(White Town is a British one-man band consisting of Indian-born Jyoti
Mishra. He discussed ways to convert old recording gear into a lo-fi
home recording studio, which was the method used to record the album
_Women In Technology_, in the 3/15/97 issue of Melody Maker. BTW,
White Town was the fourth artist in the history of the British charts
to have their first single debut at #1 on the pop chart. Jyoti had
actually been making music since 1990, with records being released
through Urbana, IL-based Parasol. "Your Woman" was originally released
on Parasol as a 7" single. Their remaining stock was bought up by EMI
and used for promotional material in the UK.)
(The following quote is from a review written by Dave Simpson for
The Guardian: "Depending on your take on it, `Your Woman' is either
an exercise in role reversal akin to Prince's `If I Was Your Girlfriend'
or, equally peculiarly, an unrequited love song to a lesbian Marxist
luvvie.")
(of course, I'm sure that's WAY more than anyone ever wanted to know
about a [currently] one-hit wonder. if not, follow the references.)
(POI: The Lilith Fair winter tour is currently underway. as far as the
1998 tour goes, Sarah does not plan to add any male leads to the tour.
there will be expansion beyond the woman-with-guitar/pop/folk genre,
as Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot and comedian Ana Gasteyer are slated
to appear at several dates. Sarah also says that the tour will play
some of the same cities that were part of the first tour, but with
entirely different acts, the one constant being Sarah.)
(there was an excellent episode of VH1's "Behind The Music" that
covered the Lilith Fair tour from beginning to middle. I'm not sure
when it's showing next, though.)
