Just bumped this thread back up because there's a cool mini-interview with Aimee in the EW website. Of course, it's not in the magazine where it might give her a little exposure :rolleyes:
Anyways, here it is.

you suck...I mean Have Fun!!! ;)

That should be cool man, enjoy. :beer:

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I had a :beer: in your honor!
It really was a great show, by the pool, below the eifel tower. There were probably 300-400 people there and it had a really nice feel to it. I stayed afterwards and got to meet Aimee and had her sign my ticket. Very cool night, indeed.

My camera phone takes really crappy pictures from further than threee feet, but here's a look at the show:

Typical. They did not review The Donnas latest CD until it had been out for a few months and was "hot" I guess they would rather waste the space on J.Lo. :rolleyes:

Sigh. You do suck!! How cool would this have been. Damn.

Aimee played Hyde Park just two days after I was in London last time. That would have been a good show too. Hell, she's great anywhere.

This EW people are talking about. That is Entertainment Weekly, no? If so, they are the WORST! Man, you're better off picking up People or US anymore. They used to be a halfway decent magazine the first few years. Now, they think they are ultra hip. Way too mean spirited most of the time. They will rag on someone one minute and kiss their ass the next. They are also famous for giving a less than paragraph review for established artists (around 20 years or longer), even weeks after the album was released, and yet spend two pages on the flavor of the month. Not to mention there are so many errors and inconsistencies all the time. I cancelled my subscription long ago. Good riddance.

Aimee Mann's "Lost in Space" SE
 

What a smokin' little release. The original album plus a bonus disc that features five live tracks, two b-sides, two unreleased tracks, a song from the BBC and the video to "Pavlov's Bell". Plus the jewel case is actually a hard cover book. If I hadn't read about this in Blender, I would have never known about it. A must for any AM fans. I'm a happy camper. And no, I don't work for Aimee (or her label). Just a devotee since "Welcome Home".

I own Lost in Space, and I am definitely considering getting the SE if I can. I heard copies are very limited though.

The last time I looked, the SE was available at her website for $20. The regular edition was $10, which is what I have. I'd recommend either one, as I am a huge fan of her and her cynical lyrics. After d/l a lot of her catolog off Kazaa, I went and bought her 4 albums. I also saw her perform poolside last year at the Paris, Las Vegas. My gf really enjoyed it and I was able to convert her over as a result.

I love Aimee's music. I have seen here live a couple of times. She puts on a great concert.

This has just been announced on her website today. I've been waiting for a live album from her for over a decade and it looks to be a good one. It appears that the CD is just a copy of the live DVD (like Coldplay's was), but still it looks to be a nice package.

Awesome news! Can't wait to hear the new songs ("Going Throuigh The Motions" and "King Of The Jailhouse").

This will be a definite purchase for me.

:thumbsup:

I saw Aimee and her band in Vancouver on Tuesday. Great show!
She played both those new songs, and they were really good (especially 'Going Through the Motions').

Her and her band also played a really cool version of BTO's 'Taking Care of Business' :) She actually got her opening band, The Honeydogs, to come up and play it together.

Yeah, I saw her a month or two ago. Great live show!

Is "going through the motions" a cover from the Buffy musical? Cause that would be awesome!

What, no "Voices Carry"?

I agree, I know I'm gonna get another Pearl Jam DVD, but some groups and singers might only put one out forever or at least one for many, many years.

It would have been nice for her to have included Voices Carry ao that I could have that live in case she doesn't do this again.

She had some live tracks on the Lost In Space Reissue....I liked her cover of coldplay's the scientist

I don't think she ever does that song. Apparently she rarely breaks it out, but I've seen her a few times and it isn't part of her repertoire (though she will occasionally do other Til Tuesday songs).

And yes, Aimee's version of The Scientist (and also Steely Dan's Dirty Work) are great covers and I didn't know that it was released on the Lost in Space SE.

if you already own Lost in Space, you can buy just the second cd on itunes. Most of the B-sides are good songs

I saw Aimee just last night at the Ventura Theater. Her show was most excellent. Aimee was bragging about her new boxing physique flexing her bi-ceps for the crowd. I hung around after the show and was able to get her to sign my LIS S/E CD. She was very nice with those who waited around. Am very much looking forward to this long overdue release of this DVD/CD offering.
