Aimee Mann talks @#%&! SMILERS with Paste

By Meghan Jones at 5:33 PM on April 22, 2008

A few weeks ago, Aimee Mann (whose smiling face graced our second issue ever) took some time out of her busy schedule to chat with Paste editor-in-chief Josh Jackson. The two talked about the power of keyboards, séances, being bad at blogging and, of course, @#%&! SMILERS, Mann’s imminent new album. Her new record is scheduled to hit stores shelves June 3, and Mann will be touring this summer as well. Curious about what she had to say for herself? That’s what we thought. Eavesdrop on the conversation here. Related links: Feature: The Evolution of Mann AimeeMann.com Feature: Paste’s 100... read more

Catching Up With... Aimee Mann

By Josh Jackson at 4:58 PM on April 22, 2008

When we were going through our Aimee Mann photos for the second issue of Paste back in 2002, we were surprised that in one of them, she’d broken into a beautiful, wide grin. Because we couldn’t recall seeing a picture of her smiling, we ran it on our cover. That’s why I cracked up when... read more

Aimee Mann announces @#%&! album, tour dates

By Meghan Jones at 5:28 PM on April 3, 2008

Aimee Mann has announced that her new album, entitled @#%&! SMILERS, will be released June 3. This, her totally-not-explicity-titled seventh solo album, is said to be very different from the last two “artistic detour” albums, The Forgotten Arm, and her 2006 Christmas release, One More Drifter in the Snow. Of course, with most new albums come a new set of dates, and Mann has booked herself full for the summertime months. Seemingly preoccupied with wildlife and pretty scenery, she is conducting a tour primarily staged in zoos, aquariums and parks. And one winery, which sounds particularly nice. To get a... read more

Aimee Mann embarks on second annual Christmas tour

By Cristina Martin at 11:22 AM on November 19, 2007

Sonny and Cher, Captain and Tennille, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson. These are all musical artists who have made the holidays even hokier with their campy renditions of Christmas carols and amateur attempts at humor. Most viewers would rather watch It’s a Wonderful Life for the 128,384,477th time than sit through the corny comedy sketches and ridiculous wardrobe choices. But, wait! Look into the distance. There is a light shining above, a star of hope for all that are willing to follow. What star you may ask? It’s the glimmering rays of the goddess singer/songwriter Aimee Mann, and she... read more

Aimee Mann launches a new holiday tour in '07

By Jeremy Goldmeier at 12:39 AM on November 1, 2007

Last year, touring in support of her Christmas CD One More Drifter in the Snow, Aimee Mann brought out the big guns. Comedians Paul F. Thompkins and Fred Armisan, actor John C. Reilly and musicians Nellie McKay and Grant Lee Phillips all appeared with her on various dates along Mann's holiday journey, bringing merriment and good cheer to venues across the nation. In 2007, the extravaganza happens once again. Mann's keeping mum on this year's variety show lineup so far, only hinting at "a well known comedian" and "special guests" in a press release for the trek. Tour dates, however,... read more

Joe Henry Helps Aimee Mann Punch It Up

By Bud Scoppa at 12:00 AM on January 13, 2006

With Aimee Mann’s deep yet immediate 2005 album, The Forgotten Arm, Joe Henry demonstrated that his “live-on-the-floor” approach is as effective with contemplative guitar pop as it is with eruptive soul. read more
