Luca, Thanks for your comment on Dave's concert. I'm too waiting for the Italian release of Freak In. I'm too from Torino.

Re: OT: The Ex

I have seen The Ex four times last month. I enjoyed all concerts, although I thought the Paradiso-concert was the least good, but maybe that was because of bad sound quality (they did play a great cover of Konono however!). They only played new songs, except "Uitgeest", which they played as encore. I quite like the new songs and Rozemarie's playing. I wasn't really a major fan of the previous "Dizzy Spells" album, but this however is a great progression. Don't miss them. They will be touring in USA later this year. P.S. I also was minus 3 years old when The Ex played their first concert. Well, They were still punk-wannabes anyway. Kris np- Spem in Alium (Tallis)

Hi! >Rozemarie has been associated with the Ex in a way, having performed >duo-improvisations with Terrie (very beautiful BTW, check their >"fiets" CD). How is "Fiets"? I'm rather skeptical of Terrie's abilities as improvisor. I have seen him smake a lot of noise with Han Bennink live, which is always very energetic and fun, but on CD I find him to be to simple and slightly boring. >So, the concert was a blast! They looked really revamped and happy to >play together, Luc was indeed smiling from the audience. The sound >was a little bit closer to the sound that they had with T.Cora present, >especially when Rozemarie was using her bow. Her sound was overall full >and blended greatly. So, no worries! Sounds great. Did they only play new songs?

Hi, Some time ago there were some rumours about a Sonic Youth/Brigitte Fontaine thing on SYR. I wonder if someone knows if there was any truth to these rumours... I did like the tracks on Brigitte Fontaine's latest CD (Kekeland) where SY backed her, but I think they could have been better... Maarten Hepp mhepp(a)xs4all.nl

RE: The Ex

hi I cought the Ex live a month ago in a small club of the squat-scene in Amsterdam, OCCII. The gig was part of a series of warm-up gigs preceding apeparences in bigger venues in Holland and soon around Europe. I was a bit sceptical about the new line-up and how would the doublebass of Rozemarie blend in. And mostly, would some of the magic sound of the T.Cora cello-days be recovered? Rozemarie has been associated with the Ex in a way, having performed duo-improvisations with Terrie (very beautiful BTW, check their "fiets" CD). I think she has also been in the Ex Orkest at some point. So, the concert was a blast! They looked really revamped and happy to play together, Luc was indeed smiling from the audience. The sound was a little bit closer to the sound that they had with T.Cora present, especially when Rozemarie was using her bow. Her sound was overall full and blended greatly. So, no worries! New songs are being prepared for an upcoming album, even though Terrie says it might take some time. In the meantime a CD will be released documenting their tour with Han Bennink in Ethiopia, check their website www.theex.nl for details and upcoming dates. manolis PS: to contribute to the SY discussion, of course "Sister" is their best release. Powerful, magic, trance music. Beauty lies in the eye. An intense personal experience listening to it, was in a car, on the way back from a tiring hiking holiday, late at night through Belgium with heavy rain (surprise!). Of course none else in the car appreciated it, but for me it was a revelation! Also I found the CD of EX/ICP/SY very very good. It lives up to the potential of the combined parts and manages to really capture the feeling of seeing them live with a similar line-up a day before the recording.

Charles Mingus Big Band/Elvis Costello Tickets
by Samerivertwice＠aol.com 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

All: Due to my overzealousness a friend of mine and I both ordered tickets for the May 3 Costello/Mingus show at Bard College (located north of Manhattan). So now we have two extra tickets. Anyone interested in these? If so, please contact me privately. Row G on the side, right on the aisle. (That's row 7 to you and me.) Seats 11, 13. $65 each, and no "convenience" fees! FACE VALUE. Need I remind you that this will be a very unique show? Or that the Mingus Big Band is a world-class outfit and that Elvis has composed lyrics for many of Mingus's compositions? Or that the show will more than likely feature big band arrangements of quite a few Costello tunes? (This might be important to you Costello fans out there.) Not that I'm trying to persuade you or anything, but if you miss this show you'll regret it for the rest of your life. No pressure. Thanks, Tom Concert: Weekend Two: Charles Mingus Orchestra with special guest, Elvis Costello Saturday May 3, 2003 Charles Mingus Orchestra with special guest, Elvis Costello. Admission charged. The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts. Time: 8:00 pm Location: Sosnoff Theater

What I would imagine a Bailey/Parker/Oxley trio to sound like if they were going to sound like I would expect them to (however, if we were ever to be treated to a Bailey/Parker/Oxley they would defy expectations and not sound like this...) Does this make sense? The tracks with Guy weren't any better than the trio itself, as is sometimes the case adding a wildcard into a longstanding group. Didn't really like the O'Rourke remix, but they wouldn't be doing that live. I guess if you want a recommendation: if they came near where I live, I'd go see them. Dan

Does any one have any opinions about the band Trim-Dim from Sweden? They contacted me about playing. I saw they've played with Barry Guy and were remixed by Jim O'Rourke...Interesting. Thanks. Zach
