Subject: Armchair video?
Okay. I tried posting about a week or so ago about this, but it didn't go
through, so here it is again:
Hey. It's that "Steve!" kid again with another informative & lovingly
illustrated post. To my suprise, when I made my daily check of my Juno
E-mail account (it's free, so I can do it every day! HAHAHAHA!!!!! And so
on.....), I had a shitload of responses to my plea for 120 minutes & some
pleas for the stuff I have on tape. So many, and I know how you folks
like watching Ben Folds on the TV screen. Sure, gives you a nice, warm,
fuzzy feelin'..... Anyhoo, I know that everyone needs SOMETHING for their
collection, so I figure "Hey! Why don't we make a master tape of all the
Ben Folds Five stuff we can get our dirty little mitts on & distribute it
over the Armchair?!?". What a plan indeed. So, I need some comments on
this idea. Here's what I have already:
6/10/97 - Jenny McCarthy
11/8/97 - Sessions@ W.54th
11/10/97 - Brick premiere
12/17/97 - Letterman
12/19/97 - MTV Live
1/10/98 - SNL
1/?/98 - VH1 Crossroads (soon)
2/22/98 - 120 minutes (soon)
2/25/97 - Leno
2/26/98 - Keenan
Roughly 80 minutes. So, I am looking for contributions & comments.
Anything you have of Ben Folds Five on video that I don't, I'm looking
for it. Especially non-Brick stuff (I already have all 8 or so
performances on tape & damned if I need another!) Please e-mail me with
what you have & I'll figure out if I can use it (chances are, I can) &
I'll fill everyone in when that's all set. Good idea?
*HEY..... IT'S*
Steve!

Subject: i am bad!
Okay Okay, I did a really bad thing yesterday night. My friends made me
ring up the local radio station 'Power Fm' which is unfortunately a
commercial station. Since they are regulars I told the girl Sally who my
friends were and then she asked what type of music I am in too (cos my
friends, well one is obsessed with Hanson and the other, the spice
girls) so I said well ben Folds five and she's like who? And I said they
are alternative and she said that they probably wouldn't play it cos it
ain't in the chart, then stupid me had to mention Brick and say how
popular it is in America and that it's in the charts, played everywhere
and everything. Then she said she'd write it down and look to see if
they have it.
Then about 15 mins left into the show the guy Skip goes, "good news,
we're playing Brick!" And I'm like WHAT?! then sally said that I
requested it and the guy said he's been waiting for someone to request
it for a few days and said I saved their day. And then he said "thank
you Julie for requesting Brick, Finally some new music" Plus he said "it
goes off" now how does brick go off, then at the end of the show they
said they run out of time, and couldn't play it and said they'd play it
tomorrow and the talked about it for at least 2 minutes. Saying what I
said, and how it's good and apparantly in the hot 100 ???????? and said
"tomorrow on Skip's hot 20 (i hear you sigh) Brick for Julie and
everyone else" then my spice girls loving friend rang, to make sure I
heard it. And now I'm regretting it. I'm the first person to ever
request bff on power fm. WHAT HAPPENS IF EVERYONE LIKES IT!!??
Damn me, damn them
I'm feeling very low so please leave me alone for at least a few hours.
~Anti-Gavin (regretting the entire day of yestreday
"Well Damn them" Robert about (guess who) BU$H!!!!!!! (Robert's a
legend, robert's a legend, and less than one week till his birthday!!)
"Well now everyone can blame you if they get popular here" my stupid
friend
P.S - I had the coolest dream, not about bff, well sorta, but about us
armcharite's all meeting togather. And believe me, it was packed! And
Frank wouldn't reveal what he looked like! :) ARE THEY REALLY IN THE
HOT 100?? (I'm talking bout brick here)

No time to check my incomings today, but incase no one
heard, BFF is scheduled on Keenan Ivory Wayans tonight

Is it just me or does that concern anyone else?
