Aimee Mann fans ?

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.

Aimee's on HD Net, Live, Sunday Night at 9:00 PM eastern time.
