I enjoy that type of atmosphere. It's like sitting at home in your living room listening to a friend. I think she was getting a feel for what people might think of the songs, kind of testing the waters. Leave the shadows dancing wrote: > > Whoa!!!!!!!!! > > Ok.. get this.

I am a PROUD ABBA LISTENER and proud to say never for a moment picked up on their fashion "sense":) I personally would just love to hear Jewel do a rendition of "Fernando", so all those who may be seeing her soon in concert, if vacation hadn't started yet, then someone request it, then take a picture of her reaction :) As for real content, that IS list worthy: Thank you all for being... hmmm... Angels... People hear me talk about "this mailing list I'm on", they think "oh, fan club" they look at me rather oddly when I say "well, she calls us Everyday Angels...EDA's" Not many people can truely understand how much we mean to eachother with the simple post on other peoples' problems, that help us with our own lives, and somehow, that Jewel always has an applicable song...some people just have a gift... and I wanted to just share the love. I guess... and say thanks for all being so supportive, when it seems the world is an awful place...We all have Angels on our side... O.K.

The Rumor was that Jewel was at the Kerrville Folk Fest last year disguised, under a different name so she could have fun and not be mobbed by well meaning folkies, Rick Droit was playing around the campfires and overheard some people talking about it, He is also an amazing songwriter, he has a cool page with lots o links http://users.aol.com/rainstrm/pocket.html Not a fan, just his brother, but I would like to know if anyone else was at Kerrville and saw Jewel or have heard anything to this effect? _Thanks_____Chris ------------------------------ From: wrdavis@ite.net (Katherine Davis) Date: Sat, 26 Oct 1996 20:05:30 -0700 Subject: Last Week's Jewel Tv Appearences What day and time was Jewel on Best of the Beach on MTV and Teen Trauma and MTV Only mail me if you're positive of day and time.

I am still really depressed however. My one friend who was raped is doing great. I am so glad, we've become closer friends because of this. It's nice to know one positive thing came from this. With regards to my other friend however I don't know if I can continue this relationship. She just hurts me so much everytime I try to talk to her. I feel like running and crying. But I know that isn't right and I stand there and take all the stuff she sends at me. I just wish there was a way I could get past all this hurt and go on in my life. One person says I'm there friend and they'll always be here for me then they turn around and treat me like I'm nothing but a piece of waded up paper dropped, and kicked around in the halls. I feel like I'm nothing more than " A faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea" which we call life. Why must I feel this way. Only one person around me knows how I feel and he has been trying to help me through this. If it wasn't for him I wonder what I'd be doing now. Hopefully this will pass soon and I continue to live my life happily. For now I must say goodbye, Sarah ------------------------------ From: Chopped Liver Date: Sat, 26 Oct 1996 11:13:49 -0600 (MDT) Subject: JC Guerilla tactics Work! So I gave the student radio station POY and called them as often as I could with requests without being a nuisence. Guess what. Friday they played Morning Song and I didn't request it. So, either the dj played it on his own or someone else requested it. Either way it worked. More people hearing and enjoying Jewel.

I asked who it that and someone kindly supplied me with an excellent synopsys of her career and influence.( Thanks, whoever you are.) Anyway, I finally got Horses, my first Patti Smith CD. Relsease in 1975 it could be called revolutionary and I can see why she is considered the prototype of female alternative rockers. She's a little more raucous the Jewel, but I recommend her those of you who are as under-exposed as I am to contemporary music. Before Jewel, all I listened to was oldies and top forty.

Duncan Shiek, who I though was excellent opening up for Jewel at the Tradewinds, will be opening for the Primitive Radio Gods (suck) on November 10 at the Lost Horizon in Syracuse. Shiek is a pretty damn cool singer, as RS agreed, and should be cool to watch. Then, of course, there's always Springsteen. He's playing in Syracuse on November 13th and in Buffalo that same week. Both shows are sold. He's adding shows in Jersey so my fellow Jerseyans should stay alert. Still eagerly awaiting my JS tapes, I know Silver Kat is doing everything possible to make sure these tapes are of the highest quality and in perfect condition when I receive them. To say Silver Kat is the greatest person on the planet would be an understatement. Kat is an angel, nay, a god walking among men. A mighty giant that bestrides this tiny sphere we call Earth mingling with us common folk. Truly, if there is anyone who has touched the most lives or is worth of being named a saint, it is Silver Kat. God Bless Kat, Long live Kat, yay Kat.

"There was a great turnout in Saturday nights IRC at #Jewel..." Oops, wrong news release. First, some radio industry quotes: JEWEL You Were Meant For Me (ATLANTIC) - I like this - it's very solid! JEWEL You Were Meant For Me (ATLANTIC) - I'll admit, I didn't get this at first, but it's grown on me a lot, and now I'm a big believer! JEWEL You Were Meant For Me (ATLANTIC) - It won't take a year for this single to hit the charts! Very strong follow-up. JON ZELLNER, PD, KMXV, Kansas City JEWEL You Were Meant For Me (ATLANTIC) - A very solid follow-up that should perform just as well as Who Will Save Your Soul. DALE BAIRD, PD, KQXY, Beaumont JEWEL You Were Meant For Me (ATLANTIC) - A damn good record! JEWEL You Were Meant For Me (ATLANTIC) - This is so cool - I really like it! JEWEL You Were Meant For Me (ATLANTIC) - This is going to be a #1 record, by far! I have no doubt at all that this is going straight to the top! KEITH CURRY, APD/MD, WSNX, Grand Rapids JEWEL You Were Meant For Me (ATLANTIC) - Added last week and already generating good response! SCOTT SEIPEL, PD/MD, WWCK, Flint JEWEL You Were Meant For Me (ATLANTIC) - An absolute homerun! And some scattering chart numbers, it's #112 overall in national radio airplay. You Were Meant For Me TW KZIO Duluth, MN 1 (yes #1, the most played song) WPLY Philadelphia, PA 17 WRQK Canton, OH 40 KDOG Minneapolis, MN 34 KNRQ Eugene, OR 18 WVRV St. Louis, MO 12 KNRK Portland, OR 38 WNTX Kalamazoo, MI 32 KFRR Fresno, CA 18 WARQ Columbia, SC 27 KAEP Spokane, WA 27 WDEO Honolulu, HI 42 And it must be just hitting the heartland: Who Will Save Your Soul TW WKNB Lincoln, NE 2 KRRK Omaha, NE 2 POY is #61, up two spots, on Billboard WWSYS is holding steady at #31 on the Hot 100 YWMFM isn't on it yet but should be soon.

Final studio work and mixing will be January 1-14 New album release sometime in March Adam - -- Pieces of Jewel http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/xenomorph/jewelmn.htm Shadowboxer http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/poj/fiona.htm I want to compile accurate concert info so I'm looking for people to send me setlists, reviews, details ASAP. ------------------------------ From: gregdunn@indy.net (Greg Dunn) Date: Sat, 26 Oct 1996 13:56:59 -0500 Subject: NJC: Toni's new mailing list It started as a jest from Tom Proven and Robb Leigh; but after I got a half-dozen enthusiastic Emails from our EDA contingent, I decided what the heck -- go for it. I needed to learn how to run a list server anyway, so I installed Macjordomo (yep, that's spelled right) and tested it out. The net result is that the Wiccan Vampire bassist indie-rocker now has her own mailing list and there are 8 subscribed members besides us. If you want to receive once or twice-weekly mailings from us on whassup in the life of Toni Dunn, you too can subscribe. It'll be mostly limited to band concert dates, CD publishing info, news about the independent 'zine she's working on, etc. etc. Right now, it's a free-posting list, but if the discussion level rises above a "polite" threshold I would be glad to convert it to a receive-only format to reduce mailbox load (there won't be enough to merit a digest yet, I'm pretty sure :-) So, if you're interested: To subscribe to the list please send a message with "SUBSCRIBE toni-dunn" to macjordomo@gdunn.indy.navy.mil. To post, send messages to toni-dunn@gdunn.indy.navy.mil. If you need to unsubscribe from the list please send a message with "UNSUBSCRIBE toni-dunn" to macjordomo@gdunn.indy.navy.mil. You can get a list of the commands and the options that this listserver accepts by sending a message with "HELP" in the body of a message to macjordomo@gdunn.indy.navy.mil. Thank you for your support. ;-) - -- | Greg Dunn | this is slowly taking me apart. | | GregDunn@aol.com | grey would be the color if i | | gregdunn@indy.net | had a heart. | | http://members.aol.com/gregdunn | Trent Reznor | ------------------------------ From: The Rumble Guy Date: Sat, 26 Oct 1996 12:20:53 -0700 Subject: Jewel on Lifetime Rebroadcast Hey you guys, I just saw on flipping thru the channels that the Lifetime Breast Cancer whatchamathingamajigi was gonna be rebroadcast, at least here on the West Coast, at 8pm tonite (Saturday), in case anybody missed it. Methinks Jewel and Lenedra do the Face Of Love duet on it, and I think there's even a segment with Sheryl Crow on it. volt ------------------------------ From: PAUL KYUSAM KIM Date: Sat, 26 Oct 1996 16:08:24 -0400 (EDT) Subject: kim klan (not the kkk), jewel vs. ew, jeff w, and other things People ask me a lot if I'm related to some person with the last name kim that they know, and I have no idea. I'm sure, somewhere back in time, we all come from the same family (adam and eve?). THere are so many freakin' kims in the worlds it's scary. Both of my parents' last names are Kim. I am me. And I don't band together with those not of my ilk (no offense, eddy). So the Harris family is safe for now. Mr. X (he's dead now, you know) wrote: > This is a pile of crap... How dare they judge her! I mean, after all > it's a love song for crying out loud! What, she looks sexy and all the > sudden she's a slut? Uhh, no I don't think so. I pity those who won't Woah, there, temper that anger. THe way you phrased that (especially the How dare they judge her) makes it sound like Jewel is some untouchable goddess that should only be spoken of in reverential tones. And remember that even gods are criticized and spoken ill of ;) The review is from a critic who probably has to review so many videos and music samples that he/she can't possibly get to know all the artists beyond a commercial level. How long did it take you to realize that you really thought that Jewel was someone with more than just a pretty face and a catchy song. How long did it take before you realized that her album was a solid work of art. How long before you realized that Jewel is a pretty cool person and a very wise human being? I know that it took me a good long time to listen to and appreciate the album and even longer to appreciate the human. The reviewer probably didn't have the chance that we do to take the time to see what jewel is all about. make sense? And critics are there to share their opinions. This viewpoint is just another side of the coin, like our adoration of Jewel is just another opinion. I'm sure that someone would be just as pissed as you are if you panned some group that they liked but you don't. This being said, i still haven't seen the video, so I can't say whether the reviewer is totally off base about the sexuality conveyed by jewel. I finally met Jeff Wasilko last night. We met up with a bunch of ectophiles to see Happy Rhodes in Troy, NY. Great show! If yer into Kate Bush/Tori/Mazzy Star but not so druggy, then you might like Happy. Anyways, Jeff is a cool guy, not at all like I figured. Very fun and pretty funny. I think that he is very benevolent to let the list go on using his machines when he doesn't even read the list anymore. So we all should definitely pitch in to show our appreciation to Jeff. come on! We are basically using jeff's property because he's a nice guy. Paul Kim ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V1 #712 ***************************
