Subject: Total Request
Hey,
Guess what people, I don't think there's a chance in hell, even if we
did all request 1AD, that it would get aired. The winning videos get
like like 15,000 votes, I don't think there are 15,000 people who know
that that video was ever on. Sorry to break it to you.
5 Bands eh?
Dave Matthews Band
Cool For August (listening to them at liveconcerts right now!)
Big Head Todd and The Monsters
Toad the Wet Sprocket
Primus
Later people,
Dustin

Ronald definitely wasn't in the original line-up. The orginal line-up
was Wayne and Mark Coyne and Michael Ivins. Ronald joined the band at about
album #6. But anyways, check out the limited edition "Brainville"
single it has a cover of Raindrops from a KCRW in-studio performance.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, The F'Lips will have a new album
out this summer.
later...

How would you like to work with a company that has been super-profitable

Subject: the truth about Kenny G
it is no wonder that no one knows where he is from. kenny g is an android and
thus was neither conceived nor born anywhere. he just appeared one day. and
when we chop him up, like that guy from alien(s)? his innards will also be
clam chowder (the white).
no i am not homicidal. i just have good taste in music.
emily
ben folds five content: um, they're like my favorite band. that brick song
would almost make me cry, if only i like knew what it meant. can anyone tell
me?
THAT WAS VERBAL IRONY FOR ALL YOU LITERAL THINKERS OUT THERE

Okay, okay, since nobody is going to organize anything, how about Monday we
can all vote for ONE ANGRY DWARF AND 200 SOLEMN FACES! Okay, everyone, at
least in the U.S., watch MTV Monday night, the show is on at 9:30, but at
8:00 they will tell you the number to call in and the address for which you
can e-mail them at. To actually get the video on the show(Oh, I can't wait
to bump one of those bands off) We each have to call twice and e-mail them
from ALL of our different e-mail addresses! Come on guys, let's do it.
Monday's the day. It will be so cool to have their video on there.
MONDAY!!!
