I can't pin down a starting time right now. I don't know when I'll be home). In the case of, say, someone's on vacation, or on tour :-) (hi Vienna!) they can e-mail me later, but it'd be a bit more complicated. If I know you and you're a regular poster, fine. If you're an Ectophile who has posted, even if only a few times, I can do a Sort of my Ectobox and see some of your posts, no problem. I'll go ahead and send the URL. However... If you're an Ectophile on vacation (who is reading this days or a couple weeks later) and I don't know you, and you're a lurker so I can't look up your posts, I'm gonna need an essay. It doesn't have to be long, but it better be sincere. Tell me how you found Happy, what you've heard, what you own and your favorite songs. If I don't believe that you're a sincere Happy fan, sorry, wait for the new album. (This is all because I don't want someone who doesn't really give a shit randomly happening across this thread on Usenet and deciding to try and get them as a lark.) This last is something that I can't, obviously, enforce or even monitor, but I'll throw it out anyway. These songs will not make it onto a record until Happy gets it recorded, and we're not going to hear the album versions until she can get it mixed and CDs made. We'll all buy the CDs, of course we will, and these songs will be better in every way (the sound quality alone will make them better), but take a moment, as you listen to these songs, and give some thought to going over to Happy's website (www.auntiesocialmusic.com) and buying a CD, or two, or so. Even if you have everything (and let's face it, the people who'd REALLY want to hear these songs probably do), you can always give them away to someone. Spread the music. This is not like the Left Hand Demos, which had Happy's full cooperation. She has no idea. I'm sharing these for one reason. As I've been going through some of these tapes, I hear songs that were "new" and/or "non-album," and yet only a handful of people ever got to hear them. She performed "Mother Sea," "He Will Come," and "The Flight" over a year before Equipoise. Both "Jork," which became the song "Many Worlds Are Born Tonight," and "Tragic" were performed 2 years before the MWABT album. "How It Should Be" never made it on to any ...regular...release. (ok, those Europeans, they got it, but only because they're cute). There's more, but the gist is that a few Ectophiles had access to this stuff (either they were there or it got taped) and the majority didn't, and I fee bad about that. I have the equipment to share now. I've set up a folder with "New Happy songs" as the catchphrase, so either reply or use those words. I'll be gone tomorrow so I won't even start getting back to anyone until Saturday. ========== Btw, anyone who is on Vienna Teng's tour path ought to make sure they catch her. It was a fantastic concert! Her voice is wonderful, her piano playing is just gorgeous and she's a beautiful woman, inside and out. I was so touched when she signed a poster for me after the show and wrote the most lovely things on it. I haven't posted a whole lot since she's been around so I wasn't sure she would know me from Adam, but she did. She's so sweet. And she's a fellow Matrix fan! We both had a Grrrr at the opening act. I can't remember his name, but he did NOT like the Matrix movies and insulted them from the stage. After one of his cracks I said it was good (Alberto and I were in the 2nd row), and he told the audience that he now had an enemy. When Vienna was onstage later, she repeated that and said that the enemy was her and said a bit about why she liked it. My kinda gal! It was a wonderful concert, and I was very happy to see so many people there. And it was in my favorite venue in Chicago, a small place called Schubas that holds, maybe, 100 people, if that. I've seen so many other favorites there, Tori (just her and an electric piano that kept breaking down, and she'd have to climb under to fix it), Milla, Iris DeMent, Lisa Germano, Victoria Williams, Holly Cole, Kristen Hersh, Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin, Mouth Music, Over the Rhine, others I'm not thinking of this second. Now Vienna! And maybe, maybe, Happy later this year (it's been offered). (When we lived in Kansas City, Chris came up here for a convention, and one evening was looking in the paper to see who was playing, and that very night, Sarah McLachlan was playing Schubas! I've always envied him for that!) These people are coming to Schubas. These names are familiar but I'm drawing a blank on them. Any MUST GOs? Gemma Hayes Verbena Gayle Ritt Ester Draig and Lisa Germano, but I already know I'll be there for that one.

I thought she sold out her original artistic vision when she became a star after her first album. Problem is, I heard her live in her coffee-house-tour days and really liked what she was doing. I bought all of her tour cassettes and other early stuff. She made a decision to go for superstardom by writing to the standard. She's rich. Ultimately I can't fault her for that; I can only not buy her CDs. I liked her original art. Michael ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V9 #151 **************************
