I am a loyal Jewel fan but I'd like to know more about her. My name is Beth. I am 17 and from Knoxville,TN. I've been on other lists but they were so boring. I hope people write on this one. - -Beth ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1998 21:35:23 -0800 (PST) From: Kevin Adams Subject: Jewel's comment on "POY" vs "Spirit" Seems like alot of you are having a go at "Spirit" just because its different. In my last post to the list I said I loved all Jewel songs, and the songs on "Spirit" are no exception. Jewel did an Interview with a New Zealand News paper over the phone the other day and she commented on the difference on the two albums. So heres what she had to say: POY was "just a very honest Polaroid of who I was when I was 19." "So at least this way you saw me as who I was in all my awkwardness and potential, and on this one (Spirit) you see as I've grown" Jewel uses her music to make the world a better place for us to live in. She doesn't care if she gets another 10 million copies sold. Heres another quote for you: "My goal is to be a good humanitarian as well as a good songwriter. All I do is use my songs as an extension of my thought process. I did it before I got signed, I'll do it after. Save your money" Thanks for reading, Kev "Hold on to the World" - Jewel ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 00:41:05 EST From: Puro1st@aol.com Subject: Hiranya Hola, I'm just curious and hoping a few old timers might be able to help me. I joined this list (under a diff. email address) in mid to late 95 and have been inactive for I don't know how long......but, whatever happened to Hiranya, the seemingly first jewel insider, along with Neile and Jeff ( <-- first insider i think) and Colin, oh, and Paul Kim? Are they still on?

If you find a copy, pick it up!" > >--Does anyone have STL? Where did you find it if you do? I searched for a long time. You must be careful though... there are fakes of it floating about the 'net on auction sites and on the store shelves. I had a friend that ran across two of the real ones in lower Michigan and she picked them up for me. Sorry, my second one is already spoken for. On of the easy ways to spot a fake STL or any other CD's is to look at the CD itself. Does it look like a CD-R?? If you do not know what one looks like go to Staple your Wallet Together(Staples), Office Tax(Office Max), CompUssr(CompUSA), etc. and spend a few bucks and buy some. It is money well spent when you are looking for the real thing and do not want to get ripped off. Another tip that helps is to deal with a reputable dealer/seller. >--What are some other "hard to find" Jewel music/cds/tapes/singles? >Please post on this list! Since I have been able to find STL but not PBFGAB (Phyllis Barnaby Finally Gets a Bra *Promo* PRCD 6412-2), I would say that is one. Some of the others are (taken from Faq at smoe.org): 1. Saint Doug: 91X Alternative Sample 2. Pieces of You (1994, Atlantic Records) 3. Save the Linoleum: 4. Shiva Diva Doo Wop - Cassete Only. VERY VERY HARD TO FIND 6. Who Will Save Your Soul w/ Mike Halloran of 91X Interview. 8. You Were Meant for Me (Promo) PRCD 6496 - This CD has no front or back inlays and features a sticker that says "JEWEL Specially produced by Juan Patino" 9. Spew+ Enhanced CD 82844-2 10. Spew: the remixes PRCD 6531-2 11. Spew 8 PRCD 6080-2 This has the album version of WWSYS 12. "Spew U" [PRCD 6360-2] 13. "Who Will Save Your Soul" [PRCD 6585] (album version) --- this was rereleased to radio stations with the cover sticker: As Seen On: "The Conan O'Brien Show" and "CBS This Morning" Other TV Appearances Include: TNT's "The Wizard Of Oz" and VH-1's "Duets With Melissa Etheridge" 14. "You Were Meant For Me" [PRCD 6605] Track listing: 1. Remix - 3:13 (Juan Patino version) 2. Album Version - 4:13 3. Acoustic Version - 3:38 #3 is apparently from a radio show -- It's a duet with Steve Poltz (of the Rugburns) -- a great version! --- this was released with a cover sticker: See Jewel on TV!! 15. Knock Out 2 (compilation CD from Out magazine) Contains JEWEL "Women's Song" non-LP cut from the Atlantic album PIECES OF YOU (82700) This track is commonly referred to as "Dance Between Two Women" 16. The Wizard of Oz in Concert Rhino R2-72405 17. "The Craft" Soundtrack (CK 67626) Columbia 18. "I Shot Andy Warhol" Soundtrack (92690-2) Tag Recordings 19. Who Will Save Your Soul Cassette Single 20. Who Will Save Your Soul CD Single (US) 21. Who Will Save Your Soul CD Single (Australia) [Atlantic 7567-88514-2] 22. "Phenomenon" Soundtrack 23. Surfrider MOM Benefit Compilation 24. Surfrider MOM II 24. You Were Meant For Me [PRCD 6888] 25. Jewel and Duncan Sheik - Cassette. This was a promo that I understand was handed out at concerts. I have one and have seen several others floating out there. The other cassettes of this that I have seen all have different artwork. I am not sure if they have the same Atlantic number or not. Most of the CD's listed above can not be found at a normal record store and are no longer produced by Atlantic. Keep an eye out in used CD stores because they sometimes will pop up there.. that is where I got my two mint STL's :) David Beery - --- There is something refreshingly ironic about people lying on the beach contracting skin cancer, in an attempt to acquire a purely illusory appearance of good health while germ-laden medical waste washes up on the sand around them. --Unknown ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 22:07:19 +1300 From: Chris Tse Subject: Everything Breaks Hi, I'd like the guitar tabs to Everything Breaks.

Still it's better than $145-ish that some site has last week. I had to look around for 1.5 yrs to get my copy (last Friday and made it harder when I live all the way out in Australia) so good luck with your search. Now.... where can I get a copy of "Phylliss Barnabee Finally Gets a Bra"?? - -=- Jase ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 02:02:42 EST From: JDeanrulz@aol.com Subject: Re: STUPID ROLLING STONE!!! >>im sure this has been mentioned BUT rolling stone gave jewel only 3 stars out<< >>of 5! which means good...they said that alanis morristette is a better song<< >>writer and that jewels new album spirit does a poor job of showing off jewels<< >>star quality...hmm YUCKY ROLLING STONE!!!!!!! :)<<<<<<< Usually I would agree with this assesment of the review. However, considering reviews past and how tough Rolling Stone critics can be I was quite pleased with the review. I was totally afraid that they were going to rip Spirit. So, while I wish she had gotten higher (5 stars in my opinion) I'm content with this review.

This is one of the most hilarious books I've ever read. The guy was just inspired by Jewel, so he decided to use her titles and write a book! I recommend it to all except those who are highly religious (some may offend you), and those who felt threatened by that hilarious "Jewel is the Devil" article. Beau Sia (the author) is THE man. Love, Jamie *the everyotherday angel* ~I don't care what you think about the way I write. I die on the page. Every time. What do you know about push-ups? True love? Pressure?~ Beau Sia ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 05:02:09 EST From: Angeljlb96@aol.com Subject: RS Here's the Rolling Stone review you guys were talking about that compared Jewel to Alanis: Jewel sure makes a colorful pop star, and if she isn't in Morissette's class as a song crafter, she's got her own style of musical comfort food. When Spirit is good, it's like a steaming bowl of instant macaroni and cheese; when it's bad, it's like the same macaroni and cheese two hours later. Unfortunately, Spirit does a poor job of showing off Jewel's star quality, displaying none of her chutzpah, charm or humor. The strongest songs here are the sentimental love ballads in the mode of her biggest and best hit, "You Were Meant for Me." "Jupiter," "Kiss the Flame" and "Enter From the East" sum up the Jewel school of romance, with flames, shadows, starry starry nights and mysterious men of the land. The spare acoustic sound suits these scenarios, and Jewel comes up with a classic seduction line: "My heart has four empty rooms/Three wait for lightning, and one waits for you." It's such a good line that she can't resist recycling it four songs later, and you don't even mind. Jewel's sincere sentiment has its attractions in a time of irony overload; she plays John Denver to Dylanesque tricksters like Courtney Love and Beck. But John Denver was sensible enough to stick to catchy songs about country roads and rocky mountains, while Jewel spends most of Spirit straining for grand meaning-of-life statements. She keeps railing against the world for not being as sentimental as she is, and nothing ruins perfectly good pop sentimentality like getting preachy about it. Garbled tirades like "Innocence Maintained" take forever to say nothing in particular -- something about how niceness is better than not-niceness, with not-niceness being your fault -- and the music is too flat to help. Despite the presence of Madonna producer Patrick Leonard, Spirit rehashes the sound and mood of Pieces of You, not a good sign for a young artist overdue to move to the grown-ups' table. Jewel is clearly counting on long-term stardom, and she's ambitious enough to learn new tricks if she needs them to stay on top, which, on the evidence of Spirit, she does. She should pick up some tricks from her fellow Class of '95 grad Alanis Morissette, who proves that soft-rock ingenues can conquer adulthood on their own eccentric terms -- and make some noise when they get there. (RS 801) Hope you enjoyed, and take care. =) Love, Jamie *the everyotherday angel* A kiss to Ryan, and a shag to Cilla (what?!?!) ;-) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 17:34:46 +0800 From: reg Subject: Re: my thoughts on the list Hey angels, sorry, for responding to this so late after it was posted, but i didn't want to let it go without saying anything about it. i have only been on this list for a few months, so i'm still getting a feel of the people on it and what they are like. i read the past few lists just now, and what Courtney and Chelesea wrote, really hit me. we're here because we like jewel's music. that's the thing that brings us together. but what we sometimes forget is that our number one similarity is that we are people and we need other people. i am really glad that the two of you were able to find people to help you when you had a such problems as depression and being suicidal. but maybe there are people out there that feel the same way and don't have anyone to talk to about it. i just want you to know that if things get that bad and you need to get some support, you can e-mail me. i am a psychology student, and have some training in counseling. i am willing to help. after all, we are the Everyday Angels...and i can't think of a better way to thank Jewel for being an inspiration to us, than to help others. thanks for reading this. reg ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 06:15:28 -0500 From: Mike Connell Subject: re: Hiranya n wrote: >I'm just curious and hoping a few old timers might be able to help me.

As the subject says, today's USA Today has a huge (2/3 page) article on Jewel and review of Spirit. BOTH very favorable :-) (then again, I don't think the USA Today is ever really critical, especially in a feature article) It's on page 8 of the Life section. It is also quite likely in the online version of the paper, as it's a feature article on the music page today. Go to http://www.usatoday.com and then click on the "Life" section. There may be a direct link on that page to the Jewel article, or you may have to click on one of the "music" links. When I get home, I'll post the entire article for those that cannot access the web.

Ok Jewel hardly plays the guitar at all on her new album, so does this mean at her future concerts the stage will be filled with a dweeby band and backup singers so she can play her new tunes?? I hope not, coz to me Jewel performing is her and her guitar, it's intimate and feels like she's singing right to you. The band would clutter her. Ok I really need some of your thoughts on that one!!! Ok "What Simple Is True" Ok I was listening to it and thought gee that sounds like she's singing about Alaska. It's all ice and cold, "like leaves frozen in the snow" i read somewhere Jewel's fave season was/is Spring coz it always meant warmer days and less chores for her to do. "How soon Spring comes, how soon Spring forgets" "Old man winter be our friend" just pondering...feel free to reply and discuss anything about this or anything else :) Thanx for listening Angels Louise, "one of the kindest Angels" "In the end only kindness matters" - Jewel ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V3 #653 ***************************
