I just joined Mad Mission about eight hours ago and I am a little lost at this whole "posting to the list" and everything. If anyone has the time to explain how MM works, feel free to drop me a line. It would be greatly appreciated. >> Here's a non-technical explination of what happens when you post to the list, and how to send your messages where you want them to go :) Whenever you write to mad-mission@smoe.org, you're sending a letter to a huge list of email addresses. Every email address on the list joined the list like you did. When your letter gets to mad-mission@smoe.org, it gets a small checking over (to make usre it's not a virus, or a blank letter). Then MM: is added to the subject of your letter ( which helps everyone know that the post came from someone on this huge list) and the email is sent out to all those addresses. You recieve a copy of it too, since you're in that big list of addresses. If you get a letter with MM: in the subject line, it means that it got to you through this huge list, and it's not a personal email. When you hit "reply" and write a reply letter, your reply gets sent to the person who wrote that letter, NOT the entire list. If you want to send a reply to the entire list (like I'm doing), you have to put mad-mission@smoe.org in the "send" line. This is super helpful because sometimes you'll want to reply to only the person who sent the letter, and your letter won't be sent to everyone on the list unless you want it to be. As for what goes on on this list- it's not all about Patty Griffin. Sometimes people will post about other artists they enjoy, about having a bad day, etc. We're lucky because this is still a relatively small list, so there's a sense of community. On larger lists, a lot of times the posts that have nothing to do with Patty (for instance) would be edited out when you sent the message to the list. If you don't want to hear this list talk, only the news about Patty, you can subscribe to a news-only list. On a news only list, you can't post- the letters with Patty news that are sent to the big list also get sent to the little Patty-news list. You have to subscribe separately to get on that list- BUT all the news you get on Patty-news also goes to this list, so you're not missing anything. Can you tell I'm procrastinating ? I'm suppose to be reading Wuthering Heights :/. Oh... sometimes people fight on this list, but don't worry. We're adults. We don't like lots of swearings, and we get really upset if someone here insults someone else. If you post something that others feel is inappropriate, they'll let you know ;). You just have to remember that lots of people are reading your email and maybe not everyone wants to know about your sex life. Subject lines help a lot-make sure your subject line says what the letter is actually about. That helps people who don't have time to read all the mail, because they can tell by your subject whether or not it's something they want to read. If your post has nothing to do with Patty, most people prefer you write NPC (no Patty content) in your subject line. Hope this helps, although I might have just confused you more... and welcome to all the newbies !

Non-Patty, I'd probably go for: Joanne Shenendoah--Matriarch Tori Amos--Little Earthquakes Sarah McLaughlin--Fumbling Towards Ecstacy Rose Polenzani--Draggersville Dar Williams--The Honesty Room Carrie Newcomer--The Bird or The Wing (or My Father's Only Son, or My True Name) Indigo Girls--Rites of Passage Suzanne Vega--Solitude Standing Joy Harjo & Poetic Justice--Letter from the End of the 20th Century Cowboy Junkies--The Caution Horses (or the Trinity Sessions) Joan Baez--Ring Them Bells or some combination thereof :) Happy listening, Shelley (who thinks that maybe she hallucinated that quote about songwriting and a swingset...)

(Candle >permissible) Considering I do this quite often, I have a few to submit. (By the way, I absolutely LOVE this question :-) I mostly listen to classical musicin the dark, with my alltime favorite being a classsical/new age mix which is the soundtrack CD from the early 1980's PBS documentary Cosmos (the Carl Sagan series). It has a fantastic mixture of baroque classics and some Vangelis, a few ethic instrumentals etc....it's really a great CD :-) Another classical fave for listening in the dark is a good clean 1812 Overture :-) Along the same quiet/classical music/new age, I often dark-listen to, Peter Gabriels' "Passion" (the soundtrack to "The Last Temptation Of Christ"), the soundtracks to "A Clockwork Orange", "2001 A Space Odyssey" and "Chariots Of Fire" As far as pop/rock, you can't beat Pink Floyds' "Dark Side Of The Moon" for lights-out listening, and I also enjoy Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends", The Beatles "White Album", Jefferson Airplanes "Surrealistic Pillow", Elton Johns' early stuff like "Madman Across The Water", Rod Stewarts' "A Night On The Town", Frank Sinatra's hits "The Very Good Years", Simon & Garfunkels' "A Bridge Over Troubled Water" and for stuff that some of you youngin's may know well, of course Patty's LWG, Joan Osbornes' "Relish" (not too often in the dark though) and Jewel's Pieces Of You.

I would have to go with "Rarities & B-sides" or "Songbird" by Sarah McLaughlan (I have seen her in concert 7 times and have met her in person, she's my fav:) Another pick of mine would be "Cry Cry Cry" by Cry Cry Cry, Any album by the cranberries & beastie boys (they are just too cool), "Boys for Pele" by Tori Amos, "Portishead Live NYC" by Portishead & finally "Tigerlily" by Natalie Merchant. This is assuming i have already picked Patty Griffin of course. How i would listen to all these at the same time at 3 am i havent figured out yet. \Well anyways gotta run to practice. We are in this stupid talent contest at a local junior college. Last year we lost to a talking mime (I know, not a very talented mime) but this year we shall kick all their behinds with a new song we wrote cause it has a b^&#$ing violin solo performed by yours truly. Yes i play the violin (13 yrs), the piano (12 yrs), guitar (11 yrs), drum (?), and the accordian. Hey give me a break, my gma is polish I had no choice. Well anyways, peace!!!

First post to this list!! Let me just preface by saying, I "discovered" Patty on a Live X cd put out by a radio station in Atlanta...and after hearing "Tony" live...I rushed right out and bought "Living With Ghosts". She is sooooooo awesome. I haven't picked up Flaming Red yet...but I will. :) By the way...would any of you wonderful listees happen to have any bootlegs? I have never heard her live, well, with the exception of the song mentioned above....and she isn't coming anywhere near here anytime soon. :( OK...now...on to this wonderful thread: Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: Live at Luther College Mike: Building a Hole and Lessons of Autumn Duncan Sheik: Duncan Sheik and Humming Phil Norman: If By Yes Edwin McCain: Honor Among Thieves and Misguided Roses Carole King: Tapestry James Taylor: Greatest Hits ****Now, to the most important part of the post. If you actually read this far...I have a little offer for ya. :) Since we obviously have somewhat similar tastes if we are all on this listserve...I will be glad to dub copies for anyone who's interested in hearing some new, great music. There are 2 local artists on my list that aren't nationally known yet. Mike (who is in a band called Collapsis) and Phil Norman. Both of these guys are a lot like Patty in that they both play acoustic guitars, and do similar types of music. All you need to do is email me privately, and I'll dub the cd's and mail 'em to ya. I'm really, really wanting these guys to be heard by people outside NC and VA. Let me know.****** ~Stephanie ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 20:17:58 EST From: UMCaner74@aol.com Subject: MM: Re: Lights Out Hey guys, Ok..let me be more specific here.. I'd say LWG wise..It has to be Not Alone in particular..but that WHOLE CD in the dark is just awesome..I've done it more times than I could count! There are other's that I've listened to in the dark, but my current favorite is Nancy Micciulla's new demo (a friend of mine who's tape is available upon request) I sat here and listened to it twice over in the dark before bed last night..it was just awesome! Just that soothing and magical feeling you get from LWG in the dark. I used to do stuff like this every night, and it's amazing how relaxed and happy the right music can make you before bed. I got out of this habit for awhile, but now I think I'm going to make it a point to do this every night again. Alright..well take care everyone!! 24 DAYS TILL PATTY!! YES!!

I have just gained a reputation for bringing nothing to this list, except maybe the occasional praise of Patty and unneeded comments on split ends and castration. However, I just heard this great spoken word song on the radio, and I loved it. It was a kind of rip off of Kurt Vonnegut's Speech, I think it's called, "Everyone's free to wear sunscreen." I like it. My mom and I were listening to it together, and we both got a wee bit teary eyed. It just does that to you. Has anyone else heard it? My friends say it's corny...I still like it. What do you learned folk think? Sorry to go off track once again, but once you're hot...
