~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Testing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What, is everyone on vacation???
Sorry to everyone about the testing over the weekend. Didn’t accomplish
much. For several months now, every time an issue goes out, I get a
message from prodigy which says “sexycia not a known user”
Well, I don’t have a sexycia on my subscriber list, and prodigy won’t
tell me if that person has any other email addys. SO if you at one time
used an alternate email address of sexycia, please stop forwarding your
mail there. If that person is no longer on this list, but you know who
it is, please tell me, because I’m sick of hearing from prodigy, and
I’m sick of their lack of support in rectifying this situation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RE: Freak Magnet for $31???!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> DO NOT SPEND $31 on this album, it is not worth it.

OK, I don’t want to go into a detailed response because I realized a lot
of people have not heard FM yet. I don’t believe in ruining albums
before they come out for people who want it to be a surprise. But, I
think I felt sort of similar when I first heard FM. I didn’t like it all
that much at first, but I kept listening…and it sunk in…and I really
really like it now. All I Want, Happiness Is, and Yes Oh Yes are
brilliant songs in my opinion, and I’m Bad, Freak Magnet, Rejoice and be
Happy, and several others are really really great. I think you just need
to give it a chance and not have a lot of specific expectations going in.

P.S. For anybody who has a FM promo and hasn’t listened to “A Story” on
headphones…I am doing it right now and it is extremely freaky.

RE: Op Ivy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>Operation Ivy rule so much!!!!

i’ve been listening to op ivy for many years now…too bad they were
only together from 87-89…..does anybody know what happened to the
lead singer?? some missionary work…that is what i heard??? i know
this is a femmes list but i never get to chat op ivy…hihi pat=) i
don’t consider them straight edge to the true fucked up meaning of the
word…i think bands like judge and minor threat are that…..
fugazi is another good band
adios

-Kyle_Souza

-Pat. Says: OK, enough op ivy for this list. G’head and discuss it
amongst yourselves. (You knew I’d say that, didn’t you Kyle)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chord Archive Improvements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve made some additions to the Violent Femmes guitar archive:

25 July, 1998: Added guitar tabs for I Saw You In The Crowd, Sweet
Worlds of Angels, America Is. Added guitar solo for Kiss Off. Added bass
for Johnny, Thanksgiving, Agamemnon, Breakin’ Up, Flamingo Baby, He
Likes Me.

If anyone’s got new tabs or improvements/additions/corrections to
existing tabs, I’d appreciate them. Send them to both myself and
Kyle_Souza, who is also maintaining a version of the
chord archive, if possible.

Danke,

Amber & the WVU show!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello all. I know some of this should be done privately but I’ve
lost some of the email addy’s and some of you I don’t know but Amber
does! :o)
I talked to Amber (amberlace) last night and she asked me to put
in a quick note that she is still unable to check her email. She’s
sorry if you’ve emailed her & haven’t received a response & James, John,
Nick, Daniel, Bobby V & Pat – she says Hi! If you need to reach her
email me & I’ll pass it along. She also said to tell everyone she is
definitely going to the WVU show!! I know several of you have already
emailed me that you’re thinking of going – Just DO IT!
Bobby V – Amber hopes you can make it too – email me. Jessica, Jesse &
Addie any chance you guys can go? We will be leaving from Knoxville TN
early on 8/25 so if anyone lives along our way (I-81 through VA & I-79
through WV) & needs a lift we’d be happy to have you join us!
