Make sure you: - - have the latest version of Firefox - - have the latest version of Flash - - don't have an ad-blocking plugin that is blocking MySpace's music controller It is highly unlikely this is related to a firewall.

I do have an ad blocker, but it doesn't list any blockable elements on MySpace. Oh well -- at least I'm able to browse MySpace on Safari!

Hello all! So, I'm pretty new to Ecto but I'm a huge Happy Rhodes fan! I know all you people here have probably talked about all these points before, I don't know how recently, but I implore you all to talk about them again, purely for my benefit! What are peoples' favourite Happy Rhodes album, if any? Does anyone have a particular favourite song or lyrics? Has anyone been to a live performance of Miss Rhodes? [I'd love to hear of these!] And...is Happy married? I keep coming to dead ends and reading about hurricane warnings...

I'm sure people will be happy to recount thier Happy memories, but you can get started by visiting her Ectoguide page at http://www.ectoguide.org/alpha/r/rhodes.happy. There you can read reviews of concerts and albums, among other Happy-related thoughts.

Hi Marc, and welcome to ecto. This is a great way for me to think about Happy and her music, and get me to post on ecto, which I haven't done for ages. What are peoples' favourite Happy Rhodes album, if any? I guess I have to go with a sentimental favorite: Equipoise. That's the first of her albums that I heard. Although I'm a big fan of The Keep and Building the Colossus too. Does anyone have a particular favourite song or lyrics? I have a lot of favorite songs, but the one that always comes to mind first is "Save Our Souls." I think the acoustic version is my favorite. On a side note, I get shivers when I listen to her version of "O Holy Night." Has anyone been to a live performance of Miss Rhodes? [I'd love to hear of these!] I've seen Happy once, at one of the Ectofests. Seeing Ms. Rhodes perform live was amazing. You've heard the incredible range this woman has, but to see her perform live is truly astounding. I was flabbergasted the way she swooped from her low register to her high register with such effortlessness. The woman is incredibly talented. Now we just need a new album! Enjoy! Michael Michael R.

RoSfest is a 3 day long progressive rock festival. tonight we saw Ephemeral Sun (not particularly good), John Young (who was sort of like a proggy bruce hornsby), and neo. neo was interesting - it's sort of a prog cover band / supergroup, playing songs by the bands that the members are from. they played music by IQ, Arena, Jadis, Pendragon, Shadowland, and Pallas. they'd apparently originally intended to have Peter Banks with them, and also do some Yes songs, but homeland security was apparently dubious about Mr. Bank's identity and wouldn't let him in the country. Saturday's lineup is: Mirthrandir Hamadryad Karmakanic Satellite I haven't heard any of those guys before. Sunday's lineup is: Magic Pie Pineapple Thief (sounds a lot like radiohead) Pallas (which i've heard described as "neo and symphonic prog with classic rock tendancies") The Watch (Italian band that sounds similar to gabriel era genesis) There's apparently still some tickets left for Saturday and Sunday, for anyone who is interested. http://www.rosfest.com - -- brni i don't want the world, i just want your half. www.livejournal.com/~brni ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V12 #109 ***************************
