Cool, the "Magnolia" soundtrack was #1. Is there any significance? :-)
Anyway, I just picked up the "High Fidelity" soundtrack on secondspin.com
for $4+etc. If you find other titles, this soundtrack is totally worth the
dinero. (s/h on one item is like $4, and .25 for every after, and then CO
tax) I got a couple other soundtracks during my shopping spree, and "Return
of the Grievous Angel." As for my secondspin.com experience, I totally
recommend the place! :-)

Amazon just posted this staff review to the Ultimate Collection page:
More ironic footnote than ultimate collection, this anthology is a =
bittersweet reprise of Aimee Mann's troubled major-label career. Take a =
few 'Til Tuesday tracks (including their 1980s hit, "Voices Carry"), =
most of her I'm With Stupid album, some tracks from Whatever, and a =
whole bunch of B-sides, and you've got--what? Let's call it the =
penultimate collection, since the songs from Mann's dumped Mann and made =
her buy her album back). This collection does boast a lovely cover of =
Badfinger's "Baby Blue," while Mann originals like "That's Just What You =
Are," "Amateur," and "Long Shot" (all from I'm With Stupid) still sound =
great. But without "Save Me" or Mann's other more recent triumphs (or, =
come to think of it, anything from her first band's Bark Along with the =
Young Snakes), Utimate Collection doesn't begin to tell the story of =
this talented pop survivor. --Bill Forman=20

these grand, wonderful ways." -- Cameron Crowe

Hi mannlist, Im out of lurking mode for a moment because I have a stupid (?)
question.
With all these airfare deals, I want to take a vacation, and how better to
do that than to go to an Aimee Mann concert? I logged on to her website and
see the tour dates, but no info on how to order tickets or pricing.
How do I order tickets?
I was looking at perhaps Chicago or Columbus.
Thanks so much!
-Talia
PS - I turn 21 this Friday :) Thanks for many happy years listening to you
Aimee! :)

Forgive my ignorance, but what are "Red Vines"? I'm having a bit of =
trouble working out what Aimee's song of the same name is all about.
Also, is Aimee's song "Ghost World" based on the comic by Daniel Clowse?
Aidan.

Red Vines are a "Classic" licorice brand that has been around forever. So
the song is making reference to having cigarretes and red vines (the licorce).

Jill had told me this, I didn't want to mention this until it was published,
and then forgot about it.
It's actually last months issue, so don't waste your time finding it, I'll
just print the letter I got published in that issue here. It's about that
bigot Eminem gracing the cover of Spin a few months ago.
'I can't believe that a magazine that constantly pats itself on the back for
being PC would put a bigot on the cover.'
I wish there was one major rock critic, and Spin has some, would say
something like 'I don't care how talented Eminem is musically, he's a bigot,
and his lyrics render any serious prase of his talent null and void.' And
that's why I wrote the letter. I'm glad it was printed.
Oh yeah, I haven't seen this yet, but on Spin.com, and mentioned in the
latest issue, is an interview with Aimee and Michael after an AV show in I
believe LA on their site.

And yes, 'Ghost World' is based on Dan Clowes's book.

Well, I have some catching up to do. Andrea, thanks for the chart
positions. Salt, I just read the interview and scoured the site! I am
coming over with a sleeping bag...SOON!! I refuse to leave until I have
heard all the hidden Til Tuesday songs! I agree with Robert Holmes about
that passionate part, John! You ARE an artist! Why can't our spouses {and
judges [g]} understand that this passion for Aimee is a good thing?!!
Sharon, I am coming over to your place with a sleeping bag, and I refuse to
leave until...well, I refuse to leave!! [grin]
Neil Finn played before 70,000 people (along with Leonardo's Bride) in
Sydney during some Olympic festivities. [Goosebumps] I am thinking the
Academy Awards should be conducted like the Olympics. Phil's gotta be *on*
something and blood tests would prove it (he couldn't be writing that stuff
sober!!). Disqualified!
Speaking of Olympics and carrying torches...
Russ, if I ever make it to Aimee's and see photos of you at Chirstmas dinner
with Aimee's folk dishing you up yams with a huge smile on your face, we are
going into the alley, buster!! I just want the list to I know I never
trusted Russ!! [grin]
Disciple is a good one, but I prefer *Royal subject*. Of course,
*defendant* and "plaintiff/petitioner* might be closer to our roles.;-)
