[PoE03@aol.com] Re: New Navy Souper..... [Paul Schreiber Subject: she's the light of Eve Hi Soupers, I went into lurk mode awhile back because I felt really left out of the group being that I live in the Milwaukee area and have never even seen Sarah live. Plus when 'Blue Parade' came out and everyone was posting about it and talking about it I hadn't even gotten my copy yet. I didn't get my copy on the mail until about three weeks later. Anyway, here was my initial impression of 'Blue Parade': aa, it's nice, typical SSlean, all the songs sort of sound the same, nothing on this recording to rival "I Know" or "John 23rd". OK, before the hate mail starts a-coming my way, let me repeat that this was my INITIAL impression. I didn't toss it into the reject pile. I brought it with me in the car and jsut kept listening to it and listening to it and listening... until it was all-consuming and I couldn't imagine even having the desire to listen to anything else. I thought all the songs sounded the same? How could I have thought that!! Yes, they sort of fit into a certain genre, but they do not all sound the same. I sort of hate to list favorites, but I can't help it -- I'll do it anyway: "Narcolepsy Weed", "Bonnie's Song", "Twin Moon" and "Blue Parade". Those are probably my main ones. Of course I also love "High" and "Playing Cards With Judas". Well, I guess that's almost the whole album!! There is not one song that I dislike. Oh, I forgot to mention "Awake Soon". How could I have forgotten that one? My avocation is writing and yet, as that saying goes which way too many people have taken credit for over the years, talking about music is like dancing about architecture. And so my words fail me here. I find here a young woman - still in the process of developing her talent - who is not afraid to be fragile and, paradoxically, becomes strong for having that quality. Her music is beautiful, ethereal, etc... All these adjectives have been used to death to describe her music, I'm sure. I love "Blue Parade". And it's taking a little trip around the world: I bought a copy for my 18-year-old niece in Russia, who loves everything I send her (I turned her on to Tori), and I know she will love this CD, too. Well, I will probably go back into lurk mode. Thanks for reading, to those of you who did.

See I run a site called Women in Music. I have a space for concert reviews, artist spotlights, and CD reviews. I would love to add yours to the site. I felt exactly like you did when hearing it. I went through the same phases. I am currently in the "I have to listen to it twice a day" phase. If anyone else would like to add to my site please email me. I can put up a whole page of reviews if others would like to contribute! It doesn't have to be just about SS either, I have other women there currently and am adding new ones all the time. Also, If any of you have Sarah Slean web pages that I have not yet added to her link section, please shoot those my way as well (if you want to be linked that is) PS: Sophie, I live in Minneapolis. What can we do to get Sarah out to our neck o' the woods??

Hi navy soupers. I just wanted to introduce myself to the list. My name's Melissa Kralik , I'm 18 and I'm from Pittsburgh ,PA. I was introduced to Sarah about 1 year ago, but I am embarrassed to admit that i don't own her cds. It's so hard to order stuff online, especially since I'm just starting to fill out my applications for credit cards. I've heard all of the sound clips from online and they sound awesome. Christmas is comming though... :) Some of you might know me from the believer list, headline girl or fumblers. The closest sarah is comming to me is Penn State and that's about 3 hours away...so hopefully sometime soon she'll come closer. welp i'm sure i've bored you enough but i just wanted to say hi. § Melissa § ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Nov 1999 23:22:10 -0500 From: Paul Schreiber Subject: Re: New Navy Souper..... melissa wrote: >Hi navy soupers.
