Subject: The most info-packed post you'll ever read.
I have a few points to make. I'm too lazy to reply often to all these posts
so i am making up just ONE.
1. Okay, I have this hot hot video of BFF at their 7" release party at the
Cat's Cradle in NC. I'm not sure what the exact date but i seem to thoink
it's July of 95 or 96. It doesn't matter. I can't recall the setlist
offhand, but i know it has EDDIE WALKER, TOM & MARY and a cover of
Hendrix's CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC. it's an excellent video, it was shot in
digital format i guess.
ALSO on the tape i have the MTV videos of BRICK, DWARF, BOWCCL, and UNCLE
WALTER. I also have them on Conan O'Brien, on 120 Mins, and SESSIONS AT W
54th.
Needless to say, this video rules.
but i am sick of it being my only thing to trade!!!! so i'll make you a
deal. if you want a copy of this video, i will make you one in exchange for
3 audio tapes.....or 2 and a sob story. it takes a LOT of time to record
and about $3 to send. i think this is a fair deal. if you question the
quality of this tape, e-mail MrAndMrRay@aol.com and ask him how he likes his!
2. To all those people who wanted me to send them a copy of the Generic BFF
article, i'm sorry it took so long. it's in the mail!
3. Who's the cutest? Why robert, of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>the end part of "philosophy." I do believe it's by Gershwin but I'm not
>sure. I play the piano and ever since I heard this in the song I've had
That's "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin, if I'm not mistaken.
United Airlines uses it as their song, too.
Side note: This is THE best BFF song I've heard to date.

PS: Has anyone seen where "Some B Sides" is sold? Only at concerts,
right? I picked one up at the Chicago Show (@ The Vic) the night before
Halloween, but was curious if they sell the album in stores.

Subject: LAWRENCE TICKETS
HELP! Does anybody have any extra tickets for the Lawrence show? I am
insanely desperate to get some. I just went to TicketMaster today and
they were all sold out and I am thoroughly pissed. Please contact me if
you have or have access to any extra tickets. Thank you so much, you
wonderful mailing list subscribers.

somebody),

And I had something more to say, but I can't remember it so I guess you
don't care. Oh yeah- I just got an EM back from KCPT and they said they
were having satellite problems so they couldn't air SESSIONS. I added my
name to their notification list for when it will be aired, and I will
surely let the Chair when that happens, in order to save all the KCPT
people some time from calling eight more dozen list members. b'bye.

Subject: Brick/Darren
So I was watching the "Brick" video again, and i'm wondering, is the
girl in it the same one who was in Jurassic Park (Ariana Richards)?
Cause it sure looks like it.
And I was also wondering, what is the URL for Petra's Darren Jessee
page?
