Blank stares on line (Mary Lou who? what?) but whatever, I'm sure they'll hear of her soon enough, well now they know who she is, and this woman sitting next to me had just bought her CD. I already got an email from someone who saw her on Conan and now is gonna buy her stuff so it does work, ya know. I thought they gave the vocals enough volume, at least watching it last night I could hear Mary Lou's voice. The Troubadour (LA) show on March 18th (yay!!) IS going to be webcast - go to www.mllord.com and click on NEWS and then it gives you the link to where it'll be webcast. I forgot what time they said. I feel like every time I see her it's webcast. And for those in the NYC area who like Elliott Smith, he's playing Tramps April 22 for $8, all ages. Gotta go buy my ticket for that today!! :) Rachel "your machinations leave me speechless and resigned and while I won't deny your talent I'm gonna quit wasting my time" -- sarge, "beguiling" - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- my Mary Lou Lord page is at http://pages.nyu.edu/~rkb200/ To join the Mary Lou Lord mailing list, email Majordomo@smoe.org with ONLY "subscribe jinglejangle" OR "subscribe jinglejangle-digest" in the BODY.

It should be some good exposure for her and even though I didn't see it I'm glad she understands that she has to make a striking visual statement for TV appearances because most viewers are listening through two-inch speakers if they are listening at all. ---------- From: Richard Kolenda To: jinglejangle@smoe.org Subject: Re: [MLL] Re: Conan Date: Saturday, 14 March, 1998 09:53 i don't know about the same hairstyle thing; amy was doing her usual pigtail thing while mll was wearing this bizarre shoulder-blade length fall. she also was really made-up; it was kind of weird to me, but i've only seen her once in a very intimate venue, so maybe these things aren't so uncommon. personally i prefer a bit more natural look. she was also dwarfed by conan, in spite of her 3" platforms; i know she's no giant, but conan must be taller than he seems. as for the music, the band sounded ok, but mll's voice seemed buried in the mix. and of course she didn't get to say two words, and her patter is half the fun of her live performances. she did look like she was having fun, though. but overall i was a bit disappointed. even so, does anyone really care what conan thought of her? sorry if this seems a rather superficial review. ric ><<<<didn't get to see or tape it.>>>>> > >MLL, and her huge band, did "lights are changing".

There was harldy anyone there. But it was a great show. She said she would be playing in front of Kinkos in downtown Austin starting at 10PM on the Saturday of SXSW. She even said that Elliott Smith might stop by. I hope that is true. I think i'm gonna go. Will it be hard to park downtown on a SXSW night? I'm from San Antonio. Should i take the bus once in Austin or get someone to drop me off?
