Hey folks. Well, how many of you went out and saw Mercury Rising, staring the
man/legend Bruce Willis runnin' around beating things up? C'mon.. show of
hands.
Great. Now, how many of you remember the two guys who were makin' the code? I
don't remember their names, but ya know.. the guys. Those two guys. They
worked in that office, one was there when Simon origionally called the 'Puzzle
Connection' or whatever.. Those guys. Remember them? Great.
Now.. is it just me, or did one of those guys look like Mr. Ben Folds? I
thought it WAS him, but decided i would have heard about it for a good 14
years straight on the digest before the movie, so it couldn't be. Stuck around
for the credits, and sure enough.. it wasn't him. Don't remember the guy's
name, but "Ben Folds" was not part of it. Anyway.. just thought i'd share my
delusionary delusions. Take care.

single day tickets for Glastonbury or do you have to buy the whole one,

It'll be on June 26-28. Tickets went on sale March 30, and they cost
around 80 pounds (about $130).

Oh, damn it, what an embarassing mistake. I meant "I sure hope that you
folks who don't know me DON'T think that I'm a dickhead." What an awkward
situation, eh? Sorry. Boy, is my face red....
BTW, It's confirmed that Mr. John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants &
Mono Puff (they've got a new album on the way April 21st, so do your
civic duty & buy it!) fame is directing the Song For The Dumped video!
WOO-HOO!!!
Still kisses with saliva
Steve!

Subject: Re: Angry at One Angry Steve
Some of you may recall that I had a post in issue 922 replying to the One Angry Steve post in issue 918. My post was strictly a joke, one which I didn't think needed any explanation. But Steve would like me to clarify that it was, in fact, a joke. So hey gang, it most certainly was. On the surface I was arguing with his post, but actually I was offering up a great big "I second that!" Now why would anyone write anything so contrary to what they really mean?
Answer: Sarcasm! I just discovered it - it's SO cool.

Subject: best songs
okay I agree that stephen is obviously musically the best song they
have. maybe I say that cus I'm a fan of jazz... lyrically, well I think
evaporated gets left out often because it's the last song on WAEA,
pretty powerful when ya think about it. julliane's got a certain adam
sandler quality to it. hah, I'm expecting about a million "I HATE YOU"
posts for this one, but ummm brick's got some good lyrics too. no matter
how many celine dion listeners like it. blah I can't decide. go with
evaporated.
okay
musically - stephen
lyrically - evaporated

Subject: Re: Magical Armchair Digest V1 #924
Being this is my first time posting, I'm not sure what to say. Anyway, I just
scored some awesome tickets at the Giants Stadium show June 7th. Although,
standing outside in the rain in 40 degree weather with a 0 degree wind chill
factor at 8 AM all by myself, I wasn't thrilled with the idea that I had to
pay $40.75 a ticket...But, there are certain sacrifices we all must make for
the things we love...I was curious, however, if anyone else on this list got
tickets to the same show and would E-mail me privately...I don't want to take
up anymore space so I'll end this now...Thanks...

Hi all fivers!
I mail you now because I created a "Poll" section on my web-site.
That's why i beg you to go there and fill the form and just answer a few
questions about BFF. I think we could have great surprises when we see
the results.
Check it at: http://www.mygale.org/10/drpyser in the "BFF poll"
section.
I'll publish the results in very soon, so, stay tuned for more in very
soon !
Bye and thank you in advance,
Guillaume, the french BFF fan ; )

hey people, i just dropped 40 dollars (too much if you ask me) on a two cd set
of ben folds five, a bootleg cd, on the cover it says "ben fold five" and
there are lots of.. typos. i guess. anyway, these were recorded in tokyo,
japan on 5-20-97 and 5-21.. i don't know if these dates are hard to come by or
what, but i'm interested in trading copies for other bootlegs, imports..
whatever. here is the general playlist (the setlists are mostly alike for both
nights):
best imitation of myself, one angry dwarf, kate, selfless, emaline (listed on
cd as "Unknown song"), philosophy, brick, SLNIT, smoke, for all the pretty
people, jackson cannery (jacson connery on here), fair, sports and wine, dr.
pyser, BOWCCL, kane-kaese (japanese SFTD), mitchell lane (with september 67),
julianne, and underground.. soundboard quality, although sometimes it gets a
little spotty. he talks about kate sometimes and darren does a lot of drum
stuff.. its pretty good. e-mail me privately if you are interested. By the
way, what happened to the guy who was making the compilation of all their tv
appearances??? i want a copy!!
Thanks,
Celine
