'YOU BET YOUR AS I AM!' says the usually lowercase patrick. i'm so excited
that this is happening. rlj's music is very close to my heart; i even made
one of my earliest choreographies to songs from the first album, including
youngblood and one of the greatest lyrics ever written, last chance texaco.
her music was a shared love for me and a dear, dear friend who is gone now,
so there's always that association, too.
i had given mark two very carefully constructed mush tapes, one of jane
siberry, and one of rlj. i was kind of surprised that he liked the jane one
more at the time. the rickie lee one started off with her (magnificent, i
think) cover of the airplane's 'coming back to me'.
since i bought her albums in order, i'd probably suggest pirates next
especially for 'lucky , as wally did, but magazine is a fantastic album.
magazine includes 'the real end', a sad-lyricked end of the affair type
song, but produced as a jazzy upbeat song, with fantastic horns at the end.
it's on your tape, mark, i think you mentioned liking it.

jfp, through the walls from my somewhat inconsiderate neighbor - wyclef
jean - hiphop version of pink floyd's wish you were here. then they played
the operatic soprano duet that is used in that british airways commercial
(the one about the space station).
