Fortunately, come May 5 you should be able to find _Spine_ in any well-stocked record store in the U.S., because that's when Bottom Line Records will be officially releasing it down here.

She'll be spending a chunk of time in New York City this spring, and I know she'd love to play as many places as she can. If you have any ideas for where would be good places for her to play in Boston, either post them here or send them directly to me, and I'll forward them to her manager. **what about these places... the Kendall Cafe', TT the bears (a little more rock-y of a venue than Veda is, but just in case...), Upstairs at the Middle East...any of those places possibilities? At the very least, I expect to be able to see her at the Iron Horse in Northampton sometime in the not too distant future. I know she knocked their socks off when she was there with the Scrappy Bitch Tour last November. **so i heard, still kicking myself for missing that one ugh sus ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 17:06:22 +0200 (MET DST) From: Yves Denneulin Subject: Re: Welcome Me...? > > Just discovered the list today, got subbed up, thought I'd > > introduce myself.

Same for me, I got _Spine_ through Neile (thanks again Neile!) after having read how good her music is for months on ecto. I find her voice and songwriting haunting, staying in my head for a long time after the CD stopped (right now I keep hearing _26 years_).

As you've heard, "spine" will be released here in the States on May 5. We want to be sure to get the album to the kind of stores that will understand and support Veda, and so we're asking if you can help us a bit. We would love to know what stores around you or your friends you think would be important. We will of course be trying to get the record in every record store, but if there's some cool independent store you think is more likely to put up posters and offer rare items like, oh, say, a special 7" vinyl single with special mixes, we'll do our best to get these things to that store. You are those who understand Veda and probably know better than we which stores these might be... Feel free to contact us at this address: BLineRecs@aol.com I look forward to meeting many of you at CB's Gallery in May.

Just a note re the post from Kevin of Bottom Line records: please send your responses directly to him. Cc the list if you want, but you have to send the note to him separately, because he's currently not on the list -- I worked my magic so his post could get through. :) And please do send him your suggestions if you have them! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Apr 1998 23:58:41 From: meredith Subject: new england enlightenment :) Hi! (I seem to have dropped my .sig -- if you find it, can you return it to me please? Oh, there it is. Thank you. :) So there's a bunch of us New Englanders on the list -- anyone from Maine or Vermont? Those are the only states we're missing so far. :) Kay posted: >Agreed--just got Songs about People/Buildings and have decided that even >early Veda is cool. "Even"? :) I enjoy that tape very much. "Laine" ranks up there with "Precious Heart" and "26 Years" in my book -- it's positively gorgeous. bonsai reported: >I just found out about this gig today and I'm trying to figure out a way to >be there, even though we have two (of five) of our office on vacation that >week! Argh! I'm thinking on the morning of the 5th you start complaining of stomach discomfort and have to leave by noon. That'll give you enough time to get down to NYC, and you'll be believed when you call in sick the next day. ;> (No, I've *never* actually done this. Really. ;) >Whoa!

What needs to happen is more radio stations have to start discovering her. WFUV in New York City has been doing a lot for her down there (Rita Houston, the music director is a rabid fan), and that needs to happen in places like Boston et al. +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ ------------------------------ End of trajectory-digest V2 #26 *******************************
