Subject: the lyric line at the end of old armchairs
You know, I think it's great that the Armchair is growing, and I got nothing
against the new majordomo thing or whatever, but I really kinda miss the way
Frank used to stick lines from BF5 songs at the very end. Why can't we still
have those?

Subject: yet another top 10 (i had to...), boxing...
dearest meg,
boxing is about ben. he just uses muhammed ali as a metaphor. he was
having trouble with his music and self esteem and all that jazz, and like
MA, needed some help getting back in the ring. so, he wrote that wonderful
song annd sold millions of albums...
on to bigger and better things, it's my top ten list:
don't ask me about my tastes, I know I'm a little confused...
The Smashing Pumpkins: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream
The Smashing Pumpkins: pisces iscariot
The Squirrel Nut Zippers: The Inevitable Squirrel Nut Zippers
The Squirrel Nut Zippers: Hot
Cake: Motorcade of Generosity
Cake: Fasion Nugget
Ben Folds Five: Ben Folds Five (favorite)
Ben Folds Five: Whatever and ever, Amen (favorite, too)
The Cars: Just What I Needed, The Cars Anthology
well, citizens, ther you have it. once again, I'm putting a little
disclaimer on this: I have very strange music tastes. If I could put three
more, they'd be The Specials: The Specials, Blondie: The Best of Blondie,
and Prince: The Hits One.
oh, yeah, and BFF content:
does anyone know if they are still turing, or where? I went to
BFFweb.com, but it was all jumbled up and funky. maybe that was just my
machine.
thanks

Subject: Boxing
Meg,
Boxing is about quiting. He uses Mohamud (sp?) Ali as a metaphore. The song is
Mohamud Ali singing the song to the once famous CBS sports announcer Howard
Cossell (sp?). Pretty brilliant huh?

Subject: London Gig, July 1st
Hey Everybody
Is anyone going to the show in London on July 1st ?
It's on at the Shepherd's Bush Empire.
I'm going to fly out from Dublin in the Morning, and go to the
show that night. It should be REALLY good. I hope I see
some of you there

Dear Fivers,
Ever since the Pittsburgh show, the wonderful melodies of Ben Folds Five
have been ringing in my brain. The one song that is not, is MItchel Lane
because I have never heard it. Thats what makes my experience so weird... I
was biking down the road one early morning and just as the sun was rising,
what do I spy but a sign for a road right next to my road that I had never
noticed before named "Mitchel Lane"! I think it is a sign! I almost
flipped off of my bike! Instead I just stalled my trip to gaze in wonder at
the sister street of a song written by the one and only Darren Jesse. WOAH.
Luv,
Heather
