The following appeared today in Music News Of The World
-----------------------------------------------------------
>Music producer Kevin Laffey and disc jockey Liza
>Richardson may seem like an odd pair to be working
>on an album together. But consider this:
>Amid all of the hyped-up albums being put together this
>year, Laffey and Richardson, a disc jockey at KCRW in
>Santa Monica, Calif., have secretly hit on an intriguing
>musical idea that might well be the most original and
>unusual release of '98.
>The fruits of the work, Man In The Moon: The Loving
>Tongue, due out on Warner Bros. by early next year, is
>designed to be a compilation album featuring artists
>performing spoken-word over music created
>specifically for the pieces by other musicians, including
>R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, Bjork and Ani DiFranco.
>Having paired such renowned and yet diverging artists
>as Brian Eno and Stipe (who is reading from Samuel
>Delany's Dahlgren), co-producer Kevin Laffey said "the
>album is subtitled The Loving Tongue because all of
>the spoken-word pieces are romantic-erotic poetry and
>prose."
>The Loving Tongue is the first volume in a planned
>series, said Laffey who began developing the concept
>with Richardson while he was working in A & R at
>Warner Bros. Richardson hosts a radio show on
>KCRW called "Man In The Moon," in which she mixes
>celebrity artists doing spoken-word on top of previously
>recorded instrumentals. "The difference between the
>compilation and (Richardson's) show is that on the
>album, the musical accompaniments are original and
>created for the pieces," Laffey said.
>While some of the spoken word on The Loving
>Tongue, such as Stipe's Delany excerpt, are by other
>authors, Laffey added that for the most part the pieces
>are written by the artists themselves.
>In addition to the Wilco/Cale and Eno/Stipe pairings,
>confirmed collaborators include: Daniel Lanois (whose
>production credits include Luscious Jackson, Peter
>Gabriel and U2) with Ani DiFranco; Yoko Ono and
>Sean Lennon; Angelo Badalanenti (who provided the
>music for David Lynch's Twin Peaks) and The Flaming
>Lips; Ronnie Size with Soul Coughing; and Leslie
>Winer with Spring Heel Jack.
>"It's really been a labor of love," said Laffey, who
>reports that the album has been over a year in the
>making and is now set for an early '98 release on
>Warner Brothers Records.
I think this collaboration will be an excellent followup to
Daniel's work with Luscious Jackson. Ani has certainly become
more adept in the studio over the years; they should produce
some very ambitious music together.
Also, USA Today ran a favorable if informationally-challenged
review of the new Dylan album, so advance tapes must be making
the rounds.
Side note: two good new albums worth checking out are "Beyond
The Missouri Sky", an acoustic instrumental collaboration between
Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny, and "Eat/Kiss", the live John Cale
score from two Warhol films.

Subject: lanois/buckley tape offer
I little while back someone generously sent me two 90' tapes containing
some fabulous Jeff Buckley material from '91-92 (including several Dylan
covers like "Farewell Angelina") and a Daniel Lanois performance labeled
Hamburg 2/6/90 (don't know if this is complete or not). Anyway, I would in
turn like to offer these in trade to get them out since I think they are so
good. Email me (cpelham@macconnect.com) your list of boots and tapes for
trade (Lanois, Dylan, The Band, Joni Mitchell, Richard Thompson, whatever),
and I'll do a 2-for-2 trade with the first five who express interest. If
there is more interest then as time permits I'll do more trades. If anyone
would like to set up a tree, please let me know. It would in any event be
a good thing if whoever responds initially to this offer would be willing
to in turn make more copies for others.
Thanks,
Christopher

I just thought I'd get my Emmy Lou Harris story out there! I was reading all
of your posts about how good her show is, so I thought I'd better check out
when she was coming to Denver. It turns out that she was not coming to
Denver, but she was going to Grand Junction, which is about 4 hours away, and
would be there in 2 days! Of course, tickets were sold out, but they had
just opened up a section and we got front row seats. What a great show! The
difference between the Lanois produced songs and her old stuff was
tremendous. I couldn't hardly sit through her old stuff, and I couldn't get
enough of the Wrecking Ball songs. I have one complaint. I don't think that
Lanois' rhythm section did justice to her songs. Johnson failed to capture
the haunting bass line on The Maker, and the guitar player couldn't even come
close to capturing Lanois' guitar sensitivity. The music tried to suck the
spirit out of many of the Wrecking Ball songs, but Emmy Lou's voice was too
powerful to let that happen. It was a joy to see her in concert, GO IF YOU
CAN!!!

Leave it up to this newsletter to inform and educate--I've been wondering
for the longest time who AUGIE MYERS, the guy that Steve Earle thanks in
one of his live songs on one of his live recordings and lo and behold:
>Playing Farfisa organ and accordion on the record is Augie Myers,
>>who's best known for his work with Texas rocker Doug Sahm in the Sir
>>Douglas Quintet and continues with Sahm in the Texas Tornadoes.
>>Dylan has known Myers since 1965, when "Like A Rolling Stone" and
>>the Sir Douglas Quintet's "She's About A Mover" were bastions of
>>American music on the Top Forty charts during the British Invasion.
Thanks a kazillion, Kenley!
(further proof that Steve Earle just ain't no "country act"!)

hey party people:
somebody mentioned here a while ago that cool water was a bootleg. is this
true? i picked it up in a tower records in san fran some years back. it
was even on sale. i was just surprised to find out that it might be a
bootleg if what i read was true. how many others are there existing?
i love the man, but has anyone else noticed how much daniel lanois looks
like bill murray in the picture of him and billy bob thornton in the sling
blade cd?
listening,
cory heikkila
[Editor's Note: The "official" word from Daniel and his manager is that
the Cool Water CD is a bootleg.]
