8181. anomie - 4/7/2006 6:34:29 PM Anyone know of Ottmar Liebert...a sort of new-agy flamenco guitarist? His first cd was very good if you like guitar music. I'm watching a concert video of his I got from Netflix right now. Good way to sample his style for very little cost. 8182. Ms. No - 4/7/2006 8:34:59 PM Anomie,
Ah, yes, Cornflake Girl is off of her second album - Under the Pink. I like that particular song mainly because the piano sends me into raptures --- also because it's available to sing at my regular hangout on their karaoke night and nobody but me ever even tries any of her stuff. I get a kick out of it because she's one of the few contemporary sopranos whose songs I can sing.
I'm glad you enjoyed When the Pawn. My current fave off that one is Paper Bag but I really like Fast As You Can and I Will, as well. Apple's first album, Tidal, is less electronic, more just her and the piano in a torchy, jazz-club singer kind of mode and the Nina Simone influence is very apparent. I'll have to go back and listen to some of my Tom Waits and then Apple again because I wouldn't have thought of them together if you hadn't mentioned it.
It's always a good time to give Tom Waits another spin! 8183. anomie - 4/7/2006 8:42:13 PM I heard Tom Waits a lot. If I had to analize it, I'd say it was the chord changes and choice of chords and the almost dissonant instrumentation, like a trumpet that just barely stays within the chord structure and maybe shimmies beyond it.
I'd like to hear you sing. I'll check out the song again. Maybe it'll grow on me. maybe that's why I remembered it. 8184. uzmakk - 4/15/2006 3:03:19 PM Was the discussion of 3 Penny Opera back thread inspired by the new production which is opening at Studio 54 in NYC next week? I just heard about it on NPR. It was a good interview, but I didn't learn anything that I hadn't already learned from Ms.No. I might go. 8185. Adam Selene - 4/15/2006 3:32:33 PM I'm a huge fan of Nellie McKay and I'm going this summer just to see/hear her in 3p opera. I saw her in concert at the Birchmere i January and she just blew me away. No tickets yet... still planning the date.
What was the gist of the NPR review? 8186. uzmakk - 4/16/2006 12:37:07 PM It hasn't yet opened so it wasn't a review, more of a discussion of what 3POpera is and what they intend this production to be. For instance, if some versions have been cleaned up to make them more palatable, they have pumped the original slime back into this one and added ingredients made available only through modern chemistry, in order to shock modern audiences, which was Brecht's original intention. 8187. uzmakk - 4/25/2006 3:06:14 PM Did 3POpera open yet? Has anyone read any reviews? 8188. Ms. No - 4/25/2006 11:03:29 PM Oooh! It sounds awesome. I wish I was going to be able to see that production. 8189. Adam Selene - 5/8/2006 3:08:02 AM Well - I just bought my tickets to 3p opera. $90 each, for 5th row balcony. (whew..add that to Amtrak and it's getting pricy!!)
You can find review summaries and links from the Nellie fan site. 8190. wabbit - 5/10/2006 5:24:26 PM YouTube has got some fun videos:
Evolution of Dance
It runs six minutes and is work safe, if you aren't eating or drinking anything. 8191. anomie - 5/10/2006 11:46:41 PM Very cool, Wabbit. There's another one with robot dancing that's hilarious. It's only a minute or so long. I'll try to dig it up. 8192. anomie - 5/11/2006 12:22:10 AM Fabchannel.com
Here's an interesting web site to check out for free concert videos and music. The sound seems pretty good but I'm on a cheap laptop.
The Amsterdam music website Fabchannel.com has received the Webby Award in the category music.
Webby Awards are for websites what Oscars are for movies. Fabchannel broadcasts pop concerts which were given in the Amsterdam theatres Paradiso and the Melkweg on the internet.
According to the manager of Fabchannel, Mr Justin Kniest, it is the biggest concert archive on the internet.
8193. anomie - 5/11/2006 12:24:14 AM Last three paragraphs above should be in quotes...from the A-dam news site. 8194. Ulgine Barrows - 5/13/2006 4:32:01 AM meh 8195. DanDillon - 5/15/2006 8:23:06 PM Yet another fine reason for this forum's name... from Wiktionary
mote (verb)
1. to embarass or patronize either with or without malice, especially in a case of situational irony; short for demote;
"And as Elizabeth tripped Frank — causing him to drop his soda — Andrew, who was looking on happily, shouted, 'Moted!'" 8196. wonkers2 - 5/15/2006 11:42:53 PM Welcome back, Mr. Dillon. Long time no see. 8197. wonkers2 - 5/15/2006 11:43:07 PM Stick around! 8198. arkymalarky - 5/16/2006 2:22:47 AM I second Wonk! How are the children doing? 8199. DanDillon - 5/17/2006 9:45:47 PM We're all well. Thanks for asking. How's life in your neck o' the woods? 8200. arkymalarky - 5/17/2006 11:01:25 PM Very good. School's out in two weeks and the kid's home cleaning my house (remuneration is generous--a tank of gas).
