If she does I am sure NORML will be knocking on her door soon to be their spokesperson. And if she does I hope she will remember that even though we love and support her it is a illegal substance here in the US but when she is in Europe by all means smoke some for me. :) >Uh... what does yoga have to do with pot again? The marijuana/ yoga connection is the same as the connection of marijuana with many other non-traditional Judeo-Christian faiths. Marijuana and peyote are commonly kjnown substances to be used for meditational purposes. Being I have studied religion extensively for about 12 years now I can tell you that most practices do not promote the use of illicit drugs although many members still use them for mind expansion and self awareness. Just my 2 cents.....

Geeez, most veteran tokers I know are rather mushy and overweight. Maybe you're getting your drugs confused, Courtney--I think coke tends to shed the pounds. Christ allmighty people-- Who CARES if Paula smokes a plant that grows naturally on the Earth? Please don't be a ninny and want everyone to be a teetotaling freak like Celine Dion or Mariah Carey. I like my artists with a tinge of the mysterious/forbidden/unknown personna. I don't believe for a moment that Ms. Cole is a drug addict, Courtney.

Personally, I find this title to be one of the worst titles I've ever heard, especially since Paula is far from timid when she's performing. Nevertheless, it is a new boot and one can't turn one's nose up at that. According to Rainy Day, they are selling the bootleg for $19.95. Here is the track listing: 1. Autumn Leaves (from the Midnight in the Garden... soundtrack) 2. Happy Home (live acoustic from the Mountain Stage: Vol. 8 compilation) 3. Throwing Stones 4. Me 5. Road To Dead 6. Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? 7. I Don't Want To Wait 8. Hitler's Brothers 9. Mississippi (tracks 3-9 from Hard Rock Live) 10. Jolene (live acoustic from Captured Live - the KMTT compilation) 11. Suwannee Jo - (from the Blue In The Face soundtrack) 12. Ammeh Kimia - (from A Prayer For The Soul Of Layla) 13. Bethlehem 14. Saturn Girl (tracks 13-14 - demos from Imago Traveling Road Show) 15. Last November (demo from I Am So Ordinary single) 16. Interview 17. I Am So Ordinary (tracks 16-17 live from The Difference radio program) Wow!! This is really an incredible boot for any of you out there who are still looking for some of Paula's harder-to-find material. I have all of the CDs from which these songs appear to have been collected. I would estimate that the value of all of those CDs bought separately would probably be somewhere around $200 (and that's if you could find them out there in used record stores or on the net - most of them are total rarities that took me months to hunt down). According to Rainy Day, they only have a very limited number of these discs in stock. They are currently taking advance orders which will probably be ready to ship on Monday, May 11th. Again, they're $19.95. The toll-free number is 1-800-636-6166. Give 'em a call and they'll hook you up. As Steve also mentioned in his post, they have the Hush bootleg back in stock. It is also being sold for $19.95 (that's about 5 bucks less than most of us who already have it paid for it the first time around). According to Rainy Day, this run of the Hush boot has different cover art, but it's the same boot. You can pre-order that one, too. I would suggest to anyone interested in getting one or both of these boots that you call Rainy Day and place the order today or tomorrow at the very latest. No joke. When the Hush boot came through the first time, it was sold out within a matter of three or four days. That was several months ago and the disc is just now becoming available again. This is definitely one of those times when you need to strike while the iron is hot. If you miss out, you stand a very good chance of ending up screwed. If you have any questions about the CDs, call Rainy Day. Don't post to the list and don't write to me, please. The number, again, is 1-800-636-6166. The folks at Rainy Day are incredibly nice and very helpful. Best of luck! Peace.

I echo these sentiments. Those little growls are what I referred to in my review of the Beacon show. She did those cool little sounds during Feelin' Love and it really made you think Ms. Cole was talking serious business. ;^) That particular rendition of Mississippi is one of the best I've heard from Paula inasmuch as she is singing her heart out. Listen closely to her performance and you can hear her digging deep for all the sound that's coming out of her mouth. She's ragin' on this song!! A new favorite, fer sher. > But did she change the lyrics, make a flub, or am I just not hearing > correctly for the first part of the song. (I thought the lyrics were "I'm > big and proud all over, not just on the stage..." and I lost the whole first > line of that.) Those *are* the lyrics, but PC did some impromptu lyric changes. I have no idea what she sings on that opening line. I wouldn't be surprised to know that she doesn't know what she sang either. She flubbed a line during one her songs at the Beacon, too (I think it was on hush, hush, hush). It's always rather nice to hear her fudge the lyrics every now and then. She always handles it with grace. > Also, cool inside photo of Paula inside the album taken by Sarah's > friend Crystal Heald. That is a GREAT photo!! Just wish it was bigger. That shot brings back memories of seeing Paula perform "Mississippi" at every concert I've ever seen her put on. What a beautiful pose. The Lilith CD is definitely worth the money. All of those live performances, most of which I never got to hear, are a welcome addition to my collection. Personal favorites (in addition to Paula's bit) are Lisa Loeb's "Falling In Love," Patty Griffin's "Cain," Dar Williams' "What Do You Hear In These Sounds" and, last but certainly not least, Tara MacLean's "Hold Me Jordan." Very nice to have this song from Tara on CD after having only heard her do it in concert. Peace.

It was a re-make of the 1987 classic Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin) which was directed by Wim Wenders, was mostly in black & white, and starred Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin, and Peter Falk among others. Both movies had different feelings and sensibilities about them, more subtleties and abstractions in the German version, and script changes in the American re-make, leading to a Hollywood-style ending. Also both films have outstanding soundtracks. City of Angels has cuts by Paula Cole (Feelin' Love), Sarah McLachlan (Angel), Alanis Morrisette (Uninvited) and others. Wings of Desire's CD has mostly classical tracks, Laurie Anderson (Angel Fragments), Nick Cave and the Bad Seed, and others. A sequel movie by Wim Wenders, Faraway, So Close! (In weiter Ferne, so nah!) was made in 1991, and featured music tracks by Jane Siberry (Slow Tango), Lou Reed, Nick Cave, U2, and others. All this got me to thinking about which songs weren't on these soundtracks, but would have fit in so well. Here's my short list: Shawn Colvin - Cry Like an Angel Melissa Etheridge - Talking to my Angel Joy Eden Harrison - Angel Town Jewel - Angel Standing By Kings Road - Where Angels Walk Jane Siberry - Calling All Angels Heather Nova - Maybe An Angel Any suggestions for more angel music?

I'm sure it will change still the more I listen to it. I must admit that I was a *tiny* bit disappointed with it at first, and although I have NEVER been disappointed with anything tori has ever done, I think this is the worst of her four albums... it's still good - I just like the other ones better. Choirgirl is defiantly growing on me though, and there are some songs I just love. SPARK: This is defiantly one of the best songs on the album. I think the chorus is gorgeous, and the bridge is powerful. It's a great first single, and one of my favorite tori songs ever. I think that it is one of those few songs that is catchy and the public will like it, but so will the fans, because it's not crap. I love how the full band sounds on this one CRUEL: My least favorite on the album. It's just not her style at ALL. The lyrics are so powerful - I love them, and the song is catchy as hell, but I still don't like it. When you compare it to songs like YES ANASTASIA, FATHER LUCIFER, or UPSIDE DOWN it is a throwaway. However, I still find I always have it stuck in my head, so maybe it isn't so bad after all. BLACK-DOVE (JANUARY): My very favorite song on the whole album. I liked it the first time I heard it - I think the beginning is lovely with the mallet piano and her singing "By the woods, by the woods.... black dove". Then the loud bridge comes in - it's just awesome. At first it reminded me of bells for her... but it's not anything like it - very creative. It has a really dreamy feel to it with the clear vocals and the muffled piano, and then the swelling guitar on the chorus... RASPBERRY SWIRL: Again, this one is not her style... but it's way better than CRUEL IMO. I really like the beat, it's a great catchy song, and the piano sounds great in it. The lyrics are strong too. I love all the overlaying vocals... this song is obviously very experimental, but it's my favorite of the "electronic" ones on the album. JACKIE'S STRENGTH: This is a lovely song, but it's not one of my favorites. There is a funny hiss in the background if you listen to it after some of the other CHOIRGIRL songs. The instruments sound nice, and so does her voice. It's a nice song, and it sounds more like her old style of music. My favorite part is the third verse where all the BG instruments fade out and she goes "I got lost on my wedding day..." It's really pretty. Iieee: Wow. This is one of the best songs on the album. It is so different, but so great! I love the chorus "we scream in cathedrals..." it's really catchy, but not in a bad way... it is fantastic. The best part of course is where it goes insane in the middle and she says (all distorted) "JUST SAY YES - You little arsonist" It's great. The bass and drums in this song are exceptional... and I find the beat is a lot different from the rest of the songs which sound kind of similar in that way. And it has a cool title! I like songs that build up, and this one defiantly does. Liquid Diamonds: I never feel like listening to this one, but I like it whenever it comes on. The lyrics are awesome, and the song is dreamy and creepy.... the chorus comes and sounds like some R&B song - very cool - then she starts wailing "Liquid Diamonds" - it's so cool. The end is great with all that improv stuff. It is 6 and a half minutes but doesn't seem like it at all. She's Your Cocaine: For sure this is the most recognizable track... I love it... it's so much fun, and it's so happy (yet angry). Totally Led Zeppelin. The best part is the bridge where she goes "Is it true? Devils end up like you?" and she plays the organ..... it's lovely. It's fun to sing along on this one. Northern Lad: My other favorite. At first I didn't like it... but this one is lovely. Musically it is quite different from her other stuff (it's a nice ballad with a full band - prior to this, most of her nice ballads were all on piano - and there is a cool chord progression in this song) but lyrically it could have EASILY fit in on Boys For Pele. It's about breaking up, and it's SO SAD... the tune, and the way she sings "If you could see me now..." makes me feel so sad... one of those songs I can't listen to too often (sister janet is another one of those for me) but it is stunning. Hotel: When I first heard it I hated it, but with many listens I realize that I absolutely LOVE it! It's so creative and cool! Starts off all repetitive techno - then turns into opera techno - then turns into pretty sparkly techno - repeats - THEN the full band and piano comes in on "WHERE ARE THE VELVETS" - awesome! Then it ends with just tori on the piano... it's so cool - and the organ thingee at the very end is so cute. Playboy Mommy: The instruments on this are so crisp and clear and so is her voice... another sad song, but this one is also quite dark... I really like it. I HONESTLY can't hear Willy porters guitar on it though! The slide guitar is easily recognizable, but not the acoustic (or electric - I don't know) very good song though. Pandora's Aquarium: This was a pleasant surprise... I thought this would be a lot different - I just LOVE it. A cool jazzy song, unlike anything I've ever heard by her, but it has a very tori-ish chorus "line me up in single file..." but then goes all jazzy again... it's great... a strange way to end the album though. Northern lad would probably be a better last song. but this one is cool. Overall: Favorites are iieee, northern lad, and black dove. I can't really say if I'm disappointed or not... I'm not disappointed so much with the music, but more with the whole Idea of her becoming a popular huge star and playing in big arenas... I thought it was cool seeing her in little theaters... I also miss her solo piano ballads (of course... there is merman and cooling though - those are fantastic!) but I miss the harpsichord, and I'm not completely nuts about all the electronic stuff... There were some really cool b-sides though - I LOVE do it again and cooling. The artwork for the album is far superior to all her other CD's (she probably had a much higher budget), and I think the cover is my favorite of any album or single or anything! I know it's not very deep and meaningful, but I think it is awesome! The photos inside are very dark, but very cool. The sound quality on all the songs is really great - with the exception of JACKIE'S STRENGTH, cause I notice a significant HISS in that one. Anyway - I'm hoping to see her live in toronto on July 25th, and It'll be fun cause I can go visit my friend again, and we can go watch tori. I can't wait to see her with the full band, although I'm pissed off about it being at the MOLSON AMPHITHEATER... oh well... It'll be an experience. matt - -- Matt Presidente MY HOMEPAGE: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/3745/me.html #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# I guess I'm an underwater thing I'm liquid running there's a sea secret in me it's plain to see it is rising but I must be flowing liquid diamonds - -tori amos- #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# - ------------------------------ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe harbinger Please note the new majordomo address To buy Paula merchandise from Paula(!) try: http://pw2.netcom.com/~ilml/pcmerch.html Digest, further unsub and problems FAQ at: http://www.netaxs.com/~jgreshes/lists/harbinger.html For This Fire kinda-lyrics write Riphug@aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 08 May 1998 00:26:11 EDT From: jeansapula@juno.com (Jean sapula) Subject: (harbinger) Re: Lillith Fair Today's paper advertised the Hartford (CT) Lillith Fair show on July 11th, goes on sale on Saturday, May 9th....The best seats in the house are selling for $58, lawn seating, near $30,that's without service, sales tax, etc.... Are the prices for other Lillith venues that expensive? What's the deal? Is Lillith Inc...charging more, or more likely, are the venues ripping us off? Yes, we get Sarah, Natalie, and Bonnie, but no Paula.

They make you stop and think about the songs you listen to, putting them in a different context. Here are some suggestions Patty Larkin - Good Thing (though there's no "angel" in the title, it's from this song that the album "Angels Running" takes its name. Cher covered this song and *called* it "Angels Running") Jimi Hendrix - Angel Dee Carstensen - Angel (cover of the above) (however, not Rod Stewart's version) Now I see Jill mentions Dee as well. As well as many, many others. Why am I not surprised? You go, girl! BTW, Dee should have a new album out in time for summer. Peace Steve (name construction nearing completion) PS: Thanks for the tip on the Paula screensaver, Kenn. It's really cool. I'm getting quizzical looks from the guys at work. Had to disable the sound, though. Even I got tired of that pretty soon, and I didn't want to bother anyone else. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - ------------------------------ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe harbinger Please note the new majordomo address To buy Paula merchandise from Paula(!) try: http://pw2.netcom.com/~ilml/pcmerch.html Digest, further unsub and problems FAQ at: http://www.netaxs.com/~jgreshes/lists/harbinger.html For This Fire kinda-lyrics write Riphug@aol.com ------------------------------ End of harbinger-digest V3 #142 *******************************
