After the demise of our record store, we thought it was only
a matter of time before eavesdrop wilted away, too. But thanks to you, the music
fan [and the folks at our own R.G.], we've made it a whole year. In typical
eavesdrop style, we're not making too big a deal about it. But Virgin Records
and WERS have stepped in to help us party, and easy will take the decks to drop
some favorite party jams. Massive Attack will more than fill our credentials:
100th Window is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Giveaways from Virgin will be plentiful. This is the
sentence where we suggest you come down early. And here, we express hope to see
some familiar friends.
So tonight we're celebrating you, the music and the space.
Toast yourself, as we complete one year of
eavesdrop.

:: February 4th, 2003 Massive
Attack 100th Window [Virgin]
Eavesdrop started a year ago with
the Boards Of Canada, 2002's most anticipated record. 100th Window
is 2003's. Five years gone, the Bristol Boys return. A trio that
started off in the now legendary Wild Bunch sound system, they've
housed Tricky, Portishead, composer Craig Armstrong, Tracey Thorn,
Elizabeth Frazer, Madonna, Garbage, Mad Professor... well, it's likely they
invented the "trip hop" genre. The uncut funk. Stealthy and stunning.
Also our 1st Anniversary party. Plenty of giveaways courtesy of Virgin Records. With WERS'
Revolutions program going pro and eavesdrop founder Easy playing
late. Stay up a little later. :: 9pm

:: February 11th, 2003 Cat Power
You Are Free [Matador]
Charlen-Marie "Chan" Marshall is
one of the most idiosyncratic musicians of our time. Her music and style has
made a huge impact in the most independent pockets of the world, yet
she herself is reclusive and reluctant. From humble beginnings around the
South, Marshall's created three albums of poignant power and lyrical
dexterity. Her talent falls somewhere between Leonard Cohen and Francoise
Hardy, and her career has just begun. You Are Free is her fourth
original album, and with guests Eddie Vedder and Dave Grohl, its clear she
demands the attention of her peers. A release that solidifies her as one of our
finest. Paula makes her debut on the decks, giveaways
galore.
