I've just read of one of a great double-bill, one that I would crawl over broken glass for: Bob Mould, doing an acoustic set (which I'd love to see, as his full band, electronic excursions have always flattened out the subtleties in his fine songwriting with squall) and opening for him....Sandy Dillon!!! At Dingwalls/Lock 17, which is just down the road from me!!! What a great night that would be. I, however, will be otherwise engaged that night, up in a small studio theatre in Hackney (for our American friends, think Detroit without the glamour). Fuming, I tell you. Meanwhile, my last ecto digest was blocked by my server's spam filter. I can only think it was the result of Mr Jimmy Kimmel's name being used, as this also happens to be my surname. I must have created a rule that equates Kimmel with pornography and blocked it (won't be the first time, I'm sure)It's nice to know, however, that one of us has made it big (and, in case ANYONE, by any mad chance is wondering, I am no relation to the director of photography. The Perfect Vacuum -- I still have a copy of that, somewhere, that I bought at the Strand bookship in NYC about 25 years ago. Liked the idea, but never got through all the reviews. When I was in High School I used to write reviews of non-existent films which I'd hand in for my weekly creative writing homework. I suspect they were dreadful, but I do know that some special effects that I used to imagine, ludicrous and far fetched back then, are now achievable. Oh, and Pandora sounds great, although it was baffled by Veda Hille. After I typed in Thea Gilmore, I got some really interesting stuff which I hope to follow up on (amy rigby and lois, for instance). Unfortunately, I don't think my fellow workers appreciated the gentle hum of music coming from my speakers. adam k. - ----------------------------------------------- This mail sent through http://webmail.zoom.co.uk ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 18:57:12 -0500 From: "Ella*" Subject: Kat Parsons Alert -- Fw: Kat's on TV tonight, Phila added, ATT, Ford campaign - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kat Parsons" To: "Ella McCrystle" Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 1:30 PM Subject: Kat's on TV tonight, Phila added, ATT, Ford campaign > To view this email as a webpage, please use this link: > > > I.

Wow, what a moment! One of my fave songs from one of my fave musicans...and such a rarely heard musician at that.

Almost as bizzare as the time I was in a supermarket and they were playing the muzak version of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". - -- "George W.

Yesterday I was in a local shop and just about fell over when Kate Bush's "Somewhere In Between" started playing. Turns out the shop (owned by a friend of mine) has XM for its music, and they keep it on a channel called "The Loft" that plays very ectophilic stuff. Just in the time I was in there, besides Kate I heard Feist's "Mushaboom" and Fiona Apple's "Extraordinary Machine". Needless to say, I was impressed. :) - -- =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 20:35:14 -0500 From: "JoAnn Whetsell" Subject: tori's valentine to fans Just saw on Amazon yesterday that Tori's first DVD video collection, Fade to Red, will be released on Feb. 14. Apparently it includes everything on the previous video collection and all the subsequent videos, though review say that it's missing videos for "Mary," "Strange Little Girl," "Glory of the 80s," and Jackie's Strength - Wedding Cake Edit." Anyway, thought folks here would be interested. Full listing is below. JoAnn Disc 1: * Past the Mission * Crucify * Jackie's Strength * a sorta fairytale * Winter * Spark * Sleeps with Butterflies * Cornflake Girl (US) * Hey Jupiter * Silent All These Years Disc 2: * Caught a Lite Sneeze * 1000 Oceans * God * Bliss * China * Raspberry Swirl * Talula * Sweet the Sting * Pretty Good Year Plus Bonus tracks: * Professional Widow (Remixed) * Cornflake Girl (UK Version) ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V12 #24 **************************
