You might have heard her single 'Polyester Bride' on the radio. That song is pure pop candy to your ears...Liz's voice has never sounded to scrumptious to listen to. I heard most of the album and it is wonderful IMHO. As for Patty content to this post...umm well im listening to Forgivness right now :) its just a superduper perfect song that i adore. :) Sean ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1998 08:17:25 -0500 From: Jeff Dunnam Subject: MM: Re:Hello Hello Patty Fans, Just joined the list yesterday and wanted to introduce myself. My name's Jeff and I work and live in Houston. I've owned LWG for about 5 months and just bought Flaming over the weekend. So far, I must concur with a few of the other posts I've seen preferring the format of LWG i.e. just her and a guitar, but Flaming is definitely growing on me. Last night for the 1st time, I sat down and listened to the whole thing with the lyric sheet. That helped alot to get me to like the more raucous rocky songs, but the more melodic ones are still my favorites. As far as musical interests go, my current faves are PG Jonatha Brooke (huge fan and a member of her list) Patty Larkin Tori Amos Steve Earle Lucinda Williams Ani DiFranco Syd Straw Paula Cole (love her and the passion she shows for her music) Aria-cd of various arias given new arrangements. Very cool and I don't even like most straight opera) Steely Dan Shawn Colvin (since Steady On) Anyway, there's my current list. I was encouraged to see many of the same artists on other people's lists and look forward to being a Missionary. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1998 09:34:54 -0400 From: lgrady@lnmta.bentley.edu Subject: MM: A Video, and other faves Hi! I did get to see the OBL video last night - seems A&M got itself its own MTV - it's called the A Access channel and patty was on between 10-11 on this show with a name like world cafe or something like that... (thanks to whomever from the list helped me find this - i deleted some email recently accidently, and can't find your name) It was okay - just headshots of patty, during what looked like a performance.....(in the boston area - the a channel is channel 8...) My non patty favorites, in no particular order: Martin Sexton! Eddie from Ohio Richard Shindell The Sundays Cowboy Junkies The Story Karen Savoca Jim's Big Ego Ratsy David Wilcox James Taylor BNL Dead Can Dance Trina Hamlin Four Bitchin' Babes Miracle Legion (now defunct) Anonymous Four (classical, but they'll knock your socks off!)

She is Mare Winningham (Remember her from, I think it was, the movie St. Elmo's Fire?) Her CD is called "Lonesomers".

Patty only performed with a band in the few months before FR, and we were all used to her with only a guitar. LWG was beautiful and sparse, and I know I thought that anything Patty did would come across best when it was just two instruments ( guitar and voice ). When Flaming Red came out, I was happy to learn that the music itself wasn't what defined Patty as much as her voice and her lyrics. I love Flaming Red now, and I see it as, while not necessarily a step up for her, definitely a step on the right path. I'd love her either way. So, to get to the whole point of this email. A couple of weeks ago I received a tape from Jen (Mystchif1@aol.com) that included two or three "remix" versions of songs from LWG. It COMPLETELY blew me away. I loved the detail that the extra instruments gave to the songs, and it made them even more beautiful. I almost dare to say I would have liked LWG even better if it'd had a band on it. of course, it's easy for me to say that because now I've heard it both ways. Who knows ? Maybe I would have hated the album on initial listening if it had the band. Actually, the first time I saw Patty I didn't even like her. I bought LWG to serve as a memento of the evening, not because I thought she was anything special ( I remember getting annoyed because I couldn't understand any of the words she was singing ). I don't even know how I ended up loving the album- I'm sure I slipped it into the CD player one day to hear something different, and it grew on me. now I'm practically obsessed with her and her music. My whole pont here is that I loved the LWG remix tracks that had a band in the background. I think it really added to the songs. Of anyone else who has heard these tracks ( or heard Patty do a LWG tune w/ a band live, which I don't think she does ), what do you think ? Do you like the songs more or less with the band ? If you haven't heard the songs, you really need to hear them before judging- I never would have believed anything could add to LWG, but now I'm not so sure. If you haven't been able to get your hands on these rare tracks, It'll be on the Rarities tape Jen's making, and is planning to tree and leaf soon.

He said that people should get their tickets ASAP because they are starting to move. They have sold over 200 of a possible 600 tickets. Right now they are not sure who will open the show but there will definitely be an opener. He also said that if the shows sells out beforehand he would try to entice Patty into playing a second night. I know there has been some confusion in people I have talked to and even in the papers about which room in Mama Kin the show is taking place in so here is the word from the mans mouth(that sounds kind of bad). The show is in the Music Hall. This is the big room. It is a rectangle with the long end going front to back. It is a generally noisy smoky room so it should be interesting seeing what kind of crowd Patty brings into the place. I'm not sure how much of this has been discussed before but I hope I'm not repeating too much. Good day to everyone. Chris PS e-mail me if you want to be added to a mailing list schedule of Boston Concerts. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1998 15:15:55 EDT From: Mystchif1@aol.com Subject: MM: Rarities Hey all!! Okay, just want to keep everyone updated. As most of you know, I set up the new account and have gotten over sixty e-mails asking about the tape. I haven't responded to anyone yet cuz' I'm waiting for all the requests to come in. So don't worry if I haven't written back to you because I'm waiting to respond to everyone at once. And to clear things up a little further.... There will be no monetary exchange involved in the treeing of the tape. All you have to do is send a blank tape to your "branch" with the return postage and the tape gets sent back to you, just like that. Amazing, isn't it? :) So I encourage everyone who wants to hear more of Patty to sign up.....the faster people do this, the faster the tape will get out!!! Thanks to everyone for your patience. :) ~Jen~ Rarepatty@aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1998 12:26:40 -0700 From: DragonGrrl Subject: MM: Location, location, location...

I think because I know every note anyway, it is just enhanced and sounds really full and swooping away with it all. Love it! Music to my ears! Now I would love to hear all of LWG done that way and I never would have expected to say that as I really love Patty acoustically. By the way, Flaming Red {The song} acoustic is growing on me, I am a little slow with it. I think familiarity helps. I am slow with Wiggley Fingers also- but I do love every other song on the new album. The acoustic versions of Christina and Good Bye and Mary are so moving altho I am into them with the band as well.
