Subject: RE:Cleveland Show, Brick air play, which album is better
Hey kids,
Hi. My name is Mike. I've never posted, but I've decided to post now,
while I'm excited enough not to be so shy.
I can't wait for the Cleveland show! I'm totally pumped to finally get to
see BFF! Plus the Halloween date makes it even better!:) Anyone have any
idea about how early I should be at the doors waiting if I want a spot
right up front, like on the barrier? Will there even be a barrier? Anyone
ever been to the Lakewood Auditorium? Email me!
Someone asked about Brick air play, and here in C-land I've heard it twice
I believe, on the modern rock station.
On the cd battle, I still believe that the first cd is their best by far.
Not that waea is bad in any way, the self-titled is just *that* much
better. It's better because it's *not* so polished, imho. I love every song
on it, save Sports & Wine, which I don't really like fer some reason.
later kids,
mike

Subject: BF5, Pearl Jam, Lounge-a-palooza
I've been looking all over for lounge-a-palooza, but I just can't
seem to find it. Could someone plaese provide a little info, such as:
What record label is it on? Who else is on the CD?
As far as BF5 vs Pearl Jam-They're really quite similar. They both put
out outstanding
first albums. They both went way down in quality on thier second albums.
Pearl Jam then changed thier style
(a little), and put out some really great stuff.
Unfortunatly for them, everyone was looking for them to re-record Ten or
something. Everyone compared thier later stuff to Ten, and of
course, it wasn't as good. They fell victim to thier thier own
greatness, I guess.
BF5 hasn't been around as long as PJ, but you can already see them
following the same pattern. True, WEAEA was a great album, but it's nothing compared to the
first. I'm sure they will rebound on thier third.
In hockey, there's a thing called the sophmore slump, when a rookie has a
great year then doesn't even come close his second year. They usually
rebound in thier third. I've noticed most bands do almost the same
thing. PJ did this, and I'm sure BF5 will. The only ones that
haven't(that I care about) are Dave Matthews Band and TOOL.

Subject: LA show ticket info
For those who have been asking, it was just announced that tickets for the
show at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on Nov. 30 will be handled through
Ticketmaster. I don't have an on-sale date yet.
