I don't specify that everyone has to send me Taiyo-Yuden CDs or that everything has to include source info and coverart and whatever. But at the same time, I also attend about 75 shows and festivals each year, and I tape a good bunch of those that I attend. I also have a collection of live music shows on CD and DAT numbering into the hundreds, maybe even over a thousand (I am SOOOO far behind on updating my lists!!!) << Enter Rant Mode >> OK, so I could probably overlook the TAO problem, and I could take some time and fix it before I offer these CDs back to this list, or to any other list or friends of mine. But the CDs arent even listenable! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2004 16:53:40 -0400 From: lambiris.peter@cb-bc.gc.ca Subject: MM: RE: KCRW show on Thursday :-)))) Somehow(I'm computer dysfunctional) I saved Patty's KCRW radio show and it saved as an mp3. I now have a copy I can burn for the first five(hopefully you will offer it up to others)who contact me. It's a beautiful concert/interview. Question to the computer-literati. I've tried saving other shows(Sam Phillips, etc.)but they don't appear as mp3..they're now some kind of .ram-wrap extension and I can't save them. Any ideas out there? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-mad-mission@smoe.org [mailto:owner-mad-mission@smoe.org]On Behalf Of Dierk Schlie Sent: June 15, 2004 3:31 PM To: mad-mission@smoe.org Subject: MM: KCRW show on Thursday :-)))) Hi all, Patty will appear on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" on Thursday, 11:15 am PDT http://www.kcrw.com/show/mb They usually have a real time video web cast running and a very good audio stream via Shoutcast (http://www.kcrw.com/online/) ... so at least the European Patty freaks have something to watch and listen. It will be rebroadcasted twice on http://www.kcrwmusic.com/ ... so turn on your computers/radios ... dierk :-) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2004 17:55:55 EDT From: Tbird930@aol.com Subject: MM: Patty's show last night at the Ford Theatre! Hey, everybody - Finally got to see Patty LIVE, last night at the Ford Theatre. It a wonderful show -- the theatre is outdoors, near the Hollywood Bowl, but much smaller and more intimate. Patty came on around 9 and proceeded to dazzle everyone with her gorgeous voice and great band. It was an incredibly QUIET group - between verses you literally could have heard a pin drop, that's how much we all revere Patty. Couldn't have asked for a better evening or a better crowd. During her encores, her little dog came onstage and caused her to stop near the end of "Florida" to pick her up. She never finished the song, saying "If you wanna hear how it ends, get the record" - everyone LOVED this, it was fantastically spontaneous and cool. I wanted to meet Patty after the show ((I'd brought a Bruce Springsteen concert banner to give her), but although they WERE having a "meet and greet" afterwards, it was restricted to people who had particular passes, which was unbelievably disappointing. I think if there's going to be a "meet and greet" ANYONE who wants to stay should be able to, not just people who have preferred status. Don't you agree? Very disappointed about that, but otherwise it was fantastic. Also - when Patty was doing her soundcheck, around 7:00, we could HEAR it through the doors of the auditorium - that was extremely cool, and she sounded wonderful even for that. A lot of us were getting food (they have excellent food there, and nice wine too, which you could take in the theatre during the show even), and we were definitely getting off on being able to hear the sound check. I hope somebody was recording this show, that's all I can say! Her versions of Perfect White Girls, Flaming Red and Forgiveness were especially outstanding, but it was all great, every song, every moment. - - Robby ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2004 19:56:00 EDT From: PinkChanel@aol.com Subject: MM: HeraldNet: Quixotic PattyGriffin putting it all together Published: Friday, June 18, 2004 Quixotic Patty Griffin putting it all together Newsday [<--- See??? Yet *another* example of successful syndication!!! :D] Patty Griffin has been tilting at windmills for nearly a decade, trying to topple music-industry barricades with her gorgeously unconventional voice and unique, layered songs. When her songs worked, the results were extraordinary. When they missed, which wasn't often, Griffin's struggles became a little too obvious. Griffin will perform Monday in Seattle. On her just-released latest album, "Impossible Dream" (ATO), however, Griffin pulls it all together - stacking one daring, powerful song on top of another to build her first full-fledged masterpiece. And, to her credit, she accomplishes this by taking chances, not by simply sticking with her already successful alt-country sound, the sound that led the Dixie Chicks to cover two of Griffin's songs on their hit album "Home." Fear not, fans. She doesn't ditch it entirely. She includes her own version of the moving "Top of the World," which the Chicks turned into a hit even after their country radio blacklisting. "Useless Desires" is an alt-country gem, as poetic and potent as Lucinda Williams on a rant, especially as Lisa Germano's violin matches Griffin's soaring vocals. But on "Impossible Dream," Griffin is clearly looking to stretch. "Florida" shows off this ambition, taking the alt-country song's melancholy realization that escaping from your hometown doesn't let you escape from yourself, with haunting backing vocals and stark production. The first single, "Love Throws a Line," crosses Bonnie Raitt blues with Southern gospel to encourage Griffin's pleas for people to remember that love has a place in a dangerous world. "Standing" sounds like old-time gospel filtered through Depeche Mode synthesized starkness. All this, though, is just a wind-up for the glorious "Don't Come Easy." The song unfolds like a U2 rocker, though Griffin cuts the testosterone with her plaintive vocals and lovely touches, such as Ian McLagan's spare piano and Michael Ramos' muted trumpet. The lyrics work on both personal and political levels, like much of Griffin's work. "If you break down, I'll drive out and find you," she promises, trying to offer some stability in these uncertain times, even as she has doubts herself. Griffin says she named "Impossible Dream" after the song from "The Man of La Mancha" (which her parents sing a snippet of on the album) because it reminded her of "a time when people thought about nobility, when they were trying to be above greed." Returning to that time may indeed be impossible. But given the strength of Griffin's dream, she may soon have an army of Sancho Panzas to back up her Don Quixote. Patty Griffin 8 p.m. Monday, Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave., Seattle. $25, 206-628-0888.
