The Both have been doing "Voices Carry" fairly regularly. Also see the "Labrador" video above if you haven't already...

Saw these two last night, great show. They performed the whole album plus Mann's "Voices Carry," "Save Me" and "Goodbye, Caroline," and Leo's "Bottled In Cork," a new song called "Lonsdale Avenue," and one I didn't recognize. Lots of great banter, including Mann outing Leo as a Tolkein nerd (he apparently "led some chapter discussions" of The Hobbit on TheOneRing.net), and Leo's absolutely perfect impersonation of Paul Stanley from the banter tapes.

_I once saw her, and this one person was yelling for "Superball." Mann couldn't believe it, but I like that song, too._Was that in DC?

We appear to have slept on this wonderful new song from her forthcoming album, written from Trump's point of view. It's been out since October:

is it from a forthcoming album? I don't know. all kinds of people put out songs in that campaign

it is not on the new album

There are few artists in the world that I love more than Aimee Mann, but I found that Trump song super clunky and obvious.
The one from the new album sounds much more promising.

always loved her songs on the magnolia soundtrack. save me, wise up, momentum, her cover of one is the loneliest number...
― flappy bird, Monday, 3 April 2017 03:38 (six years ago) link
solid album, a few stand-outs ("Goose Snow Cone" and "Patient Zero") and other mostly pretty good tracks, kind of what i expect from her albums at this point. feel much of it growing on me over time
some live radio performanceshttp://www.wfuv.org/content/aimee-mann-2017
― Nhex, Tuesday, 18 April 2017 23:49 (six years ago) link
Solid, but a little too midtempo subdued for me, especially coming from someone for whom "midtempo subdued" is generally the default. Like the piano.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 18 April 2017 23:55 (six years ago) link
I would have also liked more variety, but I'm finding parts of it are really sticking with me, "Stuck in the Past" especially.

“Ghost world” is in my head all the time. The syncopation of “finals blew, I barely knew, my graduaaation speech”
― calstars, Sunday, 28 April 2019 11:32 (four years ago) link
There are so many great lines on it.
Such weirdly dated late '90s/early '00s musical tropes — specifically the way the guitars are strummed and drum beats played — in it too, but the songwriting stands up so well.
Always dug the Sgt Peppers trumpets on Calling It Quits also.
― in twelve parts (lamonti), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 14:03 (four years ago) link
Case in point the heavily filtered drumming playing an indie take on The Funky Drummer Beat behind the lines "12th of June, a gibbous moon, was this the longest day?" around 2 minutes into Ghost World.

― Nhex, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 02:33 (four years ago) link
Me too! I like Froom, but Brion comes off like Froom with perhaps fewer gewgaws. (I also love Jon Brion the performer, and also songwriter, which he does not seem to do that often anymore.)

I saw somewhere yesterday that she was going to be 60 and I went through my now-normal routine of "how can that be/oh wait I'm old." Aimee has always been 10 years older than me, that just didn't used to sound so old.

Seriously. The last time I saw her perform more or less the same thing occurred to me. I'm definitely at the stage where I'm the age of or older than people I once thought of as old. And they're still old, except now I'm old, too!
