News song on the internet
DOT ALLISON is to release a new song and play a live show via the
Internet, nme.com
can reveal. Allison has confirmed that her show at the Nottingham
Social on August 23 will be broadcast live via the website dot.netbeat.com. Also available
to download on the site is her DJ set recorded at the London
Embassy Bar last month and a new Allison composition, 'Lover',
which features members of Mercury Rev (ed: apparently). The song
was also co-produced with Mercury Rev and Flaming Lips producer
Dave Fridmann at his studio in the Catskill Mountains, near
Woodstock in the US.
Here's what Dot says about 'Lover'
'In life, we tend to crave ownership of objects and situations.
Relationships are no different. For me, the song 'Lover' addresses
the fact that in order to love and be loved, we have to be capable
of setting something free rather than holding it captive. In that
respect, 'Lover' talks about losing more than we ever had...' 'Even
the truest, most reciprocal relationships are never 'owned' by the
participants'
Allison is currently working on new material, and is also a late
addition to this year's Carling Weekend Festivals in Reading
and Leeds over the August Bank Holiday weekend (25-28).
[Ed: She plays the Reading festival on Friday August 25 and the
Leeds festival Monday August 28 on the Carling Premeire stage.
Hopefully they will be broadcast on Radio 1]

Dot's Lip
According to Dave Fridmann's (Flaming Lips/Mercury Rev) personal web
page, on April 10, 2000, Dot recorded two songs for an upcoming
EP on her own Harmonix Records at his Tarbox Road
studio. This is a very cool if he is producing her now. So it
appears she is no longer signed to Heavenly since she has her own
label.
