MM'ers- Anyone see the new Wilco movie ("I am trying to break your heart") yet? I just saw it tonight and I was curious to get other Patty-fan perspectives. The struggles with their old label- saying "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot has no commercial viability" sounds AWFULLY familiar!! I felt this movie was custom made for Patty fans! Really gives you some respect for what the artist goes through. It's a shame that Wilco will be on at the same time as Patty in Austin- I would have liked to see them! Anywho...just some thoughts!

But I read that David Lindley is playing with the Blind Boys of AL and that would be enough to swing my vote for their show, regardless. If you're familiar with him, you already know what an awesome musician he is. If you're not, you owe it to yourself to check him out. This information comes from www.davidlindley.com: MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST DAVID LINDLEY PERFORMS MUSIC THAT REDEFINES THE WORD "ECLECTIC." LINDLEY, WELL KNOWN FOR HIS MANY YEARS AS THE FEATURED ACCOMPANIST WITH JACKSON BROWNE, AND LEADER OF HIS OWN BAND EL RAYO-X, HAS LONG CHAMPIONED THE CONCEPT OF WORLD MUSIC. THE DAVID LINDLEY ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE EFFORTLESSLY COMBINES AMERICAN FOLK, BLUES, AND BLUEGRASS TRADITIONS WITH ELEMENTS FROM AFRICAN, ARABIC, ASIAN, CELTIC, MALAGASY, AND TURKISH MUSICAL SOURCES. LINDLEY INCORPORATES AN INCREDIBLE ARRAY OF STRINGED INSTRUMENTS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO KONA AND WEISSENBORN HAWAIIAN LAP STEEL GUITAR, TURKISH SAZ AND CHUMBUS, MIDDLE EASTERN OUD, AND IRISH BOUZOUKI. THE EYE-POPPINGLY CLAD "MR. DAVE'S UNCANNY VOCAL MIMICRY AND DEMENTED SENSE OF HUMOR MAKE HIS ONSTAGE BANTER A HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHOW. DAVID LINDLEY GREW UP IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, FIRST TAKING UP THE BANJO AS A TEENAGER, AND SUBSEQUENTLY WINNING THE ANNUAL TOPANGA CANYON BANJO AND FIDDLE CONTEST FIVE TIMES AS HE EXPLORED THE AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC TRADITION. BETWEEN 1967 AND 1971 LINDLEY FOUNDED AND LEAD WHAT MUST NOW BE SEEN AS THE FIRST WORLD MUSIC ROCK BAND, THE KALEIDOSCOPE. IN 1971, MR. DAVE JOINED FORCES WITH JACKSON BROWNE, SERVING AS JACKSON'S MOST SIGNIFICANT MUSICAL CO-CONSPIRATOR UNTIL 1981. IN 1979, LINDLEY HAD BEGUN WORKING WITH OLD FRIEND RY COODER ON 'BOP TILL YOU DROP' AND 'THE LONG RIDERS' SOUND TRACK, A MUSICAL COLLABORATION THAT LASTS TO THIS DAY, AND HAS SPAWNED MANY RECORDING PROJECTS AND SEVERAL WORLD TOURS AS AN ACOUSTIC DUO. IN 1981, LINDLEY CREATED HIS OWN REMARKABLE BAND EL RAYO-X, WHICH INTEGRATED AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC AND WORLD BEAT WITH A HEAVY REGGAE INFLUENCE. 'EL RAYO-X', 'WIN THIS RECORD' AND 'VERY GREASY', AS WELL AS A LIVE E.P. DURING THIS PERIOD HE ALSO CAME FORTH WITH A SOLO ALBUM, 'MR. DAVE'. LINDLEY AND GUITARIST HENRY KAISER WENT TO MADAGASCAR FOR TWO WEEKS IN 1991 AND RECORDED SIX ALBUMS OF INDIGENOUS MALAGASY MUSIC (INCLUDING TWO COLLABORATIVE CD'S, 'A WORLD OUT OF TIME' VOLUMES ONE AND TWO ON SHANACHIE) WHICH PROVED TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE WORLD MUSIC SCENE, BOTH FOR THE QUALITY OF THE GRAMMY NOMINATED MUSIC RECORDED, AND THE FAIR AND ETHICAL WAY THE MALAGASY MUSICIANS WERE DEALT WITH. THROUGHOUT THIS LONG AND DISTINGUISHED CAREER, LINDLEY HAS BEEN ONE OF HOLLYWOOD'S MOST IN DEMAND SESSION MUSICIANS, LENDING HIS SKILLS TO THE RECORDED WORKS OF BOB DYLAN, ROD STEWART, LINDA RONSTADT, CROSBY AND NASH, WARREN ZEVON, AND MANY OTHERS. IN 1990 A CHANCE MEETING OF LINDLEY AND JORDANIAN BORN PERCUSSIONIST HANI NASER LED TO AN IMPROMPTU JAM AND AN INSTANT DECISION THAT "WE SHOULD TAKE THIS ON THE ROAD." DAVID AND HANI TOURED THE WORLD FOR THE FOLLOWING SIX YEARS. THE DUO RECORDED TWO SELF-RELEASED "OFFICIAL BOOTLEG" COMPACT DISCS, 'LIVE IN TOKYO PLAYING REAL GOOD' AND 'LIVE ALL OVER THE PLACE PLAYING EVEN BETTER' ON PLEEMHEAD AUDIO. AT HIS EXPANSIVE AND ECLECTIC LIVE PERFORMANCES DAVID LINDLEY CONSISTENTLY GIVES ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE CONCERT EXPERIENCES AVAILABLE TO ADVENTURESOME MUSIC LISTENERS. CURRENTLY DAVID IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ROSEBUD AGENCY. Sorry if this was too much unasked-for info, but I can't put into words what an incredible talent Lindley is. I just know I wouldn't miss another chance to see him play if there was any way at all I could be there. I envy those of you attending this festival.

I've seen him live in several small club shows here in Chicago and he's just a phenomenal player. Fun, wacky, kind of a nasally voice, but hey, it all works somehow. Hearing him take on the middle-eastern instruments (especially the Saz) is a wonderful treat. I have no idea what he'd do with the Blind Boys, but I'm sure it'll be worth catching. I shall be there! ;) Dave - -----Original Message----- From: owner-mad-mission@smoe.org [mailto:owner-mad-mission@smoe.org]On Behalf Of Melanie Holley Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2002 5:39 AM To: mad-mission@smoe.org Subject: MM: RE: no Patty/ ACL festival conflict If you're familiar with him, you already know what an awesome musician he is.

Not being a frequent viewer of CMT, I'm just wondering if there's a particular time when we're more likely to see the "Chief" video, or a particular show?? Thanks!! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Sep 2002 20:04:33 -0700 From: "Chris" Subject: MM: Re: When can we see "Chief"? If history repeats itself, 'Chief' will probably be on MWL at least a few more times, if we keep voting for it. If not, these are the next times it is being shown (sometime in the hour)... Sept 9 at... 2:00am, 8:30am, 3:00pm EST CMT posts their programming schedule on their site, just click "on cmt" and then "tv schedule" on CMT.com to find out the general time a video will air. You can also check it out at Rollingstone.com and Launch.com Here's a link to vote for it on CMT: http://www.cmt.com/cmt/request/mwl.vote.jhtml ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V6 #329 *********************************
