If you can't possibly get enough information about Phish, the band's history, and its breakup, then the scales are tipping in your favor and the Boston Sunday Globe is the paper for you. Though Phish is fin-ished, band members aren't off the hook quite yet. Anyway, feast on these Globe offerings:
Of course, Phish's last splash isn't the region's only show. This very weekend, the Newport Folk Festival is holding forth. For a really fine review of the festival through Saturday, turn to Daniel Gewertz's contribution to Sunday's Boston Herald.
Boston Herald music review
"Midway through the first day of the Newport Folk Festival," wrote Gewertz, "the event reached an enviable but slightly crazed condition: There was just too much must-see music to choose between. As is typical of this fest, much of the music couldn't quite be defined as folk. The only thing it had in common? It was all good." I doubt anyone would characterize Gewertz's writings as humorous, but this notice is lightly touched with comical observations.

On Saturday, Pedro Martinez set a new Boston Red Sox record of sixty-nine games with ten or more strikeouts. He pitched seven strong innings and won the game. We no longer have to worry or even talk about the recent "tweaking" of his hip, and his comments to the press, whether following a win or a loss, have been a delight. Saturday was a great day to be a Sox fan. Go Pedro!
Do you know the name of the parent company of a 1980s Boston/Maine music publication called Sweet Potato? If not, do you know the names of anyone who held the job title of publisher? If you can answer either question, please get in touch by way of the following Web page:
www.geocities.com/nemsbook/naty.htm
One of our regular correspondents is trying to get a sense of who if anyone represents current ownership of Sweet Potato copyrights.
The Sweet Potato editor, a fine music journalist named Richard Cromonic, died in an apartment building fire about a dozen years ago.
We have scanned images of New England music acts, for use in our newsletter's Current Illustration feature (Web-page version), going back from the 1990s to the 1960s and maybe even earlier. But we come up really short when it comes to new acts and current record releases. The ideal scanned image would include both a picture and the name of the act. That's one reason why we post a lot of record covers.
The act's name is pretty much essential. We have posted a number of covers, though, which show something other than the artist or band in question. The cover of the debut Rings album, for instance, shows a swimming pool with a hula hoop floating in it. The hula hoop and its shadow

Stu Kimball :
Stuck in Dylan's Band with the Boston Blues Again
A couple weeks ago, the "Cellars by Starlight" column in the Boston Phoenix featured Bostonian Stu Kimball, a one-time member of Face to Face. That piece carried the story of Kimball's new gig, touring as a member of Bob Dylan's band. Unfortunately, Kimball couldn't be reached at the time, and the column was quite general in nature. In yesterday's (Friday's) "Rock Notes" column, the Boston Globe's Steve Morse picked up the theme, with an excellent lead item about Kimball.
Boston Globe column
"After years of paying his Boston dues," wrote Morse, "guitarist Stu Kimball has recently been hired to back Bob Dylan on tour. Translation: Kimball has suddenly moved up from playing the Lizard Lounge and Toad in Cambridge to playing Bonnaroo and wherever else Dylan's so-called 'Never Ending Tour' goes. He has done 30 shows so far and got to jam with Rolling Stone Ron Wood when Wood jumped up one night with Dylan."
Highly recommended reading.
muck and the mires
We got further information from several sources about the victory of Muck and the Mires at New York in the Battle of the Garage Bands contest. It seems that because of a scheduling conflict, the group was unable to compete in Boston and got signed up, instead, for the Providence contest, which the Mires won. So this Worcester group, representing the city of Providence, went on to the New York competition which, as we now know, was the national finals.
Word going around is that some judges really loved The Blackouts while others - and maybe even some of the same judges - thought that Muck and the Mires was more in keeping with the garage rock spirit. The panel of judges was deadlocked and a tie resulted. So, the Blackouts and Muck and the Mires are Battle of the Garage Bands co-champions.
Evan of Muck and the Mires told us this by e-mail: "The contest has already opened up a lot of doors for us, not the least of which is the MTV2 special airing on Saturday [today]."
Luanne picked up the following information. I didn't notice what was the original source, but this piece appears to have run right after the Muck and the Mires Providence victory:
"Muck and the Mires have been crowned Providence's best garage band in the Underground Garage Battle of the Bands. Twenty area bands competed during the three night competition at Providence's The Call nightclub April 29-30/May 1. From five finalist bands, Muck and the Mires emerged victorious. Arriving on stage in matching red dress shirts and black pants, the look and sound of the band was clearly influenced by the iconic fab four '64 Beatles. Dunkin' Donuts and Little Steven created the contest to discover and reward the country's most talented garage bands and emphasize the importance of raw rock 'n' roll.
"Composed of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Joey Muccarino, lead guitarist Brian Mire, drummer Jessie Best and bassist Frankie Mire, Muck and the Mires were favored by judges Peppy Castro, lead guitarist of The Blues Magoos, Kevin Stevenson, lead singer of The Shods, and John Luongo, record producer for bands such as Queen, Aerosmith, Van Halen and Cheap Trick."
"Along with the Beatles, Muck and Mires cite The Ramones, The Dave Clark Five, and Gerry & The Pacemakers as influencers on their music. Even before winning the event, the band commented, 'it is an honor to be picked from so many bands to do this. It is a great opportunity to meet other musicians with similar musical taste and excellent exposure for all of the bands.'"
The Love Dogs
Tonight at the Acton Jazz Café
"Sat [August 7] we [The Love Dogs] return to one of our favorite places in the whole wide world, the Acton Jazz Café 978 263-6161. This intimate club is a jewel on the metro-west landscape, featuring excellent food and music six nights a week. Owner Gwenn Vivian is not only a tireless proponent of live music, but also a top-notch pianist herself, and she personally sees to it that everyone has a great time at the Café - we always do!"

"Save the Date," August 1, 2004
....................Luanne's Corner....................
Last weekend was a great music weekend for me. First, I went out Friday night to see one of the best bands in southern NH, Mama Kicks at Whippersnappers in Londonderry. For those of you who haven't heard of Mama Kicks, well, the lead singer is Lisa Guyer. She has played in many bands, but also had a Lisa Guyer Band with Barry Goudreau of Boston playing on guitar, as well as other cool veteran musicians. On keyboards, you'll find Gardner Berry, a very talented guy who played in many bands as well, hailing The Wicked Big Band, The Four Amigos, Four Sticks - just to name a few. And sitting behind the drums - the percussion man - David Stefanelli. It seems everyone knows David! He has played with many bands, such as Peter Wolf, Red Peters, The Beloved Few, Four
Saturday brought my favorite concert, that usually comes once a year. I went to Hampton Beach to see two of my all-time favorite Boston bands - The Fools and The Stompers. Now, I go to a lot of concerts featuring some big names - but no matter what my summer concert line-up may be, I know for a fact, that these two bands are gonna rock my world. And rock my world they did. They have for over 25 years! These veteran musicians really know how to get a crowd going - singing and dancing and just plain having fun! And I did it all - to the max. After the Stompers were on, well I was up dancing and carrying on like I had been every time I have seen the band. I actually lost my voice for two days! Was it a good time? You tell me. No - I'll tell you Yes! I suggest anytime you see these bands playing - GO - Get out and just GO!
I have a few other great bands that have been playing out to share with you, like Charlie Farren and Farrenheit - The Tom Hambridge Band - Rock E. Rollins - Jon
Rock on and keep having a great summer. It will be gone before we know!

'Cause He's The Junkman, Yeah Yeah
The Junkman
Easily the most amazing notice of any sort we've seen this week is a record review by Rebecca Gollin in Burlington, Vermont's Seven Days of Junk Music 2 (CD, The Moo Group, 2004) by The Junkman. Evidently the Junkman serves as a recycling spokesperson for the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. I'm a Vermonter and recycle like crazy, but this is the first I've heard of him. Maybe he doesn't preach to the converted. At any rate, this fellow is a percussionist who beats on a wide array of junked articles, all the while producing wonderful sounds of music. Speaking of an extended composition called "Surfer at the River Styx," which was commissioned by famed choreographer Twyla Tharp, Gollin wrote, "It is by far the most evocative piece of the bunch, a meandering, seven-part journey that begins innocently, with a light beat and gentle chiming, and grows into an oceanic roar before easing into the gentle lullaby with which the Junkman smoothly delivers listeners back to solid ground."
If you are to read only one record review this week (not counting ours, of course), you needn't look any further.
Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault
Singer-songwriter gossip is not one of our areas of specialty. But Thursday morning, I found in our site statistics that someone had accessed one of our pages, having searched the Web on
kris delmhorst and jeffrey foucault marriage
Woo woo! As fate would have it, a few hours later I found that the lead item in Sheryl Hunter's Greenfield Recorder column this week is about Redbird, a side-project band made up of Delmhorst, Foucault, and Peter Mulvey, with David Goodrich as the side project's sideman. In the same issue of the recorder is a feature about Jeffrey Foucault which, among much else, says he moved to Greenfield last November. Now, our newsletter issue that ran in the first week of December reported that Kris Delmhorst had just moved to the Pioneer Valley. So we're thinking maybe this could be our opportunity, after all, to branch out into the newly-popular singer-songwriter gossip field.
Meanwhile, there's great stuff in the Diversions pull-out section of Thursday's Greenfield Recorder. It's well worth taking a look if you can get your hands on a copy of Thursday's Recorder.
New England Pop Music Festival
"We are proud to announce the schedule for The New England Pop Music Festival. This year's festival, NE PopFest 2004, includes some of the best bands from several different parts of New England, covering a range of pop music styles.
"The scheduled performers include Dave Aaronoff & The Details, Arthur Ape's Leaky Cello, Auto Interiors, The Crybabies, The Allen Devine Group, Din, Girl On Top, Rosie Huntress, International Pen Pal, Robin Lane, The Marlowes, The Ray Mason Band, my own worst enemy, Muck & The Mires, The Brett Rosenberg Problem, The Rudds, The StereoBirds, and The Shellye Valauskas Experience.
"This year's New England Pop Music Festival will be held September 9, 10, and 11 at The Abbey Lounge in Somerville, MA. There will be six bands per night, each of which will play a full (approximately 40 minute) set.

Chris Kleeman and Bob Stannard :

Robert Resnik's record review in this week's Seven Days out of Burlington, Vermont is about Made in Vermont: Live Performances from Obscure But Popular Places (CD, self-released, 2004). Resnik wrote, "On their first joint
Twinemen :
A Band Into Its Own Groove
One of the most interesting items this week is a paragraph about The Twinemen in a Boston Phoenix notice written by Brett Milano.
Boston Phoenix notice
Milano summed up this way: "In their early years, the band sounded like Morphine Mark II; but with a second album in the can, they've found their own groove pretty much on schedule."
The main acts featured in Milano's notice are Concrete Blonde and the Drive-By Truckers.

Señor Happy :
Well Above the Local Pop Pack
In a three-star review of I'm Sorry by Señor Happy, Ted Drozdowski, in the current issue of the Boston Phoenix, had this to say about band members: "Their charismatic blend of hooks, harmony and unison vocals, and guitars that chime and growl on command raises them well above the local pop pack and gives them a gleeful, propulsive sound even when the stories they spin have small, dour edges."
Boston Phoenix record review
I couldn't tell from Drozdowski's review whether I'm Sorry would be for me necessarily, but it did sound as though a lot of people are likely to enjoy this album.
Festival of Cultural Exchange
Today and Tomorrow at Portland, Maine
Downtown Portland, Maine is the site for a first-ever Festival of Cultural Exchange today (Saturday) and tomorrow. In his weekly Portland Phoenix column, Sam Pfeifle said the producers have "thrown bones to just about every fan contingent you can find in Portland, except for the punk/metal crowd, and they've gathered a great group of local musicians to represent Portland and Maine to the thousands of folks who'll come to see what the international fuss is all about."
Portland Phoenix column
It's not always easy to get interested in a first-time festival some distance from home and featuring a mix of acts including some whose names are unfamiliar. But Pfeifle pulled together a really fine column that gives a solid sense of those things in this festival that are cause for excitement.
A Music Columnist
in Tireless Pursuit of the Region's Show Listings
This week's column by Dave Madeloni in our local newspaper, the Brattleboro Reformer, is about his unflagging efforts to check every show listing in the Southern Vermont and Western Massachusetts areas in search of events and performers that would be of particular interest to his readers.
Brattleboro Reformer column
I know from personal experience, being based in the same part of New England, that this task can range from a piece of cake (the Windham in Bellows Falls, Vermont sends us e-mail text, e-mail attachment, and hardcopy schedules) to nearly impossible (a few weeks ago, I had a colorful but, alas, unsuccessful experience trying to get on Peg Eves' mailing list).
Dave's column gives a sense of the number and diversity of music entertainment venues here in Western New England, and it also gives a great sense of his dedication to the interests of his readers. One might notice, for instance, that he covers a considerable piece of terrain by New England standards.
Dave contributed a fine column this week that could be of particular interest to musicians who are considering trying to get booked into Southern Vermont or Western Massachusetts and are interested in learning what venues are out there.
noam weinstein
We first learned about Noam Weinstein from his frequent collaborator, Jess Tardy. And since that time, we have become acquainted with Weinstein mostly from being on his mailing list. One of the main things we've picked up from that experience is that, in addition to being an accomplished songwriter, this cat has one strange sense of humor, which he indulges on his latest disc. Weinstein's music fits neatly into the all-over-the-place genre, Probably Human having about the same focus as, say, the Beatles' Revolver. (In other words, not a heck of a lot of focus.) But we like diversity in listening matter, so we're happy. And it's worth adding that the Beatles did okay, commercially, with Revolver.
The songs on Probably Human range from whispery to wacky, with wacky often getting the upper hand. In a manner of speaking, Weinstein's broad range of sounds is something like a demo for an original cast recording of a musical play waiting to be written. Maybe he does have a musical in
As wide-ranging as Probably Human is, the first artists of reference suggested by the music - the Beatles, Leonard Cohen, and Bob Dylan - aren't tremendously far apart. A couple of Weinstein's softer numbers, such as "Something Falling," sound melodically as though they could fit onto the Beatles' "White Album" or even one of John Lennon's solo LPs. Weinstein's lyrics sometimes feature disparate phrases that the listener could connect in many different ways, somewhat like vintage Dylan verses. But the comparison artist who came to mind first and most often is Leonard Cohen, with his eccentric and often dark humor. In "Pushing Sixty in the Breakdown Lane," a light though percussive rocker, Weinstein sings,
|
In the gutter where all the spirits meet It sounds like a river, but it smells like your feet. |
Cohenesque? A few of Weinstein's tunes have a feel that's quite similar to the more country- and rock-oriented songs of Leonard C.
"Now and Then," the opening track, at first sounds moody and introspective, introduced by a lightly picked guitar which is followed by a spare band arrangement with stellar backing vocals by Jess Tardy on the refrain. Weinstein's words start drifting askew from the very beginning:
|
There's no time like the present For dwelling on the past |
and range deeper into left field in other parts of the album. When all is taken into account - material, arrangement, performance, sonics - "Now and Then" is my favorite cut. But when considering compositions on just their own merits, I favor "Satisfied," which comes with a lovely wash of organ notes and lines such as
|
With all the shadows hanging on the wall You shouldn't be hard to find at all. |
"Satisfied" is a song of few words, much like many of the best works of Morphine's Mark Sandman.
The disc ends with "Something Falling," a quiet performance featuring just Weinstein and his old guitar.
Weinstein's marvelous band, in addition to himself on guitar and vocals, includes drummer Mike Piehl, electric bassist Lou Ulrich, Tyler Wood on keyboards, plus notable guests. These are evidently highly skilled and versatile musicians who are quite capable of putting some real rock kick into their playing. It would be fantastic to hear them cut loose. "Now and Then," performed live by Weinstein and this band, ought to be amazing.

Tanya Donelly
To Record Live Album at the Windham in Late August
"On Friday and Saturday, August 27 and 28, The Windham is thrilled to present Tanya Donelly in two very unique in-studio performances. In these two intimate concerts, Donelly returns to Bellows Falls to record her next CD of new, never-before-heard songs in front of a live studio audience. If you missed her at Rock in Rockingham last year, don't miss Donelly in this truly one-of-a-kind concert experience. Joining Tanya onstage will be special guests Bill Janovitz and Chris Toppin. Doors open at 7pm, and tickets are $20 in advance or $22 at the door."
"The Windham Announces August Concert Lineup," August 3, 2004
Tanya Donelly has a new album, Whiskey Tango Ghost (CD, 4AD, 2004). I've enjoyed following Donelly's career since the early days of her '80s band, Throwing Muses, when the group had one lone hard-to-find tape. I must say, though, that I found few points of interest in this week's "Cellars by Starlight" column in the Boston Phoenix, though the entire column is dedicated to Donelly.
Boston Phoenix column
Worse yet, "Cellars" is divided into two Web pages - among my least favorite online publishing practices.
I'm including a link here as a courtesy to Donelly's many followers. If you're a devoted fan, of course you're going to want to read this week's "Cellars" column. For the rest of us, though, our time might be better spent arguing about the Nomar Garciaparra trade, puzzling over the Celtics latest trade, or taking part in the many joys of this election year.

Don Law
Seeks to Lower Concert Ticket Prices
On Tuesday, Steve Morse contributed a piece to the Boston Globe bearing the headline, "Law Goes Global in Bid To Cut Concert Ticket Prices."
Boston Globe article
"Law," in the headline, refers to Don Law, who goes all the way back to the Boston Tea Party era of New England rock 'n' roll and may be best known hereabouts as the proprietor of the Don Law Company and Tea Party Concerts.
I had already seen an article or two on this subject via Yahoo News, but the Steve Morse piece is clearer and more interesting. One of the points of interest is that Clear Channel is trying to bring down prices of tickets for some of the bigger concert tours. But this same article quotes Gary Bongiovanni, the editor of the trade magazine Pollstar, in a way that attributes much of the rise in prices, in recent years, to Clear Channel. In short, the Clear Channel folks may be trying to fix a problem largely of their own creation.
Recommended reading for anyone interested in the business side of the entertainment world.
Brief Items
Daniel Gewertz contributed a very fine preview of the 2004 Newport Folk Festival to Friday's Boston Herald.

Though we didn't find a single representative passage to quote here, it's a piece that we enthusiastically recommend.
Maine's Kennebunk Coffeehouse is celebrating its 5th anniversary. In honor of that event, and benefitting the coffeehouse, on September 30, Cornmeal Records will release The Best of 5 (CD, Cornmeal Records, 2004). For details, visit
Portland Phoenix column
The last-ever Phish concert, which is to be held at Coventry, Vermont, is to be broadcast live, according to an E! Online feature article by Josh Grossberg.
E! Online article
I found this piece at the last minute and haven't had a chance to look through it. Yesterday (Friday), I read an Associated Press piece. Though coming from a more authoritative source, the AP item was very difficult to follow. It's hard to imagine that this one could be any less clear. So there you go.
Duke and the Drivers headline today's Onset Blues Festival. Other acts on the bill include the Blue Gills, the Shirley Lewis Experience, Sugar Ray Norcia & the Bluetones, and the Racky Thomas Band. For details, visit
Providence Phoenix column
Eric Green has a full-length CD in the works for a fall release, featuring "an all-star cast of Bangor, Maine, musicians."
Portland Phoenix column
We've been hearing fantastic things about a Boston folk band, Crooked Still. We have commented quite favorably, ourselves, on a couple members, both in connection with another great Boston outfit, the Wayfaring Strangers. Danielle Dreilinger's review of Hop High (CD, Footprint, 2004) by Crooked Still sheds no new light.
Boston Globe record review
Its value is mostly in adding another voice in support of raves from Scott Alarik and Mark Erelli.
Early this week, the Boston Globe's "Go!" column had a fascinating though probably mostly fictional account by Linda Viens of her current band, Bad Saints. I copied the link here so as to get me back to that piece when I started work on this newsletter. Unfortunately, I seem to have copied the wrong link. I'm mentioning this here against the possibility some of our readers are interested and may be able to pull the hardcopy Globe out of recycling or someplace.
