1. "Magnolia" was such a great film in no small part because of Aimee Mann's music.

Well, *I* liked "Magnolia"

[RetroLounge]

12. He was also in Boogie Nights.

He played the producer when Dirk and Reed were recording their crappy album.

5. She is MY FAVORITE

I think her song-writing compares w/ Neil Young. I think she's fabulous.

Besides that, she sings in my range, so I can sing along.

"Whatever" is such an amazing CD.

Love Love, Love, Love, Love, capital "L" Love, Love, Love, Aimee Mann.



(Did I say "Love"?)

8. I don't think it's a coincidence we both used the word "chime"

I'm just disappointed you used it right before me.

9. great minds i guess

:)

7. I'll chime in with my admiration.

Her songs almost always make me feel opposite things at the same time. Hopeful and discouraged. Sad and happy. Social and isolated.

She's brilliant.

10. YES

she's got the Timeless Talent

11. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that....

Aimee and I once had a lunch date together. That was many years ago. Before Aimee achieved fame. She's a great performer and songwriter, that's for sure.

I always liked this pic of her and Andy Partidge singing 'Collideascope' together.

13. LOL, I'm G with E

I'd mention this at every opportunity if I was you

[RetroLounge]

15. Do you kiss and tell?

:9

17. No kissing involved.

Just a simple little lunch date. I must confess that her reasons for even agreeing to have lunch with me probably had more to do with her interest in a friend of mine, more than her desire to spend time with me.

But hey, a lunch date is a lunch date. Am I wrong?

[RetroLounge]

18. You are correct

and I am sure she was a wonderful lunch date...

14. Great voice, great songs, and

as if that wasn't enough absolutely gorgeous. Last year's "Forgotten Arm" has become one my favorite all time albums.

[mvd]

16. She deserves all the praise she gets

Not only has a great voice, but one you can easily point out as hers. Bachelor #2 is one of my favorite CDs.

19. she was awesome in 'the big lebowski'!

:hi:
