Flaming sounds great though, different but very very cool, the only dissapointment is G-Bye... it's definately all around Patty, can't wait to see her live w/a full ensamble. when listening to the new sound it's like i hear it and it can sound 80's with the sythesizers, then heavy metal with the slamming guitar riffs, it's definately nuttin like Ghosts.... but hey that's an all around good growth thing, right. any thoughts?? shawnte' ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 May 1998 08:27:03 EDT From: CornflkGl Subject: Re: Re: MM: peter pan In a message dated 5/13/98 11:41:25 AM, you wrote: <> I dunno.

He's lost the competiton, the girls are gonna beat him up backstage, and he's going to be exported back to Sarajevo !" Well....ok, he never says that, but you get the point. Very much a pessimist, very good at jinxing people and over-reacting when they fall or flub up. As for all this "fighting" going on on the list right now.... I like it. I like people having their own opinions. I LOVE the fact that noone has resorted to name calling. I've been on the Jewel list since spring of '96, and at times it has gotten very, VERY ugly in there. I like the fact that we can all state our opinions here, and while others don't have to agree, we can DISCUSS it without acting like thirteen year olds :). Viva opinions ! Viva variety ! Viva people with manners ! Yay, yay, we rule !!! :) Rachel :D ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 May 1998 08:39:43 -0400 From: Jason Kreuter Subject: MM: Mercury Lounge Hi all, I was wondering who was going to be at the Mercury Lounge Show in NYC? I am going to miss the show by 8 hrs due to airline scheduling! Are there any other tapers on this list going to that show?

I already know Poor Man and Lorraine from seeing her play them, but have not been able to figure out the rest. Guess I was too busy just watching her. I don't know much about tablature, but your basic AGD is very clear.

I already know Poor Man and Lorraine from seeing her play them, but have not been able to figure out the rest. Guess I was too busy just watching her. I don't know much about tablature, but your basic AGD is very clear. In "Mad Mission", she capos up to the 5th fret and fingers G and D back and forth. I believe the "to the loving cup" part is Em to A. In "As usual we're having one hell of a time" (can't remember the title), she's playing an Am G F C progression that goes to F C G Am (?) on "take a walk on the bridge". I can't remember if she uses a capo or not, but I've seen her finger these chords, so you should be able to find where she puts it. You've inspired me to check into this tonite, so if no one else follows up, maybe I'll have more for you.... Good luck! -Matt ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 May 1998 17:07:28 -0400 From: Amy_Emerman@time-inc.com Subject: MM: tickets to mercury ok. I am a dickface. Here I thought I was going to see Patty at the Mercury Lounge tomorrow nite (it's listed in the Village Voice for Saturday nite, which is wrong)...but anyway...here I was very excited, 'cause I had given my friend money to get a ticket for me, who lives around the corner for the Mercury Lounge, and he apparently tried several times and were told they were downstairs and to come back another time when it was less busy...and now he just called me and told me they are SOLD OUT...and I am devastated. Does anyone have an extra ticket that I could buy? Money is not an issue. Of course, I've known about this show for awhile, but didn't think it would sell out so quickly. Am I an asshole or am I an asshole? Well, email me privately if you have any extra tix. Thanks, Amy P.S. My consolation is that I am going to see Natalie Merchant sing for free at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine tonight, which is less than a block from my apartment at a memorial tribute for Allen Ginsberg, along with a bunch of other poets, artists, etc. And the stupid Seinfeld party at Tom's Diner is also less than a block away from where I live. But fuck it, I wanna see Patty!!!!! :( ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 May 1998 18:00:50 -0400 From: "LB" Subject: MM: Re: opening acts The perfect concert!

All I know is that when he told me the track listing about two months back, Mike Baker also told me that A&M Records was going to send a "One Big Love" single to the radio stations at the same time they would send the advance CD of Flaming Red.

According to the slip included, I was only charged for the Patty tickets... I planned to go to Lilith, too, but I wasn't sure what level seats I was going to get--now I've got 2 tickets of the $40 each variety! First of all, I'm not sure if it was a computer snafu or something and I'm going to end up with $80 more ticket charges on my credit cart... Second of all, does anyone know if this is some sort of promo or something where you get Lilith tickets with Patty tickets? It seems VERY unlikely, but maybe it's just some awesome perk I didn't know about... If anyone knows anything about this or has any ideas, please let me know! thanks, lovin' man JT *** Joshua 'schwa' Loring Colvin Tropp Swarthmore College 500 College Avenue Swarthmore, PA 19081 e-mail: jtropp1@swarthmore.edu phone (610) 690-3563 "...I had yet to see myself become part of a story. I had as yet no notion that life every now and then becomes literature--not for long, of course, but long enough to be what we best remember, and often enough so that what we eventually come to mean by life are those moments when life, instead of going sideways, backwards, forward, or nowhere at all, lines out straight, tense and inevitable, with a complication, climax, and, given some luck, a purgation, as if life had been made and not happened..." - --Norman Maclean, USFS 1919: The Ranger, the Cook, and a Hole in the Sky "...the word timshel--'Thou mayest'--that gives a choice. It might be the most important choice in the whole world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on man. For if 'Thou mayest'--it is also true that 'Thou mayest not'...this is a ladder to climb the stars...you can never lose that. It cuts the feet from under weakness and cowardliness and laziness...And I feel that a man is a very important thing--maybe more important than a star. This is not theology. I have no bent toward gods. But I have a new love for that glittering instrument, the human soul. It is a lovely and unique thing in the universe. It is always attacked and never destroyed--because 'Thou mayest." - --John Steinbeck, East of Eden ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 May 1998 11:51:42 -0400 From: "rick sayre" Subject: MM: Re: YAY!!
