Is it worth getting? Voices Carry is on the first Til Tuesday album, called, remarcably enough, Voices Carry. It's a pretty weak album, and sounds very dated. It's not bad, but I can't wildly recommend it. The song is also on Til Tuesday's greatest hits album. I've never listened to that, though I have to imagine it's a better collection that Voices Carry. I think the best way to explore Aimee's stuff is to work backwards, stopping when you aren't getting enough pleasure from it. I'd guess this would take you back through her solo stuff and easily carry you through the still wonderful Everything's Different Now (Til Tuesday's third and final album). The second album, Welcome Home, has a handful of wonderful songs on it. Half of the album is still kind of mediocre, but the good songs shine through the dated kinda bland band sound. And the good songs are really worth having, especially Coming Up Close. If the weakest moments of that album don't bug you, then you might be ok with the first one. neal np: pull marine - isabelle adjani (speaking of weak albums...) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2000 03:00:03 -0500 (EST) From: Mike Matthews Subject: Today's your birthday, friend... i*i*i*i*i*i i*i*i*i*i*i *************** *****HAPPY********* **************BIRTHDAY********* *************************************************** *************************************************************************** ******************** Stephen Thomas (no Email address) ******************** *************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Stephen Thomas Fri February 04 1966 Aquarius Doug Burks Tue February 14 1956 Blank Jim Sturnfield Thu February 18 1954 Aquarius Juha Kannisto Wed February 18 1970 Aquarius Joel Siegfried February 19 Penguin Crossing Linda Saboe Tue February 20 1951 aimless Teresa Ross Wed February 23 1977 pisces Michael Curry Fri February 24 1967 Pisces Paula Shanks Mon February 25 1952 Pisces Brni Mojzes Fri February 26 1965 the vanishing boy Pamela Pociluk Fri February 28 1964 Pisces Peter Clark Thu March 04 1948 Pedestrian - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2000 03:11:55 -0600 From: Kay S Cleaves Subject: Chicago ecto Meth and all-- Not so sure about concerts, but, well, gee, it so happens that I have a play opening the weekend of Feb 18! If you want to see what I really do for a living, I'm stage managing a production of Tennessee Williams's "Kingdom of Earth" at National Pastimes Theatre, 4139 N. Broadway. Shows are 8pm Fridays and Saturdays, 7pm Sundays, through the end of March. Xena Live is a real hoot, I know both of the actresses playing the Xenas. One of them, Alexandra Billings, also does a great cabaret show up in the north end every once in a while. There is also a production of Cyrano opening that weekend at the Viaduct (corner of Western and Belmont) and a production called "Amistad Voices" at the YMCA/Chernin, 1001 Roosevelt Rd.

She's the widow of John, and plays free jazz that mixes her piano and harp-playing, with Eastern motifs (sitars and oud). Her music is devotional -- she's a practicing Buddist. Her records were recently released on CD. Her music is spacey, mimiced in her her look: on her cds, she's a sistah with a mile-high Afro, in diaphanous daishikis. - -Cregg ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 10:12:24 -0500 From: Laura Clifford Subject: Re: attention chicago 'philes At 09:02 PM 02/03/2000 -0500, meredith wrote: >Anything else interesting going on in that area at the end of this month? well, I don't know how interesting you'd find it, but The Cure are playing the Vic on the 25th - if I can get a ticket, I'm planning on heading out there as I can't be at the NYC show on the 28th....

Certainly not one of the famous ones. It was the last work, afaik, that he ever wrote, and never made it to full performance during his lifetime. It was written during the time in his life when he was fading rapidly in the sanatorium (sp?) and having religious experiences, so the end gets kind of confused. We've been working with Tennessee's brother Dakin to try and put the ending back together, as it were. It's a three person play set in the 1960's in Mississippi--very squalid, very dark, with lots and lots of floodwater. - --Kay On Fri, 4 Feb 2000 08:48:50 -0500 Joseph Zitt writes: > On Fri, Feb 04, 2000 at 03:11:55AM -0600, Kay S Cleaves wrote: > > > Not so sure about concerts, but, well, gee, it so happens that I > have a > > play opening the weekend of Feb 18!

She's in a new group called The Rockfords with I think a guy from Pearl Jam. hey, new yawkers, don't forget to try to check out Kyler at the Bitter End this saturday and at Borders and then CB's Gallery on Sunday.
