I was up there this weekend and spoke with the treasurer of the aforementioned VICE (who bring in entertainment). She said what I had expected which is that they are trying to get Liz to play at Vassar, which is an annual event (trying to get her to play, not the actual concert). So there is no word that she will be playing there yet but I will keep my fingers crossed. So, it doesn't seem true that Liz is building her spring tour schedule around a concert at Vassar.

Ugh, thinking about it makes my bones shiver. I'm so tempted to type out the lyrics in this post for you all, even though I'm sure you all know them, so it's a good thing I'm typing this when I don't have that much time. Haha. Anyhow, the lyrics grabbed me. They made me feel the music that was playing. The music goes along with what she sings, with what she feels, with what *I* feel. It's so weird to write about because it's hard to express. And being sleep-deprived makes it even harder to find the words to describe my love for this particular song that was the first Liz song I ever heard. I will never forget the day I borrowed my friend's EIG. She told me, "Listen to track 13 first--it's one of my favorites!" I did listen to it first, and I thought it was so different than other music that I had ever heard. It was so serene, so meaningful. I listened to "Shatter" over and over. In fact, since I didn't have a full blank tape, I just taped that one song on the end of another mix (since I had to return the CD) and that was all I had of EIG until I was able to buy it a month later. It has remained one of my favorites--It has always moved me to close my eyes and sing along, getting those same chills that I felt the first time I listened to it. Sorry for going into EXTREME depth (or at least detail) with that, but the question was calling to me--I needed to respond in a major way. I'm a dork.

Me answer a poll??!! So many cool albums mentioned by you all before. Now I'm going to date myself... Fourth World: Fourth World found a cassette under my car seat after a springtime holiday weekend a long, long time ago. one side was Weather Report, the other was Airto Moreira. The tape was a homemade compilation. it took more than ten years to for me to find and collect all the albums that made up the tape. and it was worth it. anyway, back around 1995 or so Airto (did I mention that he's a jazz-fusion percussionist/vocalist, Brazilian by birth) formed the group Fourth World. The albums recorded by this group are the best things ever recorded. To the person who lost that tape and introduced me to this music all those years ago - Thank you! David Bowie: Hunky Dory 'nuff said (Brian) Eno: Here Come The Warm Jets 'nuff said (but i wonder, did Brad Wood have this album in mind when he mixed Strange Loop?) Roxy Music: The First Roxy Music Album everything that Shelly said yesterday, except for the stuff about Duran-Duran ;-) Gil Scott-Heron (and Brian Jackson): From South Africa To South Carolina one song from this, heard on AM radio back around 1975, lead to a life-long appreciation for this man. check out the album The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, and then check out the rest of his catalogue Joni Mitchell: The Hissing Of Summer Lawns Bob Dylan: Empire Burlesque Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense. Liz Phair: Exile-In-Guyville feeling blue. visiting with an old friend. far, far from home. having a bonfire up in the wood behind her house. drinking rum and beer all night under a full moon. music playing on the boombox. then she puts on EXILE, and starts dancing on the huge logs amid the blaze, singing - wailing - these songs. everything changes. Rolling Stones: Exile On Mainstreet ____ Sorry about rambling on like that.

Liz -- Exile in Guyville 6. Presidents of the United States of America 7. Beach Boys -- Pet Sounds 8. Beatles -- White Album 9. Denis Leary -- No Cure For Cancer 10.

God, how BORING. But do read on; that's the last complaint. I'm in Boston, where I came up against quite a dilemma recently. February 12 -- what to do? Option 1: Beck and Beth Orton at the Orpheum Option 2: Aimee Mann and Michael Penn at the Somerville Theater (half a mile from my house) Option 3: Old 97s at the Paradise. I am happy to report that I have solved half my problem; I'll be seeing Aimee Mann (and I own NONE of her albums! mygod! sacrelige!) and hubby Michael at Lupo's in Providence (where I saw sweet Liz last spring) the next night. And I bought a ticket to the Old 97s, in the hope that Beck might finish early enuf for me to make it over to that club. it's a stretch, but we will try to be super-human. super-woman, I mean. All kidding aside, I know no Aimee beyond Til Tuesday and the random singles alterna-radio has picked up, but I have ordered Whatever and I'm With Stupid off amazon (was I supposed to do it off aimee's site? oh no! probably!), and they are on the way. In the meantime, if anyone has any MP3 sites that they know are available for Aimee's songs, or setlists from recent concerts, I'd love to hear about them. Again, I HAVE BOUGHT THE ALBUMS, so I am not cheating anyone out of sales or whatever. (ha ha, no pun intended.) Probably Aimee, though, since she's cheated out of everything in the music biz. Sorry, that's a tangent I just can't get off of. Whoops. I'm actually psyched to see her. Many people whose taste I respect (not the least of which populate this list) tell me she's worth a listen, so I'll listen. I will. Oftentimes it gets a show coming to town to get me to go all-out with a band or singer. It sort of happened with Liz, actually ... last spring I saw her three times in three nights, and I didn't know her nearly as well when I bought the tickets as I did when I saw her take the stage. But that's a whole other post. And oh yeah, Katiebrown, yes, this is me, Sandra from Boston. I have no idea where Justin is. I never had his number, and he seems to be ignoring his email of late. Wow, I've got a Divorce Song story, but I've also got tired fingers. Sandra NP: Old 97s, Too Far to Care. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
