I've never heard Happy or Veda on the radio here. But Veda has toured Europe (several times, I think), which is probably the reason for her (albeit small) popularity here.

Apart from the album and single versions of I Surrender it contains four unreleased tracks with Ingrid Chavez. They have been intended for her solo album that never has been released (that's what I read). The tracks are very beautiful and would have perfectly fit onto Dead Bees... They are written by David Sylvian. The tracks are: Les Fleures Du Mal (6:51) Starred and Dreaming (2:01) Whose Trip Is This?

No, but I can vaguely remember sitting in a "smoke" filled basement listening to 'Doremi Faso Latedo' back in High School. And being somewhat amazed when I realized my buddies hadn't figured out the name :) But then again they were also listening to "Black Sabbath" while I was into John McLaughlin at one end of my musical spectrum and Gary Burton's groups at the other. I still can vividly remember those old JBL 100's with those weird looking orange foam grill covers.

Hey everyone on Ecto, Just so you can be sure not to miss Kate, VH-1 posts their daily schedule every day on their web sit at VH-1.com. Kate appears on hour three (numbers 60 through 41) on the 100 Greatest Women of Rock. I don't know why I'm so worried someone would miss it--it's really not too big a deal, but they do show clips from some of her videos and they even have a clip of Kate talking about her music. Upon seeing Kate actually talking about her music, I decided to forgive her for "The Red Shoes" and now I'm actually finding it quite enjoyable after six years of not being too thrilled with it. Maybe some of you will, too. Josh _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Tracks that I came to be thrilled with on "Warpaint" are "Terra Incognita", "Mia Ia Io", "Murder", and of course, like you said, "Warpaint" the song itself! FYI, the song "Collective Heart" (which is amazing) is from Happy's "Building the Colossus" CD. You can order this and most of Happy's other stuff from Samson Music's website. Just go to a server like Yahoo or something and type in "Samson Records" or "Samson Music" in the search field and you should have no trouble finding it. Then, proceed to Samson's online store.

The question is this: Which album is better, "Equipoise" or "Building the Colossus"? List three reasons why. Here's my answer: "Building the Colossus" Here are my three reasons: 1. It is a lighter album. You don't have to get so involved with it. 2. Happy reveals more of her sense of humor on this album in songs like "Dying" and "If I Ever See the Girl Again". 3. I bought it in the winter and I always enjoy music more in the winter. I bought "Equipoise" this summer. So, there you have it, folks. It will be fun to read some of the other survey results.

Wheeler has one of the best saenses of wry humor of any singer songwriter I have heard. No one else in my experience has been quite so successful in cramming songs and banter about cats, the news, potatoes (to the tuine of the Mexican Hat Dance), outhouses and much more into a single show. Adler, and up and coming local singer-songwriter, delivered a superb acoustic set. Both their CD's are well worth it.

I saw her in chicago outdoors and she was oh so awesome. I got Sloan W.'s two albums and am really getting into her as well. She sounds at times like October Project (slightly more barebones), Suddenly Tammy!, others I can't put my finger on. Is that a grateful dead song she covers (box of rain)? My very fave so far of her songs is far and away Guide, which I cannot get out of my mind. Now I'll have to start checking out Rachel Sage (is that her name?). Does Mila have more than the 2 albums I already own (Illinois and Gathering My Name, or something like that)? What would really top this out for me is if Grey Eye Glances were added to the roster, but now I'm being greedy and greed is bad.

Agreed. We saw her on the mainstage and in a few workshops at Falcon Ridge this weekend, and she was every bit as hilarious as ever. I don't own any of her albums, nor do I plan to (unless she puts out a live album) -- for me her songs are far secondary to what goes on in between them on stage. (Did she do the Handy House song? When she said she'd written one that was even more ridiculous than the Potato Song, I couldn't believe it ... until I heard it.

Missed the first hour, saw 60-20, then got too sleepy so I missed the last 20. Thought VH1 would have the full list on their web site, but they don't. Does anyone know where Annie Lennox was placed? Paula Cole? I'm not going to complain too much about their ranking....I'm glad they ranked KaTe before Tori, and was pleasantly surprised to see Rickie Lee Jones at #30, with big divas like Whitney Houston and Gloria Estefan in the '70s and '80s. So it wasn't completely sales driven. I guess this whole ranking was developed after surveying all these women themselves, and who they thought were important. I enjoyed some of the commentary from the other artists, alhtough I could've done without Gwen Stefani and Shirley what's-her-name from Garbage. A lot of it was just, "she has this tremendous voice." Well, duh! I quite enjoyed David Bowie's enthusiastic commentaries. What VH1 does have on their site is an assortment of recommended albums by some of the artists on this list. Some of the descriptions for these albums had me in stitches, so I cut and pasted to share: >>Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love" One of the most important albums of the '80s, Kate Bush's finest British hits like "Running Up That Hill" are on the first side, while the second is one of the scariest concept pieces ever recorded - about a woman slowly dying under ice. Bush's matchless voice made it sound brittle, heartfelt and as one song put it "Cloudbusting".<< I agree, "The Ninth Wave" is scary. But it's not really *just* about dying under ice, is it? I get so annoyed when critics sum up a concept album into one short sentence. >>Sarah McLachlan's "Surfacing" The album that ate America's coffee tables, this calculated attempt at reintroducing an impressionable audience to what might happen if you learn songwriting from the Play David Crosby in a Day songbook is one of the most terrifying records ever made.>> HUH?! >>Sarah Vaughan When a voice takes flight, even if it's Mister Mister signing "Kyrie," then they're paying a debt to Miss Sarah Vaughan, the empress dowager of scat.>> Is VH1 high?!

Being a sucker for anything that reminds me of the 80s, I bought the album _Breathing Tornados_. I like it a lot. It's a nice blend of acoustic sounds and keyboards. I've never seen him live, so I can't really comment on that. But I don't hear much Dylan in the album. Of course, that's a good thing for me since I have never been able to appreciate Bob Dylan. Anyway, the album is worth checking out.

"Christine Lavin Could Do It"? That'd be a cool ending to a side. :) Vance Gilbert has another song he wrote about Ellis Paul, what is it, "Taking It All To Tennessee"? Great song. (Vance is right -- friends should write love songs to friends more often.) There's also some prog-rock band that did a song about Kate Bush, but I'm blanking on the name of both the band and the song, so that's not going to help you at all. :} And if you come to ectofest, you can hear the world premiere of The Ectoplasms' soon-to-be-worldwide-hit, "I Want To Be Rachael Sage"! ;> (Ask Chuck for the details, since I haven't quite dared...) +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | ectofest '99: sat. sept. 4, 1999 kenosia park, danbury, ct | | http://www.ectofest.org | +==========================================================================+ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 22:27:55 -0400 From: Paul Kim Subject: Re: phil collins cover?

It's on her live EP which came out earlier this year on Universal Records. She's been doing that as a cover for quite a while in her concerts...

I'm pleased to say that I have a new CD out via mp3.com's DAM label. It's the score from my 1992 theatre piece, "Shekhinah: The Presence". It's rather different from other stuff of mine that you might have heard -- for one thing, it's mostly other people's voices. Some is ambient, some sounds a bit industrial, and some is gently melodic. You can listen to all the tracks in RealAudio format (and, if you're so moved, buy the CD for $5.99) at http://ecom.mp3.com/cgi-bin/order.cgi?cd_id=13939&srclk=ld Complete liner notes (both in HTML and in PDF format, as a page that folds into the packaging) are available at http://silence.metatronpress.com/artists/zitt/sh.html Enjoy! - -- | jzitt@metatronpress.com http://www.metatronpress.com/jzitt | | Latest CD: Shekhinah: The Presence http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt | | Comma: Voices of New Music Silence: the John Cage Discussion List | ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 14:21:28 +1000 From: Andrew Fries Subject: Re: Blatant Self Promotion: My New CD, "Shekhinah: The Presence" On Fri, 30 Jul 1999, Joseph Zitt wrote: >It's rather different from other stuff of mine that you might have >heard -- for one thing, it's mostly other people's voices.

I haven't heard this new one yet, but I just thought this is as good time as any to mention how much fun I'm having with Joseph's previous, "gentle entropy". Well, perhaps "fun" might not be the right word - what I meant is I enjoy it a lot. It's very different from my usual fare, yet nothing is totally unique - it took me a while to make this connection, but "gentle entropy" reminds me of a choir of Tibetan monks I once heard... - ------------------------------------------------------ 62,400 repetitions make one truth. - Aldous Huxley - ------ http://www.zip.com.au/~afries/hall.html ------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 00:24:31 -0400 From: neal copperman Subject: Re: songwriters writing about songwriters At 11:16 PM -0400 7/30/99, Joseph Zitt wrote: >On Fri, Jul 30, 1999 at 07:35:57PM -0400, Ofer Inbar wrote: >> I've had this thought floating in my head for a while to make a tape >> of songs that songwriters have written about other songwriters. >> Things like Dar Williams' "You're Aging Well" and Vance Gilbert's >> "When Jimmy Falls in Love" and Jim Infantino's "When The Great Man >> Falls".

Besides the Shawn Colvin one, Betty gives a nod to Jane on their first album (Hello Betty!) on the track DC Dog.
