Artikel in German about Heather's song, Kirsten Neuschäfer, and the Golden Globe Race 2022.

The Linda Lindas - 4 Song Set (Recorded Live for World Cafe) (2022)

By the way, they are only 17, 15, 14 and 11 (!!!) years old. They play Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park this week-end!

X-Ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescents (live 1978)

punk + sax from UK

After releasing the song on Patreon first, Heather released the song "Ocean Sailing" two weeks later to public:



It is a song inspired by Kirsten Neuschäfer's participation in the Golden Globe Race.

Fifth single "Here Comes Your Man" out today!

Quote:
Yes, she played it a few months ago and talked a little bit about it.

Quote:
Hm.
First - legal things are very difficult. Each country has its own law. Maybe something is allowed in country X and forbidden in country Y. Just because it is allowed in US doesn't mean it is allowed in the EU, for example, or vice versa.
Second - asking lawyers what is allowed and what isn't allowed also costs money.
Third - are the songs she covers really in the public domain? I think this is almost impossible since the songs were usually written just in the 1970's. The melody for "Happy Birthday To All" was written in 1893, but it wasn't in public domain until 2016/17!
Fourth - Heather wasn't allowed to put her *own* Oyster and Siren songs on the Live At The Union Chapel DVD, because she sold them before to major label. So it may be easy to cover a song in a concert, but sing it and put it on a record is probably not so easy.
My first thought when hearing she is doing a covers album was indeed "I hope all rights were cleared before and this wasn't too expensive".

Thanks, I could watch it. Funnily they say Heather was big in the 90's and then she "got children"...

In my world, 8-4 = 4.

I guess so as well.
Like the London Rain video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUBlpV_Wjpc (for example the same silhouette part at 0:05)
or the I'm The Girl backcover

The video for Fireproof is very good! Usually not a fan of black/white videos, but I like especially the part with the silhouette.

Ordered by original release year:
1971 Jealous Guy
1972 Sailing
1973 Message Personnel
1977 Stayin' Alive
1977 Like a Hurricane
1978 Ever Fallen in Love
1981 Waiting for a Girl Like You
1981 Don't Stop Believing
1987 Never Gonna Give You Up
1988 Fragile
1989 Here Comes Your Man
2013 Fireproof
2016 Cold Little Heart

I don't understand why 11/13 songs are are from the 1970's and 1980's and nothing (!) from the 1990's and 2000's and two songs are from the 2010's. Maybe a Volume I for 1970's and 1980's and a Volume II for 1990's and 2000's and as bonus tracks some 2010's songs would make more sense to me, and as my favorite musical decade was the 1990's, I miss all (!) good songs from that decade, but it's her decision. Also maybe it's just me, but I knew only half of the original songs, and from the original songs, I like only one much (Here Comes Your Man), and two other songs are ok (Like A Hurricane and Ever Fallen In Love) and I don't care about all other original songs, so I'm totally surprised by her choice. Her own musical taste is totally different to mine, I noticed this so often...

But when concentrating so much on 1970's and 1980's and only male original singers are allowed (she told once, sigh), I wonder why there is no single song by Elton John, Billy Joel, or David Bowie, for example We Didn't Start The Fire. These singers would be much more interesting to me than all classic rock songs she has chosen.

Fireproof now released in Germany!

Fourth single "Fireproof" (by The National) out next Friday (April 22)!

Paris (Oct 8) and Strasbourg (Nov 18) are also new!

As this festival concert is on the very same day as the new album is being released, I hope for lots of promotion for the new album release in Europe.

Thanks for posting. It's nice to see there are concerts again in Bermuda.

The church building

Reminds me of St. Mary Magdalene Church in London, where the Truth & Bone video was filmed.

Announcement added.

BUNA Gallery and Coffee House has announced the line up for its BUNA Soulful Sundays Live on Sunday, March 27 at 7.00pm.

“And the night would not be complete without a special guest appearance by Bermuda’s very own Heather Nova, who comes to celebrate the spirit of international women with a sample of some of her special work."

Thanks, great find! Yes, it is August.

According to Odyssey Music, Heather won't appear on the Asaf Avidan tour.

The vinyl is already on preorder, I think? Both in the Merchcowboy store on heathernova.com and on many other websites, at least many German ones.

For US, I found this:

https://towerrecords.com/products/heat ... shores-transparent-orange

Haven't found any UK site so far, though.

Oh wait, wrong artist!!!!



I guess there is no Heather video for the song, but you can buy it from today on.

Here you can all hear Heather's new song, released just a few minutes ago:

Youtube

Bought!

Tomorrow: Never Gonna Give You Up

She doesn't mention a video, we will see.

Today is his 18th birthday!
All the best for your adult life!

Please keep these forums alive! Since 25 years I check daily the Mailinglist, later Novaforums, now Heather Nova Net. I do even often check older threads. Last week I read in a thread from 2006. It is not only current news, it is also an archive about the last 17 years.

Patreon is no discussion forum, also it costs money. This is no alternative at all. For example the news about a possible tour with Asaf Avidan, I read it here first. And where to post links to the Femalefactor Global Conference if not here?

Maybe we could close some subforums because they are not needed anymore (for example "humor" or "current events"), because it looks out-dated, and delete spam members, but that's all I could think of.

Is it possible to write an email to all registered users, for example?

Probably
"New single out now & new album available for pre-order!"
from October 29, 2021.

This was about the "Waiting For a Girl Like You" release. Not about the video, which was released a few days later. I don't remember there was a newsletter about her second single and video "Don't Stop Believin", maybe there was none, maybe I deleted it.

Yes, I think there should be definitely a way to reach people apart from social media.

Maybe this newsletter could be sent more often, this would probably be the easiest way to reach people apart from social media and keep them updated even between big news like new album announcements or tour announcements.

Here is a link list of the most important Heather and Heather-related websites:

http://heathernova-info.com/links.html

I also don't have a Facebook account. I have an Instagram account, so I usually check her Instagram site, also those from Vincent and Felix, and the tag "heathernova" pretty often. Plus I do often a Google search with her name. For years, I did this almost daily, but in these Covid times, there are less news, so it is not necessary to do this so often anymore. Funnily I visit her website only pretty seldom. And then I'm on Patreon, and I think I get her newsletter.

All the best for your birthday!

Last login in March 2020, though...
