She was in fine voice, and her between-song remarks consisted of a goofily surreal running monologue that started with her parents' star-crossed meeting (as trapeze artists in the circus), and getting progressively weirder -- and funnier -- from there. Not a true word in any of it, of course, but immensely entertaining. She was also kind enough to include a good number of her older songs as well, making for a very nice and lengthy set.

I'm really enjoying Goner and I sure wish I could hear that live recording! As it happens, thanks to the previous post about Thea/Charlotte Martin, I was just looking at www.etree.org : a project devoted to making live and *legal* recordings available for downloads, using lossless compression, no less! It's a fine idea, and technical implementation works OK as well - I was able to install required plugin and play the files in a matter of seconds... But there are only a few Ecto-friendly names on the list of available artists. Cowboy Junkies are pretty much the only ones I would care to download. Which brings me, finally, to my point: we all know some independent artists, or at least talk to them at the gigs... Why won't we mention this project to them, and encourage them to participate by agreeing to have their performances taped? They will benefit from exposure, we'll benefit from hearing gems we'd never get to hear otherwise... and in a way we get to stick it up RIAA's which is always a nice thing to do. I'll start: Vienna, Cy, Jessica... how about it? - --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Grrr...Arrgh!" -- Mutant - -- 16:53:15 up 20 days, 6:04, 3 users, load average: 0.03, 0.06, 0.01-- ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V9 #231 **************************
