TO REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THIS MAILING LIST
   Send an e-mail message to:
          armchair-request@maillist.il.fontys.nl
with the word
          unsubscribe
in the message body. Please DO NOT POST UNSUBSCRIBE REQUESTS TO THE LIST
ITSELF! If you are having trouble, send mail to
          owner-armchair@maillist.il.fontys.nl
and I will try to help you. To change your address, first unsub yourself from
your old address, then subscribe using your new account.

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR {SUMMER | EVER}!!
   If the above statement applies to you, be sure to unsubscribe from
the Armchair if you will not have access to your e-mail account over the
summer. Otherwise, your mailbox will fill up and the system administrator
at your school will be one angry dwarf...
   Accordingly, very soon I will begin purging the mailing list of any
address that bounces for any reason (e.g., too many hops, mailbox full,
no route to host), not just 'user unknown'. If you find yourself
unsubscribed, this is probably the reason.

THANKS A THOUSAND
   With the passage of 1,000 issues of the Armchair I'd like to thank
everyone for their contributions to the success of the list. We have a great
group of fans and the band is very appreciative of your support.

Hi!
 I know that EVERYONE is gonna be posting about this song, b/c it just 
came out today. I'm sorry if this lacks originality, but oh well!
 I just wanted to drop a quick line, and say that this is a great song. 
It is very different from BF5's other stuff. I can't think of one song 
to compare it to really. Maybe Eddie Walker.
 One last thing, the version of "Air" on The Godzilla soundtrack was 
recorded in my favorite city; Atlanta. Just thought I'd share that.

       does it sing like the hymns of a 1000 years   
               or is it just pop emotion   
          and if it ever was there and it left   
            does it mean it was never true   
              and to exist it must elude   
        is that why i think these things of you"

Hey guys! As stupid as this sounds, I had no idea that the "Song For The
Dumped" video was going to be on TV.  I don't know how it got past me when I
read all my armchairs.  Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew if Mtv would
repeat the episode of 120  minutes? I really want to see the video.  So, if
you've got any info, please e-mail me.  Thanks!!

Hello again! I have never heard of this Sessions at West 54 that keeps coming
up on the Armchair.  Is it a TV show? Radio show? Please fill me in.  Also, is
it out in California? Thanks for your help!

Subject: Best BF5 video

<<Tell me, was "Song For The Dumped" the best BFF video or was it the
best BFF video ever!>>
It was a great video. So original, and it completely surpassed my 
expectations for the video.. But as for the best.. errr, "Uncle Walter" 
caused me to laugh my little butt off, and "One Angry Dwarf and 200"(not 
100, 200 damnit!)"solemn faces" was so awesome. I loved the whole 
concept of the hole in the ground, and being able to stick your head 
through, and the hole was on the ground where the band was playing. So, 
I dunno..
