Slap review

Sunday October 31, 1999 – 1:00 am

A review by "MW" of my LOVE IS REAL single that appeared in Slap Skateboard Magazine, October 1999…

A quick teaser from the softest and most lovely queen of indie folk, Ms. Edith Frost.  A few seasons after her last effort, the full-length Telescopic album (which veered into the plugged-in slightly dreamy rock side of things), Edith comes back home with some more solitary and heart-bending yet somewhat up-beat stargazing ballads about confessions of love and relationships in the way only Edith can.  She then ropes you in on the third track with a solo twangy hoe-down whisky jug of a song, "The Last One."  Overall, this quick three-song EP is a treat for fans of Frost, and a purty introduction for those not yet lucky enough to be acquainted.  Fear not; hers is not nose-pierced, purple cornrow, jack booted, Ani DiFranco pissed off indie folk, but rather sweet strummings and outstanding vocals from a wonderfully talented yet simple musician.

Switched to Linux

Saturday October 30, 1999 – 3:00 am

Had to take down yet another MP3 (the "Follow" demo) as it’s going to be released on a POPnews compilation, and I want it to be exlusive to that for awhile.  On a side note, I should tell you that a few weeks ago I had a freakout over all things Micro$oft, and decided to dump Win98 in favor of another operating system, Linux.  I’ve installed it on both my computers, so from now on, all work on this website will be done via that platform, and geared towards viewability with same.  (This is a *huge* change for me, as I’ve been using Windows and DOS my whole life!) Reason I’m telling you this is, although it’s just as easy to make MP3s on Linux as it is under Windows, I’m still learning how to use the OS and haven’t set up the software to record audio as of yet.  It’s high on my list though, and as soon as I get that happenin’ I’ll record some more MP3s and post them here to replace the ones that have been farmed out to benefit compilations etc.

Time Out NY review

Wednesday October 6, 1999 – 6:00 pm

A review by Amy Kellner of my Love Is Real single that appeared in Time Out New York, in the issue of October 7-14, 1999…

Say no to the Cathy ("Ack!") feminism of the Lilith Fair and yes to the no-bullshit, serene self-confidence of Edith Frost.  This ghost-voiced lady makes the best pretty pop songs, countryish but with a definite Cocteau Twins appreciation.  Melancholy, catchy, understated and not coming to a Revlon commercial near you.
