I mean, they kept saying "Jewel will be joining us later in the program" and then finally they talk to her and they only talk to her for 2 minutes or something! Granted, she was calling in, but they could have talked to her for a little bit longer at least. That was my first time hearing the new version of Foolish Games though, and I have to say, I don't really like that version too much. It sounds way overproduced to me.

I just found the island guide put out by the local Chamber of Commerce (!) It tells you about what there is to do here... I tend to look at the starry night sky, listen to the frogs and crickets, watch the deer play, talk to the sheep and pigs up the road at Hoggett Farm (that's what it is to me) and things like that. But, according to the guide, Salt Spring is known as "Canada's Arts & Crafts Island". Which reminds me that on Saturdays (eg. August 2 and 9) there is a big (well, big for here) arts and crafts market in town and the potters and silversmiths, and the violinists, and the makers of goat's milk cheeses and yogurts, and herb growers etc. etc. come out. So that's here as well as hiking, cycling, fishing swimming, kayaking, horseback riding, hang gliding (where, I don't know!), gold, tennis, boating, studio tours, farms and nurseries etc. Musicians that live here include Tara Maclean (hope that's the right spelling), Suzanne Little (now solo, formerly of Lava Hey), her partner Kevin Hooper (now with Ginger, formerly with the Grapes of Wrath), Bill Henderson (of the 60s band the Collectors, then Chilliwack and several folk units since), Randy Bachman (ex-Guess who, then Bachman Turner Overdrive -- who used to be "Taking Care of Business" but now I see him checking out the prize produce at the Fall Fair -- now that's a really cool thing, the Fall Fair, there's horse shows, flower shows, a beer garden, giant pumpkins and zucchinis, border collie exhibitions...)

The Alaskan folkster will debut four new songs when she kicks off a new batch of "Unplugged" episodes with an hour-long performance next week. Of course, Jewel performed many of the songs as a solo artist, but brought a full band on stage to give her a beefed-up sound for the show, which premieres Tuesday at 10 p.m. For now, the new tracks are titled "A Boy Needs A Bike," "Fragile Flame," "Passing Time," and "Last Dance Rodeo," the last of which she performed live for the first time for the MTV special. Some of these tracks may turn up on Jewel's next album, but she's got so much touring lined up that she says she won't be hitting the studio until next April. "I look forward to time off, and I look forward to doing the album," Jewel told MTV News about her future plans. "I mean, I've been touring straight for three years, you know how it goes." While she is certainly looking forward to a well-earned rest after playing the Blockbuster Rockfest this weekend as well as this summer's Lilith Fair tour, she is also eager to get back to work in the studio. "My album... yeah, I look forward to doing it," Jewel told MTV News. "I've never been inhibited by it. I've always been able to do brand new songs and shows, and I always played solo, so it's not like I have a band to tell, 'Now we're doing something new.' So, I'm not that anxious. It's OK." [900k QuickTime] MTV News will catch up with Jewel once again at this weekend's Blockbuster Rockfest at the Texas Motorspeedway near Dallas. Bush, No Doubt, the Wallflowers, Paula Cole, and many others will also be on hand, and you can catch all the action when "The Week In Rock" broadcasts from the show Saturday and Sunday at 6:30 p.m. MTV will also carry an hour of concert highlights on Sunday at 5 p.m. Eastern time. Jewel will then head off to Seattle to launch Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair tour with Sheryl Crow, Tracy Chapman, Joan Osborne, the Cardigans, and many others.

It was incredible. I wish I could be helpful and give a setlist or something, but I hadn't heard any ofthe songs so I couldn't tell you. I wasn't able to buy her CD (I had to stay on tight budget in order to get my car out of the parking lot), but I did get her to sign my KCRW newsletter and later on I found a copy of Garage Orchestra at a used CD store. Later, I went to see an artist I have been waiting to see since I first heard her in January, Jennifer Terran, and buy her album Cruel. Any EDAs in Santa Barbara and Southern California should *definitely* find her album. She has a great mix of rock, blues, folk, and just plain silly songs. (One track on the album is just her talking to her cat.) I was excited enough to hear her perform, but about halfway through she asked for a volunteer to assist in an impromptu spoken word piece... AND I GOT TO DO IT!! AND IT WENT REALLY WELL!!! I read a section of a Charles Bukowski story that was being handed out at a booth at the festival and then finished off with a paragraph from a book on Tantric sex that some guy happened to have with him. Everything went perfectly. Then I bought the CD I've wanted for over five months and she signed it. So I got two CDs from incredible artists and got to perform with one of them. I have to say it was a good day. Kneep!

"independent and creative in thought or action". That's Jewel. I remember one of the insights of Steve Poltz about Jewel made at the Hot Dog Fest and posted on this list, and, one day soon, to be made immemorial in the pages of the EDA magazine, Deep Water. Poltz observed that Jewel, because she wasn't schooled in the standard songwriting and guitar-playing tradition, was able to bring an original perspective to her lyric writing and song structure. Her songs spring from an original vision and didn't follow the habitual thought processes translated into sound. Obviously as she becomes more practiced in guitar playing and the commercial sounds of the music around her, and as her own creations are molded by the dictates of the music industry (which is looking for radio friendly 3 minute tunes) something is lost and something is, ideally, gained. In music there are traditions and cycles. It's possible that there's not been an original sound in music, as Greg would define it, since some time after the cave people started getting their beats together. (And hair styles too, just keep going around.) And, of course, music started long before with the rhythm of animals, and sea and wind song etc. etc. so humans can't take much credit for creating the musical elements either. What we've done is adapted instruments over the ages in an effort to transcend this plane, to emulate the sounds and rhythms, the cadences of nature -- to strike the universal muse. But does adding a string, or electricity, or synthesizing something really mean it's original? Or is it just carrying on tradition with the latest available apparatus or technology -- whether that means the mouth-bow or the loop sample? Something like Tricky's trip-hop music may be considered innovative or original by short term definitions, but it's likely that, in a way, someone in Africa or New Guinea or Iceland or somewhere, some long time ago, was doing the equivalent on whatever stones or wire or whatever they had available. And one doesn't have to stretch that far. Those who have been described as innovators of pop music have, uniformly, been simply assimilators and adaptors of past sounds -- borrowing a note from Erik Satie here, or bending a line from Kurt Weill there and drawing their base sounds, the melodies and rhythms out of the same communal well-spring of life and experience that has fed people since the beginning of time. If the essence of music is its power to communicate, to be an universal language, then all instrumentation and song/verse can be seen as part of a great tradition which is as varied as life on this garden planet. But it's still all variations on a common theme -- as are the animals, the plants etc. etc. So I can't think of anyone that can be called original in the sense of being the first to create a sound, unless you care to consider that artist God, or Nature or whatever the original artist here means to you... Within the waves of the cycles, in tiny spaces, we who have learned to use our hands and mouths etc. to form sounds, keep developing different instruments on which to express the same essential music. Electronics may add a dimension, but that's invention of another sort -- it's a proxy for the human expression. So if none are true originators by the strict definition, then it becomes arbitrary choosing the time frame in which one is to be considered original. I'd choose a timeless length of cycle in viewing originality as an expression of the soul rather than as the adaptation of the latest development in an increasingly technologically inventive age. An artist, such as Jewel, with the ability to communicate soul-to-soul has found, or reconnected with the original, the universal, language. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 04:07:51 -0400 (EDT) From: RlngRockJE@aol.com Subject: NJC: Re: year of the female (was: grrls/female singers) In the humble words of Alanis Morissette, "Although it has been touted as the year of the female, we women still love you men for what you are."

Just because female singers/bands are being put in the spotlight a lot more lately, that does not lessen the importance and quality of male singers/bands, women in music are just (finally) being treated as equals and getting their much deserved attention.

Joni's more sophisticated, I'll give her that, but who wouldn't be given her career and talent? Let's not do this (again) to our angel. She is who she is and that is wonderful. Give her time to blossom into the legend she is destine to become. PS. How could anyone doubt Joni's brilliance? She had the wisdom to hire the world's greatest electric bass guitarist of all time to play on her albums...JACO PASTORIUS!!!:) (Nobody go comparing Flea to Jaco, okay? Not unless you've actually heard Mr. Pastorius' self titled album or his work with Pat Metheny could you understand why so many praise him.)

I mean how is a CD different than a high quality tape in regards to dupicatability? As a guy with no tape deck (but a killer stereo otherwise), I'm a little disappointed. This is especially unfair given Atlantic's foot-dragging with Jewel's new album. I need a fix and I need it now! But I suppose we have to abide by even the rules we don't like. (I'm going to go pout now...)

My Jewel Dream (Nightmare) I'm sitting at the Jewel concert at Jones Beach in August when Jewel says "So is there anything you guys would like to hear, besides yodelling?" So I stand up on my chair and yell out "Flower." Yes, I know that she almost never plays this song, but I had to try. She responds with "I can't remember the words." I say, "I have the lyrics with me." She says, "No I won't play it. Why is everybody always asking me to play that song?" I say, "It's such a great song! That's why." Anyway, to make a long story short, Jewel get pissed at me, has me thrown out of the concert and before I leave I tell Jewel that she used to care about her fans. I ask her if she is so commercial now that the fans don't matter any more. I go home in tears and never liusten to a Jewel song again.

So on Friday night Ali and I were hanging out, and Crunch was probably going to come and bum around with us, but he decided he wanted to sleep. I had just gotten off the phone with him when Ali and I decided we were going to write a poem in honour of our beloved friend, who is one of the ultimate cuties, sweetest people in the world, bestest huggers, and someone who I love very very dearly... and Ali and I wanted to share with everyone our amusing cute little poem... Ode To Mark by Ali & Stephanie (note: this is just a poem) Oh, dearest devil- you are the love of our lives. Day after day, hour after hour, walking around, we say in our hearts- MARK YOU ARE OUR SPARK. Cuddling up to innocent kittens is no comparison, could never be a comparison, to the joy we feel when in your arms. Always and forever, MARK YOU ARE OUR SPARK. Day and night we live for your smile, we imagine your luscious eyes, caring for us as you give us the gift that keeps on giving (of course, surely you must know, that we speak here only of Crunch bars) Our minds shout, MARK YOU ARE OUR SPARK. ALways you will be our superman Forever you remain our "Mister Happy" Cooler you are than James Dean contentedly smoking that butt, languidly welcoming the hugs & love of others. With smiles we proclaim, MARK YOU ARE OUR SPARK. No words can do you justice you are stronger than gold- you are pure platinum. (Not real, of course, as we can never afford it- but the industrial strength synthetic fake stuff will surely do) ALways we will love you because eternally, MARK YOU ARE OUR SPARK. (the end) I know it's a cheesy little ditty of a poem, but Ali and I were laughing hysterically as we were writing this. The point is, Mark, we adore you to bits, and we LOVE YOU MADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! me agape (Greek for 'with love'), Stephanie ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #470 ***************************
