You sure make this sound interesting.

Six! I don't know that I can fford to try this guy out- I'm just building a
Nick Casve library! You all have made him sound real appealing, though.

Did anyone notice Mortal on the Tooth & Nail site? Thanks Dan, this is good
news! You forgot to mention the Chatterbox disc, though, which I just
picked up last week. Love it!

I must confess a terrible sin. I have "Quiver" and don't like it. His
voice is too polished.

See, I can't afford Peter Mulvey! I know you're suggesting a trade, but...
Kristen U., how was the Pittsburgh show? I think I worked that night.

>What are *your* Essential Indie Artists?
First, is Michelle Shocked still indie? I heard a new song from her on WYEP
yesterday.
Also, is Kosmos Express still in existance. I played their second offering
at work last week, and nobody complained. It must be "good".
Midnight Oil's new label in America, Liquid 8, is indie.
The Cowboy Junkies are now a self-sufficient indie.
Otherwise, 16 Horsepower, Mike Knott, SpyGlass Blue, Saviour Machine, Low,
the Voilet Buring, and, though I've yet to hear it, Charity Empressa, are
all essential indie artists. (The latter on the basis of the resume.) Oh,
and a little band called Daniel Amos. And the Choir. (Who owns Galaxy 21
anway?)
Does Starflyer 59 meet your criteria? Pedro the Lion? I get the impression
that you are talking about artists who essentially run their own label, or
have to promote themselves.
Anyone know if Shonen Knife will ever release another CD in America? How
about the Kreepdowns, who I've all but given up on?
Later on,
Matt
