[Jerry Skomer Subject: Re: MM: Tift Merrit's Bramble Rose Like Sean, I also picked up the Tift Merrit disc today at Best Buy...needed something new for the road trip to a show, & had seen her mentioned in the No Depression issue w/ the Patty article. I like it as well. Listened to it once each way to & from the show. Her voice reminds me of Iris DeMent at times, though a bit less twangy...which is a good thing. So, yeah. Check it out, folks. >From: "Sean and Rebecca Courtney" To: Subject: MM: Tift Merrit's Bramble >Rose Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 20:47:55 -0500 > >I posted this on another music list earlier, and thought I'd pass it along >here: > >Let me add to those who have already recommended Tift Merrit's Bramble >Rose.

I didn't like the tift merritt cd when I first got. It was a blind purchased based on comparisons that many had made to Dusty Springfield. However, after listening to it a few times, it's a really solid cd. It is a little more mainstream sounding than Gillian and Co. and I've even seen a video on CMT, but I definitely think it's worthy. Plus, you can't beat 7.99. you could always pawn i off on half.com if it doesn't suit you. The new Kelly Willis cd is really good too, as is the new Kim Richey.....just a recommendation for you guys and gals. mike ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2002 09:49:08 -0700 From: Jerry Skomer Subject: MM: Silver Bell dilemma--I need he lp! Hey everyone: Just recently I obtained a copy of Silver Bell, and I have to say that I just love it. I am still exploring the CD--there's a lot to discover--but I can say the first five cuts on my copy (starts with "Little God") are simply fabulous. If I get the chance, I will write a little more about it: the mysterious fusion of sounds in "Little God" to the unbelievable pure joy of music making in "Truth @#2). I feel a little overwhelmed to have explored two Patty Griffin CDs, "Silver Bell" and "1000 Kisses," this year. What an absolute feast for the ears and mind!! But having said that, here is my dilemma: I feel a little uneasy about enjoying "Silver Bell" knowing that Patty receives absolutely nothing in return. This doesn't feel right to me, and I want to do something about it. So, I am turning to the hard core fan base to ask what you guys think I/we should do here. My first thought is to send one of Patty's agents $15.00-20.00 and include a note that says something like: "Thanks for the Perfect White Girl." Or perhaps we can figure out an anagram for Silver Bell and we can use it as a secret code that we sending money for Silver Bell (an anagram is too obscure an idea I suppose)! Some of you may think I've lost my mind (so what's new?), but I want to pay something for this tremendous effort. I hope others feel similarly and want to join me in this little crusade. We would need to be careful not to say that we're paying directly for Silver Bell or previous record label may get upset. Just send the money with a sly reference to the CD . . . And no return address so that the money can't be returned. Okay, let me have it . . .

Maybe we could send silver dollars :^) I, unfortunately, don't have a copy of Silver Bell. Anyone willing to burn me a copy? I'd gladly send you two blank cds, plus postage. I also have a couple of Aimee Mann live shows I could trade, if anyone is interested. Thanks.

It's fantastic! I was so surprised to see that there are three tracks from the Somerville, MA show (4/26/02) on the Compilation. I didn't think anyone recorded that show, but someone must have! Since I got my copy of the compilation after the tree was created, I don't even know who made the CDs, but perhaps you have the complete show. I went to this show on my birthday so it's really special to me. If anyone out there has the complete show, could you get in touch to see if we can work out a trade?

Everyone: Since some of us are into my idea of sending Patty some cash for her labors, I am hoping that someone has the address of Patty's managers. Patty's personal manager would be best, I suppose, as s/he will be in relative constant contact with her. Anyone have that address? Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2002 20:18:16 -0700 From: Jerry Skomer Subject: MM: Yeah, it's corny, but she'll get the point Hi Everybody: Tonight I wrote the letter below and included a $20.00 bill. I sent it to Patty's management address in Tennessee. I did not sign the letter. Please just send whatever you can afford. I can afford $20.00, so I decided that was an okay amount for me. Others may want to pay the price of a CD or therabouts. But anything counts--it's symbolic and says alot about how screwed up her previous record label is. It would be funny if everyone wrote basically the same letter. She'd know wher all this came from. Kinda funny, if you ask me. Sorta like that old Arlo Guthrie song about everybody walking in an singing the same song when they showed up for the draft into the military! Here is what I wrote: "August 19, 2002 Dear Patty: Here's some silver. Well actually it's cash. It is my way for thanking you for being a perfect white girl and so much more. What's this all about? Don't ask, you may not like the truth out of my mouth. Sooner or later, you'll understand. Thanks for surviving." ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V6 #310 *********************************
