Hey Guy's go and check out"Love, Shelby" by Shelby Lynne. It's her second CD. I can't figure out which one I like bettter, but I think it's this one. Shelby was named Best New Artist of 2000. She's from Alabama and sure does present a Soulful, Rocky, Jazzy new CD. It's one of the Very Best!!!!!!! Philly made her feel downright at home last Thursday evening. Bravo Shelby.

Let's use this as a Forum....for shows which we have seen recently and for their discussions. Cool. As of recently, who has seen or heard some great music or some not so great music???? As for me I have seen recently: 1.) Duncan and Jeff Allen in Annapolis This is just in the past 1 - 1 1/2 months. Hey man, if in the Philly area early this Spring, try and get tickets now for March 1st.,at the brand new "Kimmel Center" for "Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette, and Gary Peacock. Some of the very best Jazz musicians around. There's just been so much great music around, I have not been able to keep up with it all. I regret missing Pete Yorn. Earlier in the season I saw Duncan and Band (minus 1 or 2) 4 other times, Mark Knofpler, David Gray, and oh yes, waiting on Bruce Cockburn to get back around here!!!!!! **Thanks to all these great Musicians and Friends. ~~~~You Know Who You Are~~~~ My extra thanks to D, for sharing all but 3 of these events with me. We will forever be soulmates. Love, [This message has been edited by Blackwuzzy (edited December 03, 2001).] IP: Logged |

Hmm... I've been to a few concerts in the past few months. Not tons, but enough. - Jimmy Eat World w/ Hey Mercedes and Reuben's Accomplice. J.E.W. is one of my favorite bands, and after this show, Hey Mercedes was too. They put on such a great show. Lots of energy. SHOWS I SHOULD HAVE SEEN/SHOULD BE AT, BUT NO, STUPID CRAP/PARENTS GET IN THE WAY - Saves the Day w/ Hey Mercedes and Thursday. I was okay with missing out on this show. I actually missed it at my own choice, b/c my brother was in town and I opted to hang out with him instead of drive all the way to Baltimore. I don't even like Saves the Day. IP: Logged |

AMG-Indie rock takes its name from "independent," which describes both the do-it-yourself attitudes of its bands and the small, lower-budget nature of the labels that release the music. The biggest indie labels might strike distribution deals with major corporate labels, but their decision-making processes remain autonomous. As such, indie rock is free to explore sounds, emotions, and lyrical subjects that don't appeal to large, mainstream audiences -- profit isn't as much of a concern as personal taste (though the labels do, after all, want to stay in business). It's very much rooted in the sound and sensibility of American underground and alternative rock of the '80s, albeit with a few differences that account for the changes in underground rock since then. In the sense that the term is most widely used, indie rock truly separated itself from alternative rock around the time that Nirvana hit the mainstream. Mainstream tastes gradually reshaped alternative into a new form of serious-minded hard rock, in the process making it more predictable and testosterone-driven. Indie rock was a reaction against that phenomenon; not all strains of alternative rock crossed over in Nirvana's wake, and not all of them wanted to, either. Yet while indie rock definitely shares the punk community's concerns about commercialism, it isn't as particular about whether bands remain independent or "sell out"; the general assumption is that it's virtually impossible to make indie rock's varying musical approaches compatible with mainstream tastes in the first place. There are almost as many reasons for that incompatibility as there are indie-rock bands, but following are some of the most common: the music may be too whimsical and innocent; too weird; too sensitive and melancholy; too soft and delicate; too dreamy and hypnotic; too personal and intimately revealing in its lyrics; too low-fidelity and low-budget in its production; too angular in its melodies and riffs; too raw, skronky and abrasive; wrapped in too many sheets of Sonic Youth/Dinosaur Jr./Pixies/Jesus & Mary Chain-style guitar noise; too oblique and fractured in its song structures; too influenced by experimental or otherwise unpopular musical styles. Regardless of the specifics, it's rock made by and for outsiders -- much like alternative once was, except that thanks to its crossover, indie rock has a far greater wariness of excess testosterone. It's certainly not that indie rock is never visceral or powerful; it's just rarely -- if ever -- macho about it. As the '90s wore on, indie rock developed quite a few substyles and close cousins (indie pop, dream pop, noise-pop, lo-fi, math rock, post-rock, space rock, sadcore, and emo among them), all of which seemed poised to remain strictly underground phenomena. Excerp from CD Now music info. With this I give you "Cousteau" Alternative/Indie *(Much worth checking out) IP: Logged |

Good morning. Saw "Jeb Loy Nichols" last night in Philly. He and his band were rather good. He is from Missouri, but has been living in Wales and England for the past 20 years. The show was very, very good. They were playing with "Cousteau" the other night and also playing a gig with "Jonatha Brooke" recently as well. New CD due out in the Spring or Summer. Very cool sound, very mellow and a really nice voice. Check out Jeb Loy Nichols!!!!!!!! He's very worth it. ***** We are just beaming with delight. Purchased tickets to see "Jonatha Brooke" and "Bruce Cockburn" in February and March. Cannot wait. They Are Our Favorites, next to Duncan of course. Goodnight all. IP: Logged |

Hey Man, Gonna go check out the new "Kimmel Center" in Philly today. It opened to the public yesterday after two days of fundraising. A concert Friday night with the main performer Sir Elton John, paid a fee of-can you believe 2 million?????? Sounds a bit much; but other greats were on hand, Yo-Yo Ma, Itshak Perlman, some famous Mezzo Sopranos and others. This new theater which cost $265 Million to build is suppose to have sound, and adjustable acoustics second to none and to top it off, it's very intimate, yet small in scale. If by chance your near Philly later today.... stop by and get free tickets for Peter Nero and the Philly Pops in their new home....Rehearsal Luncheon, 1:15 sharp. Get there early... to get free tickets at the Philly Pops booth. Were in for a great treat. [This message has been edited by Blackwuzzy (edited December 17, 2001).] IP: Logged |

Kimmel's sparkling debut Arts center premieres with a star-studded gala. Carnegie Hall, when it opened in 1891, got Tchaikovsky himself to inaugurate the building. It's 2001, and things have changed: For the maiden voyage of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts last night, the center's namesake, clothier Sidney Kimmel, got on the horn and brought in Elton John. John - Sir Elton to you - took the stage donned in a black-and-rhinestone outfit and gave the crowd of about 2,000 "Your Song" and other John classics. Mezzo-sopranos sang and pianists rattled the keys. Kimmel even took the opportunity to make his own singing debut - with some help from Paul Anka, no less. Anka did most of the vocalizing, but Kimmel chimed in here and there, cracking up the crowd. Last night's bash was the first of a two-night, $5,000-per-ticket gala opening of the $265 million complex of halls, restaurants, bars, and other public spaces at Broad and Spruce Streets. Dressed in Jean Paul Gaultier, Oscar de la Renta, Thierry Mugler, and vintage Dior, the rich and political from Philadelphia, New York, and Palm Beach, Fla., streamed up a red carpet to the center's Broad Street entrance. "To heck with the music, I could stand here all night and look at the people," said Marjorie O. "Midge" Rendell, who, along with her husband, former Mayor Edward G. Rendell, helped to get the center built. During the cocktail reception, people did just that. Excited about being a part of history, they nibbled hors d'oeuvres and sipped champagne and generally said the same thing to one another: "I can't believe it's finally built." The Avenue of the Arts welcomed its new centerpiece by dressing up with klieg lights lined down the middle of Broad Street, feathered Mummers serenading from the Kimmel's balcony restaurant, and the center's lighted elevators moving up and down. This sort of kinetic light show a person doesn't see in Philadelphia every day. Alberto Vilar, the billionaire arts philanthropist who has been doling out promises in tens-of-million-dollar increments, was supposed to have attended but was sidelined by illness, according to Kimmel Center architect Rafael Viñoly. The center's opening also brought to town press from two dozen national newspapers and magazines, as well as from publications in France, Germany and England. Under the 150-foot-high culture dome, trapeze artists leapt, amusing guests in the massive party space who dined on sushi and finger foods. John, who performed for more than an hour, collected a fee of about $2 million for his performance. (Sidney Kimmel picked up the tab.) Not including John's fee, last night's and tonight's collection of concerts, parties and dinners cost about $6 million to produce. When all the bills are in, arts center leaders hope to net about $2 million, which will go toward this year's operating budget. None of the money will help close the $20 million to $25 million funding gap the arts center still must raise to be fully equipped. More work on the building itself remains. The smaller of the two halls, Perelman Theater, won't be complete until February, although the first performance in it Sunday by the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia is expected to go on. Other backstage and support-area work will keep construction crews at the center through the summer, according to interim president Leslie Anne Miller. After last night's event, construction work resumed. Opening night of the new orchestra hall did not feature the orchestra itself - a fact that has raised many eyebrows - aside from some members of the brass and percussion sections who came out to intone Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man with Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting. Mezzos Denyce Graves and Frederica von Stade sang individually and in duet. Pianist André Watts played a splashy piano version of Bernstein's overture to Candide. In fact, all of the classical music was American-made. In a nod to Philadelphia's own culture, the Quaker City String Band was enlisted to entertain during the cocktail double-hour. Tonight, the orchestra arrives. It plays its first real concert in its new home, with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Itzhak Perlman, and pianist Emanuel Ax joining the orchestra in Beethoven's Triple Concerto, the Philadelphia Singers Chorale in Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé, and the premiere of Color Wheel by Aaron Jay Kernis. For anyone looking to see the arts center without dropping $5,000, tomorrow is your day. After ribbon-cutting at 11 a.m., the arts center will host an open house with free concerts all day. Then, with simultaneous performances happening in the new Verizon Hall, Perelman Theater, and the 144-year-old Academy of Music, the center hopes to host as many as 6,000 arts patrons on a single night. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [This message has been edited by Blackwuzzy (edited December 17, 2001).] IP: Logged |

Well, it seems that Phil has done it again. In his usual, humble way demanded our attention at his late show performace last evening in downtown Philly,(Olde City). No one can be more honest with their words. Doing songs from a forth coming CD entitled, "Issues and Options", and recapturing all of the beauty and essence of his first CD, "GroughyFriendly," Phil put on a musical symphony. And of course his favorite to many, "Melt." Not only have his songs been performed by many artists, his works can be found in many sound tracks. One cool thing he mentioned is that one of his songs from the "GroughyFriendly" CD has been picked to be on this new CD to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness through The Garland Foundation and he has been chosen to be on it, amongst such people as Paul McCartney. Phil is genuinely a great, rare talent. His song "Hope In A Hopeless World," he gave out, on prepress CD's to 50 Lucky fans. Phil also takes the time to say hello, talk to you. (Sound like anyone we know??) One fan drove from NYC. He not only gave her his single CD, but said, "Hey, you drove all the way from NYC to see me---- just take this. And gave her one of his CD's he had been trying to sell. Here we find not only a great Singer-Songwriter, but a performer with a heart very, very large. Check him out for sure. He is definitely One of The Very Best!!!!!!!!! Tune in on Valentine's day, next Thursday at 11:00 PM. Phil is doing a special Gig and interview up at Fordham University in NYC. Listen to the Live Stream on WFUV. *** Everyone-you should be able to access Duncan's Performance and Interview with the Band here as well, last August the 11th. 2001 under Archives's under Idiot's Delight show.

One name-----"Jonatha Brooke." Saw her again last night near Philly. She was just great. She poured her heart out at the show and gave the Fan's so much of herself, far more than she had too. She is my favorite Female Artist and very thankful for her fans. Check her out if you don't know already who she is. "Steady Pull," is her most recent CD. Oh yeah, she was just asked to do a song for the new Walt Disney movie about Peter Pan. That's very cool. She sang it last night. More power to you Jonatha. Much love. IP: Logged |

Tonight I will be at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Philadelphia. I will be checking out the sound of this new $262 Million Dollar Music Hall in Philly.

As far as main stream Jazz goes, I would have to say that "Keith Jarrett" is the best pianist I have ever seen live. He has been playing piano since the age 3 and has been playing for about 35 years. He was really excellent, as well as the great "Jack DeJohnette" on drums. (My favorites) The sound was excellent at the new Music Hall in Philly. Next time I will have to give some Classical Music a listen to there. If you come to Philadelphia, check out the new Center for the Performing Arts for sure. Well.... it's off to "Bruce Cockburn" Monday night. How great!!!!!! We are very lucky to have the diversity in Music that we do for sure. Much love, IP: Logged |

Hey over the weekend I saw Cousteau and Suzanne Vega in Philly at the WXPN Singer/Songwriter Weekend. Cousteau were great. Suzanne was pretty good, though she only had three hours sleep (traveling from Auston, Texas she stated). Doug Yowell still on drums for her. The last time I had seen her Gerry Leonard was on guitar and Doug on drums as well. Well this evening I'm going to see Lucinda Williams for the first time in person. I want to see if she is really up to par for all the hype and rave reviews she receives. More importantly, I want to check out her style and guitar playing. I'll let you guys know. Much love.

I saw Elvis Costello last Monday and also Phantom Planet. Lets just say that the only cool person in Phantom Planet is Jason. Everyone else put on airs like they were fabulous or something, unlike Elvis who was so cool cause he signed stuff for us and let us take pics with him. The concert was great and I had a fabulous time. If he's coming to a town near you, go see him, you won't be disappointed. Aquagirl (Alma) IP: Logged |

Ryan had a cold on the tour. His concert was "Acoustic" and well was not as great as when he's with his band. He was still very, very good and mellow. He did everything from "HeartBreaker." A couple new songs.....so I was alittle disappointed, but he remains one of the most talented young Musician's out there today. Ryan is very prolific and you can expect many a surprise from him. He gave away about 5 guitars at the show and a toaster to fans in the front audience. A fan yelled out, that she thought Ryan had a nice ass. Ryan asked, "Who said that?" and proceeded to give her a guitar. Ryan is very shy in concert and does not like the lights on him. Even when Denise and I got up very close (2nd. row) up front at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia, we still could not really see him due to the lighting. He drinks, smokes, and sells T-shirts that say.... Ryan Adams Sucks...so I would have to say that Ryan Adams though he sets forth a persona that he does really think his music sucks, underneath here he is extremely confident and secure of his place in this music world. He remains one of the best Artists out there today. "Gold," "Heartbreaker," and his newest "Demolition" are all well worth having in your collection. His lyrics are pretty cool too..... Ryan is very sensitive and says he hasn't written a happy song yet. Thinking about his Europe gigs...or when we can see him again real, real soon. Two thumbs way up for this one. BW
