  1. In November 1995, Aimee Mann released her second studio album. I first got to know her with her Magnolia soundtrack and then later during my study years when we used «Save Me» for a small film we made.

    There’s something about her meandering melodies that is so unique and immediately sounds like her, and I love that ❤️

    Aimee’s one of the artists that are a core part of my OS – I’m always delighted when her beautiful songs make an appearance in my thoughts.

  2. Today’s listening is ‘Everything’s Different Now’, the 1988 album by ’Til Tuesday.

    ’Til Tuesday was the band that Aimee Mann was a member of before she embarked on her solo career.

    This is a really good album, with nearly all the lyrics and a large chunk of the music being written by Aimee.

    It’s mostly upbeat, late 1980’s sound and production gives it the feel of an Aimee Mann solo album that has been treated with Prozac!

    Well worth a listen.

  3. The Both - The Both

    You probably wouldn't expect Aimee Mann and Ted Leo to be as compatible as they are, unless you'd seen one of their collaborative Christmas shows. And yet, here they are, as a group called The Both, from a few years back.

    OK, 10 years back. Hard to believe it came out that long ago. But they're still working together, and maybe another good LP will emerge.

  4. Today feels like a good Aimee Mann day. A Wikipedia article posits: "She is noted for her sardonic and literate lyrics about dark subjects." Aimee Mann is the perfect tonic always, but especially on certain days. Here's another great piece: #musictherapy #AimeeMann #WomenInRock

  5. #sketchbook February 2024. A quick pencil #drawing of singer-songwriter #AimeeMann (originally of #TilTuesday fame, including their big hit "voices carry" about her ex, the founder of industrial band Ministry, Al Jorgenson). #art

  6. Reading up on #WeyesBlood as I'm soaking in her beautiful recent album, *And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow*

    Her voice has a lot of #KarenCarpenter and #AimeeMann , but the one person she reminds me of more than anyone else is #JudeeSill .

    She is a far stronger songwriter than Judee, but there's just that hint of spirituality-caused sadness, if that makes any sense.
