My favorite rockapella group Betty, who even made it into Kristen McCloy's mediocre woman-woman romance novel ("Some Girls") two years ago. They are anything but mediocre, however....Go Betty
My favorite Elvis Costello site, also doubtless the most comprehensive.Warner Bros. Elvis stuff. Michael Aita's essays including Elvis essays....aka "trouble right here in geocities..." grin
Fountains of Wayne, are they too mainstream for Katja? You decide. She likes them, guilty pleasure or not.
Do you know how fast you were going? The Gadjits, truly amazing midwestern post-punk ska.
Toshi Reagon, daughter of Bernice Reagon of Sweet Honey in the Rock, is a wonderful artist in her own right who taught me to sing "inna" instead of "into."
Sarah Vaughan..... a homepage here at Geocities devoted to her...biography info, courtesy of the Blue Note, which I could never afford to visit when I lived in New York....sigh
Billie Holiday, any words would be insufficient. The requisite comprehensive site and the Coffee 'N' Stuff page on BourbonStreet, my old geocities neighborhood...when there was such a thing at geocities...sigh.
k.d. lang, I have yet to see Salmonberries, and who can explain that, given its great reputation? Good luck finding that one at Blockbuster, Katja... Her official webpage.
The Nina Simone Web.
Can you believe this site was the second site on the 'web? Boggles the mind. Lou Reed, Poi Dog Pondering, Alanis Morisette.
An artist I have just discovered recently, the smooth-voiced Catie Curtis.
Sweet sweet Betty and the sweeter Terri Hendrix.
A little info on Jimmy Scott--I guess I am part of the "new generation" that has rediscovered this unique artist...
Cry Cry Cry, you won't when you hear them...despite the fact that it's also a Johnny Cash song (hey, I kind of like him too actually).
Clove, Pennsylvania herbology.
Yes, I'm still secretly nineteen or in the 19...'s. Squeeze.
Ohhhhh. Sammie and Rosie and my heart's aflutter. TheFine Young Cannibals.
Unplugged "she blinded me with science" is amazing from Bill Parsons.
The Specials...yes boys and girls, I have actually heard them (like many of the other artists on this page of course) with my own little ears. All-Music Guide info.
This group was in my bones and....Belly before they even were one (when some of them were Throwing Muses and not even getting in trouble for it). Two sites with discography and mailing list.
Mister Lambretta's Modern world of ska. Interesting Caucasian dancing....grin
Hey, aren't you Caucasian, Katja? Okay, okay, among other things... The Rude Moods Ska page for me and all my ilk.
Less Than Jake...Florida ska...and their old webpage, that has some cool stuff on it but is no longer updated.
WHEW! Talk about obsessive. the Tori Amos Shrine listing a number of other websites on Torrrrri....good luck and may the road rise to meet ye...
So....you going to the Iowa Women's Music Festival? Should be some good.
Still haven't looked at the Lilith Fair page since, like me, you didn't get to go? Get over it and check it out, probably some interesting leavings still there.
Takin' me back to my college days....Boston's Bim Skala Bim.
Ya tired of ska yet? Nah? I didn't think so....The English Beat homepage and mailing list by SirLou...his homepage, linked from it, also provides an eclectic music fan hours of surfing pleasure.
My beloved Washington Squares. Calling it folk is like calling oysters and caviar a snack.
Jane Siberry, chilly queen of the Canadian air.
The incomparable Joan Armatrading. Sample her music here. Info about her at Harmony Music. Reviews of her albums...The question being which to buy first. The Ectophile's Guide interesting Joan listing.
Tanita Tikaram, known for odd lyrics but a haunting voice nonetheless, and South Pacific folk like Tanita and me have to stick together. The Tanita site at Harmony Ridge Music.
Oh formerly Prince, formerly Prince, you've been awfully hard on your websites lately... but we still love U 'Nuff said. Or maybe... a little more?
Alan's Prince page is also good 2 U.
Cheryl Wheeler, whose song "Arrow" is one of the most beautiful things in this world of ours. Her quasi-official homepage.
TRACY Chapman. Dave Ribiero's Tracy page here at Geocities.
Ahh. Susan Court. A must-listen for all the foundlings and fundelings inside us (actually, I would like mine to be a "trust fundling" but no such luck...).
Devo. Evolution takes a turn on its heel right here.
In case you didn't know that I am no young thing...Ziggy Stardust. I know you won't like this, but it's the gospels to me.
Ferron and FerronWeb. Was it in Your higher wisdom that You turned Your light from me? Psalms never sounded better.....
musical laughter The inimitable Blondie. Always touched by your presence, dear....
Big grin What would an eclectic music links page be without cynical ex-misogynist Tonio K? Check out his latest album, at long last available from Gadfly Records.
Jamie Dwyer's webpage links for women in music.
I know how sick you are of hearing how much I miss New York. WNYU's TunnelOne is the place for ska.
XPN of U Penn is where I buy most of my music.
Eric Broome's Gondola Webpage ...
Most excellent Trouser Press music encyclopedia, where I steal all my opinions. Sad but true.
Internet music experiences....
