Hey all CHECK OUT MIRANDA LEE RICHARDS... i aint even into her type of music, but the girl moves me :) She does this awesome velvety psychadelicfolkytrippycountryballady type thing... its just really amazing. The album is THE HERETHEREAFTER and the best songs (in my opinion) are The Long Goodbye, Folkin Hell, I Know What Its Like, Dandelion, Last Solstice Of The 70s.... I strongly urge everyone just to check out some of the songs... and shes friggin hot as all get out, too! ha, peace, seb :) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 15:10:14 -0500 From: "Elizabeth Weber" Subject: the only thing Atlantic has left going for it is Sarah Hopefully Atlantic has the sense to be good to Ms. Slean. Tori Amos is leaving and Poe has been dropped. Atlantic never knew what to do with Tori, so I think the move to Epic will be a good one. I just wish the SLG single would have been released, I never could find the import here. Record labels suck. http://www.billboard.com/billboard/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1107319 Tori, Collective Soul, Poe Exit Atlantic Tori Amos, Collective Soul, and Poe have left longtime home Atlantic Records, Billboard Bulletin reports. The moves come as parent company Warner Music Group (WMG) says goodbye to two executives, including producer David Kahne, who helmed Paul McCartney's new Capitol set, "Driving Rain." WMG has also shuttered dance imprint Strictly Rhythm U.K. and its Groovilicious U.K. subsidiary after just nine months of operation. Amos -- whose six Atlantic albums have sold 5.5 million units in the U.S., according to SoundScan -- is negotiating a deal with Epic. Her exit from the label is described as a mutual decision. Despite positive reviews from critics and fans alike, Amos' latest Atlantic set, "Strange Little Girls," is languishing at No. 146 on The Billboard 200 in its eighth week, and has yet to place a single on any of Billboard's airplay charts. Amos is on tour in North America through Nov. 20 in San Diego; 15 European dates begin Nov. 27 in Paris. Meanwhile, Collective Soul's manager, Farshid Arshid, says the group asked to be released with two albums left on its contract. The band, which will record its next album before shopping for a new deal, has sold close to 6 million units in the U.S. Its final Atlantic set, "Blender," opened at No. 22 on The Billboard 200 in October 2000; the best-of set "7even Year Itch: Greatest Hits 1994--2001" debuted at No. 50 on the same chart in October. As for Poe, manager Paul Fishkin says she was stunned to be let go since Atlantic had just picked up an option on her next album and was getting ready to release a new single from current set "Haunted." That album topped out at No. 115 on The Billboard 200 last November and featured the single "Hey Pretty," which hit No. 13 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. - -- Melinda Newman and Erik Gruenwedel, L.A.; Lars Brandle, London _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 13:50:12 -0800 (PST) From: dana wagner Subject: Re: the only thing Atlantic has left going for it is Sarah they're too busy pushing (c)rap artists like P.O.D. tori's never been a radio-friendly artist anyway - what do they expect from the billboard charts? i've seen the way atlantic prioritizes artists, and i certainly hope they do something with sarah though i can't say i have confidence they'll do a good job. dana - --- Elizabeth Weber wrote: > Hopefully Atlantic has the sense to be good to Ms. > Slean.
