Well b4 the tower... I caught some Sarah Slean down at Ted's Wrecking Yard. I've never really been exposed to much of the "Sleanster" but I absolutely loved her set and I bought her new CD "Blue Parade" and lemme tell ya... IT KICKS SOOO MUCH ASS!! I'm listening to it at work as I type! =) Anyways... after a quaint little lunch in little Italy with some kewl kewl "fumbler" friends, we headed down to the tower. Needless to say... EMM ROCKED!!! as usual of course! =) I couldn't believe it... she played THE END and I was like, "Holy shit!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!" I've never heard her play it live so I was all psyched! And she played that thrush hermit cover which I heard for the first time as well. So that was kewl. But I think the BESTEST, KEWLEST thing of all... was that I *finally* got to meet the one and only Kristy!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO for me!!!! Kristy.... YOU'RE AWESOME!!!! =) Andy writes: >Question: if Kristy and Michelle were to have a screaming match, who'd win? LOL...

(and an Emm show) Dunno why this didn't make it out the first time... - -----FW: SleanFest '99! (and an Emm show)----- [Apologies to those of you who are getting this twice... there's a reason for me rolling my remarks about both shows into one (as you will see later :) ) ] Well, what a weekend that was! Three Sarah shows -- on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; and an Emm Gryner show at the CN Tower to top it all off. Of all the Sarah shows, I think I enjoyed Friday's the best; it wasn't all hot and disgusting like Thursday night, and there weren't as many people there, AND Sarah had the string quartet! (I must say, that is an unusual string quartet -- normally a quartet is made up of two violins, a viola and a cello, but I guess viola players, as always, are in short supply) Sarah was _amazing_. As Emm said when she opened for Sarah on Friday, "How is it possible that one person can have THAT much talent?" I have to concur. It makes me slightly jealous but, of course, we all have talents in our own ways, and hers is music. Mine happens to be computer stuff, which isn't quite so glamorous, but hey :) I enjoy it just as much as Sarah enjoys playing. The great thing about Sarah is she appears to pull absolutely NO bullshit; either she is really good at fooling me, or her stage persona is pretty much her real life persona. I'm talking about the stuff she talks about in between songs; what she thinks about, how she thinks, her relationships... it seems - -extremely- honest and sincere. Her views are also very intelligent and well-thought-out; she has a concise yet expressive way of expounding her thoughts on life. More on that in a minute :) Let me just say a few things about the Emm show. Well, the confusion about the $10 or not entrance fee turned out badly for us, since we eventually had to pay to get in. But we did get to go up the CN Tower, which was some recompense. Emm's set list was half-composed of old songs (from OLY and Public) and songs from Science Fair. I actually kept a set list, so here we go: - - Your Sort of Human Being - - Phonecall 45 - - Revenge - - Wisdom Bus - - July - - The End - - Doomsday - - Stereochrome - - Disco Lights - - Summerlong - - Boy Races - - encore: a Thrush Hermit song whose name I do not know (James? care to fill in :) ) It was not a bad show. I'm glad she played Disco Lights, although her introduction to it was a new one; I didn't begin to recognize it until at least a full minute into the song. She also tried to do a new intro to 'Summerlong' but then I guess screwed it up, so she started over, inserting some banter in between the takes :) It's interesting to see both Sarah and Emm in one day, because it really makes me think about each's respective strengths and weaknesses (in my own, personal, totally subjective view). I am drawn to Sarah's music because the songs are gorgeous; they are definitely NOT pop songs but... erm, I don't know what! You would probably never see her on the Top 40s. The lyrics are wonderfully emotional, sometimes sad, sometimes wistful and her arrangements are pleasant to the ear. I'm also drawn to her because I think she is a really intelligent person and does a LOT of thinking, and it shows in her songs. She is undoubtedly very well read, and it comes through. I probably find her to be the most honest artist I have ever seen live. Why I like Emm is completely different. Emm is much more of a "pop" artist; not to say that she caters to the Backstreet Boys crowd or anything :) but at least some of her songs are catchy and dancy (Disco Lights, anyone?) Of course, there are a few exceptions, say, Stardeep, but many of her songs are primarily "melodic constructions" (I'm sorry, I'm not a musicologist so I don't know all the terminology). To be honest I have to criticise her a bit for her in-between song banter; sometimes she comes across as being fake, or even just speaking for the sake of speaking. I would say she's more of a "head" thinker and not a "heart" thinker like Sarah. Anyway, I've gone on long enough... I just began thinking about each's respective similarities and differences after the show(s) yesterday and thought it was interesting how I like them for completely different reasons. There's always a fear in overanalyzing individuals that I do not really know all that well; I mean, I'm not a close personal friend of either Sarah or Emm, so I could be reading them entirely wrong. Let's just call these my "first impressions" and leave it at that :) - - Julian [ Julian C.

I found the article online at http://www.realm.net/net/2/0615e-emmpowered.html I think I read the whole magazine twice all the way through at work today, I was THAT bored -I hate double shifts. I don't like this photo shoot. It looks very 'dark-alley'-ish and the cover bothers me. BUT, the article itself is very cool.
