Kim" Subject: A dream starring Liz Phair So, i woke up this morning and wrote this down on little yellow post-it notes. I was walking with some friends through the campus of some university at night. We came upon an outdoor reggae show, so we stopped along a ridge overlooking the the stage and audience. There's a gazebo a little farther along the ridge. It's a fairly large audience and we've got sort of a vista view. It's a clear fall night, and it's a little wet outside. Well, after hearing a couple of reggae songs, I hear the opening to "Firewalker" and there's the reggae guy saying "we're going to play a few Liz Phair songs...with Liz Phair!" and she comes out and starts singing and playing. After a few more songs (i don't remember the setlist, sorry. it was a great show!) she looks up at the ridge and with eagle-vision, she recognizes me. She says "Hey, Dennis, let's go down to the manager's house and hang out." So my friends and I meet her there and eat, drink, and poke some smot, i guess. The interesting part: on my way out of the house, i remember to ask her "Hey, Liz. Did you ever write a message to the support system mailing lists about recording new songs?" She says "That was from some guy at Lucas-something or other, right? No, I didn't write that." I was disappointed. I woke up and wanted to tell you guys that the letter was a fake.

WREK from Georgia Tech is good, too, but a little too out there and experimental for me sometimes. my favorite these days is WRFG, "radio free georgia," funded by member donations and broadcasting out of lovely inman park, which, from what i've heard so far, tends toward the classic country/blues/jazz/western swing, and is a wonderful break from the rest of the crap. otherwise, we have 99X, cited by rolling stone as one of the leading commercial "modern rock" stations in the country. the djs know their music but are stuck with a playlist. the "organic x" show on sunday mornings is great, and they have a lot of cool live acousitic p! ! eformances, including one of the only recorded versions of jewel's "race car driver". what pisses me off, though, is that they sponsor concerts for great artists that they won't play (like liz). otherwise, i get my rock-n-roll from 96.1, where the djs are *men* and don't let you forget it, and my classic rock from 92.9, which has a great lunchtime show, the "out to lunch hour", where listeners request songs with a particuar theme (recent ones have been songs about the bathroom, songs that start with 's', songs mentioning fire, etc.), and seems to be giving more music than chatter these days. but, surprisingly, it seems like we're better off than LA! gotta run, thanks for reading! valerie ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 11:23:00 -0500 From: "Stacey" Subject: Re: napster ray says: >my friends found this REALLY cool site that has 150,000+ mp3s on it. >www.napster.com i don't know if anyone's mentioned it before--maybe i've >just been out of the loop. there's only a couple liz songs on there, but >i've found *full* copies of the new RATM and foo fighters records (not >that i'm promoting--or condemning--pirating stuff). anyways, thought i'd >bring it up. > actually, napster is more like a community where everyone registered shares their mp3 libraries with everyone else. When you connect to napster, you are connecting to a certain channel with about a thousand other people in the same channel as you are. If you search for a certain artist, the napster search will only search within your channel. So what's my point? napster has *a lot* of liz stuff, but you just have to keep checking back at different times and on different channels. I've found most of the girlysounds, as well as firewalker, don't apologize, conversation, etc, as well as some live pj stuff.... it's worth it sometimes to disconnect yourself and then reconnect into a different channel. and if that doesn't work, just keep checking back over time..... but be careful, it's *very* addictive :) - --Stacey ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 08:49:26 -0800 (PST) From: Craig King Subject: Juliana Hatfield For any Juliana Hatfield fans: Juliana Hatfield will be playing a show at the Lounge Ax in Chicago on Monday, December 6.

One prime example of this is the local club venues--on any given night I could go & partake in some reasonably good local *and not so local* groups, yet search & search the FM dial for something decent to listen to. I usually end up just popping in a tape or CD with a sigh of resignation. About the musica a espanol--not so much. I actually live just outside of Woodburn, which has it's own Spanish radio station. I like to be able to sing along, and well, my espanol is muy mal. (Although hearing "California Girls" and "Ob-La-Di" in Spanish is sort of humorous when visiting my favorite Hispanic restaurant!)

I never knock anyone's opinion, but just to get involved in this - I think so far, I am the only one that I know of who prefers "Venus" to "Choirgirl". I think the classic tori-esque songs (Josephine, Concertina, 1,000 Oceans, Lust, Bliss,) are some of the best songs she's written in a loooooong time, beautiful, thoughtful, very delicate sounding (LUST rules my world)..and the non-traditional style tori songs (Juarez, Datura, Glory Of the 80's) are by far the most interesting...Juarez reminds me of something Massive Attack would do...DATURA reminds me of the time I took too much E, I just think VENUS is everything Choirgirl wasn't. Maybe I'm just biased..Choirgirl was my least favorite - my favorite being a toss up between Under the Pink and Boys For Pele - which I think is one of the most interesting albums of the 90's. But - I don't know...everyone loves the new album - but I find it really interesting that most prefer Choirgirl. I found Choirgirl to be lacking something...mind you, I still love it, but for me, I almost think of it as the make-shift album. I think I would have liked it better if she just released the songs that I personally liked (maybe about 7 of them) onto an EP or something..but she would have had to consult me personally for that, and I just don't have the time to talk to Tori in my ever-so busy life. OH well...just commenting. Also - for the live half of VENUS - Hmmm..i love it, but - that version of THe Waitress can die for all I care. Editorial: Mind you, I love Tori to death - but by the end of the song - She just sounds like a chick using an out of control vibrator in a really, REALLy cheap porno, that doesn't even deliver a very good orgasm scene. - Also - I think there could have been a few better selections for the live half, but I loved COOLING and PRecious Things. putting the damage on, Dan.

Here is the first one, about her work on the "Magnolia" soundtrack; tomorrow I will post the second, which focuses on her upcoming self-released album, _Bachelor No. 2_. I would have posted each article in parts if they'd been from the web and I could offer up a URL as well, going back to the earlier discussion about posting long articles. Really, though, I'm not sure I would consider this article to be that long compared to others that have been posted, and the second article is shorter. I had also thought of just posting that I had the articles transcribed and I would forward them to whoever wanted to read them, but given the number of Aimee fans here, I didn't really want to get hit with dozens of e-mails requesting the articles that I would then have to sort through admidst my other messages. Anyway, I hope that many of you will enjoy these articles. Cheers, Jase ********* MANN BLOSSOMS ON REPRISE SOUNDTRACK By Jim Bessman NEW YORK -- The soundtrack to "Boogie Nights" director Paul Thomas Anderson's forthcoming film "Magnolia" not only marks the long-awaited return of Aimee Mann to the major-label recording scene. It actually influenced the movie's making. As longtime Mann fan Anderson relates in the Reprise album's liner notes, when he began writing the screenplay to "Magnolia," he was listening intensely to Mann's music, which he intended to adapt for the screen much like adapting a book. He even took the opening line of her song "Deathly" and "wrote backwards" in telling the story of central character Claudia -- around whom the film's complicated plot line revolves. Anderson's hotly anticipated follow-up to "Boogie Nights" stars Jason Robards, Julianne Moore, Tom Cruise, and John C. Reilly and opens Dec. 20 in New York and Los Angeles, with national release Jan. 7. The soundtrack for the New Line film comes out on Reprise Dec. 7 and features eight songs written and performed by Mann, as well as her cover of the Three Dog Night hit "One" from the 1995 "For The Love Of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson" Harry Nilsson tribute album. Supertramp's hits "Goodbye Stranger" and "Logical Song" are included, as are Gabrielle's "Dreams" and Jon Brion's title track. "In this age where every film, TV show, and video game has a compilation song soundtrack, this is really a pure soundtrack, where all the music is in the film and is closely associated with the story," says Danny Bramson, Reprise Records' senior VP of soundtrack development and the "Magnolia" soundtrack's executive producer. "It's wonderful the way Paul incorporated Aimee's songs into his film. He's one of the rare filmmakers who truly loves music and instinctively knows how to integrate it -- rather than force it in to use it as a marketing tool." Seconding Bramson, Warner Bros. marketing VP Peter Rauh says, "We're fortunate here to have an artist-driven soundtrack project, which is uncommon in these days of strongly compiled soundtrack records. This gives the record a duality atypical of soundtrack marketing. It's almost a stand-alone as the newest Aimee Mann album, as well as the soundtrack to an incredibly powerful film." The album cover, Rauh notes, identifies the contents as "songs by Aimee Mann." The story behind the soundtrack, he adds, is a large part of its marketing. "It's brand-new material by a very well-regarded and established artist that helped spur the director's thinking as he created his latest work," Rauh says. "We'll make sure we get the story out to press and radio, because it's a really interesting way for people to rethink Aimee's career." Mann's trouble-plagued career is finally on an upswing with the overlapping arrival of a self-released solo album and the soundtrack to "Magnolia." "Early word is that it's the hot film for Christmas," notes Rauh, adding, "People feel Anderson's the hot director of the time." Anderson became friends with Mann after her husband, Michael Penn, scored "Boogie Nights" and Anderson's first film, the 1997 gambling pic "Hard Eight." "He heard the record I was working on and was really excited about some of the songs and started working on a screenplay. Then I would read some of the screenplay and play some music and fit it in thematically," says Mann. "There were a couple songs that were written that way, back and forth." The songs "Save Me" and "You Do" were written expressly for the movie, Mann adds. According to Rauh, a rather unusual Anderson-directed videoclip for "Save Me" is being sent to radio and retail and other music industry VIPs. "He created it simultaneously while filming the movie," says Rauh. "He would shoot scenes with the actors in character and then stop and replace them with Aimee and reshoot it as a piece of the video. So there will be a scene in the movie with Julianne Moore and the same scene in the video with Aimee singing, rather than just intercutting film footage into the video." Warner Bros. is marketing "Magnolia" essentially as "an Aimee Mann record without a film," adds Rauh, through initial efforts will focus on the film's limited release in New York and Los Angeles. He says that New Line is "ecstatic about working the film" and will be "incredibly aggressive" in a national print ad campaign, which follows the notable trailer for the movie that ran in September during MTV's video awards show. "It was very jarring to see a movie coming out in December being promoted at that event, and it generated incredible word-of-mouth," says Rauh. Should the movie succeed, it could help Mann's solo disc as well as the soundtrack, notes Bob Douglas, divisional merchandising manager for music at amazon.com. "How much exposure she gets depends on how big the movie is," he says. "I hope it's hugely successful, because she deserves the exposure and it would auger well for the solo release. Her [soundtrack] songs are vintage Aimee: instrumentally superb and with her keynote plaintive vocal. But her potential has never been tapped during the current wave of lesser women singer/songwriters, who have gone to gold and platinum sales while Aimee's put out great material that's been overlooked." Here Douglas points to the "whole drama" of Mann's record company tribulations, which Nicole Sandler, music director of Los Angeles triple-A stations KACD and KBCD, echoes. "She's incredibly talented with a uniquely beautiful voice and has put out some magnificent albums," says Sandler. "But she's had a run of bad luck being with the wrong labels at the wrong times." For the soundtrack to the upcoming indie black comedy "Road Kill," Sandler used a Mann song, "You Can Make A Killing," from her 1995 solo album, "I'm With Stupid." "Her music is so distinctive and lends itself to film," Sandler says. "I'd love to see 'Magnolia' help propel her to a whole new level." Mann isn't sure what her role will be in promoting the "Magnolia" soundtrack, other than doing interviews. But she has been performing "Deathly" and "You Do" at her ongoing concert appearances. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 01:03:32 -0500 From: Jason Long Subject: Bounced message From: Nenette Luarca Subject: Matador a sell-out? >From the Pavement mailing list, here's an article that briefly mentions Liz and what she did for Matador-- enjoy.... - -nen http://www.thestranger.com/current/feature.html YOUR FAVORITE LABEL SUCKS by Erin Franzman Sub Pop, Matador, and Merge Suck Up To The Man Liz Phair once said that you can only "change music" once in your career. And though I am loath to give any credit to her as an artist, she's right, though not in the way she thinks. Exuberant or inventive musicians or producers can change the way music sounds several times over: Michael Jackson's done it, Bob Dylan, Quincy Jones, even Madonna. But changing the entire culture of music is a one night stand -- that's what Phair did, thanks to Matador. And certainly, no one would argue that Nirvana and Sub Pop were not culturally influential.
