(1) an even easier method is to use killall, i.e. $ killall -9 firefox-bin no need to look up the pid (2) aside: if you do "ps axc | grep -i firefox", you won't see "grep" in the results paul shad 96c / uw cs 2001 fan of / ewb / eff / aclu / cc / mac os x / toyota prius / habs / friday night lights / v. mars / steve poltz / libbie schrader "No man's life, liberty or property are safe while the legislature is in session." -- NY Judge Gideon Tucker, 1866 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2007 03:52:41 EDT From: SpiritWe@aol.com Subject: Re: ecto-digest V13 #113 MPress Records - The Muscle Behind the Glitter! * * * RACHAEL SAGE ON TOUR NOW - VISIT WEBSITE FOR UPDATES!

Piano-based music, but with different influences. The title track reminds me of Rickie Lee Jones' self-titled debut album. Comparisons to Fiona Apple are also merited, particularly in Fiona's recent work. Check her out at: www.myspace.com/astridswan All-Music Guide's review: Astrid Swan hails from Finland, a country perhaps best known for its epic, costume-clad metal bands, but she certainly doesn't sound like it. Her English language debut, Poverina, croons like Rufus Wainwright, shimmers like Kate Bush, and glimmers with hints of Laurel Canyon artists like Joni Mitchell and Judee Sill; it's the kind of album, in other words, that will expand her reach beyond Finnish shores if only because it sounds familiar. Of course, one might wonder whether the world needs another Wainwright, Antony, or Regina Spektor, but Swan manages to carve out a niche for herself, perhaps in virtue of the fact that she draws from a host of interesting role models. Her fascination with Sill is loud and clear on the title track; like many of Sill's compositions ("Lamb Ran 'Way with the Crown" comes to mind), "Poverina" is lush with loping pianos, jaunty flutes, and airy background vocals. "Rock 'N' Roll Blonde" is a lovely mash-up of Tori Amos and Mitchell; it's all dark piano chords and thick orchestration, recalling From the Choirgirl Hotel and Court and Spark in the same instant. Lyrically, Swan is probably more akin to Wainwright than the Laurel Canyon set; the words themselves play second fiddle to Swan's flexible, clear, emotive alto. Like Wainwright, Swan is a charismatic performer; one is compelled to follow her, and she makes it easy to do so. And it's ultimately this charisma that makes Poverina a compelling debut. These are conscientiously made songs; they're intelligent, whimsical, and entertaining to boot. But they wouldn't be anything without Swan's skill as an actor and interpreter. I'm not familiar with most of these comparisons, but I'd highly recommend picking the album up. It's got a mix of styles, and some beautiful orchestrations and arrangements. You can hear a range of influences, but she reall makes them into something new.
