Subject: Sarah Mclachlan panned in Time Out Yes, I noticed the vehemence of this. Not having heard the album myself, I can't comment on its accuracy, but I was surprised at how dismissive it was, especially coming from a critic as normally ecto-friendly as Ross Fortune. Ross is, by the way, re-locating soon, moving to Austin, Texas where I'm sure he'll find plenty of artists to champion, and the London music scene will be all the poorer for it. adam k. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 00:42:36 -0800 (PST) From: anna maria "stjärnell" Subject: janet frame hi.. author Janet Frame has just passed away.

"Them", in this case refers to the band "Always August" Their release "Largeness with (w)holes" is good stuff that alternates between slightly funky rock and jazzier, semi progressive material. One more reason to pick up unknown stuff cheap if it looks interesting and/or comes from a label you trust (in this case SST). np: read the post, silly. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 11:41:50 -0600 From: "Xenu's Sister" Subject: Chicagophiles reminder!!! Noe Venable Friday, January 30 Gunther Murphy's 1638 W. Belmont 10:00pm (doors open at 9) Tickets are $8.00 at the door. Opening act: Stolie (http://www.chicagogigs.com/reviews/stolie.htm) (I don't know Stolie, but that review is enough to get me interested. Her album is called "Satire-Laden Melodies," which is enough to get me even more interested. I haven't perused her web site yet, but it's at http://www.stolie.com/) If you (and you know who you are :) missed Noe when she played Schubas a few months ago, *please* don't miss this show. She's wonderful beyond measure, *and* she's an Ectophile. See ya there? Vickie (still tingling with glee over the Oscar noms. Keisha! 11 for ROTK! 4 for City of God!

Jenn August....a folkie from California {{{{Songs from "Angels Here Among Us" made their commercial radio debut on: San Francisco's KFOG "She plays folksy rhythmic rock - a female Dave Mathews" citysearch7.com No longer an opening act, but a rising star building a legion of loyal fans who love her brand of introspective smart rock..." Frank Warren San Luis Obispo Focus "She is a gem, a damn fine performer, songwriter and person." Glenn Starkey San Luis Obispo New Times "I enjoy seeing her live, she's funny and has great communication with the crowd" James Paasche Music Director of KCPR}}} Song: August 1st by Jenny Choi and the Third Shift {{{{december, 2001 Grounded in the confessional singer-songwriter aesthetic-particularly the contemporary blood-on-the-drapes style of Tori Amos and Fiona Apple-Choi applies the results of countless hours of music lessons to jazzy piano-based arrangements that display both taste and grace. And her two sprightly punk numbers are an energizing surprise... Choi's also a striking lyricist... though the words are often cutting, Choi and her mates make music that soothes. - noel murray}}}}}} Song August 10, Julie Dioron August Moon by Ottmar Liebert (think they call it world music but to me it is neuvo flamenco) August Day Song by Bebel Gilberto ( latin techoish_) August by oldie group Love And stretching it a bit......

I'm sure falling in love with Josephine Foster's voice. There is a song in MP3 format to sample at their label's website: http://www.mintyfresh.com/home.html The label's site also says that Ivy has a new album out, Guestroom. Does anybody have comments on this album? I like the three Ivy albums I have.

I'm sure that's been on EMI's "forthcoming" list for, oh, I don't know ... ten years? ;) Good to see Bjork on the list, though.
