I ordered the new Steve Kilbey and Sing-Songs discs through them (Thankyou very much for the information, Rich...I love that cover of "I Am A Rock") and the total at the current exchange rate was about $31 dollars US, and that included air mail postage. Now after ABFAB and these two things (and the Yuji disc came in finally) I have about 5 dollars left in my checking account until payday(s). Poor but happy, Mark p.s. I don't think of Church news being off topic. After all there is the Donette connection, and I think that most fans of the Loud Family/Game Theory like the Church. Like peanut butter and chocolate. Amusingly, IMO, the older Steve Kilbey gets, the less he looks like Keith Partridge and the more he looks like an aging wizard (the thin bordered beard didn't help matters...glad he lost that) But, regardless, his voice is like buttah. He could read the ingredients off a box of Captain Crunch and it would sound soothing and poetic.... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2001 10:57:33 -0500 From: Dana L Paoli Subject: Re: [loud-fans] New Church stuff But, regardless, his voice is like > buttah.

Are any of you folks Dave Matthews fans? Or not, but wise in the ways of popular music? I ask because the Xmas wish list I got from my sister-in-law is a Dave Matthews CD. I don't know her very well, but I do know that she's not a big music fan (which, if I were on my worst behavior, I would say is painfully obvious by her request, but I'll try not to alienate anyone...). I am wondering if anyone has a good suggestion to finish the statement "If you like Dave Matthews, you'll love ___," in which the band or individual supplied by you is someone who might expand her musical horizons, but not make her too scared to ask for music from me in the future. I guess if all else fails, I can get her something from DM, but I'd be way more interested in surprising her with something else that she'd like, and you are the people to help me. I hope.

One of my wife's female coworkers loaned her Dave Matthews and Bare Naked Ladies, so maybe the latter are a safe bet. - - Steve __________ It is white." - George Bush, when asked what the White House is like by a student at Morningside Primary School in Hackney, East London. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2001 21:14:22 -0500 (EST) From: Aaron Mandel Subject: Re: [loud-fans] music recommendations?

I hope. I took the easy way out, consulting the All Music Guide for "similar artists," and got: Better Than Ezra Counting Crows Aquarium Rescue Unit Spin Doctors David Gray Edwin McCain Third Eye Blind Robert Bradley Toad the Wet Sprocket The Freddy Jones Band Barenaked Ladies The Black Crowes Sheryl Crow Tonic matchbox twenty The Wallflowers Sister Hazel Big Head Todd & The Monsters Hootie & The Blowfish Widespread Panic Blues Traveler Given the above artists (and the relative precision of the "similar artists" part from the AMG), I'd recommend David Gray's WHITE LADDER, but not exactly unreservedly. Maybe (I hope) you see somebody on that (possibly useful) list that you'd prefer to try something from instead. Without meaning to condescend, it seems that there's a good number of folks who want music that they know and aren't especially interested in expanding their musical horizons. Personally, if I didn't have a firm, "you really ought to hear this" choice on a Dave Matthews alternative, I'd go with the suggested DMB. b.s. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2001 22:38:00 -0500 From: Dana L Paoli Subject: Re: [loud-fans] music recommendations?

If not, why not just buy her the CD she asked for? Are you shopping for her or for you? If you really want to expand her horizons, then why not get her the Dave Matthews CD *and* that No Neck Blues Band live set that you've been wanting to turn her on to. That way you'll be happy (because you'll have bought her the CD she wanted *and* turned her on to some mind expandingly great music) and she'll be happy (because she'll have that great Dave Matthews CD *and* the five bucks that she got for trading in that horrible noisy piece of crap by that lame band that her clueless, tone deaf brother in law likes). Everybody wins. Now who else has a problem for me to solve? - --dana ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
