I went to the website and downloaded the mp3 they offer there and really liked it. I live in Germany and would be interested in seeing her live. Unfortunately there seems to be no touring information whatsoever on the web. Has anyone heard where she will perform in Europe? Help would be greatly appreciated :) Greetings from Europe and a beautiful Sunday to all, Stefan. - -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: owner-ecto@smoe.org [mailto:owner-ecto@smoe.org]Im Auftrag von abaton Gesendet: Freitag, 25.

I'm all caught up, and feeling much better now. :) Dave wrote: > Also been listening to French singer Emma Shapplin, (although she > mostly sings in Italian) I got her "Le Concert" CD which has a very > Kate Bushish song in English at the end. It's great to see another ectophile gaining an appreciation of the lovely Ms. Shapplin. I stumbled across her stuff a couple years ago, and have since turned a couple of my friends into fan(atic)s as well. That English-language song ("Discovering Yourself"), while a bit atypical of her usual sound, is quite beautiful and Kate-esque. To the best of my knowledge, everything else she's recorded has been in 14th century Italian. Last year, a very nice DVD version of _The Concert in Caesarea_ was available here in the US as a Canadian import, no idea if it's still available anymore, though. Well worth grabbing, if you can find a copy. At the very least, I highly recommend both CDs, _Carmine Meo_ and _Etterna_, to anyone who likes a bit of pop in their opera (or vice versa).

Gays Bashed by Gavin Newsom's Cops by Salem Friday February 07, 2003 at 03:42 AM salem@indymedia.org Police bashed gay activists protesting Gavin Newsom at the San Francisco LGBTQ Center Tonight in front of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Center in the Castro police attacked 40 members of the radical anti-capitalist queer group Gay Shame that gathered to protest the policies of Supervisor Gavin Newsom. Two lesbian were visibly bleeding from the mouth after being beaten by the San Francisco Police Department. A Indymedia correpsondent was on the scene and witnessed the events. Gavin Newsome was ushered in the doors of the center by Police escort. Gays then tried to enter their own center to voice their opposition to Gavin's policies. The police began beating back and blocking the door to the activists. Police pushed the activists into the oncoming traffic on Market Street and began aggressively hitting the queer activists some of whom were dressed in drag. This is situation is unacceptable for a tolerant city such as San Francisco. Four members of Gay Shame were arrested in the streets. Activists then surrounded the police van in an attempt to block the van from leaving. More police arrived and continued striking Queer activists in the street eventually the situation calmed down and the activists continued to protest the policies of Gavin Newsom, who has ushered in an era in San Francisco which has declared open warfare on the homeless, and has now manifested itself in hate crimes conducted under the cover of the badge. Recently, the SFPD was cited by civilian review boards for targeting African Americans in the Bayview area. Now it seems that queers are not safe for entering their own community center. Activists reminded the police that Harvey Milk was shot dead by similiar interests in the city some years ago and view this as just another manifestation of the war against the poor. GAY SHAME is the radical alternative to consumerist "pride" crap. We are committed to a queer extravaganza that brings direct action to astounding levels of theatricality in order to expose the evildoers who use the sham of gay "pride" as a cover-up for their greed and misdeeds. We seek nothing less than a new queer activism that addresses issues of race, class, gender and sexuality, to counter the self-serving "values" of the gay mainstream. We are dedicated to fighting the rabid assimilationist monster of corporate gay "pride" with a devastating mobilization of queer brilliance. GAY SHAME is a celebration of resistance: all are welcome. www.gayshamesf.org > Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2004 06:26:03 -0400 > From: Philip David Morgan > Subject: Joanna Newsom, reviewed by the _New York Times_ > > Good Morning, Ectofolks... > > Will success - or a _New York Times_ rave - spoil Joanna Newsom?

Water Street, Lancaster, PA) Fri/July 30/10pm/DC9 (1940 9th St. NW, Washington DC) hope some of the local ectophiles in each area can get a chance to see her! i missed last night's show at pianos, but did catch, along with montville clan and don, the set at galapagos in williamburg earlier in week. it was a decent, but disappointly short, set -- just over a half-hour. kinda annoying since getting down to the city and back takes about six times as much time, but i don't mind too much -- the company was pleasant. anyway, kristeen ripped through several songs from _X_ and the juggernaut older tune "touch tongues" and it was swell. yea, verily. woj ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2004 20:19:26 -0700 From: Joseph Zitt Subject: Re: Joanna Newsom, reviewed by NYT On Sun, 2004-06-27 at 14:46, abaton wrote: > Any thoughts about how her "controversial" cousin likes to handle things in > fair city of San Francisco? > > > > Gays Bashed by Gavin Newsom's Cops > by Salem Friday February 07, 2003 at 03:42 AM salem@indymedia.org Well, I've been at some events that indymedia.org folks have described as near police riots, and seen nothing of the sort. So I would take such reports with a grain of salt about the size of Lot's Wife, and check other media before believing what they print. The same is true of other media, too, of course, but I've found the resemblance of indymedia's reporting of events to my own and others' first hand accounts to be low enough to warrant particular skepticism. And I'm saying this as some who starts out pretty far to the left and skeptical. I was working all day in downtown San Francisco and didn't get to any of the Pride events, but all of the people that I saw coming from it were talking about how peaceful and joyous the whole thing was. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2004 00:15:17 -0500 From: kerrywhite@webtv.net (kerry white) Subject: Les McCann need Hi, I just went looking for an old favorite: Les McCann - Invitation to Openness.
