Mike Oldfield's "Moonlight Shadows", which I know was more popular in Europe than in the US. A friend returned from spending a year working in Spain and was surprised I knew the song; it was big in Spain then. And then I remember hearing it in the background during the Sarajevo Olympic coverage on TV at one point.

Adam Ant - Goody Two Shoes and/or Desperate But Not Serious B-52s - Rock Lobster and/or Private Idaho Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead Birthday Party - Cry David Bowie - Fashion Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party Camper Van Beethovan - Take the Skinheads Bowling (because Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart came too late) Elvis Costello - Watching the Detectives Miles Davis - Tutu Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia King Crimson - Elephant Talk Rikki Lee Jones - anything off her first album, but notably Chuck E.'s in Love and Danny's All-Star Joint Heart - Mistral Wind and/or Dog & Butterfly Laurie Anderson - O Superman Gang of Four - To Hell With Poverty and/or I Found That Essence Rare Marillion - Market Square Heroes Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way or President Gas Mission of Burma - That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate Roxy Music - More Than This Shriekback - all of Oil And Gold, but probably Nemesis Siouxsie & the Banshees - Christine Smiths - How Soon is Now? Patti Smith - Dancing Barefoot Soft Cell - Tainted Love and/or Sex Dwarf Stiff Little Fingers - Roots, Radicals, Rockers and Reggae or Nobody's Heroes Suzanne Vega - The Queen and the Soldier Tom Waits - all of Rain Dogs, but probably: Jockey Full of Bourbon Hang Down Your Head Downtown Train Rain Dogs Clap Hands XTC - Making Plans for Nigel Yaz - Don't Go Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London or Excitable Boy and, um, last, but absolutely not least: Happy Rhodes - anything and/or everything off Rhodes I, Rhodes II and Rearmament.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I have gotten to listen to Noe's new CD (titled _The Summer Storm Diaries_, btw) and Oh. My. This is essential ecto listening, especially if your tastes run toward the cerebral (e.g. Veda Hille, Emily Bezar). Plus, it's simply *gorgeous*.

That's an accurate assessment all around. Her stuff is a bit more pop-rock than Happy and Noe, but you want some variety to spice up the evening. She is a great singer and a good musician and songwriter ... she'll be a great opener, I'm sure of it. - -- =============================================== 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 =============================================== ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #231 ***************************
