Today's Subjects: ----------------- Wilson Phillips & Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree [Leonora Christina Skov ] Re: Left Hand Demos [Rob Caldwell ] Re: soundtrack of my life ["Aly Fields" ] Re: Left Hand Demos ["Aly Fields" ] Re: Wilson Phillips & Goldfrapp's Seventh Tre ["Aly Fields" ] Noe Venable, The Zipper Factory, March 28 ["Karen Hester" Subject: Wilson Phillips & Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree Welcome Aly! In the early 90s I was guilty of loving Wilson Phillips too. Especially Hold On and, to be honest with you, Flesh and Blood. The latter must be the most pathetic tune ever penned and besides it completely lacks substantial melody. Gormless is such a wonderful word and I'd happily apply it to W-P. However, I do suspect my fandom had a lot to do with Chynna Phillips. I loved her style back then and found her name so exceptionally cool. In Denmark we don't have any Chynna's around as far as I am concerned.. Change of subject: I have listened to Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree the last couple of weeks and like JoAnn mentioned it's a brilliant album. Very ectoish I'd say. I liked Felt Mountain a lot but did occasionally find it a bit too icy and Supernature and Black Cherry didn't really appeal to me though I did my best to like them. After all I do appreciate Goldfrapp's experimental approach, but these albums were just too much party-triphop for my acquired taste. However, Seventh Tree is so warm, slow, and shimmering in a de luxe kind of way and I love Alison's singing on it. I haven't really noticed before but she sounds a bit like Kate Bush without imitating her style. I also love the fact that the songs blend beautifully and that they seem simple yet fully orchestrated. I am particularly fond of Eat Yourself and Cologne Cerrone Houdini but I don't need to skip any tunes here.

But I still sung it at the top of my lungs. I was also going to say, 'Copehagen = Me jealous' It's probably my favorite place on earth! I still can't get into Goldfrapp however.

Best Richard ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2008 00:38:04 -0400 From: "Karen Hester" Subject: Noe Venable, The Zipper Factory, March 28 So, Issa (Jane Siberry), Vienna Teng and Rachael Sage walk into a bar. Instead of a punchline, there's a Noe Venable concert. The Zipper Factory's bar room is bordello red, with reclining sofas and a maze of doors and crannies. You push aside a black velvet curtain behind the bar to enter the theater, and settle into old car seats to watch the show. So there we were, settling, discreetly admiring Rachael Sage's outfit (so she dresses like that offstage too!), and Vienna Teng and Alex Wong slip into our row. "If there's a sing-along part of the show, we can keep our mouths shut" I hiss. The lights dim, marimba player Payton MacDonald and bassist Todd Sickafoose come on for their opening performance, and the familiar figure of Jane Sib- uh - Issa scuttles across the floor. Bloody hell, we think. Payton used recorded percussion and looped his marimba live, to interesting effect, if you're into a 30 minute jam. He and Todd are great musicians (Noe described Payton's playing as clouds of butterflies, and could instruct him to make "crickets fly through this verse" when recording with him), but I did get restless. Payton and Todd were joined by Dean Sharp (drums; violin bow on the edge of cymbals); Russ Johnson (trumpet, as seen with Rachael Sage); Jacob Lawson (violin, as seen with Noe at Rockwood) and of course Greta Gertler (piano, glockenspiel, beautiful harmonies). They hadn't all played together previously, though they're all there on 'The Summer Storm Journals'. Noe played two acoustic guitars and piano. When at the piano, her long brown hair faced the audience, shining like a horse's mane. The full-band Noe experience was incredible - the billowing sounds of all those instruments made happy songs more exuberant and crescendos more transcendent. Wow to Prayer for beauty, Into the wild, Juniper, Is the spirit here, Feral. Actually, 'wow' to many things, our brains afterwards couldn't hold all the great moments. Plus there was some rocking out (yey Todd's bass plucking). Compared to Noe's usual 1 or 2 backing musicians set-up, some subtlety was lost, especially in the delicate moments between Noe and Greta's voices, or Noe's guitar strings and Greta's piano strings. Not 'lost', perhaps; just a different way of telling the stories. Noe played all of ' 'The Summer Storm Journals' except (?) Lion Dreams, plus Juniper, Midsummer Night's Dream, Is the spirit here? and Feral from 'The world is bound by secret knots', and Boots. Her Harvard Divinity studies showed in new songs 'The honey of experience' which was inspired by a Sufi idea (I could imagine Sufis spinning to this), a wonderful piano-centered piece drawing on an African garden of Eden story, and a song addressed to drummer Dan Morris who recently died, referring to circular conceptions of life. "I'm a non practicing secular humanist!" Noe said she couldn't end the concert after shouting at us during 'Feral', so she finished with pretty 'Pontito,' about a Oliver Sacks patient who compulsively painted his hometown from memory. At the beginning of the encore, a voice from the audience called out "Noe, why are you going to Divinity School?" Noe looks up from her tuning and says "May I know who's asking?" and the voice in the black says something like "you may ask..." Noe fumbled through some words and then joked that to support her music, she needed a lucrative career - so Divinity School! We all laughed, except for the questioner. Then Noe talked about being fascinated by all religion, and finding beauty in it all. She told a story about Allah hiding Mohammad from his pursuers by weaving a spider's web over a cave entrance. "The short answer is, I'm in it for the stories" Noe finished. Then the questioner said that she didn't mind saying she was Issa, but she didn't want that to have influenced Noe's answer. Then Noe clasped her hands and said Issa is one of her heroes (or did she say heroines, or idols?) They chatted after the concert. The music really is a blur so I'm having difficulty dredging up details, other than 'wow'. Now that the film crew outside have quietened down, it's bedtime.
