Two winters ago I was going to the Florida Keys on vacation. We found out that there was a shuttle launch the day before we were planning to leave so we switched our plans around to fly out of Orlando and try and catch the launch. When we got to the hotel there were offical buses from Kennedy Space Center parked out front. We found out that the Itialian, Russian and yes, Candian Space Agencies were staying at our hotel. We got to meet friends and family of the astronauts at the bar that night. Lot's of fun!!! The next day we watched the launch go off with out a hitch! So I thought when Emm mentioned the name Christopher Hadfield it sounded familiar and sure enough he was on that flight.

It has to be among Emm's saddest, but it is oh so beautiful. I just wish that some day she would put it on an actual album. It's so amazing, more people should be able to hear it! Favorite live- "Case of Tornados" She puts so much energy into it, I always fear she's gonna break her piano. Amazing!!!!

However, I do not know which album we were listening to. All I know is that it was not her new one. I was wondering if ya'll would like to recommend which of her previous albums I should buy. I'd appreciate it greatly. I'm also interested in picking up a Melissa Ferrick and Brenda Weiler album, so if anyone wants to suggest which is the best album by both artists that would be great. Thanks! Ben ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 02:21:19 -0400 From: Ryan McCleary Subject: Favorite Emm song It all goes by album for me, although I haven't narrowed down a favorite Asianblue song yet (too many good ones) And Distrust It--"David" Original Leap Year--"July." I like the lyrics better than the Public version. Public--"89 Days of Alcatraz" Science Fair--"Good Riddance" Dead Relatives--"Little War" and "Yellow"--dead tie Girl Versions--"Straight to You" Asianblue--wow, "Lonestar" and "Free" with "Young Rebel," "Symphonic" and "Beautiful Things" close behind. Favorite song live is "Case of Tornados," although "Disco Lights" is quite unique on bass and "Pour Some Sugar on Me" is damn sexy.

Her most recent album is a live album, which is cool because the songs are more intimate and stripped down (just her and her guitar, and an electric on a few songs)... it's called "Brenda Weiler: Live". I think my two favorites of hers, though, are "Crazy Happy" and "Fly Me Back". There are samples on her website... brendaweiler.com Jess www.jessicaweiser.com / www.aftersilence.net new album AFTER SILENCE available now! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 12:20:08 -0400 (EDT) From: James McGarry Subject: Re: Christopher On Sun, 25 Aug 2002, beachbum13 wrote: > Cool story about Emm's new song "Christopher" > > When Emm introduced the song in Philly she said it was about an astonaut that > was from the same town as she was, Sarnia. And I think she picked up the idea for the song while driving by the airport in Sarnia that's named for him. She mentioned something like this the night of the Sarnia Library gig that was to be the taping for Girl Versions.

It's a double live cd, just MF solo/acoustic. Her cds Freedom and Everything I Need seem to be fans favorites. My personal fave is Willing To Wait. Her cds are available through www.cdbaby.com. They have sound clips available for all her cds, if you want to check them out. Melissa is an amazing live performer. She is currently touring solo, after 2 1/2 years of touring with a drummer. Check her tour dates - http://www.flemtam.com/mf-itin.html - if she is playing anywhere near you, you should really try to catch the show.

I hosted the Ohio/Michigan Tori B'day Bash for RAINN last year in Toledo, Ohio and was all set to do the same this year. With planning starting earlier this year, I just knew this one would top last year. Unfortunately, I had 6 days of 10+ hour work days for months coupled with a few personal issues that prevented me from planning this years event. Last week, when things slowed down enough for me to think about it I decided maybe a last minute thing would still work. After reading some of the posts yesterday and today about disappointments and realizing the worth of even just a FEW people "getting it" I have decided to do the last minute party. This year's RAINN benefit will be held at my home in Toledo, Ohio and will showcase artists that perhaps don't get the credit they deserve. There will be live video footage shown throughout the day, raffles, good food and music. This will be a more intimate setting than last years event but hopefully it will provide the environment to meet like minded people and raise money for a good cause. So here are the details....... Ohio/Michigan Tori Birthday Bash for RAINN Date: Saturday, August 31st 2002 Time: 3 pm until..... Where: Toledo, Ohio (once you confirm I will send directions) Cost: Donation $15 minimum to RAINN Events: Live video footage of artists below will be shown throughout the day and evening...

These raffles will be posted by Wedneday of this week, so stay tuned! If any Detroit/Ann Arbor/Toledo artists would like to perform at this bash, please email me privately. You will need to RSVP to me by Friday, August 30th to confirm attendance. I look forward to hearing from you all this week!

Her two previous CDs are "Central Reservation" which in my opinion is just a tad better that "Trailer Park". I have only gotten a chance to listen to a couple tunes off her new CD which just came out last week. ----Rick---- ------------------------------ End of headline-girl-digest V5 #178 ***********************************
