Virginia last summer (and she did a number with the Girls at the end, too) and she really did have this amazing, intense voice and very cool lyrics. I'd forgotten her name by now, so thanks for reminding me, and thanks for this info on her CD. I'm going to check it out. - -Joanie - -----Original Message----- From: NeuroticView@aol.com To: mad-mission@smoe.org Date: Friday, March 23, 2001 11:20 PM Subject: MM: Artist Comparison >MM's- > >Just a little someone, else, to pass the Patty-less days...... > >I recently attented a concert for a local band, Over the Rhine.

It plays what attracts the advertisers. The "best" radio station in Seattle just fired one of it's best DJ's. They aren't telling why of course, but it's a damn shame. But anyway, this DJ would get into detail about how radio works. She was very concerned about the music and her fans. (Perhaps that's why she was let go) Basically, it's all numbers. The owners don't care what the music is, but what the bottom line is. I'm thinking that radio should be just as worried about the internet and Napster like deals as the record companies. Why wade through all the ads to hear a couple of songs you like, when you can download, burn a CD, and have everything you want in a matter of hours? I mean, we don't need radio anymore. Not if it's only going to pander to certain very narrow cross sections of the radio public. That's why you don't hear much Ani DeFranco, Patty, Jonatha Brooke. They just aren't a "safe" and proven commodity yet. (Though to give it credit, KMTT, the station here, plays a lot of stuff you just don't hear elsewhere, including Ani, Patty, and Jonatha. They have a KILLER recording of Patty live from their studio!) ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Not true, not true! Um. Yeah, I'm back from bidness. Computer seminars are geek central, but ATL rocks the house. I've never eaten vegetarian so awesomely. Vegetarian Del Sol??? and especially Ria's Bluebird...these places kick the phat ass house. Anyway, the whole reason I'm on this list is because of a commercial radio station. I can't recall the call letters or name of it (I think they call themselves the X or something). Let's go back in dream sequence, shall we? doo doo doo. doo doo doo. doo doo doo. Paul's driving down to FLA in a big bad U-Haul. He's chucking the finger to everyone passing him and finishing off a fifth, getting closer and closer to Birmingham, AL. He's switching radio stations trying to find one worthy of his ear. Then wham-o. Penguins everywhere. No, actually... He hears a song playing and he says to himself, "hey, self! That singer sounds like that chick I've got that Cd of...what's her name? Patty Griffin. Yeah, you can shoot me later, but I swear that sounds like her." Then after the next song the DJ dude comes on the radio and says "that's right, Paul. You were indeed listening to Patty Griffin's latest release off the Flaming Red album. She'll be here at the blah blah blah in August blah blah blah..." And Paul's like "holy bleepin shit" (okay ,I didn't say bleepin) "I thought Patty was in music-artist never-never land. And she's being played on the radio right here in Birmingham! I've gotta find her on the web." So, Paul finally reaches PNS and surfed the web. Then this list popped up, he joins, he buys Flaming Red, he becomes a crack head with his pants around his ankles, and he's here now off and on when he's not drinking or studying. End of dream sequence. doo doo doo. doo doo doo. doo doo doo. So, there are exceptions out there; but I do reason that you are mostly correct in your line of thinking, there Nikki. ***************on another note of very little importance********** Hey, while I was away, my friend and I were riding around with my friend's cousin to the Vege del Soul (or whatever the hell it's called...I don't know). Anyway, were weaving in and out of traffic and she puts in a Patsy Cline CD saying "I hope y'all like Patsy Cline." The CD starts playing "Crazy" and I said, "I like Patsy Cline alright, but I like Patty Griffin's version of "Crazy" better." Then she turned around with a grin and was like "Patty Griffin???? She's my favorite artist." I was like "No way! You know about Patty Griffin??? She's my favorite, too! I've never met someone who even knows who Patty Griffin is." She was like, "Yeah, I've got both her CDs! She's awesome!!" Then my friend was like, "yeah, I listened to those CDs you gave me, Paul, and I thought it was okay, but not that great." So, we shot him and flung his body out the door while we were still driving. Nah, but it was still a pretty cool experience meeting someone who likes Patty Griffin. It's like having a 66 Mustang and strangers come up to you and start talking about their Mustangs. It's like a family thing. A bond among strangers. **********one more thing************* I'd have to say that "Flaming Red" is awesome!!! especially the single. Punk is king, baybee! And I absolutely LOVE the "Silver Bell" single, too. Oh my God. It's so rockin. It kicks ass! But then, I'm not an extremely big folk-kind-of-guy. Living With Ghosts was my first Patty Griffin experience, and I fell in love with her stuff regardless of it being folk. Her voice is fookin groovin. As for which CD is better...who cares? It's Patty Griffin!!!! The Causeyway could sing "Songs to Fart By" and I'd still dig 'em. Why? Because they're Causeyway, THAT'S why. It's time to get the drunken party on!! whoo hoo! Happy Saturday NIGHT!!!

But whoever said she sounds like Patty Griffin must have smoked a lot of some illegal substance that day - they're worlds apart vocally and stylistically in my opinion. Maybe because they both have a folky vibe? I don't know. She is incredibly talented and her CD is often playing in my car. Parhelion - the song that was written in memory of Teena Brandon gets me every time. :) - --Elena > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-mad-mission@smoe.org [mailto:owner-mad-mission@smoe.org]On > Behalf Of NeuroticView@aol.com > Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 8:19 PM > To: mad-mission@smoe.org > Subject: MM: Artist Comparison > > > MM's- > > Just a little someone, else, to pass the Patty-less days...... > > I recently attented a concert for a local band, Over the > Rhine.
