Oh, Heather, I completely understand your canadian plight about the
astronomical prices attatched to those cds. here in australia we pay
the same (ok, but we don't have gst or pst....yet). only now hmv has
reduced Whatever to 19.95. yeah, after everyone already has the damn
cd....

Subject: smoke
hey there!
lauren asked about smoke. you may
already know this, but in the FAQ,
it just says:
"I co-wrote this song with someone
else, so i couldn't want to speak
for her, but what it means to me
is that you can't escape from your
memories of your past".
i believe ben co-wrote smoke with
anna goodman.
from JANET =)

Subject: Air transcription
Hey, this is my first post. Just wanted to say that the other day I went into
Camelot Music store at the mall to look for sheet music and I noticed they had
a book for piano of all the songs on the Godzilla Soundtrack. I instantly
picked it up to look to see if Air was in it, and it was. The transcription
is horrible though, almost nothing like what he really plays. Just thought
this was interesting.

I remember from one of the Morning Becomes eclectic interviews that Ben had in
fact married Kate. The same Kate that the crush song was written about. She had
moved out to California and when BFF came to CA for the tour they met up again.
Their first date was when Ben took her to his first performance at 101.9 They
married some time after that. I'm not sure where or if this is archived somewhere
but I know someone had it in .ram format on their site.

Subject: S/T Songbook
Ok, I know this is highly unlikely - BUT - I'll ask anyway - does anyone
have the FIRST (S/T) songbook and doesn't really want it or doesn't play
it and it just sits there in your place looking dead ... If so, I will
be happy to buy if from you. Please if ANYone would like to sell the
first songbook please e-mail me and tell me how much.
The more I think about it the more guiltly I feel for not buying it when
it was available. Thanks.

Subject: FOP Review in 9x
I just wanted to let you guys in the Richmond, C'ville, & Harrisonburg
VA area know that I've got a review of FOP in the Feb. issue of 9x (Nine
Times) available FREE at all Plan 9 locations. It's the one with Sebadoh
on the cover. Go figure.
Also, I'll be reviewing the Gladhand's upcoming "Flutter and Wow" in the
March issue. The Gladhands are a Chapel Hill band and many of you
old-time BFFers know that Robert Sledge played bass on much of their '97
release "la di da." It's AWESOME! I've got their first album "From Here
to Obscurity" blaring out of my computer speakers as we speak. Check out
their website at www.gladhands.com
(To Ginger Nance- I'm on the gladlist.....we'll talk....)
Here's hoping that BFF make their way down the eastcoast to DC or
central Virginia this spring!!!!!!!!!!!!

Subject: Amhurst Show....
I need info on the Amhurst show. Is it open to non-amhurst people? when do
tickets go on sale? where will I be able to get them? please email me
privately if you know the answers to any of these questions. This is one of
the many reasons why i think a Fan Club is a good idea.
