Hey dan, congrats on yr show. i'll try and hear it--sounds fun!!!! :) I wouldn't necessarily dismiss the concerns about a man playing only women musicians though...by doing that, and emphasizing it through the show's title, you *are* making it about sex and gender. and since it's gonna be broadcast to lots of people, you are really making a huge public statement about that. that can be very tricky. good luck and i hope i can tune in :) Steve. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2001 11:33:13 -0500 From: Kaufmann@IPFW.EDU (Kaufmann_Mike) Subject: down video Returning after a couple week vacation in the northwest, I'm pleasantly surprised to discover a mysterious and semi-anonymous present from our favorite musician. The webcast giveaway reminds me a bit of her bootlegged debut via girlysound--albeit much more easily obtained. The sound is very much in the vein of WCSE, so we may not see much of a return to past styles or radical new departures, but I guess time will tell. The lyrics aren't hard to decipher in regard to her current sad marital situation, giving us her side of the story. What interests me is if anyone can identify the images on the video. I assume they're most likely an L.A. or So.Cal. location (an amusement park? local mall?), but I guess that isn't necessarily the case. In the opening we see signs with dragons and Chinese writing, which also might be helpful. There's a sign later that at about 2:31 that says Hop La.... something, again with a chinese roof shape next to it. Anybody see anything familiar?

Okay - starting Monday - I am going to have my own radio show!!! :) :) :) Me and the listings editor for a magazine I used to work for decided to start a radio show. Now - this show is something I have been planning on doing since 1998 - just before I broke my pelvis and had to cancel the whole deal. Anyway, I'm back - so is my pelvis and I have Trevor from ROOM Magazine to help me out. The show is called: "GIRLIE SO GROOVIE: THE ONLY SHOW DEDICATED TO THE GIRLS THAT ROCK AND THE GUYS THAT LOVE THEM." And yes - we got "girlie so groovie" from the PIXIES song "Debaser". For Windsor/Detroit people - you can reach it at 91.5 FM - it might reach out about as far as ANN ARBOR - BUT - it might not - and if it doesnt and also for all you other people in the world - you can listen to it live by going to www.uwindsor.ca/cjam and click on the "LISTEN LIVE" option in the top left corner...and click on the "STREAM ONE" link. - you should pick up the station via Real Audio. It makes it's big debut this coming MONDAY - 9am-10:30am - it is an early slot - but once the show gets any bugs worked out - they are bumping me to a later slot - more prime time - around 8pm - or 9pm. At any rate - the show is gonna concentrate on all our favorite female artists, and it's something original, because it is coming from two guys. We have gotten a TON of flack for being 2 guys - many people saying "No one is going to want to listen to 2 guys talk about girl singers...they wanna hear 2 girls talk about women singers/musicians..." and my response was: "Well, my show will just have to challenge that sexist attitude, won't it?" - and of course - they gave me the show immediately, so I recruited the help of Trevor Klundert, listings Editor of ROOM and Ka-BOOM! We're on! So anyone who can - listen to the show on the NET or if you are in the windsor detroit area - from yer lil ghetto blasters! We're gonna play LOTSA Liz Phair, and everything from Sleater-Kinney to Lil' Kim. It's gonna be awesome... Thanks for letting me shamelessly promote myself - but i thought it was relevant to the chat - and I am not making any money from this - just wanted to pass the news along... Talk to you soon, hope you listen, Monday July 16th- 9am-10:30am Dan. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2001 17:53:03 -0400 From: Jason Long Subject: Breeders news (off-topic) I know there are a few Breeders fans on the list, so for them, courtesy of sonicnet.com: Breeders Days Away From Completing New LP Kim Deal puts together new incarnation of band, readies first album since 1993's Last Splash. After eight years of rest, rehab and whirlwind recording sessions, the Breeders are finally ready to make another splash in the music world. Former Pixies bassist Kim Deal and her side-project-turned-chart-topping-power-pop-band are just a few days away from completing their first album since 1993's Last Splash. Tentatively titled Title TK, a clever reference to the journalism symbol meaning "to come," the album was produced by |ber-producer Steve Albini in his Electric Audio Recording Studio in Chicago. "The record as a collection covers a lot of territory," said Albini, who produced and engineered records for both the Pixies and Breeders, as well as Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Bush, PJ Harvey and Helmet. "There's some sort of classically sweet melodic songs. And there are some really strange mood pieces." Deal set out to record the third Breeders full-length with a new band in New York City three years ago. At the time, Kim's twin sister, Kelley Deal, was in rehab, so the second incarnation of the Breeders, which featured Kelley on guitar, was on permanent hiatus (the first incarnation included Throwing Muses guitarist Tanya Donelly). "The band disintegrated under her while she was in New York, and she didn't get anything of merit recorded," Albini explained. "She got burned by that experience, so she decided, 'Screw it. I'll take a year or two and I'll learn to play drums and I'll play everything myself.' " Kim entered Albini's studio in 1999 and recorded a handful of songs mostly on her own, though Kelley added guitar parts to a few tracks. "Then Kim met the guys in her current band and thought she might be able to realize her dream of having a permanent band that would record and tour and be committed," Albini said. That line-up  guitarist Richard Presley and bassist Mondo Lopez of the Los Angeles punk band Fear, drummer Jose Medeles of 22 Jacks along with sister Kelley  spent nearly a year of rehearsing and played an unannounced club show in L.A. before recording the album with Albini this year. "I'm really, really thrilled that [Kim] got hooked up with these guys, because they are really first-rate musicians and total sweethearts," Albini said. "They're dead reliable." Although Albini said the basic idea for Title TK was to structure it around a band and not a lead performer, three songs from Kim's solo sessions made the cut. "Those sound a bit more piecemeal," Albini said. "They're a bunch of interesting sounds layered together in almost a collage manner. But they fit together well, it's not like one of those records where people record a million things and sort it out later." The rest of the material is more straightforward rock band stuff, but with oblique, sometimes spooky lyrics, Albini added. "Kim's got an atypical taste on music and the things that excite her about her songs are the strange little moments of interest rather than say, a great chord progression or cool riff." Title TK will include a track called "Little Fury," named after "those little switch blades that you can buy at truck stops that say Fury on them," according to Albini. It features call and response vocals between Kim and Kelley. "You can really hear the character differences between their two voices," he added. Another song slated for the album is "The She," which Albini called "a creepy, moody song that, if I understand correctly, is about a discotheque her brother used to go to in the '70s." Kim Deal declined to be interviewed for this story. Title TK will be released by the Breeders' and Pixies' longtime label, 4AD. The album is on pace for a fall release, Albini said. The Breeders will perform several new tunes, along with material from 1990's Pod, "Cannonball" and other hits from Last Splash and maybe a song or two from Deal's short-lived other side project, the Amps, at their first announced show in five years Saturday at Chicago's 3,000-capacity Congress Theater. Albini, whose music career started in the '80s cult band Big Black, will make an appearance with his band, Shellac, August 17 and 18 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco with Neurosis and Japan's Zeni Geva.

To add to what Sarah said yesterday, I have noticed that too! Liz maybe be psychic! Especially in Whipsmart. "..I'm gonna write my whole life story on the back of his big brown eyes.." she did end up having a son and he has the biggest brown eyes. And what is up with the reference to Johnny all the time?? Maybe a mystery we will never solve...

Nothing new. There is a pic of Liz, which I have scanned and added to the gallery (which isn't quite working, but hopefully will be in the very near future). - -Ken kenmlee@ix.netcom.com MeSmErIzInG - AnOtHeR LiZ PhAiR WeBsItE http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/2471/ ------------------------------ End of support-system-digest V4 #181 ************************************
