All: Somehow, my subscription to this list lapsed, and I've no idea how to re-up, but I still have this address and am confident that this message will reach you regardless of it not reaching ME. Anyway, I just accepted a job offer to teach in FL and will be moving out of the northeast US as of August 1, so I now have to sell the tickets I've purchased for concerts in August and July (the latter because I am saving all my current job's vacation time for moving maneuvers). Anyhow, here's what I have: A pair of tickets to see Elvis Costello at Lincoln Center, NYC, on July 13 A pair of tickets to see Elvis Costello at Lincoln Center, NYC, on July 17 Weekend passes for two to the year's Newport Folk Festival in RI on the weekend of August 7-8. Lineup includes, among others, Wilco, Lucinda Williams, Doc Watson, Steve Earle. Weekend passes for two to the year's Newport Jazz Festival in RI on the weekend of August 14-15. Lineup includes, among others, ORNETTE COLEMAN (WHICH IS REASON ENOUGH TO ATTEND AND ALMOST TEMPTING ENOUGH FOR ME TO RESCIND MY ACCEPTANCE OF THE JOB OFFER), Dave Douglas, Dave Brubeck, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland, etc. etc. etc. It's the 50th anniversary for Newport Jazz, so they're pulling out all stops and making it the biggest lineup ever. It kills me to miss it. Merely go to _www.festivalproductions.net_ (http://www.festivalproductions.net) for more details. Please contact me off-list if interested. Thanks, Tom PS: Anything going on in the Zornworld I should know about?

French Pop/Dictionary
by Tosh 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

That's a very good question! Probably the closest thing one can find are the AMG all music Guides on the internet as well as smaller sites on the Net. But I for one would love to have such a volume! Once awhile you may want to check out my website time-to-time. Because when I have the chance I go via the net and book sources to find information about certain French artists. Also, are there any plans for a book on French pop/rock/avant music? -- Tosh Berman TamTam Books http://www.tamtambooks.com

french pop/rock encyclopedia?
by Maarten Hepp 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

Hello, I have been playing my Brigitte Fontaine CDs a lot lately. As I would like to know more about french popular music, I was wondering if there is a good encyclopedia of french pop and rock music? I do not really care which language it is in, as long as it has entries on people like Brigitte Fontaine, Boby Lapointe and other weird or avantgarde singers/bands (preferably next to entries on mainstream artists). Can anyone recommend a title? Maarten Hepp mhepp(a)xs4all.nl

CDs for sale, etc.
by Taylor McLaren 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

Well, a couple of other people are doing it, so here's another list of stuff that I'd like to get out of the apartment: http://cwoweb2.bai.ne.jp/~jge01101/ Also, in the interest of saying something that people might actually care about, the CD shop at japanimprov.com is finally available in English (more or less: they're only selling Japanese releases this way at present, which isn't much of a limitation for most potential customers), and their service is pretty darned speedy... I placed an order on Friday morning, and it was delivered to my door in Osaka on Saturday night. Finally, thank you for not being the Coil list. -me
