I believe No More Heartaches and So Close To Heaven are 2 different songs. They both are registered. What happened, I think, is that Jewel said she was gonna play No More Heartaches but played So Close To Heaven instead. Fabio ________________________________________________ WNET - www.wnetrj.com.br ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2005 11:24:35 -0300 From: Fjjordao Subject: [EDA] New article! http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/music/article/0,1299,DRMN_54_3852595,00.html Her own road Denver first stop in Jewel's 11-show concert trek By Mark Brown, Rocky Mountain News June 14, 2005 When a musician achieves success, it means he or she can generally work on their own terms. So why, in the middle of recording her next album, is Jewel Kilcher going out and doing 11 shows in 12 nights across two states? Actually, that is her way of calling the shots, she says from her ranch in Texas. "I don't really enjoy having a night off in any city except where I live," she says. "I'd rather just work. My voice seems to handle it just fine. I'd rather do 14 shows in a row with no nights off, then get my time all bunched up together." If you do night-on, night-off, "it takes twice as long to do the same amount of dates. I just don't think it's very fun," she says. The marathon begins Wednesday night at the Denver Botanic Gardens, moves to Chautauqua in Boulder on Thursday, then the Telluride Bluegrass Festival on Friday. "My schedule has been kind of weird," she acknowledges "It's my last record for Atlantic under my contract. I'm not recording nonstop. I don't like to go in the studio for five months and not see daylight. I'll do five days of recording then take a couple of weeks off. It doesn't feel like homework that way." It's a time of transition in the career of the 31-year-old singer-songwriter who grew up in Alaska and went on to find fame with hits like Who Will Save Your Soul and Hands. She has to deal with the transitions of the music industry in the digital age like everyone else does. In fact, she stays slightly ahead of the curve, as she was one of the first major artists to sell instant live discs of her shows to fans. But she also has to struggle with an industry that pigeonholes artists. When Neil Young goes off on a weird tangent, that's just Neil being Neil. When Jewel made 0304 in 2003, setting her lyrics to dance grooves rather than the singer-songwriter style fans knew her for, some people flipped out. "Women in my industry have changed musically out of that premeditated, image-driven way," she says. "I don't think the industry has seen many women exploring musically." Even icons such as Joni Mitchell puzzle fans when she does something a little off the wall such as Dog Eat Dog. As for 0304, "I made a record I really like. My goal is to make my interpretation of modern dance-hall music. I imagined people crowded into bars in the '40s, during the second World War. That was the record I was looking to make," she says. "As a songwriter, it's some of the best songwriting I've ever done. There's a song on there called Haunted that's really good. . . . it reminds me of Who Will Save Your Soul." As for the reaction, "I was a little disappointed because a lot of people didn't listen to the record. I think they looked at imaging . . . and things like that and it got carried away. I was just disappointed that people didn't listen to the record, they didn't hear the songs." She does do those songs live, where they get new context. Playing solo acoustic gives her a chance to be a bit looser with the set list and the crowd. "I talk more when I'm solo. I tell more stories and goof around with the audience more," she says. New songs from the album in progress will appear as well. "I always do new stuff. That's how I'm able to tour as heavily as I do. I'm writing all the time and I'll always play a new song when I write it. I also have 400 or 500 songs in my catalog. I do obscure stuff that's not on any record but is probably pretty heavily bootlegged. I've always encouraged bootlegging. Fans request really obscure songs," she says. Fans who want to know which way the new album is going probably will be pleased it's more of her traditional singer-songwriter work. "The record is going fast. I did six songs in five days. I'll have the record done in a matter of weeks, total. I'm guessing I'll release it in the spring. I'm in no hurry. I'm enjoying my time off, just working in spurts," she says. That relaxed schedule has allowed her to develop a cartoon series for Nickelodeon called Punk Rock Angel Girl. It's still in development. "I drew her and invented the whole world and wrote the first episode," Kilcher says, but she's frustrated at the slow pace of television. "It takes forever. I work fast by myself, but working with a TV company, it starts to drag out." Mark Brown is the popular music writer.

She actually sang "No More Heartaches" at the Santa Rosa show, not "So Close To Heaven" like the set list said and like I originally had said on my website (unfortunately I listened to all songs in that show but that one so I didn't listen to it to know it was mislabeled until Mark brought it to my attention because I am not a huge fan of So Close To Heaven so I didn't really want to listen to it). My post was to inform anyone that cared (anyone in search of Big Blue, or anyone haunted by lavender *wink*), that there was at typo on my site and the instant live set list :). PS the typo on my site is now fixed! (but I think any song player will still call it "shut up" unless you fix it yourself--hahahaha! "shut up" lol that's so Jewel-esque ;)) it always cracks me up when she tells everyone to shut up in the version of Gray Matter I have on my site too lol. (this coming from a girl who still laughs at flatulence--ya so it makes sense...shut up! just kidding ;)). ~~-~~-~~-~~-~~-~~-~~-~~-~~-~~-~~-~~ http://www.everythingbreaks.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2005 11:46:55 -0400 From: Sasafrass Subject: Re: [EDA] New article!
