Cohen" Subject: RE: good x-mas music I got Moby's 'Play' and a gift card for Tower which I turned into 'S.H.A.D.O 2', a collaboration between Higher Intelligence Agency and Pete Namlook, on the Fax label. Not the usual fare for this list, but...while at Tower I also bought 'Barefoot,' the Patti Tribute CD that's been mentioned here before. I gave it a cursory listen at work yesterday, and the tracks seem pretty faithfull to the originals, which, while there's nothing ground breaking here, is a good thing with material this good. I also saw that Rock She Wrote, an anthology of rock criticism by women, which was out of print for a couple of years, has been rereleased. There's at least one piece by Patti, and she's the cover girl. Happy religious and pagan holidays to all. ~Francine ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Dec 1999 09:41:57 -0500 From: Mary Dailey Subject: Re: 311299 . . . 2tkts Phillip - I one ticket for same show - so if you get any takers who need more please let me know - Mary - email: NWBCCC@igc.org GoRimbaud@aol.com wrote: > > i have two tickets for patti's > happy new year show at the > bowery ballroom and they can > be yours at ticket price: $100. > please make your reply off-list. > > phillip ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Dec 1999 09:46:02 -0500 From: Mary Dailey Subject: One ticket to New Years Eve Show Unfortunately I can't find any friends to take my extra ticket to see Patti on 12/31 - if anyone has a friend who wants a ticket - lt me know - - its available for the $50 price - email to NWBCCC@igc.org - Mary ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Dec 1999 10:03:49 EST From: Batttgyrl@cs.com Subject: Patti videos Hi, I am new to the list and am very interested in buying/trading videos ---- please write to me @ Batttgyrl@cs.com, thanks! :-) Jen ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Dec 1999 10:25:47 -0500 From: jsheeler@mindspring.com Subject: Re: Mo' Ms. Pee from NYT (St. Marks) and there's an alternative to this reading (which is no longer as "alternative" as it was at its inception) being held at CBGB's during the same hours on New Years day. babel-list@postmodern.com wrote: > Also from NYToday (NY Times electronic calendar) > Saturday, Jan 1, 2000 2:00PM > Books & Talks Events: Readings > Books: New Year's Day 2000 Marathon Reading > St. Mark's Church — Just think, a marathon without sweating > or heavy breathing (well, maybe a little). > 2000 Marathon Reading > Books & Talks Events: NYToday Pick, > Readings > > You’ve partied like it’s 1999; now what?

No, but I'm going to finally be able to listen to some after I get my new turntable tomorrow! Finally - all those old Neil Young, Doors, Dylan, Springsteen, Joni Mitchell albums I hijacked from my parents' garage will be listenable again! Not to mention my Blondie and Bowie on vinyl... I was actually disappointed this year - I gave music to almost everyone I know, but didn't get any in return. Unless you count the Best Buy gift certificate. It's the gift that keeps on buying... Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah & Kwanzaa to alla youse babelistas throughout the land! Hope all going to the concerts have a wonderful time! Warm Wishes, XRuby PS.
