Subject: Lyrics

In a message dated 98-08-29 21:02:22 EDT, you write:

<< like a granna nicha hacha if you get my shit
 Yo god damn that's some fucking SHIT! >>

i always thought it was "thats some funky shit"...but i could be wrong.

does anyone else find the harmonies in "best imitation" extremely underrated?

Subject: FAvorite song?

Well I didnt know we had started this topic, but I'll go ahead and give mine
just for something to do - Selfless, Cold and Composed is gorgeous...and it
absolutely fits how I feel about a certain person. As far as non-studio album
stuff right now its Air and She Dont Use Jelly...both have some AWESOME
harmonies...Also Emmaline (Any piano version - I just dont dig the guitar
version...)
SUPERDAVE

Subject: [none]

just wanted to say that the dj who did the net50 on jjj yesterday 
(justin wilkins I think his name is) is obviously an even bigger jerk 
than I thought. 
After SFTD was played on the net50 (around #4 or 5 I think) he says 
something like, "well i guess voters will be 'dumping' that song soon, 
hopefully".  
Well I was speechless for a few seconds (hard to beleive eh!) and then 
addressed some rude remarks to the radio.
Frankly I think the git should keep his opinions to himself.

just thought you'd all like to know that so that you can proclaim master 
wilkins as a git in your prayers before bedtime.

cheers

I just got back from two weeks o.s. and found umpteen MA's... it has
been an enlightening couple of months but I just couldn't be bothered
wading thru it any more.  I am no longer interested in trades, there
are other Aussies with the JJJ tape if you wanted it though.

From: lonegunwoman@juno.com (Leigh B Cummings) 
Subject: BF5 Poster

I've heard about the incredible kindness and generosity of BF5
fans....and I'm hoping that someone will provide me with some poster
information.  Upstate New York is bone-dry in this category, even though
the boys have been here quite a few times and everyone seems to love
them.  Apparently the poster stores spend more time with their Johnathan
Taylor Thomas merchandise to care much.....if anyone can give me a hand,
it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Subject: The Best Songs by BF5, anyone agree?

I have been thinking of my three favorite Ben Folds Five songs, but I had to
throw in one more.
So here are my FOUR favorite songs by BF5 and why: (lemme know if you agree
with me)

Song For The Dumped	because it changes every time they play it
Underground				I consider this to be the other first place song, because it's
just that good
Jackson Cannery			that "Great Ceasar's Ghost..." line just grabbed me
Julianne					ever since I heard it with bottles, it was a favorite

Does anyone else think Dan from FANatic looks a lot like Darren??  Or 
has this been covered already?  Anyway I noticed the resembalence (sp?)

Hey everyone,

Ever since I heard "Emaline" for the first time on VH1's Hard Rock Live, 
I've been hooked.  It's so beautiful.  I love it.  So much so that I'm 
changing my e-mail address to:

Emaline_@hotmail.com

So, please write to that address from now on instead of 
Starr547@hotmail.com, thanks.

Neeta

I went to about 4 different stores looking for this YM "Special Edition", and
I can't find it anywhere.  The only YM magazine I see out on the racks right
now is the October issue with Mase on the cover.  If there's any more info
anyone can give on this issue, I'd appreciate it.
