Couldn't help noticing that you've got "Punishing Kiss"; that now makes two copies of it in circulation that I know of. Did you like it?

I've been looking into Ms. Warnes since 28 November, due to a "Similar Artists" entry at the All Music Guide. I didn't have a clue as to who she was (despite having grown up with parents who loved the "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack, and having heard "Love Lift Us Up" plenty of times thanks to the lousy radio around here), but I seem to have spent considerable time since then poking around for her albums, MP3s, and websites. Looks like things are on the downswing for her, but I figure that once I get some money from this upcoming Christmas thing, I might be able to pick up FBR or something similar. She certainly _sounds_ nice... Rather nifty, all in all.

But beware, she had a hit about 20 years ago, which was very 70's soft rock, with a song called It's The Right Time Of The Night (For Making Love) which is on her greatist hits album. It's not bad if you like that kind of thing, but it's very unlike Famous Blue Raincoat, an album of Lenord Cohen songs, she was his back up singer for many years.

"Resolver" - Veruca Salt 2. "Faith and Courage" - Sinead O'Connor 3. "Beautiful Creature" - Juliana Hatfield 4. "Notorious K.I.M." - Lil' Kim 5. "All Hands On the Bad One" - Sleater-Kinney 6. "Selmasongs" - Bjork 7. "Mama's Gun" - Eryka Badu 8. "Stories from the..." - PJ Harvey 9. "Music" - Madonna 10. "Haunted" - POE HONOURABLE MENTION (But too embarassed to put them on my top 10 list) "Sing When You're Winning" - Robbie Williams (I don't care...I LOVE IT!) BIGGEST DISAPOINTMENTS: - - "KID A" - Radiohead - - "Tonight and the Rest of My Life" - Nina Gordon - - Matthew Sweet's Greatest Hits - - Once again - Vitamin C has accomplished embarassing/disapointing me with her new, poppy, slutty anthem "The Itch". God dammit Colleen. That's it guys... PS - I am MURDEROUSLY pissed OFF that WEEZER have once again sold out State Theater. I have been a fucking fan for 6 god damn years - my boyfriend told me last night that he had a surprise for me, I insisted that he told me - and he was like "Okay..i didn't buy tickets yet..but WEEZER is coming!!!" and I was like YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Today i discover they are sold out. So in actuality, I should be pissed off at my boyfriend for hyping me up, before he even checked when the damn tickets go on sale!!!!!!! :) :) OH well..doesn't matter :) I'm not *really* pissed at him :) :) However, for future reference, can someone direct me towards a REALLY GOOD site that provides some kind of calendar of shows? Preferably someone in the Windsor Ontario (Canada) or Detroit Michigan area....because I am soooo sick of discovering my favorite bands are selling out before I knew their were tickets on... :) :) anyway, see ya guys...

Well, i am in a computer lab and totally procrastinating finishing my paper so im gonna do this here top ten thingie. i'm sure i'll forget stuff since my cds arent here, but whatever, if i forget it then it obviously didn't really impact me that much;) um ok, i thought it out, and there is NO WAY i can narrow it down to ten because there was just WAY too much good music released this year. and when i made up a list of ten, and some weren't on there, it made me sad...like when you're little and some of your stuffed animals don't get some of the blanket covering them. :( it just wont do. so here's my top 20 or whatever: 1. Sleater-Kinney -- All Hands on the Bad One 2. Poe -- Haunted 3. PJ Harvey -- Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea 4. Sinead O'Connor -- Faith and Courage 5. Dar Williams -- The Green World that's definitely the 5 ebst albums...the rest of these are kinda in order i guess...but i didnt put too much thought into it. Neko Case and Her Boyfriends -- Furnace Room Lullaby Sarah Dougher -- The Walls Ablaze Juliana Hatfield -- Beautiful Creature Bratmobile -- Ladies, Women, and Girls Mary Timony -- Mountains Bangs -- Sweet Revenge Veruca Salt -- Resolver The Need -- The Need is Dead Elastica -- The Menace Madonna - Music Elliot Smith -- Figure 8 Cat Power - The Covers Record Amanda Ghost -- Ghost Stories Bonfire Madigan -- Saddle the Bridge Babes in Toyland -- Natural Babe Killers here's the best EPs: 1. Kristin Hersh -- A Cleaner Light 2. Bjork -- Selmasongs (still can't listen to this after seein the freakin movie though..."i'm haunted..." 3. Cadallaca -- Out West other albums i liked: tracy bonham, aimee mann, leona naess (track 4 = one of the best songs of the year, but i didnt really like the rest of the album), sarah harmer, eric heatherly (damn my sister for making me watch GreatAmericanCountry when i go home!!!!!) still haven't heard the new amy rigby, bettie serveert, or erykah badu...really really really lookin forward to getting those for xmas :) :) ok, shit my paper's gonna be so late now. i have said all i can possibly say on cosmetic surgery. ug. once i saw a show on the discovery channel where this woman got breast implants, and afterwards the doctor said in a nice soft reassuring voice "now, for 2 weeks it's going to feel like you have a nice friendly elephant sitting on your chest." ! um i really need to get to work...thanks for the top ten suggetion jase, now my paper's late. hehehehehehehe:) :) :) :) steve ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 16:29:26 -0700 From: "{USER_FIRSTNAME} {USER_LASTNAME}" Subject: Re: support-system-digest V3 #327 Ooh!
