Those BBC tracks are great! The performances
are marvelous. Thank you England! Does anyone
know how to convert these real audio files into
.mp3s so i can take them with me? 6 tracks of the
VF in session at the BBC:

Color Me Once on NPR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just a quick note: I’ve noticed the opening of
“Color Me Once” (the Femmes’ contribution to “The Crow”
soundtrack — great song, great opening) play several
times as interstitial music on various NPR shows. Monday,
I think it was in All Things Considered. —

“BLISTER IN THE SUN” is the latest music track for Mitsubushi

the featured background music in the new ad campaign for the Mitsubishi
all wheel drive “Overlander”. Media includes TV, Radio, Cinema, in-flight,
dealer showrooms, tradeshows, telephone on hold and website. The
campaign will run for 12 months nationally commencing February 2003

Got My Mind Set on You
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Has anyone heard the Femmes version of
“Got my mind set on you” I’d love to hear it.
I have not seen the song listed in any of the
promo material for tribute album. Also, I can’t
believe the Femmes were not asked to be part of
the Ramones tribute album. I would have loved to hear
them cover one of their tunes.

Sounds fishy to me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found this quote from Gordon on the internet.
I thought it was amusing and figured I would share
it with everyone. I found it at discord.com
<http://www.ams.ubc.ca/citr/discorder/index.htm>
they also have a great interview with eddie izzard
if anybody knows who he is. ?It was a very unpleasant
experience, but not in the way you might think. It
was a very different unpleasant experience, because to
keep the fish from stinking and rotting they had been
frozen, and putting your arms down inside the fish was
like packing your arm solid with something that had
been frozen. And when your arm?s in a fish there?s no
place for it to move. And the fish were heavy. So it was
a feeling of having your whole arm cut off. It wasn?t
just slimy and stinky, it was, ?I?m having my arm cut
off!? It was very unpleasant. And also the teeth were
very sharp. And a little stub on one of the fish of
Victor?s arms pricked him in his arm and it became
infected. We have a theory that he got brain fever from
it and hasn?t been the same since.? ?Violent Femmes?
Gordon Gano on having to wear fish for the back cover
of The Blind Leading The Naked.

Please… please…please
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey Pat n’ American Music – The Femmes are getting
tons of play on MTV right now. Sadly it isn’t for a
video, though. The song “Please Do Not Go” is being
used in a Virgin Mobile ad right now, which features
people in their underwear sneaking out of bedrooms
and has something to do with spring break. Not a
great ad. But every time I hear Gordon’s voice
(and one of their most playful songs) coming from
my tv, I get a big grin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, I just missed out on the first 2 shows in Sydney because I
didn’t know you were coming to town. Managed to get tix to the
added shows, but still totally bummed. Please put me on your
email list so this NEVER happens again. Thanks.

Life is an Adventure

Anybody ever seen a movie called Fox Hunt? Life is an adventure is in it!
I saw it yesterday on my college cable channel. I didn’t remember ever
hearing about it before.

Hi,
I have been a HUGE Violent Femmes fan since I was 8 years old and heard my
older sisters playing your first album— the biggest shame is I’ve never seen VF
live! I live in the horrible state of South Carolina and I missed them when they
were in Myrtle Beach a few years ago. I was wondering if anyone knew if they would
be coming anywhere in the southeast in the not so distant future—I would gladly travel 5
hours to see them—so I hope I can soon!

A HUGE FAN—
Rene’
