Am very much looking forward to this long overdue release of this DVD/CD offering.

i was planing on going to this show to since i now live in ventura, but i ended up giong to the curiosa festival in san fran instead.

im seeing flogging molly there next week. how is the ventura theater? i've heard mixed things. one guy said it was too loud, and some girl said she hated it because of the poor managment or something. how many people does it hold?

Here's a link to a great streamed video of "Save Me" performance. This gives us a prelude of what to expect come November. The Aimee link is the 3rd one down in the right column. Check it out!

According to their site, it's only $13.99 at Best Buy. I'll be there at lunch today.

Not really familiar with her work, but her page on Launch at Yahoo indicates those that like Sheryl Crow and the Cranberries would like Mann. Any thoughts on that assertion?

Well, I like Sheryl Crow and I love Aimee, but I'm not sure that they're that similar. Aimee is less commercial, more adult contempory and less rock-tinged. Have you seen Magnolia? All the music in that movie is her. I think she's fantastic. Take a listen to some of her stuff on her home page www.aimeemann.com

yeah, I popped over there and listened to a few tracks. message board on her website also had a thread of "what other artists do you like" and it meshed pretty well with my personal list. I'll give this a try.

I'm a big Aimee Mann fan (have been ever since Magnolia). I like the Cranberries, but, other than a few tracks, I'm not too big a fan of Sheryl Crow.

She's not really easily definable, in my opinion--not too many other artists have her sound or her talent.

My DVD is on the way from Amazon--should get it today (if there's mail, I don't know) or tomorrow. Really looking forward to it--especially the new tracks from the new album.

Mine came yesterday from her distributor. It is a 2-disc amray case. I only had time to preview a couple of songs, but the video looks good and the sonics were good as well. I am very pleased.

actually it is available in either a 2-disc Amray or a 2 disc jewel case depending on what retailer you purchase it at and depending on how much of either/both configurations they ordered

Huh. That's interesting. I didn't talk about packaging in the review, but that's a curious release methodology.

Best Aimee Mann album for a newbie

So I really dig the Magnolia soundtrack and would like to get into some more Aimee Mann music. What album(s) do you recommend?

I recommend Lost In Space and Bachelor #2... In my opinion her 2 best CDs.

You can listen to the whole Lost In Space CD on her site - streaming through your choice of Windows Media, Real Audio or Flash.

We had this thread a while ago, but I can't find it in a search.

My favorites are :

I'm With Stupid
Bachelor #2
Magnolia

in that order. Lost In Space is very good too, just fourth on my list. Her new Live CD +DVD is also great.

Agree!

I love all of Aimee's solo CDs. Popcorn....you may want to pick up the live CD/DVD...that way, you get a cross section of her material.

When I drove to visit my folks last weekend, I cranked up the Aimee compilation I made. It made the drive seem much shorter just singing along with one hand on the wheel

Not a bad song. I once played this about 20 times on a long trip and never got sick of it.
