There's a cool Swedish band called xanima whos cd Inside Warrior I've been enjoying. It's part metal, part prog and kinda ethereal. The vocalist is superb. The songs are varied and nice. http://www.myspace.com/xanima Anna Tired of spam? Yahoo!

HEATHCLIFF! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:28:30 -0400 From: Karen Hester Subject: Tori, Radio City Music Hall The first time I saw Tori was 'Little Earthquakes' and she was fresh and funny, a personable frizzy red-head in jeans, telling us jokes and plucking our heart-strings. At my second Tori concert 15 years later, Pip strode out in a black wig and glamorous leather and screamed about motherfucking cunts. The Radio City Music Hall 'Abnormally Attracted to Sin' concert was a partially deflated balloon: periodically aloft and bouncy, othertimes drifting across the carpet picking up fur and crumbs of meals past. Highlights included 'Space dog' with a backdrop of sparkling blue lights. The dawg rocked. 'Cornflake girl' and 'Precious things' were great with their tight arrangements - all the players (T on multiple keyboards, Jon Evans on bass, Matt Chamberlain on drums) knew what to do (though the audience perhaps knows what they're going to do too well). 'Talula' and full-band 'Icicle' were strong and brought out new aspects of the songs. 'Raspberry swirl' and 'Caught a lite sneeze' weren't perfect versions, but both fun. The pretty lighting was also a highlight, though I'm not sure about the intent behind directing lights AT the audience - you think we enjoy being blinded, why? The middle section of the concert was so damn slow though. Andante, then adagio, then largo, then grave, then curled up in bed with a soft pillow and a belly full of hot cocoa. How many freaking slow songs can she play? My mind wandered. I itemized the cutlery drying in my dish tray. I'll list the slooooow songs all together to emphasize my point: Give, Flavor, Lady in bloooo, Little earthquakes, Winter, Smells like teen spirit, Icicle, Bells for her. And then to give it some pace she slipped in the slight Jamaica Inn (bah!) and a mediocre 'Marys of the sea' (I enjoy this florid song, but the band version is turgid.) Also an unsuccessful 'Concertina', a pretty little song which with a light touch is charming, but this clunky band version made it sound simplistic rather than simple. 'Talula' into 'Fast horse' would have had me wriggling with delight, such a great combination, but no, she cut the fast song (see, it's even got a speedy name). A large impersonal venue like Radio City Music Hall does better with broad loud strokes. You could see attention drifting during the slow periods with toilet breaks, alcohol purchases and conversations. Pretty full venue though, which is good. People seemed to enjoy themselves, though security wouldn't let people dance in the aisles during the encore. Tori wore polished black heels, black tights and an Indian fringed tunic/dress in, perhaps, black and gray checked suit material. Or something. Well designed for her movement between keyboards. She also wore her eyebrows, but soon they will wriggle up to merge with her hair line. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V14 #224 ***************************
