To me Phoebe was love, intellect, talent, heart, courage, humor, and all things good. I will always treasure her music. David ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2011 09:13:49 +0100 From: Anita G Subject: NJC Poly Styrene Although not a body of work comparable to that of the sadly departed Phoebe Snow, a singer who was big influence on me and my first band died yesterday, Poly Styrene, lead singer of X Ray Spex. What I loved about her was her appearance (a bit over weight and full teeth braces when you really had to look 'attractive' as a woman in the music biz) and no nonsense feminism. I thought her song 'Germ Free Adolescents' was totally brilliant, but I guess she will be most remembered for 'Bondage, Up Yours.' I thought she was quite something. Anita x Poly Styrene, best known as the frontwoman with 1970s punk group X-Ray Spex, has died. Styrene was receiving treatment for an advanced form of breast cancer when she passed away yesterday (Monday 25 April). She was 53.News of her death spread across Twitter this morning, with fans expressing sorrow at her passing. "Hearing reports Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex has died. If so that's very sad. An absolute heroine to me as a kid," wrote mdlachlan, while PaulGardner123 wrote: "Sad news about Poly Styrene. Germ Free Adolescents and Identity are regularly played in my car." A spokesperson for Styrene confirmed her death this morning, saying everyone around her was saddened by the news. A full statement is expected later today. Styrene, who was born Marian Joan Elliott-Said, shot to fame in 1976 with X-Ray Spex, and was immortalised in punk history with the song Oh Bondage, Up Yours! "Little girls should be seen and not heard," Styrene would say to introduce the track. X-Ray Spex released one album, the acclaimed Germ Free Adolescents in 1978, before Styrene left the group. Despite her relatively short stint with the band, Styrene's overt feminism and mixed-race heritage marked her out among her punk contemporaries and won her legions of fans for generations to come. Beth Ditto, singer with Gossip, said: "Poly Styrene [was] so ahead of her time. She recreated punk." In a biography of the singer, Billboard.com said: "She sang in a raw, untutored scream that quavered and shook when she looked to extend her range, a vocal style echoed by riot grrls like Kathleen Hanna and Corin Tucker." Styrene went on to release a solo record in 1980, Translucence, but a series of traumatic incidents stalled her career. The singer was sectioned after being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia in the 80s, and was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In 1995, she survived being hit by a fire engine. Styrene was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, and was told it had spread to her lungs and spine. Despite undergoing treatment, she gave numerous interviews in recent months to promote her latest solo album, Generation Indigo. In an interview with the Guardian in March, she was described as "ironically upbeat" in spite of her health. She told the Guardian: "You remember that old song 'Que Sera Sera, Whatever will be, will be, the future's not ours to see'? I've always felt that. It's been a rollercoaster ride, but I wouldn't change a thing. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:16:41 -0400 From: "Gary Z." Subject: Re: Phoebe Snow RIP NJC This is very sad news. When I attended the Joni Tribute at Carnegie Hall in February of 2006, I was lucky enough to also attend the special meet and greet, and although she didn't perform, I was thrilled to be able to meet and talk briefly with Phoebe, who was there for the show. She was extraordinarily kind, and took the time to sign an autograph and pose for a photo with me, which now proudly hangs from a wall in my home office. Meeting her was definitely a highlight of that trip for me. I mentioned to her how much I loved her song, "Easy Street" which I believe originally appeared as a "B" side of one of her singles, and she told me that it was actually a demo recording that was almost not released at all. If you haven't heard it, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYnMj29WuGY Truly another terrible loss.

She covered "A Case Of You" before it was popular to do so. I liked everything she ever did. The finest version of "At Last" I ever heard. And I know she has lots of fans here as we've had a number of threads about her.

I had to listen to the end to see who it was. My boss was hounding me for being late in heading off to class. The song was Poetry Man by one Phoebe Snow. I know her, I thought, she's the wifey who sang with Paul Simon on Gone at Last. I so loved this song I bought a Best of... or the like. Poetry Man is so Joni-like. 'Talk to me...' When I listen to it now I imagine Joni singing it in her long pink dress circa 70/71, with those sweeping notes from octave to one higher, her bottom lip slightly protruding at times, and and and... I love Phoebe Snow. A great singer. She will be missed. Bless.

A musician friend of mine found the sitar of his dreams in AUSTIN. The lady selling it insists on a local pickup, she won't ship. So we need someone willing to travel to Austin, buy the sitar (no inspection necessary), pack it and ship it. My friend is ready to pay $400 for the service and naturally will pay all expenses in advance. Please pm me if interested.
