Post-Last-Minute News
The Boston band, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, is on hiatus. We got the news from Tuesday's Boston Globe (Dec. 16)
Boston Globe feature
though evidently the official Web site has been saying so for some time. While this is not an official breakup, the fact that some members have relocated to Florida and California could be taken as a bad sign for a Mighty Mighty future. The Globe's Jim Sullivan quoted Bosstone Dicky Barrett this way: "There's no real beginning and no real ending. I hope it lives in my heart forever. On my gravestone, it will say 'Bosstone.' But at this point, having been a Bosstone for close to 20 years, it's time to look around and see if there's anything else."
If you're interested in learning more about Boston-area hip-hop, this is your week. It's the subject of an excellent Renée Graham feature in Friday's Boston Globe.
Boston Globe article
The Boston Hip-Hop Fest takes place at the Middle East Down tonight. Personally, I'm nor sure I've heard of any of the acts - which is part of the festival's appeal - though the name
This is actually one of the most interesting articles about hip-hop - if not the most interesting article - that I've ever read. Definitely recommended. But you'd better hurry. Globe notices are not left online for long.
We're having a persistent problem with our coverage of the Providence and New Haven areas. The Providence Phoenix and New Haven Advocate newspapers often are posted late. And by the time they are available online, we're swamped with information we already have from other sources. Is there anyone out there who, on a weekly basis, could help compile local popular music news from either New Haven or Providence? If so, please contact Alan Lewis via the contact link at the bottom of this newsletter.

Dave Derby (formerly of the Dambuilders)
and His "Even Further Behind" CD
In Friday's Globe, Joan Anderman takes a rather sentimental journey back to the days of Boston's '90s Dambuilders, in connection with the debut album, Even Further Behind, by ex-Dambuilder Dave Derby.
Boston Globe notice
As I've written many times before, our site statistics and e-mails show very little interest, among our readers, in the bands from the late 1980s right through most of the '90s, the lone exception being the Boston band Tribe. Yet there could be room for the Dambuilders to be a second exception. Our newsletter pages get a decent number of hits on the name of former Dambuilder Joan Wasser and her current nom de
Christmas Revels
and Its Ties to Boston's Folk Community
Scott Alarik had a fine feature in Friday's Boston Globe about the Christmas Revels.
Boston Globe feature
Revels has become a Boston institution. But even if the Christmas Revels program is not of great interest to you, Alarik's feature, typically enough, has other charms. For instance, did you know that singer-songwriter Maria Sangiolo, early in her career, was a member of the Revels family? I've read a lot about her, and either I forgot or I never knew it in the first place. And how about Aoife O'Donovan? We were totally impressed by her vocal contributions to the latest Wayfaring Strangers album. Did you know that, at age 12, Aoife O'Donovan played a cow in a Revels show that included the song, "There Was a Pig Went Out to Dig"? Snortin' right you didn't, and either did I.
Great stuff. Check it out.
Since I posted this issue, Circle of Song - the Revels traveling troupe - staged a performance of the brand-new production, There's a Meeting Here Tonight!, right here in Brattleboro, Vermont. It was fantastic! This new show is based on the lives and careers of the Hutchinson Family singers - my main area of interest. It was only the second-ever public performance of There's a Meeting Here Tonight!, and it took place within easy walking distance of here. Amazing coincidence! One of the stars is Nuala O'Donovan whose sister, Aoife O'Donovan, I mentioned earlier in this item. For my review of There's a Meeting Here Tonight! by the Revels, just follow this link:

rock e. rollins
(CD, rockerollins.com, 2003)
Rock E. Rollins (Sal Baglio), the representation of the 21st Century rock 'n roll boy, brings back the sounds that turned
Rock E. Rollins, otherwise known as Sal Baglio, shares with us in his lyrics - in tune with the times of those earlier days - feelings and happenings.
"Big Noise," the first track, could very well have been the opening song for a '70s television music show like Hullabaloo or Shindig! Big Noise on CBS Friday Nights at 10:00! Referencing dances like the Tighten Up. Let's hear this week's Big Noise! 21st Century Rock and Roll Boy epitimizes the two options that were growing as a part of all our lives - Rock (loud and with the pretty-boy long-haired look) and the Computer Era. What was in his soul? Well, we know that answer. Anyone who has watched Sal Baglio, front man for The Stompers, working his magic on the variety of guitars he possesses, making sure everyone in the band had every beat together and on cue, while singing the lyrics that most of us were living, just knows.
The rest of the CD will keep you moving. Every song tells a little more of the story. "God Knows" and "Almost September" are both songs of happiness that became a memory with the wanting of that happiness back. "Disconnected" goes into the days of confusion (whether it be from a romance OR due mostly to another popular happening of the 70's and 80's). God knows they were fun times and just thank god, if you are reading this, you survived - some didn't.
"Phone Call" - this is just a phone call - wanting to connect - still disconnected. "Wasted On You" has a good sound, here is where you can see Bruce Springsteen's influence. The big question is - Is it really about a woman? "Let's Rock and Roll" makes you want to jump up and dance, as many of Sal's songs affect you! Good Ol' Fashion - Rock and Roll.
Rock E. ends the CD with "Oh Mercy," a song that gets you thinking. When I hear it I think of a friend I lost a few years ago - is he out past the atmosphere, on the other side looking and watching us?
Well, folks that is my take on Rock E. Rollins - I like it and I think those who have been Sal Baglio fans are not going to be disappointed with this CD. Everyone interprets things differently, I'd love to know what you think.

Missy Bly
Burlington, Vermont Singer-Songwriter
A search of the Internet on the name, Missy Bly, turned up a hit on our very Web site; but that doesn't mean that we know much about her yet. Ethan Covey had this to say about Missy Bly in this week's issue of Seven Days: "Quirky queen Missy Bly is Burlington's most charmingly understated songwriter." Find out a little of why he thinks so in a brief item at

Danny Snow
Boston Country-Rock Drummer
One of the real mysteries of Boston popular music history is the fact that at the same time original-music punk bands were working their way into the city's rock clubs, on the coattails of Willie Alexander and Mickey Clean & the Mezz, a parallel country music community was on the rise in and around the city with many members being in about the same age group as the punks. Last month we heard from one of that era's country practitioners, Danny Snow. He said that he was sometimes known in those days by the nickname Beaver, so if you don't recognize his given name you still may know the guy. Here he is:
"My name is Danny Snow, a New England-born drummer who played out a lot in the days you mentioned on your John Lincoln Wright web page. Two of the groups I co-founded, Beer For Breakfast and Five Cents Extra, most definitely fit into the catogory you mention as contributors to the New England country rock craze that existed in the 1970's and 1980's. Many of the venues we played on a monthly basis were the same establshments that The Sour Mash Boys as well as Cabin Fever and Wheatstraw played."
Danny Snow, First E-Mail Message, November 30, 2003
"During my many years of playing in New England, I worked with literally dozens of groups and hundreds of musicians. Probably the most popular groups I had back then were Beer For Breakfast and Five Cents Extra, though another group I had, named Northstar, consistantly performed several nights a week for a 4 or 5 year stretch. Many of the gigs we played back then were at bars such as Kevin's Corner in Somerville and the Hillbilly Ranch in Boston right near the old combat zone. Some others that come to mind are Alan's Fifth Wheel in Amesbury Ma., The Blue Plate in Holden Ma., Sandy's Lakeside in Dracut Ma., The Del Mar Cafe in Groton Connecticut, Cousin Dave's in Coventry Rhode Island, the Turtle Lounge in Ashland Ma., Indian Ranch in Webster Ma., the Iron Horse in Northampton Ma., and the Paradise in Boston Ma. The list goes on and on. One of the guitar/pedal steel players I worked with for years is named Ducky Bellevue. I believe he is still gigging in New England and works occasionaly with John Lincoln Wright as well as Angela West and Showdown. A big moment for 5 Cents Extra was opening for Bonnie Rait at an outdoor concert at Mt. Sunapee N.H. and a couple of big moments for Beer For Breakfast were playing as Freddy Fender's group for a brief New England tour and opening for Carl Perkins for a three night gig somewhere around Laconia N. H. at a place called The Long Branch Saloon I believe."
Danny Snow, Second E-Mail Message, November 30, 2003
Danny Snow, like a lot of our readers, is now based in Florida. He manages a music store and has a full performance schedule. We've learned that it's hard to shake the music out of a player after he or she has lived it for a few years. We're glad Danny Snow has stuck with music and has done well.
The Cush
I really love the "Club Calendar" section of Burlington Vermont's Seven Days. It's filled with interesting short items about various subjects and acts, many of them closely connected to the Burlington area. Here's a key sentence from just such an item, this one being about The Cush: "The five-piece [band] leads listeners through stinging guitar workouts, sublime shimmers, and stoned wanderings."
www.sevendaysvt.com/m.clubs.html
This week's "Club Calendar" feature also has a nice brief item about Boston's
Jennifer Greer
Performing Songwriter Review of "Jewel Machine"
A while back, we ran a great Dave Madeloni column about Western Massachusetts singer-songwriter Jennifer Greer. Her album, Jewel Machine, is currently featured in the Performing Songwriter magazine's "Top 12 Do-It-Yourself Reviews."
Performing Songwriter notice
Nice notice, too. Brief. Quick and recommended reading.
We had never heard about Greer before looking through Dave's column, so we thank him for educating us.
The Doughboys
Rockin' Middlebury College Professors
The current issue of Seven Days has a fun feature article by Meredith Kernan about a Vermont rock band, The Doughboys, made up almost (but not quite) entirely of Middlebury college professors.
Seven Days feature
The exception is Fred Lower (guitar), a painter and art teacher at Rutland High School. The professors - doctors all - are Steve Abbott (mathematics, lyrics, vocals), Will Nash (American literature, bass), Daniel Scharstein (computer science, drums), and Carlos Velez (psychology, percussion). Shows are pass/fail.
lys guillorn
Lys Guillorn (pronounced Liss Guh-lorn) is a solo acoustic rock singer-songwriter and cowgirl from Wild Western Connecticut. Formerly she was in a band called Jargon Society, and earlier this year she was a member of the River Birds. Her Web site says she makes music "in a mostly unnamed genre." We only learned about her in October; and this is pretty much all we know, at the moment, except for what's on her eponymous debut album - which is a lot.
The Lys Guillorn disc wonderfully balances the art of creating attractive sounds, on the one hand, with a do-it-yourself, highly individualistic approach to writing and arranging, on the other. This recording is a great example, for this listener, of what Sara Cox calls "the must-have music that radio stations hide from you." One thing that is striking throughout the album is the use of fine classic-rock guitar - sometimes electric, at other times acoustic - strummed and picked very softly.
Guillorn seems to have done all the singing, including backing vocals, and she played most of the instruments, including such road-less-traveled things as bells, Magnus chord organ, and melodica. Among the guest players may be found Dean Wareham (Luna, ex-Galaxie 500). Aside from the consistent quietness of the guitars, the music is quite varied, from a traditional-sounding cowboy waltz, as the disc opens, to the pre-British Invasion pop-rock refrain on the same cut ("Steel Pier") and the high psychedelic era sounds of "Counterproductive." Some of the arrangements seem like those that Leonard Cohen might create, if he got the urge to take a limited-budget DiY approach to recording.
The subjects may be a bit different, such as in the song, "Legendary Cowboys."
|
Legendary cowboys Call the yodelers fools. Their headgear isn't cool, And nobody wants them To sing about the precipice And wait for it to return In an echo toward you only. |
Another example - "Kindness kills and kissing tells" - comes from one of the best tracks, "Who's Losing You?", a very light guitar rocker with nice melodic hooks.
"In Sleep" begins with a J. Geils-like organ and later adds near-psychedelic backing vocals. The cuts most likely to stick in the listener's head may be a cover of the Johnny Thunders song, "You Can't Put Your Arms Round a Memory," and the original "Impossible," on which Guillorn practices
Guillorn's debut is filled with strange attractions. It's easily one of the most intriguing albums we received in 2003.
Lys Guillorn, backed by a band, will be opening for Mighty Purple at Toad's Place in New Haven Connecticut on December 27.

A NEMS 2003 Top 10 Album
Paula Kelley started out in a cacophonous alt-rock band, Boston's Drop Nineteens, and has since served in Hot Rod and Boy Wonder. She is a multi-instrumentalist and has an unusual voice, one wrapped in a girl-ish quality that seldom escapes notice. But her 2001 release, Nothing/Everything, hinted at her talent as an arranger, a gift amply confirmed by her latest CD.
With keyboards and background voices, Kelley has created a pop-rock landscape of sonic wonders. "A New Time," which follows a gothic intro, provides the first example with celestial oohs and ahs from the delightful Paula Kelley Choir. It contains the line, "Your love is like a warm August breeze." Not much later, though, the lyrics darken. Another song asks,
|
How many times must I throw the line Before this tiny ship comes crashing to the shore? |
Kelley's melodies and stylings suggest influences from Burt Bacharach, Brian Wilson, and the "girl groups" of the '60s Red Bird record label. Instruments come and go - a harpsichord is on the first two cuts, a vibraphone pops up later. On five tracks, the supportive 20-member PK Orchestra plays accompaniments arranged by Kelley and Matthew Tap.
The Trouble with Success ought to bring smiles to a lot of faces.

Brian Marchese
and His "Sitting Next to Brian"
Gary Carra's "Nightcrawler" column in this week's Valley Advocate has, as its feature item, a notice of the debut release of Brian Marchese (ex-Aloha Steamtrain), Sitting Next To Brian: A Cartoon, A Joke (CD, Rub Wrongways Records, 2003).
Valley Advocate column
"An 11-song outing chock full of quirky compositions and notable cameos," wrote Carra, "Joke is dead serious about delivering melody-soaked pop." Marchese's old band, Aloha Steamtrain, had a late-'60s psychedelic pop sound, and we wonder whether the new solo release is a similar adventure.
The Weepies
Release a CD, Promise Much
"The new Weepies compact disc, Happiness, is now available online, through CDBaby and Folkweb! Purchase your own copy: 8 songs of PURE BLISS! Your family members will listen and while it's on they will all get along so well! Your dog will sigh! Your cats will groom themselves and stare out the
Deb Talan, "'Happiness' Available Online....", December 10, 2003
Well, take it from Deb Talan. She's a Weepie, and she ought to know.
Tom Rush
and His "Trolling for Owls" CD
"Well, the Trolling for Owls CD has turned into a minor hit! We had some trouble for a while keeping up with an unanticipated (but gratifying) flood of orders, but we're back on track. V1.1 is now available. (The content is exactly the same as V1.0, but they're pressed, whereas 1.0 was burned, which means they're less likely to scuff when being stuffed into stockings, for example, and will play better on old machines.) It's still not in stores!!, and won't be for the foreseeable future, and is only available on line and at gigs."
"Tom Rush: OWLS and the Holidays," December 12, 2003
Erin McKeown
Profiled in the Providence Phoenix
The Providence Phoenix quite often has been posted late - sometimes as much as four or five days late - so at times, I'm well out of sync with the paper - or the paper's really out of sync with its online readers. Like now. A couple weeks ago, Bob Gulla had a fine feature about Erin McKeown.
Providence Phoenix column
He's an excellent writer, so likely that piece would have been quite good anyway. But it has something else going for it. Providence is where McKeown got started as a performer, during her Brown University days. So Gulla's profile of the artist begins where she began. It's very much worth checking out; and since McKeown performs in a style that appeals to fans of several genres, I suspect a lot of our readers will want to see it.
Simon and Garfunkel
Steve Morse had an interesting piece about Simon and Garfunkel in Sunday's Boston Globe (Dec. 7). "Simon and Garfunkel," wrote Morse, "make music that doesn't rely on smoke bombs, costume changes, or phony stage theatrics." Good point. I heard the duo at the University of Maine gym. It was a Friday or Saturday - probably Saturday - and the album, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme, was coming out the very next week. It was easily one of the greatest concerts I ever took in. And it was two guys, two stools, three microphones, two guitars - six- and twelve-string - and brilliant performances of terrific songs. What a gimmick!
I have family planning to be at tonight's show, tickets in hand.
The Horror
Sam Pfeifle's "Beat Report" in this week's Portland Phoenix is about The Horror
Portland Phoenix column
a Maine heavy band that seemed to vanish a couple years ago but is now back with a new record, Music To Float to Hell By. "If Float to Hell is any indication, the Horror are not only revived, but inspired. The album is a wonderful amalgam of studio trickery and live passion, melding elements of metal, trance, drum and bass, pop, and rock into an orchestral vision that's as much classical as contemporary." He followed with "I don't make that claim lightly."
Normally, I'd still have more than a few doubts; but Sam Pfeifle has proven to be quite dependable, so an open mind seems the way to go.
Neon Magazine
Winter 2003 Issue
Say, aren't Simon and Garfunkel from New York? Well then, here are their neighbors, the good folks who bring us NYC's punk 'n' roll periodical, Neon Magazine :
"Yeah, it's the new Winter 2003 issue of Neon - and it's free on the web. So save your money and stay warm but still cool by taking a virtual walk on the wild side - shine some Neon light on the NYC music scene with photos and features on:
The A.K.A.s, AeroVox, the Blondes, Inc., Collider, Coppermine, the Dogs, the Everyothers, Fixer, HotSocky, Hurry-Up Offense, Lazy Lane, the 'Lectric Chairs, Lower Lot, Mercury Boy, Orange Park, the Phantoms, Prospect Place, the Spicy Rizzaks, Stupid, the Twelve, the Vanity Set and
"PLUS the latest news, gossip and buzz about:
The Billionaire Boys Club, Booby Trap, Clara Venus, Earlymay, the Everyothers, Evil Jake, David French, Paris Hilton, the Inevitable Breakups, the Minors, the Neverlands, Orange Park, stellastarr*, the Strokes, Tiger Mountain, John Washburn and the Wayward Saints, Weekender, the White Stripes and all the dirt on the bands, sightings and grooves that make New York
"And - the expanded Neon archives with photos, interviews, articles and whatnot from Neon's twenty-five years of banging out the best and the baddest of punk 'n roll.
"Yeah, it is all that - and more."
Nerissa and Katryna Nields
and the New "This Town Is Wrong" CD
"In the spring of 2002, Scholastic Books approached Nerissa [Nields] to write a series of Young Adult books based on her songs. She obliged, and went a step further, creating a soundtrack to go with her first book, which is scheduled for publication in the fall of 2004. Thus, each song on This Town Is Wrong comes from an event within the story of two 13-year old girls - Angela ('Gellie') Riddle and Randi Rankin - who decide they want to become singer-songwriters and make their own rules."
Lauren Calista, Rounder Records Press Release, December 5, 2003
I have an advance copy of the album. Though I've only heard it once (I liked it), I can say that the voices are captured much better this time than on Love and China.
Brief Items
"This January, The Charms will be releasing their new EP, So Pretty. It was recorded with Nick Zampiello and Marc Schleicher at New Alliance Studios - it's raw, sexy, and very hook-y."
Evan Koch, "Primary Voltage Report 2003," December 9, 2003
This week's "Cellars by Starlight" column, "Career Opportunities: George Howard and Kitty Brazelton Show How It's Done," in the Boston Phoenix is an unusual one. But there's one sentence in there, quoted from George Howard, on the subject of getting one's music heard, that's well worth committing to memory. He said, "If there's an essential quality that artists must have, it's an absolute belief that their music must be heard and that they're willing to do everything they can to be sure that [it] happens."
Boston Phoenix column
"This winter, Mass. Hysteria will be back in the studio recording a brand new, yet-to-be-named album for release this Spring. Expect to hear much more about this (and a Spring tour) in the coming months."
Evan Koch, "Primary Voltage Report 2003," December 9, 2003
Monday's Boston Herald reported that the track, "Soft Hand," from the Willard Grant Conspiracy's forthcoming Regard the End (CD, Kimchee, 2004) is included in the soundtrack of the Farrelly brothers' latest comedy, Stuck on You. Last month, Steve Morse of the Boston Globe reported that frontman Robert Fisher of the Willard Grant Conspiracy has moved to California. Evidently he, John Dragonetti, and Blake Hazard foresaw the December 2003 blizzard and fled the region. Why didn't we?
"Favored Nations is making available to you Johnny A.'s recording of the Christmas Classic, 'Sleigh Ride.' This previously unavailable rendition, which is recorded in Johnny's undeniable style, was originally intended as a radio-promotion-only single. But due to the overwhelming interest in this recording it is now available. The CD single also includes the radio hit 'Oh Yeah' from Johnny's debut album Sometime Tuesday Morning."

Pamela Polston, in this week's issue of Burlington Vermont's Seven Days, has a review of Gatekeeper by Archer Mayor, the latest book in the Joe Gunther crime-fiction series.
Seven Days book review
I haven't read Pamela's review, since I hope to write my own sometime after I can get my hands on a copy of the novel. The last Archer Mayor book, The Sniper's Wife (actually a dark Willie Kunkel story), was his best ever, and there's quite a waiting list for this one at my town's library. This could take a while. Meanwhile, Pamela is a marvelous writer, and her notice is available at the above address through maybe mid-afternoon Wednesday.
Seven Days also has a short item about the all-female Boston world music ensemble Libana.
Seven Days item
Part of it says, "With wide-ranging vocals, lively dance steps, and incredible instrumentals, these lyrical ladies give voice to the rich diversity and commonality of the human experience."
This appears in the "Sibilance" column in the current issue of the Portland Phoenix: "Adam Flaherty dropped Citrus, his second full-length, this week. Look for a review in 'The Beat Report' at some soon point."
Portland Phoenix column
In a sizeable item about the Connecticut band Fuzz
Hartford Advocate column
Thomas Pizzola wrote that, since taking over the Hartford Advocate's "Local Motion" column over a year ago, "I've learned that original music isn't treasured as much as cover bands or DJs. But, when it comes to original music there are several genres that draw more of a crowd than others. Funk happens to be one of them."
Interesting.
