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, OR BY REPLYING TO THIS MESSAGE! 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.
Whenever there is a problem with the list, please check the list archive
address on the web (http://oeonline.com/bff/list) for updates.
COMMERCIAL SPAM
Occasionally, despite the safeguards, an item of commercial spam gets
into the Digest. When it does, please ignore it - I'll try to track down
the perpetrator.
BINARIES
Another reminder: Please do not post binary files (JPEGs, etc) to the
Armchair. They are generally unreadable (because the list server strips
out the header information that is necessary for most mail readers to
decode them), and inflate the digest to a huge size. Last week's binary
post ran that issue to 89k (the usual maximum is 20k) and caused the
issue to bounce from about 50 subscribers' e-mail accounts that could
not handle a message that large.
If you wish to share a picture with the listmembership, please either
(a) post a URL where the picture can be seen, or (b) offer to e-mail the
picture to those who would like to see it.

Subject: Dean & Scotty Folds
Hello -
Someone asked who these folks are. I went to a show in Philly a few
months back and we sang Happy Birthday to Ben's mother. Ben said that
his mother's name is Scotty. So I imaging Dean is Ben's father.

Subject: BFF Covering BNL
Chris cummins wrote about BFF covering BNL a few days back (yes, I read my
armchairs in bulk now, 7-8 at a time) and while I think such covers could
be fun (as I am a big fan of both BFF and BNL), I really don't think it
would be "a challenge" for the boys to cover BNL.
Don't get me wrong- BNL is a great live band with talented
songwriters and tight harmonies, but their musicianship is nowhere near
that of Ben Folds Five, particularly in the drumming department. I hang
out with a lot of musicians, and I have pulled a few BFF virgins who
happen to be drummers along to see BFF and they get speechless watching
Darren play. Particularly at the DOOK University show, which other than
being surrounded by tons of Duke students was a decent performance,
Darren's playing really shone as not only timekeeping but a major, almost
melodic force in the music.
Well, I'm going to stop licking Darren's boots here and get back
to work, but I just wanted to make the point that these guys are
tremendous musicians, and that most covers will be cake.
How they picked you up and you kept...falling down (dow(down)n....)

Subject: See Ben in Squirrel video
On a visit to the Ultimate Band List site today, I noticed a link to a video
preview of the new Squirrel Nut Zippers video, featuring Ben!
Here's the address of the UBL:
http://www.ultimatebandlist.com/
and here's the address of the page with the video on it.
http://www.mammoth.com/special/snz/suits_28.ram
It's hilarious! Ben comes in at the very end (wearing an orange suit) and
says, "Excuse me, can I still be served?"
Check it out!
