Here's mine: Tracy Chapman: Her classic debut cd is protest music at its best: simple, direct, subtle, angry, hopeful. She has aged well, as her last three cd's have shown growth and promise, if not the earth-shattering power of her debut. I recommend all four of her wonderful cd's. Sinead O'Conner: Besides Chapman, the most exciting voice in pop music to emerge in the last decade. Her first two albums are classics -- fierce, moving, beautifully sung, and extraordinarily emotional. After a lull with her third album, her last album (Universal Mother) saw a return to form. An underappreciated artist with incredible talent. Alanis Morissette: She has somehow molded folk with hard rock and pop hooks to create extraordinarily powerful music. Lyrics we all can identify with and music with grooves we can all shimmy to, Morissette is an exciting performer who doesn't get the respect she deserves. Janis Joplin: With her stirring voice, Joplin created some classic music in the late sixties. One of the first women in rock, her influence can be seen in many of today's artists (Morissette in particular), but her music still stands up extraordinarily. Brenda Kahn: Imagine Jewel with a little more cynicism and more literal lyrics, and you get Brenda Kahn. Ironic, compelling, she spins amazing stories with her songs, and easily the best lyrics I've ever heard. Definitely recommended. Wally Pleasant: Hilarious folk singer with songs that will simultaneously make you laugh and cry. Satirical and amazingly witty, Pleasant is a talent the whole world should know about. Heather Nova: A folkier Sinead O'Conner, she combines her heavenly voice with great music and lyrics to create some of the more moving music that has been released as of late. Wilco: Roots-rock that is powerful, funny, and make you feel good. Their latest album, Being There, is a classic. Weezer: Goofy alterna-rock with great hooks and funny lyrics. Juliana Hatfield: Since her days with the Blake Babies, she has created some of the catchiest alternapop in the last decade. A nice little-girl voice meshes with tought guitars to create a blissful pop sound. Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories: Her debut album, Tails, is an eclectic masterpiece. She meshes rock and folk together nicely (like "Alone" and "Snow Day"), and is a great writer ("Hurricane"). Definitely underrated. Edie Brickell: Unabashed hippy music, but Brickell has a voice that's like smoke drifting from a campfire on a summer day. A good lyricist and vocalist who wrote some really catchy music ("What I Am"). Mary Lou Lord: One of my favorite voices anywhere, Mary Lou is an amazing artist and guitar player who will be well liked by an Jewel fans, I think. Look for her -- she amazing. Susanna Hoffs: The ex-Bangle's last album has become a favorite; her voice is wonderful. Counting Crows: One of the best rock bands of our generation, the Crows have released two near-classic albums in the last five years. The Verve Pipe: A local band that has made it big. Their song "The Freshmen" is my favorite rock song ever. Very high praise. Suzanne Vega: A wonderful folk singer who has aged very well. Her last album, the underappreciated "Nine Objects of Desire", is a classic. An extraordinary vocalist, Vega spins compelling tales throughout each of her five albums. Highly recommended. Hole: "Live Through This" was my favorite rock album of this decade before "Jagged Little Pill". Very powerful music, vocals, and lyrics. Courtney Love, while being very un-subtle herself, is a very subtle musician, and her music is very angry, yet hopeful -- a rare feat. Veruca Salt: It's like the Bangles go punk -- very fun music with thoughtful lyrics and great vocals. - -- Mark A.

I find it very difficult to pick a favorite Jewel song being that I haven't heard everything she has to offer. If we are going strictly off of POY I have a few but still no concrete singular favorite. It would be a toss up between FG(which I just LOVED live w/ the cello), ASB, or "Don't".

By the time I hit the sack, I was guaranteed at least 9 hours of sleep... so here it is a bit before noon, and I'm finally clear-headed enough to post. Preparations for this one were scattered at best; I gave directions for several EDAs who might want to meet us at a coffeeshop near the Murat, and planned to meet up with Toni and her bf before the show, but other than that it was play-it-by-ear. I got to the coffeehouse before 6, having left work the moment I could get away, parked in a veritable snowstorm, and wandered in. Toni and Rusty were at a table near the door, so I chatted with them for a moment. Then I spotted Matt "Iron Man" Wendel, our host and chauffeur for the JewelStock expedition, I walked over and said hi to him and his lady friend. We were still hoping to see a few others show up, but 6:30 came and went with no sign; Toni wasn't feeling the greatest, so we figured getting to the venue and grabbing comfy seats was probably a good thing to do. Just as we were leaving, I spotted a car with Missouri plates and a suspiciously EDA-looking person stuffing his pockets with batteries. But he drove off before we could hail him. As we trotted the three blocks to the Murat through flurrying snow and brisk wind, we were suddenly confronted with the mystery man, Bob Kollmeyer himself. He had found a closer parking spot and saw us heading toward the same building. "I was pretty sure it was you guys when I saw Toni's hair", he grinned. The four of us finished the trek and wandered around the outside of the building before discovering that they were indeed letting people inside, but not to their seats yet. I doffed my winter coat and went over to the T-shirt table; though we had heard that Bibi was usually to be found selling shirts, she was not there and the folks working the table did not know where she was. :-( Oh well, at least one of them commented on my JewelStock shirt and I got to tell the story to him. We returned to the center entry area in hopes of spotting some EDAs or other famous people, and I spotted a large blue EDA poster coming in the door. It was none other than Fish and his family, still glowing from their LizStock experience. We talked to him for a few minutes, and saw that he had his poster signed by the Rugburns already, and hoping to get Jewel to add hers to the collage. 7 PM came and no more EDAs or band members were evident; Bob had to get to his seat, so we all headed into the main auditorium for the long-awaited concert. A huge diversity of concertgoers, I noticed. All ages indeed seemed to be represented, and though there seemed to be more young ladies present than usual, I attributed this to the fact that it was my first all-ages Jewel concert other than JewelStock. :-) We found our seats and I admired the Murat's newly-reconditioned main theater: ornate but not obnoxiously so, and the promise of great acoustics. Finally 8 PM and the lights dimmed. Steve & co. strolled onstage with no fanfare, and the shrieks from the aforementioned young ladies were deafening. At intermission, Bob told me, "That shrieking girl behind you? Well, she wasn't *right* next to me, but..." Said girl had a healthy set of lungs, and didn't seem to care what was going on around her. She screamed at random intervals during the Rugburns' set, and I'm certain they could hear her onstage. Anyway, Los Burnos played an extremely tight, uptempo set. Steve and John were bobbing almost in unison for most of the songs (an unsettling change from John's usual solo and syncopated bouncing), and Stinky Jeff handled his snare Little Drummer Boy-style with impeccable rhythm. They did move around a lot, and grinned constantly at the hair-trigger response from the audience to their antics. Stinky could guarantee a chorus of screams just by putting the right accent on a drum fill, and John and Steve got loud hoots and whistles for their nicely timed riffs. At one point, Steve leaned into the mic and smirked, "This is FUN!" which got another loud cheer from the gals. We got to hear Gold's Gym Guy, another extremely new one that I can't remember now, a few I knew because of the December show, and a smattering of great tunes from each album. For some reason, they didn't do the songs about Christmas or Toronto :-), and completely omitted any references to Dick's Automotive -- let alone performing the 20-minute version we saw at the Vogue last December. My concerns that they would be a little too strange for the all-ages audience dissipated. When Steve shed his dinner jacket toward the end of their set, he got a LOT of whistles from the audience. All together, it was a fabulous set, with great response from the audience and a well-done stage presentation. I saw a lot of people (mostly mid-20s up to my age) who didn't seem to 'get it', sitting woodenly throughout the set; in particular, I observed the group on my left who looked over in puzzlement as I sang along to "Hitchhiker Joe". :-) Steve did not forget any lyrics on the ABC song this time... and after a girl from the audience proclaimed her love from the fourth row, Steve pointed her out and asked her name. On the spot, he made up a song called "Nicole" with a lot of Indianapolis references. He did a similar thing at the Vogue last December, and it sure wasn't the same song. Amazing improv. Well, the 'burns wrapped their set to much applause, and we got a brief intermission before Jewel's set. I stretched my legs, looking for Bob or any of the others, and talked to Bob briefly about the opening set. Then I glanced over and saw the unmistakable profile of John Castro. Bob and I wandered over, found Toni handing him copies of pictures of her band (that *I* took!) and chatting with him as he signed her second Rugburns shirt. I greeted him and congratulated him on the show. He looked at me as we shook hands, and said "You look familiar." When I told him I was at the December show, his brow cleared and he said "Oh yeah. You were hanging out after the show." Gak; he remembered me even though Sharron was there too! :-) At least he didn't say "Oh yeah; you were the slut monkey"! Well, back to the theater. The lights went down half way, which sparked a loud cheer, and people scurried back to their seats. Then darkness, and the curtain went up revealing a carefully-laid out pattern of candles. A shadowy figure strode out onto stage center amidst deafening cheers and applause. Jewel launched into her a capella intro to "Near You Always" which was barely audible due to the audience. They continued at a deafening level through most of the song, so it's hard to judge her performance. As the lights finally came up enough to where we could see her, she was wearing a simple full-length dress with a subdued pattern. "Morning Song" brought the screams up again during the suggestive lyrical portions. Jewel commented between songs that she was glad to be back in Indy, having played in a mall the last time (that would be the Circle Center mall where I saw her at the World Mardi Gras venue); she claimed surprise that this whole theater was sold out. ;-) I was a bit concerned about the continuous screaming from the alternateens, but thankfully after a few songs they stopped shrieking during the quieter parts, and then miraculously they were silent during whole songs. After a couple of solo tunes, Jewel brought out John Hagen on cello, and the Rugburn guys entered and left according some kind of schedule that wasn't immediately obvious. New arrangements of several tunes, too; I liked Hagen's accompaniment to Foolish Games. His cello work was eerie and atmospheric at one moment, solid and gut-wrenching at others. He should work with Heather Nova if her long-time accompanist Nadia ever quits her band. :-) I was absolutely stunned by Jewel's rendition of Adrian; now I've seen all the tunes from PoY performed live, and this one (never a favorite on the CD) took me aback with the intensity of her reading. The crowd appreciated it a lot, and after this, they were frighteningly silent during the performances. The duet of YWMFM with Steve was another highlight, mainly because of the oft-mentioned way they share the mic. Jewel was sans guitar, and she was carrying the mic around, but always ended up right in front of Steve for their vocal chorus. Electricity flowed, that's all I can say. Toni really sees this as significant, especially after they performed a days-old song together. I dunno if she gave it a proper title, but it's the one with "You come down" in the chorus. After the end of this one, Jewel reached up and gave Steve a real for sure kiss, and he left the stage with John C and Stinky. Toni points out that the lyrics of this particular song, containing such imagery as flames re-kindled and old friends reunited, are not to be ignored, especially when you see how they perform it together. More new stuff: the song about being in Cleveland, and one other I can't remember. She announced the venerable "Innocence Maintained" as a new song, which really freaked out the people around me, because I laughed (recognizing it from the brief tuning strums) and then sang along with her. She did not do Impala, Old Lover's House, Daddy She's a Goddess, Absence of Fear, Carnivore, Satellite, Fragile Flame, or many others I had heard from previous reviews. She did do Run Tonto Run -- a rather laid-back version with the band, Sometimes It Be That Way (verse removed), and (sigh) Chime Bells. She managed to shut up the occasional buttheads yelling "yodel" by promising to play Chime Bells -- though I don't think they knew the name of the song... I did hear a few people yelling "DON'T yodel!!" which amused me. The lighting people (Chaz Martin and Jeff New are credited) did a great job; this is probably the best lighting I've ever seen at a concert where the main emphasis was mood rather than dazzle. Lots of projected patterns, colored floods, and carefully-directed spots that matched the songs in timing and atmosphere. Once, some guy yelled an obviously lewd comment at her from the balcony while she was tuning; she leaned over to the mic and said "Shut UP!" then continued tuning while the audience roared. She did a very nice "Angel Standing By" and wrapped with Chime Bells, though a very perfunctory one (she did the last bit without pausing for audience interaction). The crowd brought her back for a single encore, the expected WWSYS; though she called for the house lights to come up and under a single subdued spot she talked to us for at least 5 minutes about her philosophies, her dreams, and such. She waved a lot, encouraging people to wave back so she sould see them. It brought the otherwise distant audience a little closer to her, and was probably the best she could hope for under the circumstances. I seriously hope she doesn't go for much larger venues, because this size (3000 seats) seems to strain her intimate presentations to the limit. She'll either have to change her stage show (bad) or play more concerts in smaller places like Tori does. Regardless, an unqualified success except for the initial audience noise. Happily, she closed the encore by introducing and playing "Amen"; probably the most emotional and beautiful performance I have witnessed. Her voice was fully on, and I heard literal gasps from around me when she hit the high note in the last verse. This song regularly brings me to tears, and I sagged into my seat as she left the stage and the house lights came up for the last time. After a few moments to compose myself, I endured the flow of traffic out into the lobby. There was a lot of traffic at the T-shirt table, and people hung around at the stage entrances hoping for a glimpse of our favorite angel. I don't think she came out at all, but John Castro was wandering through the crowd signing autographs. We waited a while to see if anything was happening, but it seemed pretty dead. Eventually the crowd dissipated, and Toni needed to take off and get some pain medication and rest. She handed me her second Rugburns shirt to see if I could catch up with Stinky or Steve, and left. I talked with Bob and Matt for a bit, then spotted Steve surrounded by teenage girls at the far end of the lobby. Wading through the throng, I found myself in a surprisingly short line for Mr. Poltz. The girl in front of me was bubbling about what a great concert they gave, so I saidn "Oh, you should have seen them at the Vogue in December!" Steve looked up at that and said "Oh, were you there?" I said that I was, and he grinned, "We were drunk, weren't we?" Yeah... I guess he doesn't remember my shameless behavior, then. :-) So he signed Toni's shirt "Toni kicks ass -- Steven J. Poltz" and I told him "That's actually a literal truth, Steve; especially if someone molests her at a concert!" He laughed and said that she should. I shook hands with him and prepared to leave, being on the verge of collapse and still having work to do at home. Apparently I missed Matt and Bob completely when I scanned the crowd on my way out; sorry guys. It's not like we'll never see each other again, but I apologize for not getting to say goodnight. Fish was backstage schmoozing with Jewel, eh? No wonder I didn't see him after the concert. I got home about midnight and still had two hours of cleanup work to do in the basement, but I managed to log on and check my mail before collapsing into bed. Tonight: another concert of Toni's band to tape and a lot of stuff to catch up on, like dubbing for my leaves!

As a long time listner & EDA, but a first time concert goer, I really enjoyed last night's show in Columbus. I see that all the positive info about the Rugburn's was right on target... they were great! I suppose any band with a drummer named Stinky can't help but be great. I'm cc'ing a copy of this to the address they gave out at the show, so that they can see what I thought of the show. (they said they were just looking for email) Their show was great! They rocked and they were a lot of fun. Except for "The Banana Song" which had a verse about weed, I can't say that I support getting high, so I didn't care for this too much. Not liking 1 song out of like 15 or so is still awesome (Sorry for the preaching, do what you like, _I_ just don't like that stuff.) Jewel was AWESOME!!!!!!! I was overwhelmed by her beauty... physically, emotionally, and most of all... mentally! She is all heart up there on that stage. She gave and gave AND GAVE! Now that's a performer. She is what all musicians on the road need to look up to. She played song after song after song, a lot of them I'd never heard before. This made NO difference what-so-ever. They were like old friends. I know that some EDA's do not like references to other musicians, but Jewel's show last night reminded me of Tori Amos on the Little Earthquakes tour. I went to 2 shows on that tour back in 1992... shows that if you've seen Tori only since then... you've missed out. Jewel oozed love and warmth all night. She played well, and sang wonderfully, she was in a great mood, and the show would've been a bargain @ $100, but thankfully it was relatively cheap (except for the usual extortion of TicketSlut! $5.25 in service charges per ticket!!!!) Overall I gave the show 2 thumbs up!!! Special hello to all the EDA's I met @ the show! Thanks for being so nice... I'm horrible with remembering names, but a special hi to Lace & her two friends who I actually talked to a lot more than I talked to Lace and who got the Rugburns to play "My car phone's on the pill and my girlfriend's got call waiting" and Steve even mentioned them when they played it) and the guy and gal who wanted my seat even tho' I was only sitting there just to meet the previously mentioned EDA's.

They also do some awesome covers of the Cars, Fleetwood Mac, and Charlie Chesterman. 4) R.E.M. - are influential gods in this industry, Stipe is a lyrical genius, and they've got longevity on their side. 5) Sonic Youth - these are the true fathers of modern rock 6) Mazzy Star - Hope Sandoval has the most hypnotic voice i've ever heard 7) Hole - I feel Courtney's angst is genuine and there is no doubt whatsoever that Patty Schemel is the best drummer there ever is, was, or will be other bands on the List are Lusicous Jackson, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, all about chad, jawbreaker (and im sure some other bands whom i havent mentioned) Later, TMBH ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 23:53:58 From: "Paul Ehresmann" Subject: RE: save the linoluem >hey all-- > Ok Ive been looking EVERYWHERE for Save the Linoluem--I mean Ive tried >all >the used/trading places in the city-noone has it.

I just want Jewel to be happy, and I'm not so sure, drunken people yelling obscenities is going to make her feel very good. So, I had this idea, and hopefully it will work. With all of Jewels popularity, lots of people are going to buy her album. Some of them will be "teeny-boppers" who just like whoevers popular, some of them are going to be quality fans who appreciate Jewel, for her music, not her social status or her outer beauty. Eventually her, novelty, will wear off, and all the people who were just listening to wwsys and ywmfm, will lose intrest and will ship poy off to the used cd store, to get something more in vouge. While this is happening, all the newer people, who of course, have become aware of Jewel because of her popularity, will be becoming devout fans. I want her to be happy, whatever it may be. I don't think it's fair for her to have to scream to get her message across, over drunken audiences, but I want her to live her dream. So, what I"m saying, basically, is it's not the quanity of her fans that count, but the quailty of their, reverence, appreciation for Jewel. Flame away guys, I'd love to hear your opinions on this, please do it privately to me though, if you don't think everyone else would enjoy reading it.

I agree with you that your dreams are really freaky when you're sick. Sometimes, when I'm sick, I get into a state of half-dreaming, and half-awake. Then, I hear this rumbling. First, it's really soft, then it gets louder and louder very fast until it's beating the heck outta' my eardrums. Then, I wake up and the noise stops in an instant. Because I'm really tired, I just go back to sleep again, and it starts all over again. I wouldn't listen to Jewel's CD when I'm sick. The only thing that I would probably listen to is You Were Meant for Me and Who Will Save Your Soul. Those aren't really depressing. Well, hope you get better soon! =) Mark (sparksmark@juno.com) I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins, and I swear to God it won't happen again - --Jewel "Sometimes It Be That Way" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 00:44:35 -0800 From: howenow@imagen.net (Adrian Duplessis) Subject: Juel/Jewel, playing cards and Buddha Hi everyone: Just pondering a few things: 1) Is it possible that Jewel was named Juel by her parents Atz and Lenedra and then changed it at some later point? 2) what's the status of the playing card idea? An earlier post I wrote about there being no legal barrier to using a person's actual quotes (which is different to song lyrics etc.) may have been lost coz it was sent in the middle of all those dead letter box postings. Here it is again (and if it did make it out the first time, please ignore and forgive this reposting: I just got back home after being away and have caught up on the playing card conversation (which is a great idea). John-Eric is right -- a person's quotes of conversation are not covered by copyright. They are in the public domain. There's a book publisher in Vancouver that has published an entire series of miniature books of various people's quotes and no legal permission was required for anything. There should be no legal impediment at all to using any quotes that Jewel has given in interviews -- eg. "your hands manifest thought". Song lyrics and the written narrative or textual content of a magazine article (if it is distinctive, and not just generic filler) are covered by copyright. But the " " quotes of a public figure are not. Someone in an earlier post used the word courtesy -- and that's really the issue that would apply here. It would be ideal to ask Jewel's permission out of courtesy and respect -- and not because of any legal requirement (that, in fact, doesn't exist). Only if Jewel thinks it's cool, would it be. 3) Wiccan-ism, Quaker-ism, Christian-ism (that-ism, this-ism sings John Lennon) all blend in together as do other beliefs. Like Buddhism -- "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. We make our world." This sounds like Jewel, too, but it's a saying of the Buddha.

Painters has a way of tapping into my sensual emotions. The true love and passion that is portrayed through the lovers' "waterpainted daisies" and "lovely world" just brings out my earthy enthusiasm and need for that kind of romance. YWMFM is just a perfect love song. It also affects me in that I see it as a song for someone who has lost a lover to AIDS (as someone mentioned a week ago) and it really brings out jilted emotions and a bitter sweet pain in me every time I hear it. I can feel the want in the song to have that person that I was meant for but will never have or have lost. It makes me cry. \|/ - - o - /|\ John-Eric ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 02:35:20 -0600 (CST) From: Court Schuett Subject: Re: Other Likes I'm sure most people haven't heard of most of these bands, but: Too Much Joy --(one of my all time favorite bands.
