I'm sure they're familiar to a lot of you out there, especially the Curtis and Eatman (recommended on this list!): Juliet Turner -- Burn the Black Suit. Some really good stuff going on here --- great lyrics, a lovely Irish-accented voice, some imaginative arrangements and really engaging tunes -- all wrapped up in the worst production I've heard in ages. It all sounds like it's coming from a bucket in the basement, muddy and indistinct. Listening to it on headphones improves it a bit -- the bucket sounds like it's at least in the same room. Apart from her and Brian Kennedy joining forces to murder a Tom Waits cover, this is definitely one to watch out for, and would be classic ecto.if you could hear it. Ben Lee -- Breathing Tornadoes. This is already a couple of years old, but it's worth checking out. A sort of David Gray with a snarl in his voice, electric beats bubbling under pensive musings from left field. Although performed almost totally by Ben and his producer, Ed Bueller, there are a couple of odd guests - - - Sean Lennon does backing vocals on one track, Donovan Leitch on another, Buffy St. Marie is sampled, and Harmony Korine is co-credited on one of the songs. (Yep, Harmony Korine, filmmaker and --more importantly, imho -- grandson of Bowery Boy Huntz Hall. Now THAT's pedigree.) Ben's working on a follow-up, which promises to be a lot poppier, but he's worth keeping an ear out for. Catie Curtis -- My Shirt Looks Good on You. Hmmm. Dunno. Average folkie songstress, Sarah Harmer minor. There's nothing wrong about it -- she sings well, her heart's in the right place and the songs kick along nicely -- but nothing particularly standout. Still, I'd buy another of hers. Just to see where it's all going. Heather Eatman -- Real and Mascara Falls. Thanks to whoever on the Patty Griffin list mentioned this. I like these, like them a lot -- kind of like Jill Sobule, without the cheeky, observational sense of humour. Count me in. Well, it'll do me until the new Patty comes out. adam k. np -- Tanya Donnelly/beautysleep (but that's another story..)

I have an extra ticket for tomorrow (Saturday) evening's sold-out "Down from the Mountain" show at Boston's Wang Center. Alison Krauss and Union Station, Emmylou Harris, Ralph Stanley, Patty Loveless, and others are scheduled to perform. The show starts at 8:00. The seat is in the fifth row of the orchestra, left of center. I don't have the ticket in front of me, and I don't recall exactly what I paid...I believe that the face value was $75, and the various fees and charges brought the cost to between $85 and $90. But as a "left-of-center" guy myself, I say "the heck with the service charges!" For the mere (ahem) price of $75 (or perhaps even less, once I look at the ticket), this extra ticket can be yours. If you're interested, please email me back. I'll be here until about 5:45 ET today, after which I won't have access to my email. Thanks! Ciao, Joe ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 Feb 2002 00:11:48 -0500 From: Jennifer Caputo Subject: MM: PattyGriffin.net world premiere! Drumroll please.... I'd like to announce the grand unveiling of our little pet project, Time Does the Talking: http://www.pattygriffin.net We've been working our booties off to try to create a Patty site that is up to date, comprehensive, and content-full. We really think we've managed to get it with this site. You can figure this stuff out by visiting the site but in case you aren't sure if you want to go or not, here's a a little bit about our content: News - all the latest Patty news Bio - a current bio updated from Rachel's "Everything you ever wanted to know.." Press - a collection of Patty articles and reviews Photos - photos from concerts/studio shots/etc. In Concert - Full archive of concert date from 1994 on. Includes setlists and reviews!

I really hope you guys like this because I spent a lot of time customizing it to fit our needs as a community! Mad Mission - all about this list. Here's the thing... If you have netscape 4 or lower or IE 3 or lower you will lose a lot of functionality on the site. I used javascript and iframes which are not supported on lower version of these browsers... however, I tried to keep the code clean enough that the pages will still be navigatable to those of you who haven't downloaded the (FREE) updates. if you want to view the site in all of it's glory then come on - get with the times and update the browser!!! Please please please send me any comments/criticism/adivce ... I want this page to be for you guys so anything I can do to make the site more pleasurable to you then I need to know about it :-) Enjoy guys! - Jen http://www.pattygriffin.net ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ AIM: traDMB http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~jcaputo ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V6 #31 ********************************
