listened to an interview with grame wiggins of the band outback today.
grame plays digeridu in the band  - they habve a new album out on hannibal
records called _bahka_ (i believe that is the spelling). it was just recently
released - i haven't looked for it yet, but i will be keeping it on the  want
list. they will be touring the states sometime next year(as well as germanyt
and sweden). also a new single from them will be appearing soon: a dance mix
featuring a digeridu! yow! he played a rap beat on the thing - weird! fig-
ured that digeridu fans (KaTefans seem to sometimes be them) would apprec-
iate this.

also, the new roy harper "album" found its ways into my hands today. it is
a twenty minute song called "burn the world" and is absolutely magnificant.
originally written in 1985 (or so), emi turned it down as not being commer-
cial. now that roy is on awareness, it doesn't matter, so he released it.
side one is the original studio demo given to emi and side two is a live 
recording of it from the bloomsbury theatre from a gig afew months or so ago.
the live version is roy and guitar while the studio has more instrumentss.
the live version is much more ... powerful, i guess is a way to say it.

both of the above are recommended (and play side two of "burn the world"
real loud when and if you find it - annoy your neighbors, it might expose
them to some good music - i know i do :)

Is Outback an Australian bush band?  A band with that name gave a free
concert in Newcastle last weekend.  They weren't too bad, but, if they are
the same band, I'm very surprised to see them mentioned here.
