I looked through the navy-soup archives and didn't see it mentioned, but if I missed it, I do apologize. I thought it was a nice review and I am kicking myself for not knowing enough about Sarah at the time to have been there. Oh well. :) Marla (tiara) ===== ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Famous people wearing my tiara: http://www.marlatiara.com (*updated 8/12/00 - Sarah Slean!)

Although she got a longer set than many of the girls that played that night...well, you can never get enough good music. I got to hear three songs I'd never heard before -- Julia, something cute about yuppies in the music buisness (does it have a name?), and a cover that she did by request. The cover was ok, but the lyrics weren't Slean-quality. Still it was beautiful. She played Duncan and it was charming. I really hope that song makes it on her next album. She started with "I do", a song that I like a lot, but the best song of the evening (IMO) was Julia. Amazing. Heart-breaking. Cathartic. I hope it gets recorded, somehow, somewhere. Any update on the next album? Some kind of projected month? For those interested: New Dar Williams album to come out this month! Off-topic!! I thought I'd introduce something and see how it's taken. This guy: http://www.hagelin.org/ is a Physicist who's running on the reform party ticket. Perhaps to offset the lunacy of Pat Buchanan. He seems to be very bright, innovative, and interested in the right issues. Take a look. Let me know what you think. :) Thanks Soph ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 03:21:02 GMT From: "Tab Siddiqui" Subject: Re: Sarah at C'est What Sophie wrote: >Although she got a longer set than many of the girls that played that >night...well, you can never get enough good music.

I waited *4 years* to hear her play that, and man, was it worth it. Absolutely heart-wrenching. I'll admit, only time I cried all night. Oh, wait - except for Emm's "The Good You Make"... 'cause it was for me. ;-) "Julia" is actually one of the only OLP songs I ever really *liked*, so to hear it Sarah's way is even better. :-) >and a cover that she did by request. The cover was ok, but the lyrics > >weren't Slean-quality. Still it was beautiful. That cover was only a crystalline version of The Verve's haunting "The Drugs Don't Work". Richard Ashcroft is a prety simple wordsmith, but he gets his point across. ;-) >She played Duncan and it was charming. I really hope that song makes it >on >her next album.

That would be *awesome*, but again, it *is* OLP's song after all. And Sarah's pretty much over *them*. ;-P OLP played her version on their big stadium tour a couple of years ago, actually, which was kind of neat because it introduced some people to her name... >Any update on the next album? Some kind of projected month? Not really, although she is hard at work on it with co-producer, crazy Toronto romantic Hawksley Workman. Now *that* should be interesting. :-) >For those interested: New Dar Williams album to come out this month! YES! :-) Just saw her put on a transcendent set at the Hillside Festival in Guelph, and now can't *wait* for the album and her subsequent show in Toronto (September 26th non-smoking show (!!) at Lee's with local folk heroine Katherine Wheatley supporting, kids! :-))... - - Tab :) ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2000 23:35:10 -0400 From: "Chris C / iCE" Subject: RE: Sarah at C'est What She played Julia?
