The first nun said, "I was cleaning in Father's room the other day and do you know what I found? A bunch of pornographic magazines." "What did you do?" the other nuns asked. "Well, of course I threw them in the trash." The second nun said, "Well, I can top that. I was in Father's room putting away the laundry and I found a bunch of condoms!" "Oh my!" gasped the other nuns. "What did you do?" they asked. "I poked holes in all of them!" she replied. The third nun fainted. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 07:28:35 -0600 From: Mark Cicero Subject: MM: RE: Lights out Sonata for flute and piano by Martineau Concerto in G for flute by Mozart Laurie Anderson's (performance artist) first Album I think it's called "Big Science" much of it is spoken and she's has a wonderful speaking voice that just draws you into her compositions. - -----Original Message----- From: Perlman, Judith [mailto:PerlmanJ@UJAFEDNY.ORG] Sent: Monday, March 29, 1999 3:54 PM To: 'mad-mission@smoe.org' Subject: MM: Lights out What music would you put on at 3 a.m. and listen to in the dark?

I would have to listen to LWG, then "Lightening Crashes" by Live, and anything by Melissa Etheridge. By that time I would be so wide awake that I would have to put on some new age stuff to calm myself down. If that didn't work I'd put on Flaming Red and just go with the flow. Beth Hart Band is great and so is Grey Eye Glances. Lot's more good stuff out there if you can find it.

In candle light, my ideal albums are: Faure's Requeim Jeff Buckley - Grace Joni Mitchell - Ladies of the Canyon Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan Chopin - Piano Concertos Mozart - Eine Kline Nacht Musik Frank Sinatra - The Capitol Years (with slow dance partner) Andrea Bocelli (anything but his duet with Celine Dion) Shawn Colvin - Live '88 ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I know this is Patty's list and all, but I think Patty ROCKS just a little too much for "lights out at 3:00 AM". I need something a little more mellow, and I DID discover Patty through my membership on another list.... So here goes: Without a doubt, the best 3:00 AM lights out music EVER is... drum roll, please...... Jackson Browne - Late for the Sky. Talk about CLASSIC!!! This is one of the best albums ever created, and DEFINITLEY the best "lights out" music. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 10:36:37 -0500 From: "Perlman, Judith" Subject: MM: Lights out, thanks Before I put the harness back on, I wanted to say "Wow!" I'm amazed by the response this got, in terms of quantity, enthusiasm, and diversity. You people are like an encyclopedia of music! What's also interesting to me is the different way people interpreted what listening to music in the dark at 3 am means. For some people it's to relax, others to brood. What it meant to me - and your responses are a good reminder not to be arrogant and assume everyone thinks the way you do - was listening when you're in pain, maybe even one notch away from the safety razor. Also, as healing. That's what it was for me last year after my cousin, who was like a 2nd father to me, died in a car accident, and I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me - all in one week. There's more, but I'll spare you. So sometimes it was LWG, sometimes ( a lot!) Peter Gabriel, sometimes Mozart or Beethoven. When I'm all wired up and need to relax, it's Bach. Thanks for all the great responses. Judy ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 09:38:11 -0600 From: "Paquin, John" Subject: MM: Lights Out (again) Oooh, I love everyone's suggestions. This is a great way to learn about new artists, or old artists. Speaking of which, I forgot to mention "Nick Drake" on my original list of candlelight fav's. He was a very mellow acoustic artist of the early 70's. Unfortunately, like so many other great artists, he didn't make it out of that time period alive. He died in 1974 at the age of 26.

BUT, when she ain't here..... A WONDERFUL SONG ---- Present Tense-Pearl Jam ANOTHER WONDERFUL SONG--- Life Without You-Stevie Ray Vaughan YET ANOTHER--The Rain Song-Led Zepellin albums..... Wish You Were Here-Pink Floyd James Taylor...anything Among My Swan-Mazzy Star .... (if you haven't listened much to Mazzy Star, do this now) Freedom Sessions-Sarah Mclachlan Kind Of Blue-Miles Davis any John Gorka....the man sings me to sleep I definitely dig Nil Lara Blood On The Tracks-Bob Dylan X-Files Soundtrack kicks major ass! Any mellow Blind Melon I think I've listed enough, don't you? Ok, so I really think y'all need to hear Present Tense by Pearl Jam....the lyrics make me smile. So, I know, many people don't like PJ, but I'm going to provide a quote from the song for you. "You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets. Or you can come to terms and realize, you're the only one who can forgive yourself. It makes much more sense to live in the present tense..." YEAH EDDIE!!!!!!

I like it. My mom and I were listening to it together, and we both got a wee bit teary eyed. It just does that to you. Has anyone else heard it? My friends say it's corny...I still like it. What do you learned folk think?>>>>>>>>>>>>> ok, but only since you asked, i'll offer my opinion: it's the worst piece of drivel i've ever had the misfortune to hear. if i want to be preached to, i'll go to church with all those catholics that aleixa2 apologized to on this list recently. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 11:17:21 EST From: MistyBC@aol.com Subject: MM: IG 4.5 & Nashville Nancy asked: >indigo girls - swamp ophelia or rites of passage (someone mentioned 4.5. >is that a bootleg?) No, it's an import (I've seen it recently at Tower). I got it for Xmas two years ago, and it's the only Indigo Girls CD that I ever listen to. I have all the others, I just like this one most! It's a greatest hits of sorts. Very good. :) Oh, some Patty content!!! You Nashville folks--Patty's playing at 328 Performance Hall with Lucinda Williams on May 18 and 19. Please God... Let this be an all ages show!!!!!! :) Three Patty shows in only one month!!!! How cool is that?! Be excellent! Misty :) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 12:00:12 -0500 From: "Perlman, Judith" Subject: MM: Hopefully the end Two more things and I promise I'll stop bothering you. 1) Chris Isaak's "Blue" is a great album to 3 am brood to. 2) I forgot to say that I also use music to help crank myself up, especially for things I don't feel like doing - like cleaning. And to wake up. I usually don't really wake up till 2 hours after I've arisen. It seems like I'm awake, but really it's just a zombie with my face. "Flaming Red" is good for this, as is U2 and anything by The Rolling Stones. Also, anything by The Beatles. Does anyone else do this? Or does everyone just get down to business without prodding? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 11:51:30 EST From: JohnRN24@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: Lights out/ is "Nobody Crying" on CD? Somebody mailed me asking if Nobody Crying was on CD. Unfortunately, most of my/our fav Patty songs are not but I met this guy who had a CD burner from Phillips Magnavox, and said to myself "self, why doesn't somebody on the list burn the rarities tape onto a CD so that there will ALWAYS be a master copy?" Now, my friend lives in San Diego, CA and I Toledo, OH ... so I was hoping that one of you with a CD burner or a rich friend might dub the rarities album from tape to CD. Just a thought! :-) John ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 11:11:06 -0600 From: donna.c.sytsma@ac.com Subject: Re: MM: Re: NPC: Just a note,on this new spoken word song Here are the words to that spoken word song... Personally, I really don't like it. In addition, I think that it's a take off of a graduation speech from a few years back. Does anyone know about this speech? D. Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine. Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing every day that scares you. Sing. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone. Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's. Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room. Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out. Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth. But trust me on the sunscreen. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 12:37:09 -0500 From: "Luca, Joseph" Subject: RE: MM: Re: NPC: Just a note,on this new spoken word song Howdy. While I've never heard the song, I have heard about the text. Mistakenly attributed to Kurt Vonnegut (a graduation speech to MIT that he never made), the piece was actually written about a year ago by a Chicago columnist whose name, of course, I don't recall. If I remember correctly, she wrote it with not particularly serious intentions, perhaps even as a spoof of Vonnegut's trademark style. Please feel free to amplify these incomplete recollections...

I know, you didn't MEAN to start a new thread, but you brought up a subject that I have been meaning to ask about for some time... Re: "getting cranked up". I happen to run on a treadmill at this neat workout place called "cardio-theater". The reason I like it is because you can put on headsets and listen to CDs, the radio, or even watch the boob-tube. There are two or three CDs that fit in perfectly with my workout. They just naturally start out with time to warm up, or get motivated, then progress pretty steadily. Then, when I think I might DROP DEAD from exhaustion, something really ROCKIN' comes on to keep me going. The question is: what is your favorite music to work out with? Mine are Patty Griffin - Flaming Red, and Jackson Browne - Lives in the Balance, (BTW the title track from this one is my "song of the week" due to the bombing in Yugoslavia). I guess y'all might be picking up a bit of a trend with me? Alright, I'll come out - I'm a Jackson Browne fan!!! It will be fun to hear from anyone who has a favorite in this category...
