"Nine years," said DJ David Silver as
Brandon Walsh drove away in the Beverly Hills nightscape earlier
this month. "that's a long time for a group to hang out. High school,
college, the real world. Death, drugs, depression, raging hormones,
puberty. You name it, we suffered through it all. Still are."

Subject: army single in australia
hello everyone
the army single was on the shelves today in Australia (everywhere, even
HMV had about 6 million copies of it), despite the fact that its release
date is tomorrow. i was lucky enough to be shopping, and i came across
it in a cd store and i sort of made a little shrieking noise, and i was
really excited.
anyway, i put up the lyrics and stuff for the army single, here at
http://members.xoom.com/DrPyser265/bf5/bffindex.html
click on the link that says something like click here to see the stuff
about the army single.
i tried to put up the cover art, but my stupid scanner doesn't want to
cooperate with me and i can't be bothered making it work, so maybe
someone else can get that done.
pure coincidence, but last easter sunday was the day i brought my first
bff single, and here it is easter sunday again and i've brought another.
i'd like to keep up that tradition.
Crystal

australian release date for tuborm? and do we get that limited edition
video with it? i read sonewhere that the australian release has a bonus
disc too? i don't know, i'm kinda tired and i could be getting this all
mixed up. someone straighten it out.
oh yeah, and i recently discovered that they might be giants recorded a
live at the wireless show for triple j in australia, in 1997 on their
factory showroom tour. does anyone have a tape of this? if you do,

<< Most of what's for sale is promotional material that the sellers received
FOR FREE. My husband, Mark, manages a record store and we get all kinds of
stuff from labels. He's very good about snagging BFF material because I'm
such a huge fan. >>
Ahh, nothing like the law of supply and demand at work. While you are correct
that most of the people do get promo items like the T&R disc for free, not
everyone can get 'em. Not everyone has a husband who manages a record store.
When it comes right down to it, you're lucky, and, if the rest of us want
some of the promo stuff, we're going to have to pay for it, and in some
cases, this may mean top dollar. Yeah it sucks, I know, but I want a copy of
that disc just as much as anyone else. But if someone came along and offered
you $500 for a copy of your T&R disc, Mikell, wouldn't you sell it too? I
know I would, so I understand why people eBay such promo items.

Subject: Will the real Reinhold Messner please stand up
I'm on Spring Break, which explains excessive posting. (Teachers look
forward to break MORE than the students do. Believe me.) So here goes-
Judi wrote regarding the guys not knowing about the REAL Reinhold
Messner: "i'm sorry, i just don't buy this at all. how on earth did
they come up
with the name of the album without knowing the guy really existed? not
to
be rude, but i can't begin to believe they just MADE THE NAME UP. ;)
that's like saying they would name a cd "whitney houston, LIVE!" and
would be surprised by the existence of a real whitney houston."
Normally I don't respond, but couldn't resist. You have a valid point,
and I'd be suspicious, too, however you just have to listen to the
interview disc (and read the CMJ article, for that matter). Reinhold
Messner was a name that one of Darren's friends came up with in high
school to use for fake IDs. How he got it, nobody knows, though Darren
says that it sounds like something that one of his friends would know
about. Robert refers to RM as "the patron saint of underage drinking."
You have to hear their responses when the interviewer (on Feb. 9) asks
them if they know who the real RM is. (He found it doing a web search.)
They bullshit a lot, generally, but this is genuine. It's hysterical.
You can almost hear the Sony lawyers in the background screaming, "Find
this guy, NOW!"
On the liner notes, Ben writes "ABOUT THE TITLE":
"....at any rate, we'd love to tell you we're just fucking cool and knew
what we were doing, but alas, the credit goes to our cosmic collaborator
on this album, coincidence. thanks to reinhold messner for being a hero,
and now a good sport."
