Spiral Tribe is a loose organisation of mainly traveller/raver/newage
people who organise outdoor raves and gatherings all over the
country.  They've had quite a bit of press recently over the cat and
mouse game they've been playing with the police in organising raves
and festivals in secret locations.  The Castlemorton Free Festival was
a victory of sorts for them in that a large number of people attended
and the whole thing caught the local police unawares.  They've also
been involved (as far as I know) in attempting to organise a Summer 
Solstice festival near Stonehenge but this was stopped by a huge
police presence.  I've no idea what the charges are against them or 
why Kate would want to get involved.  Presumably its a freedom of
movement issue.

Newsgroups: rec.music.gaffa
Robert Burbank asks about Happy. Has anyone here ever heard of Happy?
Do we know Happy? Oh my goodness....I'm savoring this like you wouldn't
believe!!!! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...we have heard of Happy.

She's a 26 year old singer/songwriter/musician/producer from Albany, NY.
She has 5 albums out and is currently working on her 6th. She's never had
a recording contract and is the definition of "independent artist."

The song you heard was called "Words Weren't Made For Cowards" and I'm 
pleased and amazed you just heard her out of the blue and then came here
to ask about her. Believe me, you couldn't have come to a better place.

There is a Happy Rhodes mailing list called ecto and any additional
questions you have can go there. To subscribe, write to Jessica at:

ecto-request@ns1.rutgers.edu        to post:  ecto@ns1.rutgers.edu

There's a very long FAQ which will get you pretty familiar with Happy and
Ecto, plus tell you about all the projects going on, if you're interested.

If you don't want to join Ecto, a quick rundown of her discography is:
1) Rhodes I (1986)
2) Rhodes II (1986)
3) Rearmament (1986) 
4) Ecto (1987)
5) Warpaint (1991)

Her 5th will(should) be out at the beginning of next year, at which point
she'll tour. (oops, make that her *6th* album...I have no editor on this
account.) She only played 2 shows in support of Warpaint, because she
couldn't afford to undertake a full tour. She played Albany, NY and
Philadelphia, PA. Both concerts were excellent!

She doesn't have any videos yet (remember, everything comes out of her
and her SO Kevin's pocket) but probably will for the next album.

All 5 albums are on CD and they can be bought from:

Aural Gratification
P.O. Box 8658
Academy Station
Albany, NY  12208

They're $13.99 each. P&H for one CD is $2.00 and 35 cents for each 
additional CD. If you like Warpaint (and please let us know what you think
after you hear the whole thing) then I would highly recommend her other
albums too. You can hear the progression that led to Warpaint. I love them
all, and I find it impossible to be objective. :-)

Any other questions? Just ask me or on Ecto.

Vickie Mapes (check out the credits...it's one of my proudest moments)

ps, if you're curious, she was born Kimberly Tyler Rhodes. Her brother
started calling her "happy baby" because he couldn't pronounce Kimberly.
It became her permanent nickname.

pps, She's a big Kate fan and the song "Feed the Fire" on Warpaint is a
tribute to all the artists who have inspired her, including Kate, Peter       
Gabriel, Bach, Queen, David Bowie, Yes, Wendy Carlos and others.

so, have y'all heard "papua new guinea" by the future sound of london?  now
*that's* what i call music.  for some weird reason, it's turned up on the
_cool world_ soundtrack, but i liked it for *months* prior to that event, so

The rec.music.gaffa gateway is operational again.  It was down because of
a software problem at UUNET that I didn't have the ability to fix.  New
software has been installed here, and things should be working fine once
again.

I'm also starting to move the archives to ftp.uu.net.  As I do so they
will become available in the directory /usenet/rec.music.gaffa.  Contents

We just got back from SIGGRAPH and found a message on the answering
machine from Dave Cross from Homeground. He felt badly that he had 
forgotten to call last year after he said he would, but forgot. In his
own words...

"We saw Dr. Bush on Tuesday. There is no real news unfortunately, the
album is almost finished but Kate is still actually working on it. She
is recording at the moment, she's been doing all sorts of things with
the album. As time goes on it looks more likely that it's not going to
be released this year, I know, bad news, but there you go. So anyway,
that's it really, just wish you Happy Katemas, whatever you're doing..."


He's so sweet! The update is not at all suprising, at least, not to fans
who know it's wise to tack on 2-4 years *past* the "expected" date of
whatever kate is working on :-).

:-( :-( This is the most sorrowful birthday of Kate's life :-( :-(

Isn't Cloudbusting based on a book by someone? I seem to remember it was called
something like The Book of Dreams which is about someone who built a
cloudbusting machine (if I remember rightly, it is a novel, not a story about
an actual event - I'll have to try to get it from the library someday). She
apparently bought the book on impulse because it had a good cover.

Also on the subject of the Hounds of Love album - appologies if this has
already been answered, but it is hard to access the archives from here - does
anyone know what the non-Englist words said at the end of one of the songs
are? I can't off-hand remember which song - it could well be Hello Earth.
Someone thinks one of the words is German for 'light'.

Thanks,

REGARDING                This Woman's Work p.o.v.
people:

greg footahs and John Zimmer happily discusses 3rd person abstract
omniscient point of views on the part of the protagonist in "This Woman's
Work".

NO, No, no. (if I may be so bold)

The song is clearly first person. "I know you have a little life in you
yet". "All the things that we never did". "Oh, darling, make it go away".
(rough quotes, I don't have the lyrics here either) And the emotions
expressed are clearly those of someone deeply involved in worry about
something he has no control over. Birth is always a worrisome time for the
father. Even after three times it's gotten no easier for me. Who knows what
could go wrong (tho' things seldom do)? The mother is a bit too involved to
worry about it `til it's all over (:-) or <-( depending on your p.o.v.)

The opening lines ("It's hard on the man, now his part is over. Now begins
the craft of the father") would be the guy thinking in general terms about
men and birth. Besides "It's hard on me now that my part's over. Now I start
being a father" or whatever probably wouldn't scan as well.

Tho' I may as well add that I never liked this song much. The music I find
marvelous, catching the whole slow build up to a head rush everything
happening at once sudden ending and slow down that the birth process is. But
the lyrics contain too much selfish whining and a notable lack of concern
for the woman giving birth. Which fits in quite well with the movie, I must
say.

Subject: Heard new Peter Gabriel tonight...
Newsgroups: rec.music.gaffa
Part of one song, anyway. I don't know the name of it, or if it is
definitely going to be on the new album. We were at the SIGGRAPH '92
"Electronic Theater" where, for the most part, the best of the best
of the previous year's computer graphics' pieces (art, scientific
simulation, advertising) were shown.

An art piece called "Liquid Selves" was shown and the music was new
Peter Gabriel. It was only 2:15 long, too bad, because the visuals were
great and the song was great! I have no idea if this is intended to be
part of the video for the song (assuming it might be released as a single)
or if Peter wrote the music especially for the visuals. We'll find out
soon enough, if there is a song on the new album called "Liquid Selves."

The music was very percussive, reminiscent of the _Security_ days, while
the vocals and vocal style is very reminiscent of _So_, a la "Mercy Street."

In the program, this piece is credited to Karl Sims ("Produced by") if
that name rings a bell with anyone. No other credits are given in the
program, not even Peter's name. The credits after the peice went by too
fast to register anything except Peter's name.

In the program, it says "Most of these peices are available for purchase
as SIGGRAPH Video review Issues #81 & #82. Within USA 1-800-523-5503,
Outside USA 1-708-250-0807"

Note the word "Most" above. For some reason I suspect that Peter's peice
will *not* be available, but it certainly doesn't hurt to call, which we
certainly will.

For those with doubts, I've been a Peter Gabriel fan since 1973 and we
are *very* familiar with Peter's recorded (um, and bootleg) output. I even
took a Walkman to _Till the End of the World_ to record Peter's song,
since it's not on the soundtrack. This song tonight is most definitely
new, never-before-heard, Peter Gabriel.

Chinet is down and I can't post to newsgroups. Could someone please pass
this post along to rec.music.misc? Thanks!

Hi:
   I have an extra ticket for Sarah McLachlan Thurs. Aug. 20 at Molson Place,
Harbourfront in Toronto.  Row A, seat 46 (hmmm, sounds like front row to me!). 
I'm not a scalper and I don't even play one on TV, so it can be yours for
whatever I paid (about $20 or so, I'll check tonight).  All you have to do in
order to be elligible is email me in 25 words or less "Why I Should Get
Richard's Extra Front Row Ticket To See Sarah McLachlan At Molson Place,
Harbourfront In Toronto On Thursday August 20th At 7:30 PM".  OK, since the
title chews up more than 25 words itself (is "PM" a word?) I'll give you some
leeway and make it 25 words or more.  I'm having the contest because I would
prefer that this premium ticket went to a raving, lunatic, maniac fan (like I
am now) than to someone who thinks "Gee, I wonder if she's any good?  Maybe I
should go see her sometime." (Like me 6 months ago).  All entries received
become the property of me, and any which are especially funny or potentially
embarassing may be posted back to the .net.

   Anyone attending one of the KaTemas parties, please have a cold one on my
behalf (I prefer Pacific Real Draft, but make do with whatever you have on hand
:).  Unfortunately I'll be carrying a pager and babysitting a PDP-11 all week
so I can't make it to any of the parties, but I'll be thinking kind thoughts in
your direction.
