2.1. Who is Happy Rhodes?

Love-Hounds was founded with the idea of being a newsgroup about "Progressive Artists with emphasis on Kate Bush", so discussions about other "progressive artists" are generally encouraged. However, occasionally the talk about a different artist grows to a point where it is appropriate to form a separate group. This is what happened with Happy Rhodes (this is really her name), whose song "Feed The Fire" (from Warpaint) was the most requested song on WXPN, a Philadelphia radio station. Happy Rhodes discussion now takes place on an ever- growing mailing list founded by Jessica called Ecto. If you want to subscribe to this list, whose broad range of discussion now includes many other female artists (including Kate Bush), send a request to rutgers via:

ecto-request@nsmx.rutgers.edu

or

ecto-request-digest@nsmx.rutgers.edu

with a line in the message body

subscribe ecto

or

subscribe ecto you@a.different.address

To post a message send it to

ecto@nsmx.rutgers.edu.

A comprehensive FAQ about Ecto can be found via ftp (see section 6 for details on ftp) on hardees.rutgers.edu in the directory /pub/hr.

Now there's also the usenet newsgroup alt.music.ecto, but unfortunately it still doesn't get wide distribution. Bug your system administrators to carry it! The mailing list and the newsgroup are not connected like Love-Hounds and rec.music.gaffa, they're separate entities.

Also available is the IRC channel #ecto where at most times you can find some Ectophiles and #Ectophiles.

If you're not in the United States (where Happy's albums should be available in any good record shop), here's how to get them directly:

Postage and handling is 2.00 for the first and 0.50 for each additional CD. Postage to Europe is 3.50 (1 CD), 4.35 (2 CDs), 6.00 (3 CDs), 7.70 (4 CDs). Send cash or cheque (no credit cards) to
