The err... old school queen: Amália Rodrigues For the new school, start with both Mísia [singing since 1990; new album is "Canto"; also try "Ritual", "Paixões Diagonais", "Garras dos Sentidos" etc. -- don't confuse her with the Japanese Misia (no accent, _not_ fado)] and Mariza (singing since 1999; albums "Fado em mim" & "Fado Curvo"). Continue on with Dulce Pontes (try "O Primeiro Canto" w/ Wayne Shorter & Trilok Gurtu), Cristina Branco, and while not always entirely fado, Madredeus. -Patrick NP: Lily Chou-Chou - "Kokyu"

Amalia Rodrigues (not "Rodriguez", she's portuguese) is definitely the goddess of Fado. If you want some "fresh blood", Mariza is the one to choose. She's becoming very popular at the moment. Also, I HIGHLY recommend Madredeus (Teresa Salgueiro on voice). Its not exactly the traditional fado (fado usually only has guitars if I'm not mistaken), but fado influenced. Their music is amazing. Her voice and the instruments make a sweet orgy of melody and sound. They are (or were at some stage) the most successful portuguese band outside their country.

Lurie + archive.org
by Matt S 22 Nov '03

22 Nov '03

Lurie's show was originally on IFC. The series itself is very entertaining and I highly recommend watching all the episodes (the soundtrack is enjoyable too). BUT, maybe the best thing is Lurie's commentary track. It is hilarious and gives a whole new insight into the series. In other news .. I posted the following message to The Big Takeover list and thought some of you might like to see it as well ... if you're getting it twice, I apologize. Pretty safe to say that everyone on this list loves good music. Some even are rabid collectors, of official releases and live shows... I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a great resource out there for sharing live shows, one that is sorely underused. It is www.archive.org/audio Basically, it is offering to store and make available online forver all the live shows you can upload, provided the artist approves first. That's it. Once the artist gives the OK, let freedom reign! I have no affiliation with this site but just think it is fantastic and should be bursting with shows of interest to all. Yes, for now it is mostly jambands that are participating, but any band can take part... Fortunately a handful of bands discussed on this list are already involved: Spoon, Billy Bragg, Minutemen, Godspeed YBE, Fugazi and more.. and if you get involved and get your favorite band's approval, then that list will just grow and grow... Putting aside JZ's specific stance on live taping, other artists discussed here surely would be happy to have their shows included... If you have any questions (?), feel free to contact me.. _________________________________________________________________ Say goodbye to busy signals and slow downloads with a high-speed Internet connection!

RE:Tzadik/Maya Deren questions
by maurizio suppo 22 Nov '03

22 Nov '03

- - I was just wondering if anybody had had a chance to listen to the following new Tzadik releases: Kayo Dot, Chien-Yin-Chen, Muna Zul and Ted Reichmann. Any comments? - - i have the chance to listen KAYO DOT and i am disappointed.... this release suffer same problem of MAUDLIN OF THE WELL albums... it is so weak.... it's sort of an hybrid between post metal/rock and AVANT prog sounds... definitely nothing special i think... there are many mores better bands in so called experimental rock/metal field... expecially outside u.s.a. why zorn don't consider bands(and their side projects) like:ATROX(monika edvarsen),SOLEFALD,CRYPTOPSY,PECCATUM,THE PROVENANCE,DARTH VEGAS,SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM,CEPHALIC CARNAGE,MESHUGGAH etc....? i think that i am tired of all this called post rock-post metal - - Also, I'm thinking of ordering a Maya Deren DVD called "Experimental Films" which was released last year. I haven't seen any of her films but I'm quite curious after Zorn's soundtrack for "In the mirror...". - - BUY IT! maya deren made great cinematic poetry and movie art....

what FX is Laswell using currently?
by Andrew Mortensen 22 Nov '03

22 Nov '03

I'm just curious as to what FX is Laswell using currently? I'm mainly asking this after hearing the Painkiller in NYC 2003 w/ Mike Patton as guest & Hamid Drake. Laswell's FX sound quite different from the Mick Harris days. He has more a fuzz than a distortion.... anyone know? (happen to be @ the show & see his stuff) thanks Andrew np: Marclay / Moore / Renaldo - "Fuck Shit Up"

Fado singers
by simoncalle＠tutopia.com 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

The most important fado singer is Amalia Rodriguez. She is considered the fado queen, a figure similar to the one of Billie Holliday in jazz. If you want something more contemporary you can try Misia. Simon Calle
