(because WAY back then i asked her about it after i saw vickie post about giving it to her!) oh yeah, she REALLY LIKED IT too!!! i also asked tori WAY back then if she enjoyed the happy cd vickie gave her and she said she tried not to listen to too much other music when on the road but that she was planning to. (whether that ever happened, who knows!) vickie, it was networking at it's finest - i used your happy cd giving as a conversation starter! can you imagine what these women were thinking when some crazy fan in chicago would give them a happy rhodes cd and then some crazy fan in connecticut would ask them a few weeks later if they liked it!?!?!?!?! chuck *huge creaking door closes back up* ***** you have received these electrons from: CHUCK * joe * happy * rufus cjmacs@comcast.net cjmacs@mac.com ***** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2005 14:54:07 -0500 From: kerrywhite@webtv.net (kerry white) Subject: Stuff and stuff ; long Hi, First, you darn people and your glowing talk of CDBaby.com! I just made my 4th $100+ order. The first one was 3 of the $5 sale ones and 3 Emily Bezhar. I have since expanded my noisier industrial experimaental side of music. Collide, Theater of The Mind, Sync,synthetic, This Dying Need, Jute, E.S.Posthumous (who I reviewed and said they were much like Kevin Bartlett's Near-Life Experience) and even some light reggae and 2 Innocence Missions. More. more , I must have more new music!! Second, I have recently purchaced a Yamaha 1300 HDD CDR. As can be surmised from my address, I have no computer. This thing has 80gigs of non-comressing space for audio. Anything that will fit the single CD tray or can be pushed through my digital amp can be recorded: CDs, tapes, LPs and bits from DVDs if they are in 2 ch surround. I have made a music soundtrack for Vangelis' Blade Runner and kept only Roy's dying speech as dialogue and sent a copy to a certain HR at Auntiesocial. I have Bernard Herrmann's Taxi Driver without the "you talkin' to me" (too much repetiion could weaken it), I took the 5th Element CD and added Lilu's adventure on the building ledge and some of her 'perfect' language and the same kinda thing with Dark City's CD. And the 5 min portion of Buffy when the Gentlemen from HUSH come on campus and take a victim. This has 3 record modes: digital, analog and either/or. When a CD has copy protection the system switches to analog and records it. I personly cannot hear the difference in one generation between analog and digital processing. Third, I am having so much fun with this that I want to get into trading CDRs with ectos. "Ecto is [your favorite metaphor here] with a Joan Biaz singing a cappella at one [end] and latter day Peter Gabriel, latter KaTe, and Siouxie and the banshees and other noisy groups at the other [end]." My stuff is from the near quieter side of middle to the noisier side of the other [end]. I feel I could accommodate any style need, tho. I want to trade CDRs or tapes (or if you are a college kid who uses his roommate's computer write and we'll work something out). I like and have access to oodles and oodles of styles and stuff. You could take a chance to see how weird and/or strange music can be and still be accessable. I am not a DR Demento who would send out a CDR of "Fish-heads fish-heads" or other ill concieved 'sounds' but unknown indie music can be pretty nice. Not only music, but, quasi-therapy can go out. I use "quasi-" because you can't say "therapy" without a lot of letters after your name. I believe a basic tenet of music therapy is to match the mood first: if you come home "down" then UP music won't help, you have to start with the blues and get less and less blue as the music continues, same with coming home angry at the world - you need some loud head-banging music first, then something a bit less loud and finally to the ambient you thought you wanted when you came home. Even dazed and confused and wornout can be matched and then led to kinder gentler music. If you wish to get into some sort of trade email me with ECTO in the subject line, so I won't delete you by accident. Thanks, bye, KrW I'm Peter Pan! I'm perpetually young!! OW!! What's wrong with my back? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 07 Jun 2005 16:26:02 -0400 From: "JoAnn Whetsell" Subject: RE: Stuff and stuff ; long Kerry, I hope you like your purchases, especially the Emily Bezar. She's wonderful! And I hope you will post your thoughts on Jute's album. I have it to review for the Ectophile's Guide, and I haven't said anything yet because I find it hard to get a handle on it (in a good way). Every time I listen to it, I hear different things, feel different things. I think I always *experience* it differently. Which is quite an interesting thing. I like it quite a bit.
