OT: Michael Penn and Aimee Mann
Vicki Dzurinko
i thought i would pass this tidbit along. In this week's entertainment
weekly, Penn and Mann are today's "It Rebels" (pg 81). Nice little blurb
and picture. I didn't know this, but they plan to tour together in the near
future. Happy reading!!!!!

this is so funny.
every newsgroup i've visited tonight has had a post about this issue.
apparently i'm going to have to go out and find it tommorrow because so far
there are five different people i love featured in it...and those are just the
ones i know about. :-)

I just did a search and came up with nothing. After downloading
an acoustic "Stupid Thing", I realized I was an absolutely huge
drooling fan, and the first thing I wanted to do was find the
newsgroup and announce the good news.

So all you Aimee Mann fans, did you hear her hour long interview on
Fresh Air the other day? It's a public radio show. If not, they have
the real audio you can listen to. It's on
http://whyy.org/freshair/fara.html Choose the 6/13/2000 show. :)
It wasn't one of the better interviews I've heard on that show, but it
was interesting nonetheless.

take the show on the road, The show was, June 13th and 14th at the Town
Hall(yes the same one the KITH were at) The show was incredible, and lucky for
some, I was able to record about 70 mins of the concert, more Michael Penn
stuff came out than Aimee Mann

The Acoustic Vaudeville shows at Town Hall were breathtakingly

LOVE that song. Love it Love it Loooooooove it.
I could only afford to buy the single and not the album with my meager
baby-sitting earnings, and so have never actually heard the album
"March" (at least I think its March - it's all going a bit fuzzy for me)
"No Myth" I've listened to so many times it's probably altered the
structure of my DNA.

Try "Evenfall", I'm listening to it now and it's a great song.

Bachelor No. 2 - "Susan" or "Ghost World". No, "Susan". No, wait...
And that was very difficult to pick, seeing as I adore each and every song.

You should hear Aimee singing it... it's fabulous. Lately they've been playing
it as an encore, with Aimee singing the first verse and then joining in the
choruses, and finishing the song up with her Ethel Merman impression ("Some-one
to DONCE with!")

Once you hear it, it's one of those things that just randomly pops up
in your mind. I find myself singing it at odd moments.

Me too. :) I love the way you described it -- it's exactly that kind
of song. You can't *do* anything else when you listen to those songs.
There's a quote from Tom Verlaine that describes that feeling... I
can't remember it word-for-word, but it's a "crashing on the waves of
the song, as you listen to it" sort of thing. I love that feeling so
much.
> Try "Evenfall", I'm listening to it now and it's a great song.
They're all great songs. I found myself fooling around with my dad's
speakers at 3 am last night because I _had_ to listen to "March" at
that very moment. <g>

I do this all the time. It's fun. "Let's see, the new so-and-so album's out in
June... I figure I'll be ready for it in, oh, say, December". Then it's sweet sweet

Well since we're already off topic and you want to extend this thread anyway, I

_Whatever_- Ok, that's just impossible. I love every song on that as though it

Thanks for the info Tavie!
Do you recommend acquiring albums in a particular order? I've got
Magnolia (which is pretty obvious I suppose - if a person is going to
admit to owning just one Aimee album, then that's likely to be it huh?)
I know Magnolia spans quite a few years worth of material, but if there
is an order to approaching "the catalogue" that is optimal, I'd like to
try and do that ;)

Whoa...I'm in stun mode.I'm definitely going to have to check this out.
My sister used to do Ethel Merman impressions when she was like 5. It
was so cute hearing her do "no business like show business" in her
little mini-pops 5 yr. old voice.
The concept of Aimee Mann and Michael Penn singing _anything_ together
is intriguing enough; the concept of them singing "No Myth" is hella-
intriguing.

>Do you recommend acquiring albums in a particular order?
If you want to do them in order of release, which is a good way to do it,
start with "Everything's Different Now" (last 'Til Tuesday album), then do
"Whatever", "I'm With Stupid" and "Bachelor No. 2".
I didn't do it that way-- I actually did "I'm With Stupid" first, then
"Whatever", then "Everything's Different Now" and then B#2.
I have no perspective now, you see, since they're all so damn good.

If I were a beverage, I'd be Dr Pepper. Looks like any number of other
carbonated beverages, tastes sickly sweet at first but has that evil
bitter aftertaste.
I just wrote that because I couldn't think of any food that wears
unnecessary frou-frou and makes snarky comments to generally undeserving

Cool. I'll have to take a stroll through the deja archives some time;
keyword search "pomegranate". I remember trying a pomegranate in grade
6. Someone had one for lunch. I couldn't understand what all the fuss
over a bunch of seeds was. I like the name though. Maybe I was eating it
wrong 'cause I know I like pomegranate juice.

Hey now, I'll have you know that when I originally started thinking of
you as a food, my first thought was "cookie". But not just any cookie, a
gourmet swellegant high class cookie <g>. Then I was thinking how do I
properly convey that I think of Tavie as a quality cookie, and not a
"grab it outa the bag" cookie? Naturally White Chocolate and Macadamia
nuts came to mind. But by no means must you be defined by White
Chocolate if you hate it! Let me just substitute some good 'ol Belgian
chocolate into that cookie...unless you::shudder::, hate chocolate in
general (but that just wouldn't be right). White Chocolate definitely
can't define you ( now that I know you hate it) for I am hoping to
define the essential you, and there can't possibly be anything to hate
about that ;)
...Although I certainly have moments when I feel like "tongue" (that's
the most detestable food I can think of right now). Its funny how so
many people hate white chocolate; I think it's the mystical ethereal
yummy cousin of regular chocolate. But it has to be real white
chocolate.

They can be annoying and messy, but they're also delicious. (Wait, that first

You've got yourself some Tavie... right here in alt.kith... with a capital "T"

Sounds like it, doesn't it? It's on some Christmas compilation album, the name

good song. Weird, catchy melody. Nice, weird Christmas song.

Well, I can't really think of a "wrong" way to eat a pomegranate. :)
You put the seeds in your mouth, you crunch away.
My mum used to break 'em open and peel out the seeds for my brother and
I when we were younger. Which is not a good idea when you're dealing
with little kids -- the juice would always end up all over our clothes.
<g> But that was part of the fun of it, I guess. :)
Don't know why I'm sharing that. But, I love me those pomegranates. :)

I'm a chocolate fiend, so I love it all, including white chocolate
(which is really cocoa butter, but, damn. DAMN.) From those cheap 99
cent Easter bunny things to a box of Laura Secord's to homemade fudge.
I just love it all.
But, white chocolate always makes me think of evil Daniel Pancer, the
guy who would bribe our grade nine science teacher into giving him
preferential treatment (and A's) by bringing her a box of white
chocolate almond bark every now and then.

For some reason, I found myself watching "In Living Colour" today*, and
I thought of Goose when Damon Wayans' homeless-guy-on-the-subway
character did a sketch with a jar of his own urine.
Okay, so that's a slightly more obvious allusion. <g>
(*I spent the entire day watching television today. I'm so mind-
numbingly bored right now. KITH, Night Court, In Living Colour/TRL,
Alf, Muppets, Doogie Howser, Friends, Seinfeld. And I *still* feel
like watching MORE TV. This is crazy... I'm involved in craziness....)

No, but I sure wish I'd had it when my grandparents came over for lunch
with all that tongue. Ewwww. I have this crystal clear memory of being 7
years old and eye level with all the conducts on the table. ugh.

I hope not permanently. I remember reading something to the effect of
"certain archives may be unavailable for up to 6 months while we move
our server". It has just occurred to me that I've been visualizing
people in white jump suits moving a giant 1960's computer out of one
office building and into another. <g>

See, I just got this teacher vibe off you. You were also "the reason I got

ROTFL!!! My favourite part! See, I'm all about appearances, all about the

The soul of the grape. Highly overrated. All jelly-like.

Muchmusic thing? ::sob::
I really should make a list of all the things I don't have so I can beg
someone to tape them all for me one day...
GO! TRANSCRIBE! <g>

Ha ha! Well maybe at the beginning ...but weren't we all? By grade 6 I
figured out that the world was a monstrously unfair place so I became a
bitter bitter little girl who derived passive aggressive satisfaction
from torturing her teachers. If they weren't throwing chalk at me, they
were kicking me out of class, and if they weren't doing that they were
most likely engaging me in some stupid futile debate. And if they
weren't doing that then I was hanging out on St.Catherine Street and
sneaking into movies. <g>
And as for "teacher vibe" - I'm so doomed! My mother ran a nursery
school, and my father taught university. So basically whomever decides
to get into a relationship with me is going to get applause when they
tie their shoes, rigorous debate over the merits of deconstructionism,
and their face wiped with dirty tissues covered in my own saliva! (who's
gonna marry me???)

ROFLMAO!
We're a grape eating match made in heaven. Where were you when all those
skins were tickling my sensitive little throat?

ROFL! Yes Ma'am - but first I gotta go play with my friend. And honey -
you don't ever have to beg! In fact you'd better just watch out because
I think you're going to be seeing a lot of Mr. Mailman in the near
future...
::Gah:: ! It's 4:am for Christ's sake. Why am I still awake? Go sleep
now silly girl so you no crash car when you drive into town tomorrow.

There was a Muchmusic thing at the beginning of the tour? <g>
What, did they do something on Fax?
Oh, I never ever catch these things -- my VCR fucked up, so even if
they did air the StarTV rerun, I didn't get it. I also missed the time
they talked to Mark (caught the last two minutes) and the time they
visited Scott's house.
Yeesh!
Would it be possible to get a copy of this, perchance? <g>
