I live in Detroit, Michigan -- actually (and I haven't been murdered... yet!) although I think it has left me a little crazier than I was before. My favorite songs from Slide are: (there is no order) Crash Way below the radio Reptile Really the only thing I've been disappointed in with Lisa was that she played such a short set when she opened for Latin Playboys. She was so good -- and then she was gone! Did any of you Kristin Hersh fans get to preview Sky Motel last week? I heard it was available for listening online, I think just for one day, but I didn't get a chance to listen myself. She would definitely be my suggestion for something new to try if you don't know her music already.

It's from the show "Morning Becomes Eclectic" that was broadcast Jul 21, 1998, when Slide appeared. www.kcrw.org ...and follow the "find it!" link to search their archives You get interesting alternative takes of her wonderful music from the album, and you get to hear her talk about these songs and her music in general. Performance list: Reptile, Slide, Guillotine, Wood Floors, Way Below the Radio If any of those songs make your list of faves, you might like hearing the piano interpretations. I still find myself entranced, even when listening through pathetic PC speakers.

Hi guys - I'm sara, I live in Astoria , NY which is in Queens - there have been so many posts these days...has the person in charge of this list given us the exact number of people joined to sycophant yet? I'd really like to know - I'd also love to let Lisa know how much we all care - I remember someone saying that she closed the P.O. Box - is there any other way of getting a message to her? Ever since this all started I've been wanting to start a crusade for Lisa's music - not that I want to force any new music out of her if she really doesn't want to make any more I won't complain - she has done so much amazing work already BUT I can't imagine that she would be upset if people on the internet started promoteing her past work in any and every way imaginable...isn't there a way to do this? I'm feeling really devious right now and wishing that I could come up with some sort of "Lisa Virus" that would play her music non-stop for at least 24 hours on every computer in the world >:) ha ha HA! (just kiddin') Further more, I always thought she was talking about Betty Davis - I'm not sure why ;) but I guess if mom's name is Betty that has to be it. I don't like to name favorites - especially with such brilliant music so here are the songs from Slide that give me the biggest thrill when I hear them start playing: Way below the radio If I Think of Love Crash Reptile And if the world and all of it's inhabitants were completely obliterated tomorrow and I was left to fend for my own on a desert island here's my list of musicans that I would just absolutely have to have with me: Elliott Smith Tori Amos PJ Harvey HNIA (entire cast) Ida (entire cast) Lisa (of course :) (i.e. the "secret stars") (i.e. my list of bands that are always represented in my cd travel case) nighty night! >----Original Message Follows---- >From: zqc53@TTACS.TTU.EDU >Reply-To: sycophant@smoe.org >To: sycophant@smoe.org >Subject: sycophant roll call... >Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 16:00:55 -0600 (CST) > > >since this list has resurrected itself, it seems....do ya think now's a >good time to ask that ubiquitous email list question....where are all of >you from? - ------- 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.
