Or the guy who lifted my "Shitty Neil Young Songs" box set last week from my car (I was gonna trade that set in for the door stop I've had my eye on at my favorite used record store). So, Sean, is your Neil section in chron order, alphabetized, or organized in descending order from brilliant through "Piece of Crap"? Other MMers- Sean's mutual appreciation of Neil Young inspired me, via our obvious connection and hopefully somewhat convergent tastes, to recommend Joseph Arthur, especially his album "Come to Where I'm From". Three of my desert island discs: PG's LWG, Joseph Arthur's above-mentioned, and Neil Young's "On the Beach". Thanks, Sean. Hope to see the day when my PG collection outpaces Neil's.

I was reading my favorite magazine, Esquire ( April 2002 edition), when guess what I saw on page 65?!!! I saw Patty's picture and a small blurb. The blurb is as follows: The next Emmylou Harris (in bold print) Patty Griffin arrrives with a slew of appealing yarns, an acoustic axe, and a voice that will turn manly men to mush. 1000 Kisses comes out April 9. Now how cool is that????

Having to pull an all-nighter for a client in St. Louis, I brought a few recent CD purchases to keep me company. Until that night, I had pretty much played only "Every Little Bit," which I had heard on now-defunct KSCA. Because I was sometimes slow to switch the CD, I was also vaguely familiar with the subsequent song, "Time Will Do The Talking." This time, with my itchy fingers otherwise engaged by massive Excel spreadsheets, I finally let LWG play all the way through--six times! I was blown away, and vowed to stop my terrible habit of listening to only the familiar stuff on my new acquisitions, a promise to myself that I'm actually keeping. Anyway, I remember one other pleasant surprise from that long night, "Songs For The Daily Planet" by Todd Snider. I now own four of his releases, and I recommend "Daily Planet" and the more recent "Happy To Be Here," while I suggest you avoid "Viva Satellite." His up-tempo songs are engaging and very often quite funny, too. He struggles some with ballads (most of his border on, or squarely reside in, Maudlin), and the pop culture references in some of his earlier stuff are dated, but the two CD's I mentioned above each contain a half-dozen worthy efforts. Check him out (Randy did!). Peace, Larry I in LA *My Top 10 (at the risk of starting yet another NPC thread!) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Beatles) Who's Next (The Who) Heat Treatment (Graham Parker & The Rumour) This Year's Model (Elvis Costello) Blood On The Tracks (Bob Dylan) Graceland (Paul Simon) Purple Rain (Prince & The Revolution) Living With Ghosts (Patty Griffin) I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (Sinead O'Connor) Born To Run (Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band) - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 7:33 PM Subject: MM: Interactive Patty > Is known to ? > Just wondering cause Kasey Chambers did, Buddy Miller did as did my man Todd Snider....all Chicago shows. ------------------------------ Date: 14 Mar 2002 11:31:12 -0800 From: beccasean@peoplepc.com Subject: Re: MM: Patty, Neil & Joe Lost twin? For your sake, I hope not. My Neil section is patterned as such: official releases are in chrono order, supplemented by CD versions of the "missing six," followed by the Archives Be Damned 2000 set, the Rock N Roll Cowboy set, and then a whole mees (literally - I need to clean them up and organize them bad) of boots and comps. I had not heard of Joseph Aurthur, but will now, with your glowing recommendation in hand, make it my bee's-wax to check him out. On the Beach could be the greatest rock album of all time, IMHO.

My name is John Higgins and I, um, put together the Love From My Lips CDs (2...working on the 3rd) along with a couple of other fans. We did in fact NOT include Top Of The World on any of the discs so far, so I must add myself to the list of confused people when you say you have it on LFML. Is there a chance you got confused ('cos you have so many bootlegs!) or I wonder if someone took the original LFMLs and changed them...which actually would tick me off. But hey - I guess a bootlegger can't complain about being bootlegged. Anyway, could I ask you to check for me on this and let me know, if it IS on a LFML you have - which one, what does the cover art look like, and what songs are on it?

GO CHAPIN! GO CHAPIN! > (sung in the style of "go ricky" > > , and she does some ghood > stuff herself-Twist and shout, I feel lucky. I agree that Chapin is the greatest, but those two songs are not even in the top 25 of her best, as far as I'm concerned. Try "Come On, Come On," or "I am a Town," or "Stones in the Road." Then there's "Only a Dream," "The Last Word," "You Win Again," "John Doe #24".... The list goes on and on. She is a great lyricist and a great musician. Definitely one of my top 5 favorite female singer/songwriters! And I wholeheartedly agree with the earlier Todd Snider recommendation. Try Robert Earl Keen and Charlie Robison if you like Todd.

Mary-Chapin's best songs were never played on the radio for fear of their "folk-ness" shining through. She definately is too complex to be a country artist. I would really recommend "This Shirt" as a good starter song to delve into her stuff or even just her last CD. "Time*Sex*Love" is one of the folkiest cds she's put out since "Stones In The Road". i am enthralled by her over and over again! :) ~tim ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 19:08:06 -0600 From: "Sean and Rebecca Courtney" Subject: MM: Re: Patty in Atlanta Oh my, Patty in the South?
