Hey, wait until I start talking about the Hold Steady ;-) I should have known Erin was a Veda fan. The one song I really liked, which she hasn't recorded yet, reminded me a lot of her stuff, and the love of old songs was another clue. When the next album comes out, I might give it a try, based on that one song! As we left, Erin was leaning up against the bar, coat and hat on, chatting with someone, so it was obvious she was very approachable, despite my initial take on her as she entered the venue. As for how she went down with Thea fans, I thought she went down very well. One of the reasons I came to admire her was the way she won people over with her good humour and energy, getting people to sing along with her right from the start. Of course, her sterling contribution on the guitar to the encores doubly endeared her, and I'm sure even the Thea fans appreciated that. The only slight drawback was the usual chatter at the back of the venue. It's a small place with the bar not that far from the stage, and there were the usual bozos who had only come to see Thea and weren't going to let ANY supporting act spoil their night out. I always find this rude and inconsiderate at the best of times (the worst of times being, of course, when people chat all the way through the headline act) but it really began to bother me, seeing as how Erin was doing such a great job of drawing the more receptive people into her world. I only hope that this didn't put her off or cause offence. One of the notable things at the encore was the height difference. Thea was wearing heels, and absolutely towered over Erin. Still, she made up for it, believe me. Over on the Thea forum, the response to Erin seems to have been quite positive, with a couple of people echoing my own feelings (maybe it's a Brit thing). This, however, is high praise. The last guy I saw open for Thea, who I didn't think was bad but not particularly memorable, got absolutely slated afterwards. And thanks, Meth, for the feedback on the, um...feedback. It's good to know that, to mix metaphors, I'm not just howling at the moon or pissing on anyone's chips. And thanks, Damon, for coming out of the shadows. adam k. - ----------------------------------------------- This mail sent through http://webmail.zoom.co.uk ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 08:53:51 -0400 From: "Jill Hughes" Subject: Re: Politics, religion, and . . .

To which I must answer, first, Paula Cole's "Feelin' Love," and, second, just about any track from The Best of Massive Attack, particularly "Inertia Creeps." And for the kinkier among us, the soundtrack to John Stagliano's The Fashionistas has some good stuff on it as well (or is that too much information?).

Wow, Diamanda Galas. Certainly passion there. Can you dance to it? Vena Cava is one of my favorite alarm clocks. "What TIME is it?" Start with cuddling, maybe Holly Cole's Temptation.

I have two sites for you. One is for an artist who paints pattern-rich instruments free from conceptual construct: http://www.dannyowens.net The other is an actual instrument that generates a stream of controllable, "playable" pattern-rich imagery to enjoy along with music. Probably great for the Ecto crowd: http://www.visualinstrument.com I'm involved in both, as I study how to use pattern perception to enhance our ability to develop cognitive templates which are functionally and experientially enriching. It's not the meaning in the pattern, it's the fact we depend on meaning in the pattern that's important... p On 3/23/07 4:32 PM, "kerry white" wrote: > Hi, Whether you are very spiritual or a humanist, if you see shapes in > clouds or hear meaning in the wind, try these: Pareidolia and Apophenia. > Apply them as you will or won't.

I was thinking of responding to this thread and mentioning the movie 10. Dudley Moore was having a rough time with the music, and when the record player stuck it generated a pretty funny line. But I for one prefer silence or quiet, preferably real natural sounds. Barring that, it might be interesting to make love to live music, so the soundtrack perfectly matches the spontaneity of the moment. But you'd have to really like the musicians. It's certainly a tough question! In a pinch, I'd have to say Jim Hall's Concierto album, side two, would be something I think would work for me. For the more contemporary sound, what else but Viktor Krauss's (with his sister Allison singing...) "Big Log". (ahem...) On to words. Kerry mentioned Pareidolia.
