Aimee Mann

@bdp24 

I don't think $10 beer is ridiculous. I don't know any place where it costs less other than at the store/liqueur store. Those ticket prices are a bit high, the highest here was $99.

A few years ago I wanted to see Nathaniel Rateliff, the tickets started at $180. I looked into tour dates, in Vienna, Austria they cost $45. I asked my friends who live there, if the government subsidizes rock concerts, they said "no, we are just not crazy"

Still, I don't support $10 beer prices, I just saw too many $20 stickers for a Miller Light at the ballpark.

fun fact: her husband is the brother of the Penns. I despise talented and hard working people.

Aimee fans who haven't seen her acting as herself in on an episode of Portlandia would be well-advised to check it out. It's really funny.

"Elvis Costello is known for being stingy with his praise and liberal with his criticism. So when he chooses to champion a fellow singer-songwriter, it attracts attention.

This year he sang the praises of Aimee Mann in the English music press, saying he wished he’d written these opening lines to one of her recent songs: “Today’s the Fourth of July / Another June has gone by / And when they light up our town I just think what a waste of gunpowder and sky.”

@mysteriousmrm thanks! I actually read it on her wiki page. And I did want to check it out. She must feel at home in Portlandia.
