My dad thinks I'm on drugs now for getting so excited about it. They played Good Love Never Dies which is one that I listen to a lot lately. Anyway, I gotta run to a meeting.

If so, where? I'm still wondering if WCI is being played on any of the NYC-area stations... - - --Catherine Catherine, I don't know about Rick Dees, know that he is in L.A. in the morning and I can't stand his show but I do know that WCI is being played in NY. According to All Access, it is being played on WTSS FM in Buffalo (No. 3 in total spins with 47) Chicago and St. Louis are tops and L.A.'s Star 98.7 is played it 44 times and is No. 5 in total spins). Also, WPLJ in New York is no. 16 with 30 total spins (up from 27 last week). Also, WCI is no. 10 on the Top 40 CHR/Pop Taking Off Chart with 5 new stations adding it and 74 new spins. Buffalo's WKSE is No.7 in spins with 28 this week compared to 26 last week. It has debuted on the CHR/Pop top 50 chart at no. 47. Al __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

But other than that, I had a great great time. This was my first time ever seeing Liz, after waiting for YEARS, and it was everything I was hoping for and more. I donbt even know any other Liz fans, so what an amazing thrill to be in a whole room full of people who knew all the words to every song she played! Liz is absolutely radiant b she GLOWS. Itbs hard to imagine that she ever had stage fright. I donbt love the Matrix songs, but itbs true that they sound great live, especially Why Canbt I. Anyway, it was just such a thrill to be there. And thanks to John from this list for hanging out and chatting with me and ESPECIALLY for pointing out that Liz was actually standing a few feet away from us watching Patrick Park!

It seems like Jeremy Engle would be great live. While Jeremy Engle is not a big favorite with me, I agree that it would translate really well into a live performance. She should switch "uncle alvarez" with jeremy... that's also not one of my favorites, and in my head I put the two songs into the same category of "pseudo-biographical", but Jeremy has, in my opinion, the big advantage of having a really good beat and room for rocking out, which uncle alvarez does not. As for other EP tracks, I'll put in my vote for "Shallow Opportunities". It would be a good down-tempo number, it would highlight her new vocal ability in her high register, and it's got that really cool, simple, grinding guitar. > Also, why does Whip-Smart always get the shaft? The title song, Support > System, Jealousy and May Queen are some of her biggest crowd pleasers. Jealousy is in my top five, but I think that May Queen (which I like quite a bit) would be an even better live piece... it could be the very last song of the encore.

I could even sign on for "Shatter". I would like to nominate "Sometimes A Dream"... I know she *used* to include this song in her live act many moons ago, but it would really benefit from having another voice onstage singing the counterpart. Dude, *that's* where she should invite a chick onstage to sing with her, not Flower.

(i'll probably be wearing a yellow, black, and white flowery '70s dress, so come over and say hi if you see me). and how long have the shows been of late? if i can't meet her before, i'm gonna try for after, and the damn trains stop running at 1:30, so i don't want to cut it too close. my guess tho is that it won't end too late b/c the younguns there to see mraz need to make curfew. allison ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2003 23:15:48 -0500 From: fallout@purdue.edu Subject: [support-system] [digest this] So, Athena or a plumber.
