["Scott" Subject: Re: [EDA] NJC: 32 Flavors - Ani DiFranco's song + NFL ad When Ani's song, 32 Flavors, was used in ad for the NFL, there were questions raised by her fans, and this is the what her label, Righteous Babe Records, said about the controversy at the time: "Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the use of Ani's song '32 Flavors' in a promotional spot for the NFL which will run for 5 weeks beginning December 12. Quite a few people have contacted us regarding the spot, and to be honest we've been a little surprised by the reaction. When the NFL approached us about using the song to illustrate a 30-second montage of big burly guys in #32 jerseys, we thought the whole idea was pretty funny-and an unexpected new context for the song, and a great, if accidental, opportunity to inject a little babe-ishness into the testosterone-fueled world of football. (By the way, the same song appears in a very different context in the new film "Better than Chocolate.") As you probably know, Buffalo is a big football town (everything else comes to a grinding halt when our team makes its annual trek to the Superbowl), and lots of folks here at the label- women and men alike, and lefties to boot - love the game. (The entire staff, football fans and non-fans alike, laughed out loud when we first heard the idea.) All of that was going through our heads when we agreed to let the League use the song. Yes, the NFL is a huge corporation, and yes, we're aware of studies about the correlation between televised sports and domestic abuse. But hey, sometimes the interconnections between art, politics, and commerce get a little complicated-in fact, most of the time they are all tangled up together. If you really want to find contradictions between the lyrics of Ani's songs and some of the actions she and her record company take, we can't stop you: lord knows you'll probably find plenty, because contradictions are at the heart of daily life-every life-in the era of capitalism. As you've surely noticed, Ani has a finely-honed taste for irony and a sharp sense of humor inherent in her politics, and we encourage you to engage the same resources in yourself when watching the spot. As the song goes, we are all '32 flavors and then some.' Thanks again for contacting us. Ron E. RBR Minister of Communications" For fans of the song who may enjoy hearing another version to Ani's or Alana Davis', fyi, Allison Crowe, the artist I manage has a cover of "32 Flavors" on her site's Downloads pages @ http://www.allisoncrowe.com/crowesongs.htm - you'll also find a cover of Jewel's "Who Will Save Your Soul" there ( : Thanks for listening!

hehe being on the cover of maxim ???>> Um... I think it's important to bear in mind that appearing on a magazine intended for the use of men and some women to objectify other women is not necessarily a step in being "independent." I have no problem with those magazines, I love women too. I also though, recognize that when I read those, I see those women as objects. Not independent wonderful rockin ass women.

The Jewelteam tries to explain honestly why they work as partners with Schick , to keep Jewel's music available to us fans. I think Fabio made a good point, that i should be happy. And believe me i am happy with the new song and the sound. I do appreciate the song a lot, and jewel is heading the right way. To team up with schick and to give a cool show in the central park is just great!! it will give jewel's carreer a new launch, and i love to see her do better. The more fans jewel know, the longer her carreer can last. Jewel is forever my hero, don't doubt that! And i am proud that jewel is able to still make music that she cares about. The new single , the partnership with Schick is not as bad as i wrote down. Jewel is just using the ways she can to let as many fans listen to her music as she loves. Jewel's new music, her video wll be great, i will always love to see the new record become a billboard nr1 chart succes. Jewel's mom and manager does a good job, making it possible for a lot of fans to listen to her music. And to team up with Schick is not as bad, as i told before. Let Jewel do what she likes to do, and of course i do appreciate her hard work. In the end only kindness matters, thanks for waking me up Fabio. Why should i critisice the artist that i like. I always was positive, and i want to stay that way. So from this moment on, only good news matters. Jewel's new single will be a massive success, and will break her into the european markets. Intuition will rocks!! Bye Michiel Yahoo!

Yes, this is sort of off-topic from the current is-jewel-selling-out banter, but I had to post anyway. Have you all listened to AMY EMERMAN's song clips at the link she posted? Oh my God, Amy you are AMAZING! Being a lurker for about 5 years now, I would think I would have been in the loop about this, but obviously I missed out, as I didn't even know you had a CD until now! I clicked on the link after your post about your opinion of the jewel debate, and I have to tell you-- you have an amazing voice! I'm sure you've heard that thousands of times, but I really think your voice is refreshing, pure, and reminiscent of 'early' acoustic Jewel. I know you don't use the list to promote your own music (so much so that I didn't even know you were a performer), but I had to add that this CD sounds wonderful. My favourite is raining in Brooklyn... You all should order this CD -- I think, if you like Jewel, Dayna Manning, Ani Difranco...you should listen to the song clips! Sorry for being off topic, I just have to give Amy props since they are deserved. Your sound is breathtaking!!! Maybe it's been discussed to death already (I travel a lot for work and never read the posts regularly), and I apologize if that's the case..... but compliments never hurt, right? I'm going to tell all of my Jewel-fan friends to order this CD....... No chance you're going to be performing in Toronto in the near future, is there?

Well, it turns out the exact dates are April 21st for the radio release, and May 19th for the commercial release! May 19th is the same as in the UK, I think. Exciting!! I haven't lived in a country where Jewel regularly releases cd-singles in a LONG time... I'm looking forward to going out on May 19th and picking up the single! I wonder which country she'll visit to coincide with the May 19th release. I wonder if we should let Chris from Pieces of UK make the decision. I think not. PLUS - I was very excited to know that Atlantic *are* in fact releasing a CD-single in the US. That's *very* cool. Also good news was the fact that they're putting the video and the "making of" the video on the single. I hope that counts for the international releases as well.

The company reportedly paid about $500,000 to license a new song from singer Jewel that will be used in the commercial." http://stlouis.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2003/04/07/daily2.html Chris. http://www.jewelfan.co.uk : Jewel - Pieces Of UK http://pub70.ezboard.com/fmusicpromosdiscussionfrm14 : Official UK Jewel Forum ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2003 17:15:44 +0200 From: "Michiel" Subject: [EDA] half a millon dollars , sell your sin, just cash in :) hello jewelfans, Jewel is definitely using her talents to make also good money. She released a great song and from chris his link jewel will receive the amount of 500.00$ . I think that is cool but not a spectaculair amount. What will this money be of worth for Jewel4s international promotion?? Jewel4s mom told us that we can expect a dvd with the making of the video or an enhanced cdsingle?? Do i understand that right?? But in the end it is for jewel necessary to cash in for future projects. I would never have said 2 years ago, that jewel would sell a song to a multinational and let them advertise her.. Nevertheless it is a smart move, and will help Jewel to continue to do what she likes. So in that term i think she deserves it. We can talk about it what we want, but any big sportplayer has commercial deals, so why can4t artists not benefit from their musical talents! I think i have changed my opinion and i think jewel is just playing a game that is natural in the modern society. jewel makes a creative piece as artist and get rewarded for it, and the company schick wants to donate that money to her. I think it is great to see that jewel is continueing making cool music and intuition is certainly a big big happy song, and will help jewel go to number one! bye michiel the dutch jewelfan ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2003 17:58:09 +0200 From: "Michiel" Subject: [EDA] an apologizes to any fan and esp to jewel hello jewelfans, I do feel sorry for what i have been quoted about how beautiful jewel is blablabla!
