To hear someone say that they have lost their passion for what they do (which is what she implied/inferred) is a very life-changing pronouncement. Far beyond the economics of being in that business, to say you no longer have a want to do what you have done and committed to for 30+ years is severe. Perhaps walking away from all of it for awhile could recharge her batteries. And that could take awhile. It sounds like a very personal decision, too. Also, Lisa's folks don't live in Bloomington.

I hope Lisa is right in her prediction that record companies will cease to exist as they do today. If, several months or years from now, she decides to start writing and recording again, I hope she'll truly do the whole thing herself (without any label). She would be able to make some money from her recordings instead of paying off the record company, even if she only sold 10,000 copies worldwide. Look at Ani Difranco. She's doing so well that she has an entire staff of people to assist her. I think Lisa was being very honest when she said she didn't really have anything else to say musically right now. Lisa is too good to put an album out just to put something out. She doesn't have a lot of new songs right now. She needs to recharge. I suspect she'll still do things from time to time (with other artists). Who's going to play fiddle on the next Indigo Girls album anyway? Hopefully Lisa! In the meantime, maybe Lisa will become a vet, a nurse, a belly dancer, a UPS driver or some combination of those things...and more. Whatever she does, I hope she finds peace and happiness. I'll think of her when I play "a guy like you" on the rock at the river. Geez! Wait-a-minute! It's not like she's dead!

Sometimes they pick up new talents and get them exposed in ways they (the new band, that is) would never have the resources to do. That said, record companies will probably be _optional_ in the future. I think Kristin Hersh' Work In Progress scheme at Throwing Music is a brilliant idea (subscribe today!), and would love to see Lisa's outtakes published in the same manner. The costs are low: Computer USD 1000 (I'll chip in if necessary ;-) Net connection USD 500 (per year, @Home cable-TV) Domain name USD 35 (per year) Web design USD 0 (there's got to be a fan wanting to help out) One year's subscription to Work in Progress costs USD 15 (but a couple of dollars probably go to the people taking care of the credit cards), so the break-even point is just 80 or so subscribers. How many subscribe to the sycophant list? You can even do this on a shoestring budget and use a free web space provider. It won't look as professional, and it will be more of a hassle to admin, since the MP3-files would need to spread out (there's usually a 10 MB limit on these free servers, but I found an exception now: ). Anyway, the exact economics aren't _that_ interesting, it's the concept which matters, and it is clearly feasible.

Like I said, I think the Kristen Hersh subscription is a _brilliant_ idea, and makes many interesting demos and other available to fans. Like Work in Progress 4: Circumstances Throwing Muses, Recorded at Kingsway USA, New Orleans, LA, November-December 1995 "Limbo" Outtake Produced by Throwing Muses and Trina Shoemaker, Recorded by Trina Shoemaker, Assistant Engineer - Ethan Allen "Circumstances" is a Captain Beefheart song that Ivo (4AD's Head Honcho) always wanted Throwing Muses to cover. It was insanely difficult to learn, even for people who had been in Throwing Muses for a number of years. Learning it hurt our fingers and our brains and made us want to hurt "Captain Bee-Fart". I sang the vocals into a bullet mic so that nobody could hear them and put a blanket over my head so that nobody could see me...it ended up being not much fun...sort of a "work in progress" that never progressed. So we put it away and forgot about it until, a few years later, Billy found this screaming off what he thought was a blank DAT. Now I think it sounds really cool...a great, big math problem of a song. Love, Kristin January 1999 And it really is a gem! (as is most of the other tracks -- whoo! This months installment has arrived, two new tunes to download and listen to :-) I would love to hear the gems Lisa has hidden away as well, but I do of course respect her choices and wishes. *sigh* Kjetil T. - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.
