Aimee Mann fans ?

She is simply incredible and I agree that her work on the last 2 Till Tuesday albums are to die for. All of her solo work is good too especially " bachelor " and of course the Magnolia soundtrack which has some of Bachelor on it . She fought for creative control and was nearly squashed by greedy suits at the record co but fight she did and went her own way doing her own thing. You have got to respect this woman.

I think that she not only has beautiful voice, but has a very enticing method of "phrasing" her music as well. Isn't she from the Boston area?

All this talk about the previous albums (CDs) got me to dig them all out. Last night I went through "Bachelor #2", "Magnolia" soundtrack, and "I'm With Stupid". Tonight, time permitting, it will be "Everything's Different Now", "Whatever", and "Lost in Space".

I am into vinyl. I'll have to get the MoFi "Lost in Space" album.

I don't have the earlier 'Til Tuesday albums. How do they compare to "Everything's Different Now"?

If anyone is interested, I have her first bands only EP (vinyl). I think they were called the Snakes. I remember it's pop-punk but she does sound great even so long ago. And yes, they were from Beantown.

I am a huge fan, though I must admitt it is not for her musical talents alone. She stands out in my mind as one of those rare people who have put their creative work before the possibility of a very sucessful image,even at the risk of failure. That takes a lot of courage and integrity. It seems to me that that is a real dilemma for a lot of artists in the music industry, and win or lose careers I have thought it has been artists who have been loyal to their creative vision -rather than to the consumer or industry, that have tended to take part in shaping and broadening the music landscape for those of us fortunate enough to hear for them. I have enormous admiration for that, and I thankful to Aimee Mann for opening the door that much more. As for Aimee Mann, she has a unique phrasing and refined wit that I find extremely appealing. The transformation from her earlier career is remarkable regardless of what you might assess her real talents to be.
