I think all I could say to her is what I feel, that I love her music. At , you wrote: >Saw the Eels with Lisa last Saturday night at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. It was the first time I've ever seen her live. > >It was great to finally see her, though it was somewhat frustrating seeing her relegated to sideperson in the Eels instead of doing her own stuff. The Eels are okay, but the songs aren't as good as Lisa's, and E's singing has nowhere near the depth of Lisa's. > >She's a great sideperson. She switched between seven or so different instruments, nailed each part, moved around enough to suggest that she was getting into it, but never stole the show. (Okay, she stole the show as far as I was concerned, but that was because I'm a Lisa fan, not an Eels fan). Occasionally I saw a hint of that little-girl quality you can hear in her singing. She didn't sing much--a few harmonies on some of the chourus, a couple of short tags she sang by herself. > >I guess there's always kind of a sadness, seeing a performer whose music you admire so much. The thing is, you listen to someone's songs and feel a connection to the person (especially with Lisa, whose style is so intimate) and then you see them live, and are reminded that there is no connection really--this person doesn't know you from Adam. > >I'm not saying I was miserable or anything...I guess the word for the experience is "bittersweet".

While I've been lurking here for some months, a question keeps coming to me - that, is are there any Tom Waits fans on this list? Any raindogs out there? That man is an awsome crazy genius, please get to know his music if you are unfamiliar. I did get the nerve to go and talk to Lisa when she played in Minneapolis with the Latin Playboys. The timing seemed right - she was leaning against a wall, alone, no adoring friends or fans around her. She had just finished her set, and appeared pleased, reposed. I simply went up to her and said that I wanted to thank her for doing what she does, for that is how I was feeling - very thankfull and quite moved. At any rate - just wanted to say hello.

Or maybe that would be a faux pas. When my husband and I spoke with Lisa after a show, we just told her we were huge fans, the show was great, and conveyed our dismay that more of the huge Latin Playboys crowd didn't show up earlier when she was playing solo. She just said, "Thank you" and sighed. She was friendly and accessible, and may have been willing to talk more, but when I meet "celebrities," I keep my comments brief and let others have their say. As for Tom Waits, I like him but have only a superficial knowledge of his music. I have seen him in movies more than I have heard his songs. The only CD we have is "Small Change," but my husband has a bunch of his vinyl albums in boxes in the closet. Your note inspires me to revisit his work. The song "Step Right Up" is always good for huge laughs. ~Kathryn - ------- 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.

I think the comment is lovely, and I'm glad someone posted it on the 4AD board in the hope that a 4AD bloke might see it. What does annoy me is the chop and change attitude of the music press. Okay, it may have been written by a different journo but the British music press did nothing but jump up and down on Lisa's musical reputation at every opportunity, one journo once suggested that she try to get the journo's father in as the producer of Lisa's next record, as she though he would do a better job. Hmmmph, jealousy.

Contest Hi all! I've had the neat opportunity to meet Lisa a few times! The first time was after her in-store appearance @ Waterloo Records in Austin, TX (the day after her SXSW show) in 1995. I had asked her for her set-list after the previous evening's show so I reminded her that I was the goon who asked for it. I also reminded her that I was the one who yelled out for "Cancer of Everything" as an encore (which she gladly played!). She seemed pleased at my enthusiasm and was surprised by people asking for autographs. I asked her if she ever played "Around The World" (still one of my fave songs!) and she said, "no, I've never played that one live." Then a guy took our picture (he egged me on to put my arm around her- I nervously did and she put her arm around me! :) ) The second time was after her show @ Caravan of Dreams in Ft. Worth, TX 1997- I mentioned that I met her at the in-store appearance two years before & reminded her, as a tease, that she locked her guitar in her car (she sorta scowled at me and I felt sooo stupid!). She & her bass-player posed for a picture w/ me & signed my EXCERPTS FROM A LOVE CIRCUS tour poster. She also commented on her embarassment w/ ON THE WAY DOWN FROM THE MOON PALACE as it was her "first record and recorded a long time ago!" I didn't get a chance to talk w/ her after I saw her w/ The Latin Playboys in Dallas in '98- she went backstage to get ready for the Playboys' gig. So that's what I've said to Lisa. Sorry for the long post. Dave in Dallas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

Our exchange was very brief - I think it was just "you are very welcome". I was so very nervous to be talking to her. My husband talked me up quite a bit before I had the nerve to approach her -the whisky helped as well, of course. She seemed so freaking gracious and calm, very nice experience to thank her, it was. Very nice experience to be so near to her shiny self. Of course I could be sitting here with my head up my ass - she could have been thinking "gaaa! whathfuck". naaaa. Note - if you are uninterested in hearing me ramble about Tom Waits, please hit 'detete' now. About Tom Waits: Ah-ha-ha-ha!! I _knew_ there would be some cross over between the Lisa G / Tom W fan base. Hello there Kerry, Kathryn and Kjell! If any of you are interested in subbing to a listserv for Waits and you have an abundance of free time, the Raindogs listserv is for you. It is a group of profoundly prolific and dilligent fans of Waits. The list generates anywhere between 40-90 posts of mail PER DAY. While I am not an avid poster, I am an avid reader. Due to something called "life", I am veerryy behind on reading my current raindogs mail. There are some hyper-brilliant folks on the list - who write things that are so moving and awesome. Things that will move you in variously nice ways. This is why I love it so, and read it all eventually. There are uncanny days when the lists threads relate so finely to my previous days thoughts or dreams or whatever. To subscribe send E-Mail to: listserv@listserv.hea.ie and in the body of the message type only: subscribe Raindogs Yourfirstname Yourlastname (Be sure to replace "Yourfirstname Yourlastname" with your own details) Now chillun', doncha come crying to me when yer mail box is stuffed full! Kjell wrote: "....I've got half a pack of lucky strikes man, so come along with me...

Kathryn wrote: "Your note inspires me to revisit his work. The song "Step Right Up" is always good for huge laughs." His music took a sharp turn in the early-mid 80's. He became less folk or blues like, but never really fully turned away from this early style. He got fantastically wacky in the 80's, and persists today. The new one, 'Mule Variations", is a nice blend of of the old and the new, kinda wack-folk, but not really. Unclassifiable. Wonderful noise homemade instrument colorful and drunken dream scape songs. He is an under appreciated artist, like Lisa. If for no other reason than this, everyone and their Auntie should check him out. a nice bit of tom for any of you who have read this far to sleep on: Sky is red And the world's on fire And the corn is taller than me The dog is tied To a wagon of rain And the road is as wet as the sea or November has tied me To an old dead tree Get word to April To rescue me November's cold chain Made of wet boots and rain And shiny black ravens On chimney smoke lanes November seems odd You're my firing squad November g'nite, now merry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
