Lush appeared in Toronto on August 15th at the Phoenix with opening act
Thrush Hermit. The concert was originally placed at a different venue
but when it became clear the first venue was going to be too small for
the large number of ticket buyers, the show was moved to the larger
Phoenix club in the heart of beautiful downtown Toronto.
I arrived shortly after Thrush Hermit started playing. Around thirty
minutes before showtime I noticed a girl with bright red hair standing in
the crowd watching the opening act. Was it merely a Miki-copycat or
what? Several fans talked briefly with her so I decided to investigate.
It turns out it was in fact Miki! Luckily I had a pen and a Lush album
ready for signing, which Miki was happy to adorn with her sig. Thanks,
Miki!! You're super nice to take the time to do this!
Due to the Phoenix club having a previously scheduled in-house thing
going on later that same night, the Lush show was somewhat compacted.
The set featured a cavalcade of Lush hits from past and present.
Highlights include "Sweetness And Light", "Last Night", "Desire Lines"
and the new single "500 (Shake Baby Shake)". During the encore they even
played "Demystification" to the delight of the fan that yelped for it.
Miki commented on the real tall guy standing in the crowd near the stage.
"You're the guy I always end up behind at gigs", she said. She also made
reference to this guy right up front by the stage who was "there so he
could get crushed by all those girls' bodies. Yeah, I know you guys!".
She also said she could play for another three hours but that we wouldn't
be cheering by the third hour. If only the venue would let Lush play for
that long! The show ended up lasting around 75 minutes...
The band was in top form tonight. Miki's voice was rich and strong and
Emma's guitar work was brilliant as per usual. Chris threw out his
sticks after the show to two lucky fans. I love how Emma knew exactly
when to back up out of the way of the blast of dry ice which would have
engulfed her in a thick fog for several seconds or more.
I watched their "interview" on Much Music prior to the gig and learned
Miki and Emma checked out the Star Trek convention display earlier that
afternoon "for something to do". They played the nifty new "500" video
as well as the vid for "Ladykillers".
I will not mention that during the first few songs Miki's guitar rested
on her skirt, hitching it up as she bounced around and that she was
wearing black undies. That would be wrong. So I will not mention it.
Yet another triumph for Lush, a band with a truly fine collection of
songs and the energy and genuine love for what they do to pull it off.

As promised, we now have the Random Thinking CD available.
This is the one that has Cocteau covers Bluebeard and
Know Who You Are At Every Age, plus the Cranberries
cover Dreams. It's a good album, but I must admit that
it pales a little in comparison to the more
Cocteaus than Cocteaus sound of Impatience.

No, Jeff. Emiel's not serious. That's what we in the business call a 'joke'.
Besides, everyone knows TT have split up.
I saw Lush on TV yesterday and Emma appeared not to be wearing any makeup -
yikes! Then they showed the video for 500 (wow, is that song ever cloying)
and with all the soft focus, Miki looked vaguely like Angela from MSCL at
times. Weird.

Tetto,
So, you mean Emiel was just kidding about 4AD signing Take That? Oh.
Wheeewww! He really had me going there! I even believed 4AD signed the
fat girl from Wilson Philips!! Gosh, I'm so easily led...

...and speaking of "My So-Called Life": Claire Danes (Angela) is a great
actress and the series, all 19 episodes, are TV at its best. The series
soundtrack is cool as well, featuring Buffalo Tom, Madder Rose, Frente!,
Afgahn Whigs and a truly wonderful ballad from Juliana Hatfield. Her
duets with Tanya Donelly on the "Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest
Hits" and "Hot Burrito # 1" on the "Gepetto" EP are simply wonderful...

Is this the same Paladins to sign to 4AD?
The Paladins
Home Base: San Diego
Years Performing: 12
You're familiar with Charlemagne? King of France? Holy Roman Emperor?
Well, the king kept an entourage of 12 legendary knights, called
"paladins," who were to be "determined advocates of a noble cause,"
namely, the advancement of the big guy and his territory. The Paladins
from San Diego answer to no man, but they are certainly determined,
playing some 200 road dates a year, and their cause is surely noble --
they deliver sweaty roadhouse blues, expressed in roots-rock songs about
girls and cars, the eternal verities of American pop music.
Singer and guitarist Dave Gonzalez, who has often been compared to Stevie
Ray Vaughan, formed the band in the '70s with his high school pal,
stand-up and electric bass player Tom Yearsley. Primarily a rockabilly
outfit in their early days, the Paladins' exuberant live shows quickly
gained them a loyal following in Southern California. As they expanded
their range of styles to include the blues, swing and R&B, the Paladins
began collaborating with L.A. artists like the Blasters, X and Los Lobos,
as well as with Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. For Ticket Home,
Gonzalez and Yearsley have added drummer Jeff Donavan, formerly of the
Dwight Yoakam band, to the mix. From the Stevie Ray-style "One Step" to
the rootsy title track to the tender "Comfort You," Ticket Home is the
work of seasoned vets who've retained the energy of young pups.

In addition to that Liquorice EP "Stalls" (SM 38) featuring a great
A-side, the record also features a warped version of The Pretenders'
"Talk Of The Town" retitled to be "Squawk Of The Town". Also worth
picking up is that "Red Hot + Bothered" album (45983-2) which features
"Little League" from Liquorice in addition to Lisa Germano's formerly
promo-only "The Mirror Is Gone" and Freedom Cruise who are made up of Kim
and Kelley Deal plus the boys from Guided By Voices. The "Stalls" EP and
"Little League" were both "recorded" by Warren Defever as well...

Not the politics, but the elections are laughable (and scaring)
I mean, this Dole-site, the interactive Clinton Calender and the poster-making-t

US elections is TV entertainment, millions of dollars spend on meaningless event

The brief mention of this decidedly thislisty band prompted me to get off
my arse and order the rest of their back catalogue from the friendly folks
at Ear/Rational. (http://www.xmission.com/~ear)
E/R lists four releases: Au Val des Roses, Les Marrioniers,
An Automine a Leroy, and Villers-aux-Venis.
Villers-aux-Venis is superb. Imagine Annelli Drecker fronting the 80's
Banshees on a French-language WWI trench warfare concept album. It
vies with Portishead as my favorite CD from 1994.
My only clue as to the relative merit of the preceeding albums is that
Villers was described here as being more texturally varied...
I'd welcome news of subsequent releases...
d s roy
And the inevitable disgressions:
Touching From a Distance - overpriced Ian Curtis bio, a self-victimizer...
Sambatiki - overpriced as negligible DCD singles go.
Brian Eno's "A Year with Swollen Appendices" - pithy, memorable, and funny
and Salman Rushdie still rocks my world...

Perfume Tree's "A Lifetime Away" was just licenced to and rereleased by

Their previous outing "The Suns Running Out" (Zulu records), featured
pristine female vocals tracing slow, vaguely Celtic melodies over resonan=

bass, guitar textures shoegazey and/or reggaefied, and hip-hop rhythms,
the whole miasma enhanced by dubby production. Triangulation points migh=
t
include Sinead O'Connor's "I am stretched on your grave", Gala-period
Lush, and TWP's "Birdwood Cage". Very sexy, as "etherial" albums go.=20
"A Lifetime Away" begins on the Seefeel tip, organically combining even
deeper bass, multi-tracked and jigsaw-sampled to beautiful effect vocals,
and a guitar drone like a flanged harmonium. Another Lush tribute/
improvement follows, then a visit to Tricky-land, a nearly accoustic
celtic dirge, something to grind hips to, a worrysome track with FSOL
styled percussion...it goes on and on with no trace of filler. To the
above antecedents I could add Delerium's "Flowers Become Screens" and Jah
Wobble's comeback albums (sans Jah=D5s non-voice), but the whole is prett=

find that they're the only person there, say something
clever, and leave. We can do better than that certainly!
So what I'd propose is setting up some time where a bunch
of us go there and chat away. Who knows, it might even be fun.
So what I'm going to do is check in every hour from noon to 5pm
California time today (Friday). Maybe I'll meet some of you there.

>They are nice but they're hacks!! They can't even write lyrics to

The mind reels. Compare to viz. REM, who realized they couldn't even
write lyrics to J. M. Stipe's songs and therefore made him start singing
intelligibly. The result: a transcendent leap in the quality of their
music and unforgettable poetry like "Shiny Happy People".
