What I'm thinking is that any e-mail address posted on a newsgroup is going to be an easy target for spammers, and I'd like to keep the spam flood as in control as possible!

Universe, Blue Parade, Night Bugs, Day One, Orphan Music - like, love, adore them. The Baroness - am rather bored by it so far (fingers crossed, am continuing to listen). The songs and lyrics are too plain; lots of slow boring ballads; the genres it touches on are gospel, cabaret etc - I want more pop, rock, hell I'll take opera. The new song I liked the most at the concert was 'Parasol' which isn't on the album - this mad lively song was only available to pre-sale buyers who were willing to pay as much for postage as the album. 'Parasol' tumbles along at great speed, spilling melody over the side, silly rhymes piling on top of one another. "And I coughed this up in a sooty perfume, Out of my mouth like a feather plume, And now here's one more crazy tune", stench, bench, wrench; lane, Spain, explain. Eliza Doolittle would choke. A song I would happily legally download IF it were available. Such are the reasons I hate record companies. Somehow she picked all my least favorites from The Baroness to play - the most boring of boring. No poppy catchy 'Change your mind' or 'So many miles', ghostly 'Shadowland', dramatic 'Hopeful hearts'. She played 'California', 'Pilgrim', 'Duncan', 'Blue parade', 'Universe' (a request), and those were all lovely. Great band (upright bass, drums, guitar). Sarah stood and danced for 'Lucky me,' and the cameras came out. Her theatrical mannerisms can distract from the music - even though the persona goes with the music, it is awkwardly realized and can be uncomfortable to watch for some. Still, enough lovely moments, and I don't like the previous albums any the less. The Paper Raincoat (Vienna Teng, Alex Wong, Amber Rubarth) played Rockwood Music Hall at 11pm. Meredith described them as 'very Brooklyn' which captures it - lots of local place references, urban folk perhaps, with Vienna's piano expertise and Alex's mad percussion and guitar skills (skillz) rescuing songs from lack of rehearsal. They each led their own songs, sounding like solo artists playing with mates rather than a band (which is fine). Though I'm not into Vienna's recent album, 'City Hall' is always heart-warming, '1br/1ba' was made interesting with Alex hitting his box, and the two new songs were new and thus of interest. Amber Rubarth played guitar and glockenspiel and looked freakily like Katie Holmes, with her wide down-turned eyes. She was sweet and cute and her songs were cute and sweet. Funny lyrics, catchy melodies, all about being broken up with. Hopefully she'll expand her repertoire to include initiating-the-breaking-up lyrics as I did feel rather that she needed to be sat down and told that he wasn't worthy of all these songs :) Would need to see her play solo to determine whether she's sickly in a bigger dose, or just as charming.

If you're far away from your speakers and don't notice there's a woman singing, it's so Psychocandy by the Jesus and Mary Chain, same canned drum sound, same guitars, same fuzzy feedback and sugar melodies. During the first song 'Aly, walk with me', I was thinking crunchier Elysian Fields and Julie Cruise's Twin Peaks stuff, but it's such a twin to Psychocandy that other comparisons quickly disappear.
