> **[Aimee Mann](https://aimeemann.com/)** > > Aimee Mann - Mental Illness Out Now Like she did with Lost in Space, Aimee Mann is streaming tracks from her new album, [The Forgotten Arm](http://www.aimeemann.com/theforgottenarm.html), on her website. Looks like three per week until the new album releases (May 2 if I recall). So get over there and check 'em out! This week’s tracks are very good, especially “That’s How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart.” And if you, like me, just have to have a song to carry around with you as well, “Going Through the Motions” is available on iTunes for a buck. It’s not quite as good as the live version from the St. Anne’s CD/DVD, but it’s still new Aimee. 😉 Now May 2 just needs to get here. 😃 ---

No replies! Poor Aimee. ☹ I shall perservere though and mention that Aimee Mann is featured this week in iTunes “Originals” series, which includes rerecordings of several of her more popular songs and lots of interview audio. Awesome stuff, especially my recent favorite _“That’s How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart.”_ New album out May 2! ---

I’m excited too. You are not alone, **Slacker**. It might be just the two of us, but you’re not alone. ---

Make it a threesome. I really got into her music after watching “Magnolia,” even though I knew of her since her work with 'Til Tuesday. She’s also a “local girl,” having spent some time in the Richmond area. ---

Good to hear. Coincidentally, as I was pulling up this post Aimee’s cover of “One (is the lonliest number)” from the Magnolia soundtrack came up on my iPod. 😃 ---

Make that at least three of us. I’m looking forward to the new disc, and XPN in Philly has already been playing some of the new tracks. Also, just got tickets for the Appel Farm Music Festival in June, where Aimee is one of the headliners. ---

I hope it’s better than Lost in Space - sorry to say I hated that record, not one hook that stayed with me, and I didn’t care for the production values much. I want the old Aimee back. PS I didn’t like the Magnolia tunes either. Sorry. ---

Sorry. OMG blasphemer! :eek: Just out of curiosity what are your favorite songs/albums of Aimee’s? I’ve heard most of the new album - maybe I can predict whether you’ll like it. 😃 ---

I’m excited about the new CD. I don’t see how it’s much of a departure though. I guess on her website it says that it is. I love Aimee. ---

I’ve loved her since “I’m with Stupid.” Besides, supposedly she worked at Newbury Comics back in the day. ---

Did anyone see her in Rush’s hilarious “Time Stands Still” music video? Upon review, her hair is a startingly reminder of the 80s. She still looks pretty hot though. ---

Sweet! Thanks for the heads-up, **Slacker**.
