MrBB ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 07:08:06 -0700 From: BenFrancis@webtv.net (Ben Simpelo) Subject: Lilith Fair on pay-per-view I was watching Viewer's Choice this morning and I saw a 30 second commercial on Lilith Fair which is going to be on pay-per-view. But it did not announce when they're going to televise it. The commercial had a short clip of Jewel performing Near You Always. If you have the Viewer's Choice pay-per-view channel, you might find this commercial Monday thru Friday between 6AM and 7AM Pacific Time, that's when they broadcast their feeder services to the cable companies, but it could be scrambled in some areas. Ben LIST MODERATORS NOTE: this may very well be the Lilith Fair II show that will be in Florida on Saturday December 13th. (Jewel has been said to be performing in this show) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 13:47:28 +0100 From: Myles MacRae Subject: JC: Guardian Report on London Gig Hi there, I found this in today's (Tuesdays) Guardian newspaper, enjoy.... Myles - ------------------------------- For a while on stage, Jewel exudes vulnerability. Then she tells you she wants to bash her father's teeth in. Caroline Sullivan reports Daddy Cruel - ----------- With a name like Jewel, she could only be a pop singer or a stripper. Jewel Kilcher is the former, and a highly successful one, albeit only in America, where her album Pieces Of You has sold six million. The rest of the world hasn't quite "got" her yet, because Tori Amos and Tracy Chapman were there first. But Jewel combines both Amos's vulnerable kookiness and Chapman's earnest folksingerliness in one winsome, blonde package. She even offers the novelty factor of being the first major pop star ever to come from Alaska. In all likelihood, it's just a matter of time before the world is her tundra. She's already made inroads here, selling out the scholarly Bloomsbury Theatre in London on Sunday. It was her 2,000th or so gig, if claims she played 500 shows a year for four years are true. To hear her tell it during one of her witty asides to the audience, she's done high schools at eight in the morning, including one in downtown Detroit where she was booked under the misapprehension that she was a rap act. "They walked out," she added and hardly surprising, for a less rappy act is inconceivable. The only point where Jewel and rap might intersect is in the use of the word "faggot" - it crops up in the song Pieces Of You, but, typically, is used to make a point about intolerance. Its performance was one of many places where the live Jewel was much better than the recorded version. She unveiled a degree of emotion the album only hints at, her voice swerving from assured adult to tremulous teenager to psychotic adult (on Daddy she addressed her progenitor with "Sometimes I wanna bash in your teeth, Daddy," her face scarily aglow at the thought). The tunes dealt with the usual folkie issues (herself, men and a vague desire to better the planet), cloying on record, but fresh and moving when she was singing them, gently swaying, 10 feet away. The place was so still you could hear the photographers' motor-drives. Half-hidden behind a large acoustic guitar, she had more presence than you'd expect of a woman who drinks decaffeinated tea and speaks in a girly murmur. Those 2,000 shows have instilled both a Zenlike calm - she barely moves while singing - and, oddly, a vulnerability that makes you long to give her a cup of cocoa. Not only that, she closed the show by yodelling. This is a girl who deserves our time. - -- - ----------------------------------------------------- Myles MacRae - Imperial College London - ISE 2nd Year mgm1@doc.ic.ac.uk - m.macrae@doc.ic.ac.uk - ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Oct 1997 20:27:14 -0400 From: "George S Stagani" Subject: jewel in IN Style Magazine Hi To All!! I just wanted to let everyone know that Jewel has popped up in yet another magazine. The November 1997 issue with Kirstie Alley on the cover. Jewel is on page 174 shown wearing a $10,500 necklace. It is a small picture, but worth checking out of course. George ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #840 ***************************
