It's really interesting especially in light of the discussion on HG recently about videos and so on. The article's about Aimee Mann, who many people, myself included, think is one of the finest songwriters of her generation. She's been screwed around for many many years by a succession of major labels, and most lately by Mercury and then Interscope. It's really enough to make us all thank our lucky stars that Emm went indie again.

I think I may know some of you from the Sarah list, FTE. I'm just lurking here for a bit, but wanted to say hello and that I'm really excited to see Emm in Toronto next month! I first discovered her through a friend on FTE and I really liked "Public," but for some reason the CD got put away in my CD rack until this past week. I'm working through a dilemma with my old job and I needed some music to help take my mind off of things, while I was working. Saw Emm, popped the CD in and it hasn't left my CD player since! So that's my little Emm story. I'll head back to the lurking shadows now.

Dunn" Subject: lilith-fair-fans list I just got a message from Mike Connell, who runs the Patty Griffin and Jewel lists here on SMOE, and he wants all the list owners (of lists where the artist is performing at Lilith Fair) to publicize the fact that there exists a "lilith-fair-fans" list at smoe, which isn't getting much traffic. Considering this is the last year for Lilith, he says, there ought to be more traffic on that list. So, putting on my PSA (Public Service Announcement) hat: To subscribe to lilith-fair-fans, send a message to majordomo@smoe.org with 'subscribe lilith-fair-fans' in the body (or 'subscribe lilith-fair-fans-digest' for the digest version). To post to the list, send your messages to 'lilith-fair-fans@smoe.org'. - - Julian [ Julian C.
