Winona Rumor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Has anyone heard anything about a possible Femmes show at Winona
University in Minnesota?

Wayne State Clarification
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey everyone…
I just called the number for Wayne State, and I have a clarification.
Apparently, only students can *procure* the tickets, but once a student
has a ticket, s/he can do anything s/he likes with it. In other words,
how can I get ahold of a Wayne State student?!?!? I looked all over the
official school web page, but I couldn’t find any listing of student
home pages or anything. Does anyone have any info about this? I’m
still so mad I had to miss the Femmes last time they were in Iowa…I
would definitely drive all the way to Nebraska to see
them……………….

I don’t think that’s realistically possible. The 9:30 club is a few
blocks from the U Street-Cardoza Metro stop, but Metro stops running
at midnight, and since the doors don’t open for the show until 9PM, the
the Femmes may not even have *started* by midnight, let alone finished.
You just about *have* to drive there.

RE: Max Dunn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>Does anyone know of any titles or where I can get ahold of some Max
>Dunn Poetry?
I was wondering the same thing myself a few months ago, because ‘I
Danced’ is my second fave song off of Rock!!!!! (my first fave is ‘Sweet
Worlds of Angels’). Anyway, I went digging over a period of 3 weeks
through several places. I went to 3 damn big book stores, and they had
nothing by Dunn in stock or in their catalogues. So then I went on the
net, and found absolutley zero on Dunn. He wasn’t even listed in this
giant poets index site I found, or in any of the five encyclopedias I
checked. So then I went to my English teacher (she use to teach college
English). She had never heard of Dunn or his poem. So after all of this
I have formulated this conclusion: Dunn probably never did too much
writing (since there’s nothing out there about him or by him), and ‘I
Danced Before I had two feet’ was probably one of the few pieces he
ever wrote to be published. It probably caught Gordan’s eye when he was
reading some obscure poetry anthology or something. It’s a shame if this
is true, because I would like to read some more by Dunn.

RE: Phantom Tribute Album
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Got the chance to look at old issues, and here’s the info on that
‘tribute album’: it is not a tribute album. It is a soundtrack for the
movie ‘Hitting the Ground’. Gordon wrote the songs for this soundtrack,
and some great musicians recorded them. It should be coming out on
Mercury Records, sometime this year, but I see nothing about it on the
Mercury homepage.

New Album Please
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
for some strange reason i was under the impression that bands make
albums. i don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but that’s what i thought. i
also thought that they had almost done last march. that was a long time
ago. by the way, are they gay? just kidding. any new album info will be
much appreciated.
love and fine malt liquer,
SEBASTIAN
-Pat. Says: I’m not positive about this, but it’s been said by many,
including the band, that they have an unfortunate history
of being bound by record companies which don’t give them
the proper respect. That’s why ROCK! was not released by an
American company. I’d guess that Interscope (or whichever)
wants one thing from them, and the band wants to do another.
Thus the delay. This struggle for artistic freedom is a
common complaint among many, if not most, bands. That’s why
there’s so many indie labels, which allow the artists their
freedom. If there weren’t, we’d be stuck with the mega
companies, and we’d probably still be listening to classic
rock and disco.
