["Donald Henn" ] Re: MM: Re: Patty Reviews?/Fiona ["Ata Rivers" ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 5 Dec 1999 20:40:34 -0500 From: "Donald Henn" Subject: Re: Re:MM: No Geeks Here ! Mike , I hope my knit-picking doesn't bother you too much & that you're not thin-skinned. (You certainly don't appear to be) I like to be sure of what I'm doing & I don't want to go over any lines that you deem appropriate.I'm a little confused because , from my point of view , two of your statements seem to contradict.One says "Some posts were addressed to individuals , but the overall content of the post was Patty content that others might be interested in.... ... this IS a Patty discussion list , which is what you ARE doing." That seems to indicate approval of addressing to individuals as long as there is Patty content that other MMers might find interesting.The other one says "Also , I'd stop starting a replied list post with the persons name you are replying to. Makes it look more to the list and not a personal reply , even when there IS a lot of Patty content." Overall it seems that you're discouraging opening with a name.I'm sending this with the content of a post that I was working on when I got your E-mail. What I try to do is make it clear that her post was what elicited my response , but that my response is an open discussion intended for all MMers.These types of posts were what I found most interesting before I started posting frequently. I'd like to make it clear that there is no criticism intended here. I'm just trying to be able to express myself clearly in postings without disrupting your intended vision of the site. If you could change this posting to reflect how you would want me to approach it , & reply , it would probably be the best way to make it clear.I'll keep the NPC thing in mind. I think that the only thing I've posted with NPC was the one about the Lebanese singer facing a jail term , & I imagine that one of my misdemeanors was heading it "Patty in Jail !!!" I'll be more careful in the future. Thanks for your support Re: "Friendly Reminder". Don Thanks for the interesting response. I've been noticing that most of Patty's fans say that they were suddenly pulled into her music when they first noticed it.That's called PATTY POWER , & it's what going to make her a BIG STAR when she finally gets a breakthrough hit & pulls millions into her music. I too , was struck blind suddenly by Patty's music. I was watching David Letterman when she & the band performed "Blue Sky". The opening guitar riff caught my attention immediately , & by the time she finished those great opening lines , I was riveted. On the strength of that one performance , I drove from Pgh to Boston to see her.I was done after that. Patty pushed almost every other musician out of my musical consciousness. There was a time during the days of classic rock when great music was everywhere I turned , but now I see Patty as an oasis in a desert of popular music.I was hooked after Boston , but since I got the rarities tape & saw her three concerts in Philly & NYC two weekends ago , I've been in an obsessive state about her music. I'm still waiting for it to abate. - ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherie To: ; Donald Henn Cc: mad-mission Sent: Sunday, December 05, 1999 1:16 PM Subject: Re:MM: No Geeks Here ! > Thanks again Don!

She's grown since the last one but I notice much more of Jon Brion's production style. In fact, parts of the record really remind me of the Aimee Mann record "WHatever." >From: Songbird22@aol.com >To: gpendlet@email.msn.com, mad-mission@smoe.org >Subject: Re: MM: Re: Patty Reviews?/Fiona >Date: Sun, 5 Dec 1999 12:05:45 EST > >greg asks: > > > I heard Fiona's "Fast As You Can" for the first time yesterday on U of > > Penn's WXPN and was blown away.
