Subject: I have two questions.
Hello everyone! This is my first post, for being a long time member.
Well, I was curious if anyone had the piano notes for the song "Rocky?" That
is a really cool song, and I love the piano playing. If anyone has it, please
e-mail me privately.
Second, I was curious what songs were on "Lounge-a-pa-looza" sung by Ben Folds
Five. Please e-mail me privately, so, this mailing list don't fill up with
lots of the same answers. Thanks a lot for your help.
Dade.

Subject: Beale Street Music Festival
Ok, for those of you that hate brickheads, I was a major fan before December.
I'm 15.
I have a problem. I need to know what time BFF is playing the festival. My
parents won't let me drive to Memphis and back from Jackson Mississippi unless
I'm back by like 9 or 10 o'clock. That takes 3 hours. I fear I'm in big
trouble. I have worked very hard to get to this, this will be my first BFF
concert. It is really important to me if I could find out soon enough to woo
my parents into the idea of coming home later. Maybe I'll clean the entire
house or something. PLEASE HELP

Subject: the way ben sings
Has anyone noticed how Ben sings with Exprssion!!! If you listen to
Best Imitation of Myself(I noticed it first with this song), you'll
hear the unfamiliar sounds of expression in a singers voice. It
really sounds good. A lot of bands/singers these days just put no
expression into their voices, and hearing it makes my day!!!

I know what your going through i spent 6 months looking for my
copy....but I would suggest keep looking in small stores(if your near
dallas apparantly they have a lot)....I paid 50 us for mine and that
was still kinda onthe steep side....there was a bidding war back
awhile on the armchair for this disc and I bid 75 US and still lost (I
wonder how much the winner bid?)....so keep looking you;ll find it
eventually
good luck!

Anyone have the lyrics to Digable Planets' "I'm cool like that"?
E-me if you do. We can't have the Armchair purists getting pissed off about

Subject: JUST RELEASED! 10 Million!!!
IT WAS JUST RELEASED!!
INTRODUCING...MILLIONS VOL. 1A
We took a total of over 92 million email addresses from many of the
touted CD's that are out there (bought them all - some were $300+)!
We added the millions we had in storage to those. When we
combined them all, we had in excess of 100+ million addresses
in one huge file.
We then ran a super "sort/de-dupe" program against this huge list.
It cut the file down to less than 25 million!!! Can you believe that? It
seems that most people that are selling CD's are duping the public
by putting numerous files of addresses in the CD over and over. This
created many duplicate addresses. They also had many program
"generated" email addresses like Compuserve, MCI, ANON's, etc.
This causes a tremendous amount of undeliverables, and for those
that use Stealth programs, clogs up servers quickly with trash, etc.
We then ran a program that contained 1800+ keywords to remove
addresses with vulgarity, profanity, sex-related names, postmaster,
webmaster, flamer, abuse, spam, etc., etc. Also eliminated all .edu,
.mil, .org, .gov, etc. After that list was run against the remaining list,
it reduced it down to near 10 million addresses!
So, you see, our list will save people hundreds of dollars buying all
others that are out there on CD and otherwise. Using ours will be like
using the 100+ million that we started with, but a lot less money and
alot less time!!
We also purchased Cyber-Promos ($995.00) CD. We received it just
prior to finishing production work on the new CD. We had our people
take a random sample of 300,000 addresses from the touted 2.9 that
they advertised. We used a program that allows us to take a random
sample of addresses from any list. We were able to have the program
take every 9th address, thus giving us a 300,000 list of Cyber's email
addresses from top to bottom. We cleaned these, and came up with about
100,000 addresses. These are also mixed in.
We also included a 6+ million "Remove/Flamer" file broke into seperate
files for ease of extracting and adding to your own database of removes.
"You can buy from the REST or you can buy from the BEST. Your choice.
_____________________________
What others are saying:
"I received the CD on Friday evening. Like a kid with a new toy, I
immediately started bulking out using the new email addresses. Over
the course of the weekend, I emailed out over 500,000 emails and I
received less than TWENTY undeliverables!! I am totally satisfied
with my purchase!! Thanks Premier!!"

"This list is worth it's weight in gold!! I sent out 100,000 emails for my
product and received over 55 orders!

Subject: uncle walter's armchair/roundhouse
since the topic is being discussed...
there used to be a show on nickelodeon called roundhouse (did anybody else on
here watch it every week?) a few years ago, and the dad's character had a
mobile armchair that he'd ride around in and chase all the other characters
when he'd get mad. i always just chalked it up to random coincidence, but i
figured i'd share anyway.

Subject: catching up
I have been off the armchair for about a month, so I am a little out of the
loop. I hope I don't ask something that has already been talked about. If
you could humor me a bit I would appreciate it!
What is the deal with all of this touring? I am from Dallas & this will be
the 3rd time they have been here in the last 6 months. I am grateful &
all, but why aren't they releasing anything else besides Brick? I have
noticed some mention about a Kate video. Is that their new single? Come
on with the airplay Dallas! Have any of you going to see shows in their
latest tour heard any new material? I would be very pleased to hear some
new stuff when they come in May!
I apologize in advance if I am wasting anyone's time with old topics!
Thanks,
Katie

Armchairites-
After being inspired by the list of show reviews on Moxy Fruvous
Fruvous pages (http://www.fruvous.com/showinfo.html), I would like to set
up a list of BFF show reviews. If any of you have recently attended a
show, particularly for the spring tour, or have any reviews from old
shows, please email them to me at mcdonpj@wfu.edu.
For big fans of Fruvous, this page seems to be a lot of fun, and I
think the BFF crowd would enjoy a similar resource. Start emailing!
