Please don't do this... if someone could be nice and setup a B+P or
something, that would be cool, but please don't get into making money off
of the music...

Subject: SFTD
Hey...can anyone help me? I've been wracking my brains all day trying to find
out the Japanese lyrics for SFTD..so if anyone knows where I can find them on
the web, could you let me know please? You can either email me at
Emmaline20@aol.com or Santonan@student.umass.edu Thanks. Also...have anyone
else's armchairs been coming with a red background lately or is my AOL just
acting up?

Subject: !!SUPERDRAG!!
Get Superdrag's latest album, 'Head trip in every key'.
They're a good band.
The cd is grouse.
The cover is groovy.
You'll like it.
cheers,
P
PS: Andy Wallace just seems to crop up everywhere, doesn't he? As well
as mixing WEAEA and Grace (Jeff Buckley) he ALSO mixed two tracks for
Superdrag on this album. What a star.
PPS: did I mention that you should perhaps buy Superdrag's latest album,
'Head trip in every key'? Just checking.

Subject: BFF
"wow, last night on 105.1 'the edge' (a local trendy station here in
good
'ol detroit area..... i think it is based in ann arbor) ben folds
five
won 'shreek of the week.'"
Actually 105.1 is based in Northfield...not that anyone cares, but
since I had to drive the hour from Ann Arbor to Northfield because
one of their idiot phone guys thought I was supposed to, and then
almost missed seeing Ben up close and personal 'cos of their mistake
...I'm just pretty damn aware of their location.
Maybe the reason 105.1 is so into BFF is 'cos they got their special
little "Edge Session" with them and all...I would suppose djs would
be really into guys they meet just like the rest of us, 'specially
when
they're so cool in person like Ben 'n the boyz are...
Looking forward to Ben w/ Beck, and of course Ben in Grand Rapids
if they'll let my under-age ass in after I drive a few hours to get
there...
Live good.

Subject: VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR MP3 NOW AVAILABLE
OK….Here's the deal. I made an MP3 of BFF's version of Video Killed the Radio
Star….Because AOL sucks…..the sound quality isn't great. They only give you
like 3 megs of webspace so I couldn't make it GREAT quality. If anyone out
there has a few megs of space they'd like to donate to host a better quality
file…let me know. But I figured for those of you who haven't heard
it…..Well…You figure it out. There's also a link on the page to my BFF bootleg
trading page…..I have a lot of GREAT stuff…ALL of it good quality…..I have a
few more things to add to it but the list is pretty good even now. The URL is:

Subject: Kiss my ass
Wow, yesterday I became the proud owner of my second BFF shirt (now I
have the Farewell 81 and the Kiss my ass) but the part that amazed me is
that I found it in a store. This is a new one for me being I ordered my
other one. I mean I had a bad enough time find my 3 import singles and
NBP the day it came out, then to find the only BFF shirt in the store.
Needless to say I was happy and I just had to share my happiness.
I can't wait to hear "Air" and with The Wallflowers well done cover of
David Bowie's Heroes I'm guessing the soundtrack will be the only plus
side to the horrid looking movie. Kay I'm done rambling. =]
Five Bands Other Then BFF (in no real order)
1. Stabbing Westward
2. POE
3. Fleetwood Mac
4. Dave Matthews Band
5. David Bowie

Subject: Chicago Armchairites
To Those of Ya'll Who Live in Chicago:
Could someone please email me a list of other bands who are playing Q101's
Jamfest? Does anyone know how long sets usually are at Jamfest? I'm in school
in Boston and am trying to figure out if I should try to rearrange my schedule
to come home for this thing to see BFF, and I want to know if they're just
gonna play SFTD and Brick and then get off the stage...
Thanks,
Katy
