Hot Potato

Black Widow

I’ve completely fallen in love with this girl. I didn’t know anything about her… I pick up one record, then another, then a third… I guess I’ll grab the rest too. From what little I can gather, she’s surrounded by typical total bad luck both in her private life and professionally. Last-minute publications and missed opportunities, ignored collaborations… fabulous albums that received almost no attention. Her first partner died unexpectedly, and the second passed away two years ago… She followed him just a few hours later.

Basically, she’s like a female Tom Waits, with a dash of Janis Joplin and Patti Smith. Disconnected blues, clumsy RnB. Her voice is a grumpy, capricious, naive, childish wail…

I’m including her – even if it doesn’t quite fit the sound – for a mini showcase within the showcase, and if anyone knows more and wants to talk about it better…

Thanks Sandy, it’s better late than never this time for IlConte…

Sandy Dillon I'm Just Blue

I have completely fallen in love with this girl. I knew nothing about her... I pick up one record, then another, then a third... I think I’ll get the rest too.
From what little one reads, she’s surrounded by the typical total bad luck both in her private life and professionally. Publications and signed deals falling through at the last minute, ignored collaborations… fabulous albums barely acknowledged. The first partner died suddenly, and the second passed away two years ago… She followed him just hours later.

Basically, a female Tom Waits, with a dash of Janis Joplin and Patti Smith. Disconnected blues, awkward RnB. Her voice is a grumpy, capricious, naive, childish lament…

I’m including her - even though it’s not quite in line with the sound - for a mini showcase within the showcase, and if someone knows more and wants to elaborate, please do…

Thank you Sandy, better late than never this time works well for IlConte…

Camper Van Beethoven Live at Mississippi Nights 11/5/87

I never managed to see them live; I missed them in San Francisco in '84 by just a few days. What a shame. One of the most incredible bands of the '80s.
Thanks to Bruce Licher for producing their first album on IPR.
