Monday, May 18, 10:00 pm EST

Come on in and chat with Veda Hille!

Vedahille enters.
Michaelbtt says, "Woohoo!"
Jeff_wasilko says, "Hi Veda!"
Meth1120 says, "hey there! :)"
Michaelbtt says, "Hi!"
Vedahille says, "hey gang you must excuse me for being slow, i'm trying to figure this out"
Michaelbtt says, "We'll do it in 3/4 time so you'll be comfortable"
Meth1120 says, "don't worry - any questions, just ask"
Meth1120 says, "so how was dinner?"
Vedahille says, "you know i like 5 better. does anyone have any idea how to make the screen bigger, where the conversation actually is dinner was good, kates joint"
Michaelbtt says, "the text is tiny, isn't it? It's a programming thing, I'm afraid"
Meth1120 says, "hmmm, if you make the entire browser screen bigger that will probably do it -- click on the corner of the browser window and pull it"
Michaelbtt says, "the font will stay the same size though"
Meth1120 says, "though you're on a laptop, aren't you -- there's probably a limit to how much bigger you can get it. :)"
Michaelbtt says, "I'm sorry but I forgot which of your songs you did in five - I can think of at least 3 in 3 though"
Vedahille enters.
Michaelbtt says, "October Project's Deep As You Go is in five"
Meth1120 says, "Hey, it can be a contest. ;) Guess which of Veda's songs are in 5!"
Vedahille says, "hi sorry i was away for a minute"
Meth1120 says, "we were just ruminating on which of your songs are in 5"
Michaelbtt says, "I said I know at least 3 of your songs in 3"
Michaelbtt says, "don't remember which one is in five"
Vedahille says, "ok, slumber queen has some 5, pause has some 5, the same has five.......and alot are in 11, which is 5 plus 6, for you math whizzes"
Michaelbtt says, "The other think I like about Deep As You Go is the way it hovers between major and minor"
Vedahille says, "i don't know deep as you go"
Meth1120 says, "11 ?!?"
Michaelbtt says, "from OPs second cd"
Vedahille says, "yeah, you can count to 11 meth"
Michaelbtt says, "A lot of Albanian music is in 7"
Meth1120 says, "i can count to 11, i've just never actually given thought to the fact that a song could be in 11. :)"
Vedahille says, "i don't know october project either i'm afraid"
Michaelbtt says, "New Jersey's answer to Pentangle ;-)"
Vedahille says, "you should try counting 26 years sometime"
Meth1120 says, "late, lamented band who met their demise at the hands of Major Label Hell. :( They were rather pretentious (imho), but I loved their first album."
Michaelbtt says, "That's why I'm such a lousy bass player - my rhythm sux"
Meth1120 says, "i'm really bad at counting songs ... one of the reasons why my musical career ended in high school"
Jeff_wasilko says, "if I had a dime for every band that met its demise at the hands of Major Labels..."
Michaelbtt says, "My wife can play all those weird signatures - she's a 'real' musician"
Vedahille says, "rhythm is important. but i don't really want you all counting the tunes. i try to hide those complexities"
Meth1120 says, "one of my good friends (don, whom i believe all of you have met) is excellent at picking out time signatures - he probably has had "26 years" figured out since he got the album."
Michaelbtt says, "it all comes down to 2 and 3"
Great_Spangled enters.
Great_Spangled says, "hey! i found it! cool"
Vedahille says, "hello great spangled"
Meth1120 says, "hi! welcome! do we know you irl? :)"
Michaelbtt says, "Brubeck's Blue Rondo a la Turk is in 9 -- 2, 2, 2, 3"
Great_Spangled says, "hello vedahille"
Vedahille says, "i think i'm regretting not chooosing a cool alias. i love blue rondo"
Meth1120 says, "we're having fun with weird time signatures :)"
Great_Spangled says, "my dinner tastes like bath and body works sun ripened raspberry soap!"
Michaelbtt says, "As a kid, I loved Time Out - I saw Brubeck and Duke Ellington at the 1964 Worlds Fair"
Meth1120 says, "um, is that a good thing?"
Michaelbtt says, "yuk"
Great_Spangled says, "no, not at all!:)"
Jeff_wasilko says, "Time Out was one of my first jazz purchases..."
Meth1120 says, "i'm not going to ask how that happened, then (the soapy dinner, i mean)"
Great_Spangled says, "someone took all of the dish soap out of my house on campus so i must use the B&bw soap"
Loudfan enters.
Great_Spangled says, "hi load fan"
Michaelbtt says, "Veda what were the earliest things you remember hearing?"
Vedahille says, "i'm finding this rather surreal. i liked to eat the bath bubbles when i was a kid though."
Meth1120 says, "ick! that can't be good for you!"
Great_Spangled says, "i meant loudfan"
Loudfan says, "hi everyone!"
Taocamdin enters.
Meth1120 says, "hi, sue! :)"
Great_Spangled says, "i used to eat cocoa butter"
Taocamdin says, "Veda hille could it be true??"
Vedahille says, "earliest auditory. um, mom's voice i think. i used to hear that when i played piano too. could what be true?"
Meth1120 says, "so veda, welcome to the wonderful world of Web chat. surreal usually doesn't begin to explain it. :)"
Great_Spangled says, "when i was six i started to hear colours in music and i wondered why there are no red keys on the pian0"
Taocamdin says, "well I guess it is true you are here"
Meth1120 says, "you heard your mom's voice when you were playing piano - meaning like it was part of the music?"
Michaelbtt says, "I meant what music do you remember hearing - what your parents made or listened to?"
Vedahille says, "either i'm here or my manager knows how to type just like me."
Loudfan says, "OK, I might as well get this over with -- Veda, when are you coming to San Francisco?? It's an easy flight from Vancouver! :)"
Great_Spangled says, "ive gotten better, now i can hear it with all of my senses. by the way, youre going to get a lot of airplay on my radio show"
Taocamdin says, "Veda, i have a question, what is you're song Rhapsody about?"
Vedahille says, "hey loudfan. the scrappy bitch tour is trying to come to california in mid september."
Meth1120 says, "from what i've heard, it's rare for celebrities to type (or even attend) their own chat sessions - we must all be special :)"
Michaelbtt says, "SBT revives?"
Loudfan says, "That would be GREAT!"
Great_Spangled says, "you music has great colours, youd be great at the java house at my school."
Grafyfr enters.
Vedahille says, "hi tao rhapsody is about a friendship i had, when it was still being figured out about what kind of thing it would be that is the worst sentence i have ever typed. i'm glad you like the colours spangled."
Kscleaves enters.
Great_Spangled says, "thanks:)"
Meth1120 says, "what school, G_S?"
Meth1120 says, "Welcome, kay!"
Great_Spangled says, "we got Spine at the studio.St. Lawrence university IN Canton NY"
Meth1120 says, "hey cool, the north country"
Vedahille says, "are you the person who emailed about coming to st lawrence?"
Great_Spangled says, "we get some lovely winters here:). Yes I,m the one, Cool, you know about that!"
Taocamdin says, "The song is absolutly amazing"
Kscleaves says, "Hey Meth, Hey Veda, and everyone else!"
Great_Spangled says, "i"
Grafyfr says, "Allo Houston, this is yves from France. Do you copy me? :-)"
Loudfan says, "Veda: have you ever heard (or heard of) Emily Bezar? She is a wonderful local (San Francisco-area) musician, and a lot of people who enjoy your work also enjoy Emily's a great deal."
Meth1120 says, "hey, Yves! I can't believe you're up at this hour!"
Taocamdin says, "Are you planning on coming to Kingston Onatrio any time??/"
Kscleaves says, "Yes, Emily Bezar is fantastic!"
Loudfan says, "(Last week, I asked Emily if she'd heard Veda Hille's music, and she said no, so I'm going to make her a little sampler tape...)"
Meth1120 nods enthusiastically at loudfan's suggestion
Vedahille says, "hello yves,hello kscleaves. thanks tao. no kingston plans soon. is that laura? and no i don't know emily bezar, unfortunatley."
Meth1120 says, "an emily bezar/veda hille double bill would be something to truly die for"
Jeff_wasilko agrees (-:
Loudfan says, "For those of you here who are Emily fans -- she did her first post-baby gig a couple weeks ago, and is tentatively planning a new album for '99...she says she's gotta get it out before the millennium"
Kscleaves says, "ooh, terrific!"
Jeff_wasilko says, "thanks for the news, sue!"
Kscleaves says, "A double bill--imagine the dueling pianos!"
Meth1120 says, "cool!!! (Veda, i can make you a sampler tape if you're interested)"
Great_Spangled says, "whew, i had that a little bit too loud..."
Taocamdin says, "No it's not laura she's a friend of mine, she may have told you about me I'm the one who is enthralled by your music, Ali"
Vedahille says, "yeah make me a tape, please. yves, are you really in france?"
Grafyfr says, "Yep I am."
Meth1120 makes note to put tape together
Vedahille says, "hi ali. say hi to laura for me."
Great_Spangled says, "vedahille, do you know anything about synaesthegia? (im obsessed with synaesthegia..."
Michaelbtt says, "red piano keys"
Meth1120 says, "what/who is/are synaesthegia?"
Michaelbtt says, "when senses get scrambled, you smell music"
Great_Spangled says, "synaesthegia is when your senses are crossed"
Vedahille says, "what is synaesthegia? i;m obsessed with trepanning."
Michaelbtt says, "I need that like a hole in the head"
Kscleaves says, "Meth--it's when senses overlap. I personally go for hearing the colors, myself."
Great_Spangled says, "TREPANNING!!! cool!!! did you read the Golden Compass/ Subtle knife?"
Taocamdin says, "Do you have concert palns for early august"
Vedahille says, "you guys need to take it easy on the koolaid"
Meth1120 says, "um, now, what's trepanning?"
Michaelbtt says, "It's like getting a tattoo on the inside of your skull"

<brief pause for Netscape crash and recovery>

Meth1120 says, "oops,netscape died on me again :P"
Grafyfr leaves.
Kscleaves says, "I was wondering about that..."
Kscleaves says, "G_S--twenty, hah!"
Taocamdin says, "I see, well i guess you won't be in my end, but just in case there's this amazing little folk festival around k-town, that I'm guessing you'd enjoy to go to or to play at, it's called Blue Skies"
Kscleaves says, "Veda--ooh, just found out I"m going to be near Michigan in September..."
Jeff_wasilko says, "veda: I was wondering if you could talk about the artwork from "Spine""
Taocamdin says, "is laura fish here by any chance"
Vedahille says, "by september i'll be back on the westcoast. the spine artwork has been freaking you americans out. scot, the artist, is a good friend and collaborator of mine. what do you want to know"
Grafyfr enters.
Jeff_wasilko likes it...
Great_Spangled says, "great piano and guitar playing, interesting artwork."
Jeff_wasilko says, "I was just curious about how you did it...."
Loudfan says, "I think it's very cool artwork!"
Michaelbtt says, "it's like ripping the label off a designer dress to sell at the discount shop"
Kscleaves says, "Definitely coo."
Taocamdin says, "me too"
Meth1120 says, "i do have to say that I can't look at the cover - never have been able to. :}"
Vedahille says, "how do you make the gesture sentences on this thing? i think of the label going on, not off."
Kscleaves says, "Well, it does look kind of painful."
Jeff_wasilko says, "type /me"
Grafyfr says, "I agree with Meth on that. It scare my 4 years old niece!"
Michaelbtt says, "it must be painful to be labeled, eh Veda?"
Great_Spangled wants a piano
Vedahille says, "i think of it more as self identified."
Horter3 enters.
Kscleaves says, "kind of fits in with the "pulse" image, labeling the spine on oneself like an anatomical diagram..."
Meth1120 tries again, thwacks michael this time
Michaelbtt says, "ouch!"
Vedahille says, "medical, dissection, internal/external"
Great_Spangled says, "*sigh* music."
Great_Spangled is listening to honey. it smells like last year
Meth1120 says, "yeah, the artwork on your web site (and i guess on that promo 7", yes?) is on that theme -- how did you decide upon that?"
Taocamdin says, "You said your first songs with ecarr's lyrics were for a play or something of that sort, waht;s happening with that?"
Vedahille says, "well, that's what i think about.(the medical deal) and scot's work is all about that too., the emily carr project premieres in vancouver this fall"
Taocamdin says, "and it is a musical?"
Michaelbtt says, "I hope they make a long-form video"
Kscleaves says, "Sorry folks, I"m being forced to go bowling. It's been fun--thanks everybody--let me know what else goes on!"
Kscleaves leaves.
Vedahille says, "bowl well k"
Meth1120 says, "i'm trying to keep a transcript, kay - if i don't keep crashing"
Michaelbtt says, "that's what I was saying Meth, this Java chat is not helping you"
Horter3 says, "I suppose it help if your mouse is working. (Apologies for being late...)"
Great_Spangled says, "i will learn how to read music and remember all of the stuff i find on pianos..."
Jeff_wasilko says, "so, what was the news about the SBT starting up again?"
Michaelbtt says, "Veda are you thinking about working with different ensembles besides your super trio?"
Michaelbtt says, "Like horn players or such"
Great_Spangled is struggling to think of questions that dont sound stupid
Vedahille says, "you can also just use a tape recorder spangled. the son of scrappy tours west coast can and usa last two weeks of sept. i'm not keen on horn players. the band is perfect right now, i guess you;ve never seen us with our genius guitar player, fo..."
Michaelbtt says, "fo...?"
KatGullo enters.
Vedahille says, "ford pier"
Great_Spangled says, "that would work, i will also learn how to be practical"
Meth1120 says, "i've heard about ford. :) will you be bringing him down this way?"
Jeff_wasilko wishes for more east-coast, non-weekday shows
Michaelbtt says, "no, only seen you solo and the trio HI KAT!!!!!!"
Meth1120 says, "hi, kat!!!"
Vedahille says, "hi kat"
KatGullo says, "Hi all, sorry I'm late. Had to walk the dogs"
Taocamdin says, "laura might have told you but ford pier was her "childhood friend'"
Great_Spangled wishes i could go to a show for my big holiday
Horter3 leaves.
Vedahille says, "does that mean they held hands and stuff?"
Michaelbtt says, "chuckle"
Great_Spangled says, "i have to mutilate more sprizthead magazines tonight for the sake of art."
Meth1120 says, "hey, at least that way they're good for something."
Great_Spangled says, "here here!:O)"
Taocamdin says, "I don't know about that, but they both grew up in edmonton and their momma's were friends...so I suppose that could include holding hands"
Michaelbtt says, "'Art is whatevery you can get away with' -- McLuhan (a great Canadian)"
Taocamdin says, "like the quote"
Michaelbtt says, "it's the first third of my sig"
Taocamdin says, "your probably ganna kick me for this but who was McLuhan"
Michaelbtt says, "'Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away' -- McLachlan (a great Canadian)"
Mysticstorm enters.
Vedahille says, "i like these weird awkward silences that happen"
Michaelbtt says, "Marshall McLuhan - Understanding Media"
Grafyfr says, "Veda, do you have any european plans (album release or concerts)?"
Great_Spangled says, "i like those rare moments of total perfection."
Michaelbtt says, "'So I blew the bouncer and we all got in free' -- McBimbo (a BTT production)"
Loudfan says, "I visited Vancouver for the first time a couple of months ago, and loved it. I was wondering if you had any recommendations of favorite clubs, restaurants etc. -- for next time."
Michaelbtt says, "Veda did you ever get a chance to listen to the BTT tape>"
Michaelbtt says, "?"
Lorishiras enters.
Michaelbtt says, "Hi Lori!"
Vedahille says, "he coined the phrase the medium is the message spine is out in europe on tradition und moderne, a german label. i'm touring germany in july. where are you in france"
Meth1120 says, "hey, lori!"
Great_Spangled says, "vancouver? cool, i wish they still recorded x files there instead of moving to dumb old hollywood."
Grafyfr says, "very north of. If I get the tour dates early I may plan a trip to see you in Germany"
Meth1120 says, "i'd love to visit vancouver someday - i've never been out west"
Lorishiras says, "hi all. hey veda, we saw you at vancouver folk fest - when ya coming to LA?"
Vedahille says, "i'm opening for holly cole, solo. the band is doing a month of touring in october/nov. we'll probably hit switzerland too"
KatGullo says, "i guess Lori could have prefaced that with, speaking dumb hollywood...." Michaelbtt says, "LA LA LA LOLlywood"
KatGullo says, "oops. that should be speaking *of*....."
Shear24 enters.
Meth1120 says, "you're opening for holly cole in germany? yow, that'd be worth a trip."
Vedahille says, "hi lori long time no scrappy bitches are coming to cali in september"
Grafyfr says, "With Holly Cole? All right, I *have* to see that!"
Lorishiras says, "when in september?"
Grafyfr says, "Meth, you know wher to stay :-)"
Taocamdin says, "holly cole is great, other that swiss where are you goin"
Great_Spangled says, "im going to have to check out the tour dates, i want to go to some concerts!"
Mysticstorm leaves.
Vedahille says, "sometime in the last two weeks. not booked yet."
Lorishiras says, "cool! we'll be back from Alaska/Seattle by then."
Jeff_wasilko says, "any chance you'll be in Boston?"
Meth1120 says, "has there been anything concretely booked for the east coast in june?"
Vedahille says, "yves, the tour dates will be on the site in a week or so. no boston dates planned, but maybe end of august with k starr"
Grafyfr says, "Cool. Thanks!"
Jeff_wasilko says, "that would be great..."
Taocamdin says, "I heard you were doing a folk festival out west this summer early July is that true"
Vedahille says, "the east coast/june is not yet booked. but my ticket is, so i am coming. i'm doing a festival in bella coola in late july, that's the only one tao."
Meth1120 says, "jeff, just drive down to nyc to see her sometime. ;)"
Michaelbtt says, "yeah Noo Yawk!"
Shear24 leaves.
Jeff_wasilko says, "yeah, I'll drive ANYWHERE (-:"
KatGullo says, "essentially, veda, we all wanted to chat with you to hound you about coming to our individual neck of the woods."
Vedahille says, "thats a big promise jeff"
Great_Spangled says, "i wish i had a car..."
Meth1120 says, "it's all just one big conspiracy."
Great_Spangled says, "i wish i could drive. *sigh*"
Taocamdin says, "i think kat your right"
Jeff_wasilko says, "heh...I have driven from Boston to Philly for a show...I think that's my record..."
Meth1120 says, "jeff will drive just about anywhere... but then again he's nuts just like we are :)
Great_Spangled says, "what kind of music do you like?"
Michaelbtt says, "Veda as long as you're in the big apple, how about a homecooked meal in Brooklyn Heights?"
Vedahille says, "this is hilarious"
KatGullo says, "other than the obvious, in what way?"
Great_Spangled says, "i wonder if im going to be in New york or new jersey (yick) or canton? hmmmmm."
KatGullo says, "Jeff, we *flew* from LA to Seattle and then drove from Seattle to Vancouver. Cross international lines even. Does that make us even crazier?"
Great_Spangled says, "??? i missed something..."
Meth1120 says, "see, veda, i'm not the only loon in the room. :)"
Jeff_wasilko says, "yup, although not as crazy as Yves who flew from France to see 2 shows on the east coast (-:"
Taocamdin says, "talk about dedication or ...obbsession kat and jeff or all of us"
Grafyfr leaves.
Vedahille says, "hilarious new conversational skills. spangled, i'm listening to oval, palace, pest 5000, a great mix tape of late 70s stuff (wire, buzzcocks, costello, jam) and some demos i'm working on. yves flew to the usa?"
Jeff_wasilko says, "yup, he was here about a month ago"
Grafyfr enters.
Grafyfr says, "Damn this crashing Netscape thing!"
Great_Spangled says, "cool, ive never heard of any of that, but it's cool none the less."
Meth1120 says, "we took him cd shopping on st mark's place and brought him to two shows."
Vedahille says, "well i hope they were good shows."
Meth1120 says, "hey, so i'm not the only one with netscape issues!"
Grafyfr says, "That was great!"
Meth1120 says, "were they good shows, yves? ;>"
Angelic_Conflict enters.

<another brief pause for Netscape crash and recovery>

Jeff_wasilko says, "not a good nite for netscape users..."
Grafyfr says, "It's a pity you weren't playing when I was there"
Meth1120 wants to kipp her computer
Grafyfr says, "Never a good night for Netscape users :-)"
Angelic_Conflict leaves, heading for a private room.
Meth1120 says, "erm, kill :}"
Great_Spangled has a strange mind and is proud of it
Vedahille says, "hey yves, i just realized its 5 am where you are. is the sun up?"
Taocamdin says, "i'm suprised my compu hasn;t kicked me off yet"
Grafyfr says, "Not yet. It's completly dark"
Meth1120 says, "it's only a matter of time, tao. :/"
Grafyfr says, "I will let you know when the sun raises"
Grafyfr says, "rises even"
Michaelbtt says, "'The darkest hour is just before the dawn'"
Meth1120 says, "too bad we don't have anyone from australia on the line..."
Jeff_wasilko says, "the sun never sets on trajectory (-:"
Vedahille says, "spine comes out in oz in june"
Grafyfr laughs hysterically.
Great_Spangled says, "i was up until five am, a friend of mine and i were recording our voices"
KatGullo says, "why, meth? just so they can taunt us with what the future holds in tomorrowland? jk"
Meth1120 says, "or, alternately, never rises."
Vedahille says, "i think yves is a little punch drunk"
Taocamdin says, "I ussually get bumped for an illegal action, and the i'm annoyed to try to get on again, but i guess it's good i won't get hooked"
Grafyfr says, "Let's just say I am not familiar with this chat program. I only wanted to laugh at Jeff's remark."
Meth1120 says, "what label is spine going to be on in australia?"
Loudfan says, "I need to take off -- I'm on my way to see Elliott Smith perform tonight. Veda, THANKS for doing this, and Meth, THANKS for organizing it! Veda, I LOVE your CDs, listen to them all the time. Can't wait to see you here in CA. Bye all!"
Lorishiras says, "so veda, about september... are the bitches on the move again? what do you have planned?"
Meth1120 says, "bye, sue! glad you could stop by!"
Taocamdin says, "have fun Loud"
Loudfan leaves.
Great_Spangled says, "i will get more of your cds when i get some more $$$$$"
Great_Spangled says, "Spine is really cool, i love it."
Vedahille says, "see ya loudfan. spine is on shock in oz. the bitches are in preparatory state lori, still planning. thanks spangled."
Michaelbtt says, "SBT is you and Kinnie and who else?"
Michaelbtt says, "Susanna again?"
Vedahille says, "yeah, me and kinnie and oh susie."
Michaelbtt says, "That final song with all the bitch quotes was hysterical"
Great_Spangled says, "YES! THAT REALLY COOL MILES DAVIS SONG! WOO HOO!"
Michaelbtt says, "I wish I had a boot of that"
KatGullo says, "so, veda, how did lilith go about selecting you? are you excited to play at lilith?"
Vedahille says, "oh, and michael, i never answered your dinner offer, sorry. my time is kind of spoken for unfortunately. but thanks. i'm not playing lilith kat."
Great_Spangled says, "how milk and honey, youre music is pure melted and poured gold"
Meth1120 says, "i thought you were going to be at the vancouver lilith? was that a false rumor perpetrated by the press, then?"
KatGullo says, "henh. I blame Lori.. she heard that you were playing in vancouver. ah.. misinformation...."
Vedahille says, "they listed me by mistake. i turned down the offer."
Taocamdin says, "why did you turn down the offer"
Great_Spangled is shooting the computer for not letting save those mpegs!
Lorishiras says, "ah then we won't feel bad about avoiding another flight and missin git."
Vedahille says, "because they offered me a short set on the smallest stage in a city where i already have a good audience."
Meth1120 says, "i'd been wondering about that, actually. seemed rather weird."
Michaelbtt says, "No respect at all..."
KatGullo says, "ah yes... the village stage, nothing larger than a 4 top table."
Vedahille says, "well, i can't say i was dying to play the thing. not really my scene."
Meth1120 says, "it's kind of ironic - the first time i heard your name mentioned was by one of sarah mclachlan's band members..."
Jeff_wasilko says, "Veda: you were mentioned during the Lilith press conference a while ago..."
Vedahille says, "which band member? luke?"
Jeff_wasilko went to the SFO Lilith last year, but was overwhelmed by the crowds
Michaelbtt says, "Don't you think it's kind of coincidental that Sarah wins a Grammy for a song with piano, bass, and saw...htmmm?"
Meth1120 says, "yep, luke. we asked him if he knew what stephen nikleva was up to and he told us about path of a body, which hadn't been released yet"
Vedahille says, "michael, don't get me paranoid"
Great_Spangled wishes i could play a saw
KatGullo says, "Jeff, we went to LA Lilith and it was an entirely disappointing and annoying experience. I only wish we had been able to see Kinnie who was playing on the cardtable stage."
Michaelbtt says, "sorry, just a theory"
Meth1120 says, "that silly instrumental thingie has a saw???"
Vedahille says, "has anyone actually heard the 7 inch yet?"
Taocamdin says, "Good for you, when i went to lilith last year it rained on me for about 3 hours...It kinda seemed strange to me that a women wanting equal rights for male/female music would create a female music only concert...although i know her intentions are all good"
Jeff_wasilko hasn't
Michaelbtt played a musical saw in 1969
Great_Spangled is really young.
Meth1120 says, "kay managed to score a copy of it ... i've been bugging my local record shops, but no luck :("
Mumra77 enters.
Vedahille says, "it won't be in record shops, its for promo only at this point. i was amazed that kay found it already"
Mumra77 leaves, heading for Music: Rap and R&B.
Michaelbtt says, "can we get it mail order?"
Meth1120 says, "yeah, i guess it's cool for kay but not for you."
Vedahille says, "there really aren't any left. i'm hoping that bottom line will make more to sell, i'm really proud of it."
Meth1120 says, "maybe you could do a contest or something and send it out as a prize. :)"
Vedahille says, "a contest to the best chatroom organizer?"
Michaelbtt says, "Meth wins!"
Lorishiras says, "ha! meth easily wins....."
Meth1120 likes that idea ;)
Meth1120 says, "i'm sure they'd sell, though, especially because of what's on them."
Michaelbtt says, "Meth makes copies of her not-yet-won prize for her friends"
Vedahille says, "we'll see what we can do. i feel this great sense of loss whenever anyone leaves to go to rap and r and b"
Meth1120 says, "...but not without permission, of course :)"
Jeff_wasilko laughs
Great_Spangled says, "/me is going to down load some more soundfiles"
Taocamdin says, "is it ever"
Grafyfr says, "The sun is rising. Do I get a price for seeing it first? :-)"
Vedahille says, "i'm going to run out of prizes here."
Michaelbtt says, "one sol"
Grafyfr says, "prize even."
Grafyfr is going to make some coffee
Meth1120 says, "yes -- congratulations, yves, you've made it to a new day. :)"
Michaelbtt says, "Veda, having an hour to chat with you is a great prize for all of us"
Vedahille says, "thanks michael, i'm going to get all weepy now"
Great_Spangled says, "this has been cool:):O)"
Jeff_wasilko suggests a prize for best list-hosting service (-:
Meth1120 says, "yes, smoe rules!"
Grafyfr laughs at Jeff's remark
Vedahille says, "you lose me with the computalk"
Michaelbtt says, "You go, smoe!"
Grafyfr says, "Meth, is that an anagram?"
Taocamdin says, "Veda i believe sleep is calling me, i'd just like to say thankyou so much for your time, it's been amazing, and from the first moment I heard your music i fell in live with it!!!:)"
KatGullo says, "if someone comes up with a good anagram, do they get a prize too?"
Meth1120 says, "jeff is the master of smoe.org, which is where the trajectory list lives (along with many other lists and web sites)"
Michaelbtt says, "sweetest memories on earth"
Vedahille says, "thanks so much tao. sleep well"
Grafyfr says, "smoe is one of the best resource on the internet"
KatGullo says, "Michael, anagram not an acronym!"
Great_Spangled says, "first song i heard by you-Song for Snake, loved the guitar work and singing, that rocked."
Grafyfr says, "sorry Jeff, THE best resource"
Meth1120 says, "i don't know what it could be an anagram of..."
Taocamdin leaves.
Vedahille says, "laughing/me"
Vedahille says, "ok i still don't understand the gesture thing"
Grafyfr is playing _Spine_ for the fourth time this evening
Vedahille says, "thanks spangled, i like snake too"
Jeff_wasilko says, "veda: just start typiing with "/me", such as /me scratches my head"
Michaelbtt says, "You put that in your mouth and its over!"
KatGullo says, "neither do lori and I (wer'e sitting here together, alternating between browsers)"
KatGullo says, "Jeff, wo do you get the cool purple font, right?"
Michaelbtt says, "That's poetic, giving Veda INSTRUCTIONS"
Vedahille veda has lost her roller mouse
Great_Spangled says, "and bellyfish, and 26 years, i will not go on."
Great_Spangled says, "whats bellyfish about?"
Meth1120 says, "i've just been in a discussion with someone about what 'song for snake' is about - we're totally clueless"
Great_Spangled says, "Say NO to bug-eyed alien movies, unless its X-files. (that;s not a plug, although gillian anderson rules)"
Vedahille says, "snake is about self disgust and unbreakable attachment to painful things"
KatGullo nods wisely now... many thanks.
Vedahille says, "how do you relocate a mouse arrow thingy when its off screen????"
Jeff_wasilko is unable to help...
Michaelbtt says, "those roller mice are tough little bastards"
Great_Spangled says, "relocate a moust thing???"
KatGullo says, "are you on a mac or a pc? If on a PC hit f10"
Grafyfr says, "when did you write 26 years? at 26 or is it a memory of a past thing?"
Meth1120 says, "usually moving the mouse back toward you works... unless it's somehow gotten disconnected?"
Great_Spangled says, "ive ran out of music!!! AUGH!!!!!"
Vedahille says, "f10? didnt work"
Meth1120 says, "both of the cd players in this room are on the fritz... i haven't been listening to anything for a while now :("
Michaelbtt says, "the F10 function key?"
Great_Spangled says, "WHAT DO you mean offscreen?"
Meth1120 turns on the radio
KatGullo says, "hmmmm... then back to meth's suggestion. Check to make sure it is still plugged in. If so, drag the mouse towards you."
Michaelbtt says, "on the top row of the keyboard?"
Michaelbtt says, "isn't this the builtin mouse in the laptop, or an external one plugged in?"
Grafyfr says, "This discussion is getting surreal! :)"
Great_Spangled goes to the veda hille homepage
Michaelbtt says, "computers can get surreal very easily"
Great_Spangled says, "i love surrealism, its fun"
Meth1120 says, "anyone ever checked out the surrealist compliment generator?"
Grafyfr says, "Meth, yep. I loved it!"
KatGullo says, "I meant check to see if the mouse is plugged in, not the F10 key, by the way"
Meth1120 says, "my favorite thing it ever spouted at me so far is, "marmots will stick to you in delaware.""
Vedahille leaves.
Lorishiras says, "doh!"
Michaelbtt says, "Your beautiful Bulgarian bricks stack like the thousand eyes of Estonian potatoes, peering among fuzzy dreams of corrugated cardboard"
Meth1120 says, "oops!"
Grafyfr says, "point even (definitely need some sleep)"
Great_Spangled says, "now i am sad."
Michaelbtt says, "Your fingers are as divine as the pope's nostril hair"
Great_Spangled is listening to pause
Grafyfr says, "too surreal for her perhaps"
Meth1120 is giving veda tech support, she'll hopefully be back in a sec :)
Great_Spangled says, "*sniffle*"
Grafyfr says, "Meth, you sound like TV :)"
Michaelbtt says, "Ceci n'est pas un compliment."
Lorishiras says, "we're signing me off, but i'm still hanging around lurking over kat's shoulder"
Lorishiras says, "bye!"
Ravens_pain enters.
Lorishiras leaves.
Great_Spangled says, "i love french, i just don;t speak it"
Michaelbtt says, "Hey Kat and Lori good being in the same room witcha!"
Meth1120 says, "veda should be back in a minute - when in doubt, reboot :)"
KatGullo says, "good being in the same room with you, michael."
Grafyfr says, "now you sound like Microsoft"
Michaelbtt says, "It's impressive that she stayed over an hour"
KatGullo says, "ack!"
Ravens_pain leaves, heading for a private room.
Great_Spangled says, "i must find some MOZART mpegs."
Grafyfr ducks to avoid projectiles :)
Grafyfr says, "You mean with pictures. That must ne hard to find even on the internet"
Meth1120 says, "no, if i sounded like microsoft i'd be telling her sorry, can't help you, that'll be $80. :)"
KatGullo says, "Surprsingly neither lori nor I had problems. We haven't been bounced yet, knock on silicon."
Michaelbtt says, "I saw Ani in Albany in April, and Jonatha Brooke recently - she's fantastic"
Grafyfr says, "Meth, You are just waiting for then end aren't you? :-)"
Great_Spangled says, "OOOOOO i love ani and jonatha brooke, i would love to see both of them in concert"
Meth1120 says, "i saw ani in new haven, she was great but i wanted to drop-kick everyone else in the theater :P"
KatGullo says, "Yeah? I'm getting over ani, though I still love her old puddle-dive stuff. Though we are going to Colorado to see her."
Grafyfr says, "Saw Ani only once. Amazing!"
KatGullo says, "BUT we have been doing the Melissa Ferrick thing which is always good fun"
Vedahille enters.
Meth1120 is happy to be hearing richard shindell on the radio
Michaelbtt says, "Hail the conquering Hille!"
Vedahille says, "ok i'm back"
Meth1120 says, "welcome back! :)"
KatGullo says, "yeah"
Great_Spangled says, "Hello again!"
Vedahille says, "so what did i miss"
Michaelbtt says, "we were dissing Ani"
Michaelbtt says, ";-)"
Great_Spangled is listening to exit.
KatGullo says, "did you mean dissing or discussing?"
Vedahille says, "tsk tsk, and her getting married and all. be good"
Meth1120 says, "we were talking about ani difranco, jonatha brooke, and melissa ferrick"
KatGullo says, "or even disecting?"
Michaelbtt says, "what!!?"
Meth1120 says, "i was dissing ani fans..."
Michaelbtt says, "to Andrew?"
Great_Spangled mumbles something under her breath.
Great_Spangled says, "she got married? rats."
Vedahille says, "yeah, sometime this month"
Michaelbtt says, "far out"
Meth1120 says, "is she really marrying goatboy?"
Great_Spangled says, "wow."
KatGullo says, "henh. ick. whatever. not that we are surprised? children next perhaps?"
Michaelbtt says, "a positive flurry! Sarah, Tara, Tori"
Meth1120 says, "wow. that's cool!"
Vedahille says, "veda hille, gossip monger."
KatGullo says, "Marriage is the hip new accessory."
Great_Spangled says, "this song is making me feel a little weepy which is rare for me"
Michaelbtt says, "LOL"
Grafyfr says, "Kat, can I keep that for my .sig? :)"
Vedahille says, "i think marriage has actually been around a while."
KatGullo says, "Oh absolutely."
Jeff_wasilko says, "Tara got married? Hmm."
Michaelbtt says, "To Bill Bell, her guitaris"
Meth1120 says, "i bet ani would have some really wonderfully whacked kids."
Jeff_wasilko says, "ahh. wonderful!"
Great_Spangled says, "who is tara?"
KatGullo says, "Tara McLean?"
Michaelbtt says, "Veda played on her CD"
Michaelbtt says, "Maclean"
Great_Spangled says, "ahhhh."
Jeff_wasilko thinks Sarah's music has taken a turn for the worse since her marriage...
Vedahille says, "yeah, tara is a good friend."
Meth1120 says, "but tori amos' didn't!"
KatGullo scrathing her head, mumbling, "Ya think?"
Meth1120 says, "i saw tara maclean open for ashley macisaac last year -- great show."
Great_Spangled disagrees, but oh well, you sing better when youre unhappy anyways
Michaelbtt says, "It's not the marriage - Sarah had major writers block and she needed product for Lilith"
Michaelbtt says, "Jeff and I were at that show too"
Great_Spangled says, "minor keys are cooler than majors. i must go and talk to some pianos tonight."
Vedahille says, "ok you dirt dishers. i'm getting computer hazehead. any other burning issues to discuss?"
Great_Spangled is listening to tori amos mpegs and is going to go deaf
Michaelbtt says, "Have fun at your party tomorrow night!"
Great_Spangled says, "politics, the fact that it sucks, gillian andersons hair, the song Bellyfish"
KatGullo says, "hhmmmm.... other than major world events? prolly not..."
Great_Spangled says, "really louf music!"
Jeff_wasilko says, "do you need us to start any career-enhancing rumours on your behalf? (-:"
Vedahille says, "thanks. i'm making the prizes tonight."
Great_Spangled says, "this song smells like the golden compass! a really cool book! (that wasnt a plug)"
Meth1120 says, "prizes?"
Vedahille says, "feel free with rumours, i get tired of the same old interview questions."
Meth1120 says, "any questions for us?"
Michaelbtt says, "Veda is it true you are putting out a Theremin CD called "Look Ma No Hands"?"
Vedahille veda is thinking
Vedahille says, "michael, thats enough . no questions springing to mind, but don't think that means i don't like you"
Great_Spangled says, "and they put ozone in spring water why?"
Meth1120 says, "we wouldn't dream of it. :)"
Michaelbtt says, "ROTFL G_S"
Great_Spangled says, "i love being laughed at, really:)"
Vedahille says, "thanks for initiating me into cyber world everyone. lets do it again some time. don't know about the water spangled."
KatGullo says, "bye Veda, and the rest of you all. Dinner time on our coast."
Meth1120 says, "veda, thanks so much for taking the time - this was a great idea. :)"
Michaelbtt says, "bye kiddies! :-)"
Great_Spangled says, "this was fun!"
Jeff_wasilko says, "thanks for doing this, Veda..."
KatGullo says, "OH! Meredith, thanks so much for organizing this...."
Meth1120 says, "(for this chat thingy really was veda's idea)"
Great_Spangled says, "yikes! chinese opera! cool, sort of."
Grafyfr says, "yes; this was great. Thansk you Meth and of course thank you Veda! Looking forward to see you in july"
Meth1120 says, "thanks to everyone for coming!"
Vedahille says, "i thought it was your idea meth. thanks for everything you crazy people.see you in a smoky club somewhere."
Great_Spangled says, "milk and kisses"
Michaelbtt says, "Oh, and Sarah on popup video tonight at 1:30"
Vedahille says, "ciao bellas"
Great_Spangled says, "really? oh purr!"
Michaelbtt says, "ciao"
Grafyfr says, "Bye Veda"
Meth1120 says, "well, i guess the specific forum was my idea, but you're the one who wanted to interact with folks somehow. :)"
Meth1120 says, "in any event, hope it was fun."
Michaelbtt says, "dirty dirty dirty dirty"
KatGullo says, "is this like middle school where you don't want to be the first to hang up?"
Grafyfr laughs
Great_Spangled says, "love the lyrics to 26"
Michaelbtt says, "LOL"
Meth1120 says, "have a good evening, everyone! (or, in Yves' case, a good morning :)"
Great_Spangled says, "good night and good morning, get some sleep!"
Grafyfr says, "I am just going to work after hanging up"
Grafyfr says, "That's why I don'yt want to leave"
Vedahille leaves.
