Musings on the byways of popular culture

The good news for Aimee’s fans is she is touring Europe in October. The bad news is she is only doing two British dates (London on 26th at The Palladium and Glasgow O2 ABC on the 29th with Dublin National Stadium sandwiched between on the 28th).
Is she really more popular in Germany, where she plays three dates, than in the UK? I guess the answer is Follow The Money.
Tickets go on sale on Monday.

I just found this moving performance on YouTube, which is the first I’ve heard about a new album from Aimee. It’s out on Friday (31st), apparently, and called “Mental Illness”, and if this and the other clips I found online is anything to go by, she’s back in classic form again! Hooray!

It’s been done before on a Mojo or Uncut freebie CD but this is a performance by Watkins Family Hour & Friends that includes all of Robbie Z’s classic album. Watkins Family Hour includes Sara & Sean Watkins (late of Nickel Creek), Fiona Apple and Benmont Tench. & Friends includes Al Kooper, Shawn Colvin and Aimee Mann. Thought it was worth a mention.
