Thanks for BF5 for playing an extraordinary show at the 9:30 Club last
night. Also thanks to Bettie Seervert, who came from behind & scored a
great win. See you both soon.

Hi all you crazy kids,

This does have a little bit of BFF content to it. I've FINALLY got my
friend hooked on BFF! And she wanted to borrow my CD, but I wouldn't
let her because I couldn't part with it....*L* Anyhow, since everyone is
naming their top ten fave Cd's, I thought I'd join in....Ready????
     

	*in no particular order, because my moods are always changing*

BFF- Whatever and Ever Amen
Space- Spiders
Imperial Teen- Seasick
The Smiths- Strangeways, Here We Come
Squeeze- The Singles
Adam Ant- Friend or Foe
James- Laid
The Cure- Show
Elvis Costello- Girls, Girls, Girls
Pulp- Different Class

toodles,
Kim

umm i see everyone listing their 10 favorite albums and i feel obliged to do
so too, so here it is (not in order)

Sleater Kinney/ Dig Me Out
Sleater-Kinney/ Call the Doctor
Sleater-Kinney/ Sleater-Kinney
Excuse 17/ Such Friends Are Dangerous
Veruca Salt/ Eight Arms To Hold You
Ben Folds Five/ Ben Folds Five
Bikini Kill/ Reject All American
You Am I/ Hi Fi Way
Magic Dirt/ Magic Dirt
Bis/ The New Transistor Heroes


And, by the way- Bettie Serveert fucking rules! they kick all of yr asses,
and all of you that saw them with BFF are so lucky to have seen such a great
show. so don't complain that they suck, because the band would be laughing at
you if they knew how much you hated them, and they'd laughing all the way
back to Europe with YOUR money. and how many of you that bashed them have
bands of yr own that play shows with BFF? oh, didn't think so!
