(and deadline for the doorprizes) Hi folks :-) Just wanted to again say thanx to all those that contributed to the fund raiser for the new smoe.org hardware :-) As Jeff Wasilko posted yesterday, over $3500 thus far has been sent in and he is installing a new $4600 system this weekend. Also, as he said I am still accepting donations towards this cause, as we did fall about a grand short of the final cost (not to mention Jeff pays the $150+ a month operating costs....so I myself wouldn't mind seeing us foot the whole bill for the hardware :-) Also, also - I'd like to announce that the deadline for me to receive donations where you would be eligible for one of the door prizes is next weekend, as I am going to randomly pick the winners next Sunday May 31st, meaning donations I receive in the mail by next Saturday the 30th will be eligible. No matter if you donated one dollar or two-hundred fifty dollars, you have an equal chance for any of the prizes. (All of the door prizes are Jewel related) In addition to a bunch of Jewel key chains & Jewel pins, I have the seven Jewel autographed items listed below (at the end of this email). These items were autographed by Jewel herself, not some stamp, not another person, not some machine. (People have been asking me if her presigned poetry books that are available at various Virgin Megastore bookstores around the USA were actually signed by her....that I cannot answer, as I don't have an answer) I might add that the odds of winning one of these autographed items isn't too bad, since as of this moment there's only been 145 donations sent in. So the odds right now are just a tad over 20-1. To donate, send cash, check or money order. PLEASE make out any checks or money orders to Jeff Wasilko. Send donations to: Mike Connell PO Box 1206 Binghamton NY 13902-1206 This is the last time I'll be ringing that bell :-) Again, I wish to thank all of you who have donated already, all who may soon do so, and all of you who belong to any smoe.org mailing list, as it is the people and their love of the artists' music that make these lists special :-) To see what artists mailing lists exist for on smoe.org, check out http://www.smoe.org/lists cybernetly yours, Mike :-) P.S. If you are new to any of these lists and want more info on this fund raiser, just email me privately and I'll send you copies of my previous posts, and/or answer any questions you may have. *************************************************************************** THE DOOR PRIZES THE DOOR PRIZES THE DOOR PRIZES *************************************************************************** (In addition to a bunch of Jewel key chains and pins) The seven autographed items are (each individually awarded) a) Two twenty page, full of pictures, full color Jewel lyric books autographed in gold ink on the front cover. These are the same books that were being sold at last summers' Lilith Fair and Jewel's 1997 Fall Tour. b) Two sets of five 5x7 semi-glossy color photo packs, with the first picture autographed in gold ink. The pictures and lyric book can be viewed here: http://www.jeweljk.com/catalog1164/catalog.htm c) TWO of Jewel's ten times platinum Pieces Of You CD, with the insert autographed in gold ink. d) This is the top prize, especially to the collectors out there! A brand spanking new autographed in gold ink, RARE promotional CD, commonly known as "Phyllis Barnaby Finally Gets A Bra". It's a 4 track "You Were Meant For Me" promo CD that is pretty much impossible to find now a days. In fact, I myself consider it harder to find than her other promo CD "Save The Linoleum". The 4 tracks are an unreleased version of You Were Meant For Me (known as the Juan Patino version), and three other unreleased tracks Cold Song, Rocker Girl and Emily (although all three have subsequently been released on the vinyl version of Pieces Of You) * The Patty Griffin/Mad-Mission@smoe List Homepage is at: * http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup/pattyg/pattyg.htm * * The Jewel EveryDay Angels List Homepage & Guide is at: * http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup * * aka DuckOfPrey@aol.com WhyADuck55 on AOL Instant Messenger ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 May 1998 22:55:49 -0400 From: freaker Subject: just thought i'd mention i'm working on some things offline for the page at the moment...but i just wanted to tell everyone that today is viv's birthday...i know its only an hour from being over (since both she and i are on the east coast). but i just figured i'd share...and make everyone's mailbox a little happier. sara http://listen.to/lusciousjackon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 May 1998 16:48:21 -0400 From: WWWhatsup Subject: sessions rerun from the BUM newsletter http://www.rpi.edu/~goodsd/bum.html * On TV this week- * Sat May 30, Fiona Apple, Luscious Jackson (Sessions at West 54th rerun) - -- - ------------ joly WWWhatsup http://home.dti.net/joly/home.html Punkcast http://punkcast.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 May 1998 21:37:18 -0400 From: "Kristen A. Hudak" Subject: LJ doin' cover songs?? Hey y'all. I got somethin' for ya to think about: didja ever imagine LJ doin' cover versions of some of yer fave songs (or not so fave songs)? Didja ever hear a tune and say, "Luscious Jackson could do a kick-ass version of that"? Well? Tell me what songs you have envisioned LJ beefin' up. Here are my picks: "Sing Child" by Heart "More More More Part One" by the Andrea True Connection "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins, the Female Preacher "Hot Fun In the Summertime" by Sly and the Family Stone and backup singin' and playin' on "A Ways To Go" by Emmylou Harris Thanks for listening to my bizarre ramblings.

I got somethin' for ya to think about: didja ever imagine LJ >doin' cover versions of some of yer fave songs (or not so fave songs)? Here's my 2 (3, 4, 5, 6...) cents on that: "Voulez Vous" by ABBA "Is it my body" by Alice Cooper "Do ya think I'm sexy?" by Rod Stewart "Tinderbox (of a heart)" by Cocteau Twins "Free Money" by Patti Smith "Funeral Pyre" by The Jam "Love in a Void" by Siouxsie and the Banshees "Knight Moves" by Suzanne Vega "Rapture" by Blondie... >We were watching that Nancy Sinatra video "Boots Were Made for Walking" and I >thought with her sexy voice and basslines, Jill could do a killer remake of >that song.

Fun, sexy and a touch of attitude. And a classic to boot. What better to remake? LJ can definitely kick in the fun, light stuff. But, they can also hold their own in the moody heavy stuff. So, I would like to see them do a remake of Shirley Murdock's "As we lay". A female R&B band did a remake of this song, but they missed it. The tempo was kicked up to a level fitting the Cobra Marching Band, instead of the soulful retrospect due this particular piece. 'Course, this would need Viv's magic on the keys. ...anyway, my 2 cents. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 May 1998 01:55:46 -0400 From: freaker Subject: tour news hey all- just thought i'd mention for those of you near philly that lj *is* confirmed to play a one off show at the tla on south street on friday june 12th at 9pm. tix have gone on sale and are $13...a bargain! its a warm up date for tibet...i believe this is the first performance without vivian who left the band in april to pursue other interests. anyhow...i plan on being front and center...so no one better be fighting my friends and i for that spot or we will beat you down...i'll be the annoying one flashing the camera! see you all there (well a few of you at least)... sara ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 May 1998 20:34:25 -0400 From: freaker Subject: Re: hello there ladies and gentlemen > chuck only has email access at work it seems...and his company doesn't > allow him to be on mailing lists..so i'll post what he says from now on > and forward him copies of the list...you can email him at > charles.carlino@prudential.com > > > I'm just trying this out for the first (well......... okay, the third.....) > > time.
