Tom Proven and I would like to proudly announce that the Everyday Angels List Member Tape is officially under way. Basically, it's a chance for YOU, an EDA member, to cover your favorite Jewel song for all other EDA's to hear! If you can't play an instrument, then fine. Sing it a capella. Like Karen Carpenter said, "Don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing. Sing a song." Here's a guideline of what I plan: - --------------------------------- 1) People email me the top *3* Jewel songs they would like to cover by August 9th. That gives everyone a little over a week to decide. Indicate whether or not you know how to play the songs, or if you need the chords and lyrics. If I don't know the chords to a song, I will post every few days or so a request to the list asking anyone who does to email me a copy. If no one answers the request, I'll try to figure it out or pass the buck over to Tom Proven. The reason I'm asking for your top 3 songs is to have an alternate, should someone else want to do the song. If there ARE conflicts (and I'm sure there will be), I will email all interested parties and ask if they would like to do their alternate pick. Hopefully, there will be a resolution, but if there is not, then we'll have different versions of certain songs. But that's okay. It'll also show which of Jewel's songs have the biggest impact on us. Remember, you don't have to be a Jewel clone and stay true to the original song. BUT if I get eight versions of WWSYS that all sound the same, some are going to get trimmed, unless there are noticeable differences or there are enough versions of the same song to justify its own separate tape. 2) Once the play list is settled, I will tell everyone where to send their tapes. I ask that people send me a copy of their cover, because bad things do tend to happen every once in a while through the mail. If I have enough tapes in, I will bring a sampling of what I have to the New Hampshire show to whet the appetites of the EDA's there and build up interest. 3) Hopefully, I will have all the tapes in by the end of August and can begin to compile them all. Depending on the amount of interest, I will either tree the tape or send them out myself (that would require really little interest). That's what I hope happens. It would really be beneficial to my sanity if this is done before or shortly after my fall semester starts. The biggest pain I see is figuring out what songs people will do and figuring them out. After that, it shouldn't be too bad. Other points I'd like to bring up: * When sending in your tapes, I'd appreciate it if people would include a picture. If I could put picture (or your band's) next to the song you cover and your name, it would make this tape much more personal. * If someone decides to do 3 songs, and they all sound spectacular, who am I to decide to only include ONE of their covers? But that is a "what if?" question that I will take into consideration should the problem present itself. If only a handful of people decide to contribute to the tape, then I will definitely allow for more than one cover. If I'm deluged by requests, then I may just have to limit it to one per person, lest we have a double tape. * Quality of the recordings will obviously vary, but I encourage everyone to use whatever is at their disposal. If all you have is your boombox, then so be it. But I wouldn't recommend going into a studio unless you really, really want to. I, myself, am just going to use a microphone that plugs into my tape deck. Hopefully, the quality won't vary significantly to force people to adjust the volume when they listen to each song. If someone has any experience and/or input in recording and copying (Mr.BB or Dan Stark?), please email me. * I have nothing against list members doing a cover solo, then another with other local list members and/or their band. Well, that's all I can think of. So everyone email me your requests, and if enough are sent in and done fast enough, I can guarantee you the song. And, in turn, this project can be done before everyone realizes it. Now, start practicing! eric montas :) ------------------------------ From: gegertha@tiac.net (Chris Snyder) Date: Tue, 30 Jul 1996 20:10:31 -0500 Subject: Jewel lead suspect in olympic bombing Just as it says above.

It was very vivid and I remembered a lot of it when I woke up. I remember being in a room. It looked like one of the classrooms that I had a lot of classes in last year (128 Sackett). There was a lot of people there but I did not know why. I just walked in and sat down. A friend of mine was playing a guitar and singing on the side. I sat next to a kid I didn't know but didn't say anything (I think it might have benn Al Frankin or whatever that guys name is). Time passed but I didn't notice. Then I saw a blond woman walk in the door with a big blue guitar. I thought, no this can't be. Well it was. She sat down on a stool in the right corner of the room by the door and started to play. She played I'm Sensitive first. I remembered it so clearly this morning but now I am forgetting. She screwed it up a little but smoothed it over to make it sound intentional. Then right after that she stopped and looked up into the crowd about three seats to my left. It was an empty seat. She said, "I need an Angel over there." I looked at her and then looked back over at the seat and there was Liz (young Liz from Ohio who has a habit of writing Jewel on her forehead). She had that big smile on her face like I remembered when Jewel played Racecar Driver at Friday JewelStock. She then finished the song and played another one (I think it was Don't). Then the kid next to me started raving about how great she was. He was asking me all kinds of questions about her. He was going crazy and I thought it was really great. I just sat there like yea, I know, I have known it for a while now. Then a weird thing happened. All of a sudden it was my elementary school gym, with a big stage. There were red lights and I was standing in the middle with a couple of other people but the rest of the crowd was in the back sitting on a long table. Feeling a little out of place I walked to the back and looked in my backpack, which was on the end of the table for who knows why. I found my camera but no film. Then my roommate jumped out of bed and woke me up. It was the best dream I have had in a while. He moves out on Thursday (Woo Hoo). I had another one a couple of nights ago. She was recording a song in a studio but it was a song I had never heard before. Every once in a while I will dream of someone or myself singing a song that I am making up. I wake up and remember nothing about it but that it sounded pretty cool to me. It is really weird. I have been having a lot of Jewel related dreams since JewelStock. Nothing obscene though, thank God. I would lose respect for myself if I did. Rich Melko rwm126@psu.edu ################################# Jerry - You're Crazy. Kramer - Am I?

I was wondering. If we can hate them because they are pieces of us, can we love them for exactly the same reason? Do you strive for someone that you can see traces of your dreams in? Do you love Jewel because you can see a small piece of her in you? Therefore, do you love yourself? Hmm... Just an optimistic corollary to a somewhat cynical song...

We were talking about the olympics and I said I watch as much as I can. He said something to the effect that he watches the pretty girls and tries to avoid the ugly ones. I said something about the gymnast who fell on the balance beam and hit her head last night. He said do I find her attractive. I said she is pretty but she is only fourteen and I don't see her that way. He said I go by "old enough to pee old enough for me." Being a very visual person I got a terrible picture in my head which I won't describe because I am ashamed that I would even think like that. I just kind of chuckled and let it go. I wanted to say what kind of sick demented thing is that. Just thought it was strange that our society has sunk to statements like that. I have heard that one before but it never bothered me like it did today. I saw a sign that said "slow down and live". I know it was talking about driving but I thought of it in a more general sense at first. We may slow down but time won't hesitate. As we are poking along time will pass us by and we will miss out on a lot of the living that could have been done. I would rather speed up and see as much as I can in the limited time that I have. My thoughts were much more profound and eloquent at the time but, alas, the inspiration is gone. Is it possible to go into such deep thought that your brain sucks all of the energy from your body to sustain the thinking process. I think this might be happening to me because sometimes I will be thinking about something and then all of the sudden my head will bang on the back of the seat and I won't know what had happened for the past 15 seconds. People see it as falling asleep but I don't think it is. I guess it could be daydreaming but it is different. It even happens when I am standing up sometimes and I almost fall over. I also came up with the notion that I am looking so deep into my subconcious that I get confused and conciousness fades away. The worst thing is that when I snap out of it I don't remember what it was that I was thinking about. Since the number of posts is down I thought it might be OK to post totally non relevant stuff. Sorry if you don't like reading this type of stuff but if you are reading this line then you found it somewhat interresting or somewhat absurd. Either way, that in itself made it worthwhile becasue at least it was entertaining for you to read and me to write, even if only a little.

Found out that the house I'm moving into for next school year has not one but two copies of POY in it, so it will be three to one Jewel fans, and I think we can convert the final one in a sort of Clockwork Orange kind of fashion (anyone out there know where the title for the book and movie came from?

Something to that effect. Well anyways I don’t know, maybe they were talking about this Richard Jewell character. Bastard. So i’m watching the olympics and I reckon this has been posted about already, but anyway they found a suspect for the Atlanta bombing in Centennial Park, turns out this guy’s name is Richard Jewell. Turns out he’s the slickster who clued the police into the existence of a bomb. Turns out he’s a friggin’ security guard. And i’m listening to the tv eating some baked salmon (yummy) and all I hear is Jewell this and Jewell that and of course you know what is sounds like to me, like our angel, so well my ears perked up and my head whipped around and well, luckily, it wasn’t our jewel. Just kinda had me in a tizzy for a bit. Since someone mentioned Jewel being at the Olympics or something. Anyway, this guy with our beloved’s namesake (kinda sorta), is a real prick. And he’s proclaiming his innocence, while the FBI and all are on top of everything. Okee. Have a nice day.

Only $5. OK, so I have two of three songs (PoY is really one of my least fav songs on the CD) but I got it for Emily. I love hearing new songs when you've only had one album to go on. I'm feeling like a seasoned fan now - - all of three weeks!! I'm trying to remember if someone actually asked if the Aus single had 'Emily' on it. Answer: yes. I like it a lot so far. I love the different ways her voice can sound from one song to the other. I like it better a little deeper than when she sings 'Adrian' - I really am not big on that song. Anyway, so I'm paying for the single and this girl behind the counter with an earing in her nose says, 'I kind of like her actually. she's better than most of the other girlie types.' (wondering who she had in mind now. Tori??) She went on to say that they played PoY in the store about a week ago and she thought it was really good, more interesting and folky than, again she said it, 'the other girlie types.' So I told her about the mailing list and Jewel coming to Australia in September and she said she would be keen to see her. The word of Jewel just keeps on spreading! I don't feel so alone anymore. :-) I'm happy today because the sun has come out in Canberra for the first time in what seems like a lifetime. Thank God for that!
