...SARAH HARMER, YOU WERE HERE: Harmer, a Canadian singer-songwriter, has a voice with some of the sublime charm of Dido's and writes erudite but colloquial lyrics that evoke the folksy smarts of the Indigo Girls. This is the year's best debut, with honorable mention going to Nelly Furtado's blithe "Whoa, Nelly...
...this week, but you're not getting tickets this late: Paul Simon (Dec. 1-3) and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (Dec. 6-10). Harvard alum-band Seventeen turn up at Bill's Bar on Dec. 7. Lots of female performers in town too: Rickie Lee Jones on Dec. 6, Dido and the Bangles on Dec. 7 and Melissa Ferrick on Dec. 8. And in the Where-are-they-now? category, Richard Marx pops up, incongruously at the Paradise, on Dec. 3. Wherever you go... whatever you do... I will be right here waiting...
When I went to see Bounce, the audience was mostly women, with a few men who probably have a rather sensitive nature. And it is clear that the soundtrack is geared toward the same audience. The first seven artists are women, and from Dido's fabulous "Here With Me" to "Need to Be Next to You" by Leigh Nash from Sixpence None the Richer, the music is mostly suitable for the pop section of Lilith Fair.

Tickets went on sale two days ago for the December 7 Bangles-Dido concert at the Orpheum.

Everytime Ben Affleck says "I don't have a last call for the day" someone in my various TV-watching groups invariably says "I don't have a last call either" and we all go into a whine...
...moment of clarity before I retreat into a cave and forever obsess about import versions of singles by the Jam, I shall try to name songs that I like that were fairly well-known: "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child," "Shackles (Praise You)" by Mary Mary, "Thank You" by Dido, "Baby Did a Bad Thing" by Chris Isaak, "Porcelain" by Moby (I confess) and "Got Your Money" by Ol' Dirty Bastard (right). ODB IS ON THE LOOSE. ODB IS ON THE LOOSE. We interrupt this program to bring you this news. Wow. I always thought these things happened only...
