This could be a song by Wendy & Lisa in which "Singin' La Di La Di" is repeated
often in the chorus. Sorry, can't remember the title right now.

  If I recall correctly, her first U.S. single was "Kids in America" that made
it to the top 20 in the summer of 1982.  I always enjoyed "Checkered Love" from
the same album.

The Aimee Mann Trio
Nightstage, Cambridge, MA
10/2/92

Depending on where you looked, this was billed as Aimee Mann (acoustic),
The Aimee Mann Trio or Aimee Mann ('Til Tuesday). Name aside, what you
got was the same basic band that comprised "'Til Tuesday" in their
triumphant engagement at The Paradise club a few months ago, but with
a quieter, primarily acoustic, focus.

This time around was every bit the equal of that date, and then
some. The set list hadn't changed substantially, but Mann and company
became more intimate with the crowd than I'd have ever expected. Mann
was positively jubilant at points, and it was hard to imagine this
was the same person who'd penned some of those brilliant sad odes that
comprise 'Til Tuesday's last two albums. Still, those songs--and many
of the best ones were presented again--were delivered with the sombre
grace they deserved, and made all the more poignant by the sympathetic
acoustic arrangements. This was MTV Unplugged as it was conceptualized,
not as the star-turn charade it's become.
Mann also showcased a number of new songs which
have already been recorded, and will be released as soon as the group
can finalize a record agreement with someone. That material as good
as this hasn't brought the labels fighting one another to their door while
every Marky Mark that comes down the chute gets the velvet push speaks
volumes about the record industry.

Mann shared the spotlight with her lead guitar player, who also played
a few of his warm folk-influenced songs. And, continuing a recent tradition,
a couple of smartly chosen and performed covers (Steely Dan's "Dirty Work" 
and the dB's "Lonely Is (as Lonely Does)") graced the later portion of the 
concert.  Their taste in record collecting is obviously as good as their taste
in writing.

The Aimee Mann Acoustic 'Til Tuesday Trio plan to play additional dates
as they presumably attempt to finalize a deal to get their record released.
Justice certainly doesn't always prevail, but sometimes it squeaks through
under the door. So you might want to catch them now, just in case the
world catches up...

First of all, let me say that I thought the performance (of Bab Marley's "War")
was riveting and brilliant. IMHO. I think she's a phenomenal raw talent and
a remarkable performer, and the emotion she poured into that song was immense.
I like her singing, lots of people don't. That's cool. If anybody can make
a stereo cassette recording of it for me I would be forever grateful. I'll
settle for mono if I have to, though...

Secondly, Sinead has a real chip on her shoulder with regard to Catholicism. 
She was brought up Catholic and contends that it is responsible for her
screwed-up state of mind. She likens it to child abuse, and the recent flap in
Ireland over authorities refusing to let a 14-year-old girl who was raped 
travel to England to have an abortion only confirmed her convictions even more.
Her idea is basically that the Roman Catholic Church is directly resposible
for much of the war over however many centuries (they were responsible for
some of it, 'tis true) while at the same time professing to be peace-loving
God-fearing caring nurturing people, and that the power the clergy exerts over
their congregations is regularly abused and too powerful. Seeing as the Pope
is the ultimate symbol of this power, she's pissed at the Pope (and the
office of the Pope) as well. She thinks that the RCC, while acting as the 
true way, is in fact built on hatred, fear and lies. (None of this is my 
opinion, BTW, it's all hers, and I'm just relating it.) Read the liner notes 
of her new album (and listen to the monologue after the last song) to get a 
better idea.

If it makes any of you feel better, NBC is still receiving calls about this,
and *all* the calls they have received have been complaints.

I did like the Star of David around her neck, though. :-)

Gordon Cameron wants to know about the line "Yila Moja" which appears
in the chorus of Peter Gabriel's "Biko." Someone helpfully replies:

>  In the book _Biko_ by Donald Woods, there is something called "African
>Anthem", which has the following line and the translation underneath:
>  Woza Moya! [Yihla] Moya!
> Come Spirit! [Descend] Spirit!

You know the taped snippet which starts [and ends] the tune? The German
language borrows a different section from the same performance, but you
no doubt get the idea. The line comes from that song; the real and 
proper name of the song is "Nkosi Sikelel' i- Afrika", by Enoch
Sontonga. It's the anthem of the African National Congress.  [thus, calling 
it the "African Anthem" *might* bother the Zulus, I expect]. You'll also 
hear a section of it in the soundtrack to the film "Cry Freedom." The 
line comes from the first verse:

Nkosi sikelel' i-Afrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo
Yizwa Imithandazo yethu
Nkosi sikelela -- Nkosi sikelela
Nkosi sikelel' i_Afrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo
Yizwa Imithandazo yethu
Nkosi sikelela -- Thina Lusapho Iwayo
Woza Moya
Yijla Moya, oyingcwele [sometimes sung as a repeat of Woza Moya]
Nkosi sikelela
Thina Lusapho Iwayo

If you listen really carefully, I'll bet you can even find the lines
they're singing from this verse in the opening of the tune.

Hope this helps. Asante, bwana.

Nusrat Fateh Ali-Khan is well-worth investigating.  Your local

Listening to that, & maybe even calling in & talking to the DJ,

If you can FTP to cs.uwp.edu (131.210.1.4) and get into the

Inspired by a recent countdown of the top 1000 songs of all time, I've
decided to conduct one of my own, kind of... I'd like to hear what you
feel are the five best songs of all time.

I will be compiling them using a 10-9-8-7-6 system and I'll give a 
point to every song you add over five. So think hard when you vote.

Replies will be sent back giving which voter you were so you can get a
feel how large the countdown will be. The countdown will be as long
as how many votes are given.

By the variety of songs that people have put as number one, I will
compile them as follows: If there is a vote for a #1 song that no one
else has voted for, they will be bunched in the "Single #1 vote"
category. Since #1 votes are ten points, those most certainly will
be in the top whatever, and I will denote what place they'd be in.

I encourage as many people to vote as possible. I will continue accepting
requests until I post the results October 15.

She's also the new co-host of America's Funniest Home Videos (or whatever that
show is). Much better than that ditzy blonde they used to have!

For Lazlo Nibble and everyone who's interested; there's a fab new CD out
from a band called Oldfield versus the Orb. It's on WEA (UK) and it's
called Sentinel. Cat number 4509-91020-2 (YZ698CDX), with three tracks:

1) Sentinel Nobel Prize Mix   14:26
2) Sentinel Orbular Bells Mix 12:26
3) Sentunel Seven Inch Mix    04:03

It'll be hard to spot for TBII fans as it has an Orb-style cover by the
Designers Republic rather than and Oldfield-style one. It's rather good
also.
