Back then, I always found college radio stations a decent source of music for what you lament over above. Of course they were ALL OVER the place with what they played, a little for everyone (who wanted something different from the "listener supported stations" offerings). WOJ grew up in the same tri-city area that I did, I'd be interested to see if he too found the college stations a decent source (SUNY Binghamton the only really local one, but when the weather and stars were just right, I could get the stations in from the Ithaca colleges up on the hill where I lived) Mike ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:41:44 -0500 From: Timothy Jones-Yelvington Subject: Re: Goddess lists With the exception of Sheila Chandra, who I still haven't had a chance to hear, I think all of your goddesses (including Suf) would be amongst my goddesses.

I was born and raised in Philadelphia -- didn't leave there until 1979. In other words, yes, I've heard of her. And I've been a fan as well. :) Maddy Prior -- English singer songwriter best known for performing traditional English folk music, lead singer with Steeleye Span for years. I last saw her live about year ago. She also teaches voice up in Cumbria by her home. Her daughter, Rose Kemp, performs now as well. Annie Haslam -- English singer, five-octave range, now lives in the Philly suburbs and performs mostly in the PA/NJ/DE/NY area. Was the lead singer with Renaissance for years. I last saw her live when part of Renaissance staged a comeback in 2001. They performed one sold-out night at London's Astoria before a tour of Japan. (The London gig was considered a warm-up.)

In the '70s, I had WXPN and other stations in Philadelphia (anyone else remember the days when WIOQ there wasn't golden oldies -- when the late Ed Sciaky and Helen Leicht were DJs there? :). In 1979, I moved to Boulder, Colorado, where I had KBCO. It's funny. My husband (English, born and bred here and always lived in England or Wales) will talk about how certain artists were played all the time on the radio and I'll have to say, "Not on my radio." KBCO didn't play Madonna, for example. Nor did the university stations I could tune in, KGNU or KUNC. KBCO was an independent, locally owned station when I moved to Colorado. Unfortunately, in the late '90s, they were sold, and they're now part of the Clear Channel empire. :( No longer do the DJs choose exactly what they want to play when they want to play it, except under some special conditions. :( Around where I live, local radio isn't so hot. I am pleased, however, that a relative newcomer, Original 106 out of Southampton (I live in the New Forest), does have a slightly different playlist than most of the other local stations. I've heard "Army Dreamers" by Kate and "Northern Lights" by Renaissance recently, which astounded me. And there's digital, satellite and internet radio now, which helps as well.

Altho my tastes have since grown more sophisticated and I now see why it's far more ordinary/derivative than Fumbling, I still think Surfacing is far less phoned in than Afterglow, which sounds to me like Surfacing Part 2. I found Afterglow to be good comfort food music (was nice just to hear her voice again), but uninspired creatively. I think what bothers me most is when she rhymes "go" with "forego" in "Perfect Girl." it's not a rhyme. The sound is identical. Seven years to write an album and you can't fix the rhyme scheme?? tim Ellen Rawson wrote: --- Timothy Jones-Yelvington wrote: > I'm really surprised that people think Afterglow > sounds less phoned in than > Surfacing.

The first is what you mentioned. When I add an artist to a Pandora station I usually end up with five or more artists on my "to research" list. Unfortunately, I put this off too often and in a week I'm left with a list of names that I can't remember anything about, making me less inclined to research. The first problem gives way to the second after a few times, which is: Pandora always plays the same songs over and over if you say you like them (or even if you don't.) I know the algorithm must be hellish to implement, but it seems like common sense that if you give a thumbs up to, say, one Tori Amos song, you might have a good chance of liking her other songs. Pandora doesn't do this. It repeats the original song over and over until you swear that you'll disembowel the ethernet cords if you hear Bouncing Off Clouds one more time. There's a feature that lets you remove a song from play for a month, but it's not permanent. The other thing is that the thumbs-down feature seems too harsh. There are many songs which I don't actively dislike, but that I wouldn't mind if I never heard again. I usually skip them, but you can only skip so many. Again, you can remove songs from play, but that works like skipping. That said, I do discover quite a few artists from Pandora. - -Sarah Quoting Tim Jones-Yelvington : > My biggest problem with internet radio is that I'm compulsive and I > HAVE to know who nearly everyone is.
