I might be if (a) the ticket prices are within my impoverished student
budget, and (b) he's not playing orchestral selections from "Heaven and
Hell" or something like that..

re: Chantal's currently played radio single-- I agree with Mark, but haven't
heard the rest of the album. She sounds like she has a lot of potential..

What's the schedule for that ensemble? I never seem to see it coming, but
I enjoy all the shows I go to.

I just saw _Brassed Off_ the other day: a pretty good film about a
coalminer's brass band going for a title and the social issues surrounding
Britain's coal mining industry. Extremely enjoyable from a musical, as well
as social standpoint...

Except for those who've heard Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping" one
too many times.. (the spoken intro at the beginning of that song
is taken from "Brassed Off", otherwise the music has no relation..)
It was entertaining but I wouldn't call it a stellar example of the
British unemployment film (which is a whole genre unto itself..)

Loudon Wainright III is apparently opening for Shawn Colvin at the Michigan
Theater sometime in the near future. I've been a fan of this guy for a long
time, ever since my copy editor at the newspaper introduced me to him.
Richard Thompson has guested on several of his albums, which ought to impress
Ken...

Also, starting April 8, the Broadway hit _Rent_ will be at the Fisher Theater
in Detroit. This modern rendition of Puccini's _La Boheme_ has some really
good tunes.

Former firehose bassist Mike Watt will be at the Blind Pig Tuesday, May 19
(doors open at 9:30P) plugging his new project.

Actually what Mike Watt should be remembered for is playing bass in the
minutemen. Firehouse was a rather pathetic followup to that band IMO
and showed that D. Boon was the one with the telent in the minutemen.

I believe it's not "firehose" (as in #389) or "Firehouse" (#390)
but "fIREHOSE"

Although I do have a rather anonymous-looking second-hand tape by a band
called Firehouse. It's rather anonymous-sounding 80's rock.

Yeah fIREHOSE, is right they are better than Firehouse which is bad synth pop
if I rember right where as fIREHOSE is bad post-punk.

Yeah, Firehouse was an early 90s glam-metal band. Somewhat different than
fIREHOSE...

Mr. Watt will be performing his "rock opera" _Contemplating the Engine Room_
which, If memory serves, is about his father.
