MORTIFIED! I am such a dork. Dan, yeah, I was surprised at how, um, not-strong her voice was. The first time she performed Hide and Seek, it took her a few notes to get in tune (although I believe that song is particularly difficult to start off in tune because her singing starts right at the beginning with no note or chord to reference, and she's got those vocoder layers messing around), and throughout all of her performances, there were weak notes. My guess is that she was nervous as hell (watching the Letterman clip on the web, I got that impression too), which caused a bit of wavery fluttering in her voice. I believe that she's also said that she doesn't consider herself to be a singer, but a songwriter and programmer first and foremost. The misconception coming out of Frou Frou that Guy did all the music and she was just "the singer" thus irked her a bit. Not that she's a bad singer, it's just not her primary focus or her strength. I think I read that somewhere, or else I'm just making it up. ******* I saw Vienna Teng at Kyler's show last week. She's been in town working with Larry Klein on a new album, and wanted to show some support for Kyler. Interestingly, they recorded the basic tracks at one of the studios where I used to work. Then they did overdubs and vocals at larry's personal studio before heading up to S.F. to record the strings. Vienna said they're hoping for a summer release. Also saw Rob Dickinson, of the now disbanded Catherine Wheel. Very very good. Just him with his acoustic and some delay and distortion pedals on it made for a vastly different interpretation of his solo and CW songs.

Cowboy Junkies - Bread and Wine Paul Kelly - You Broke a Beautiful Thing If you want cheese metal, there's always "I Saw Red" by Warrant. (What can I say? A friend in high school was a huuuuuuuuge fan. I'm lucky that I've managed to expunge any of their catalogue from my memory.) /nm - -- Nadyne Mielke nadyne@little-blue-world.org Little Blue World http://www.little-blue-world.org/ ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V12 #33 **************************
