OK, people. Tomorrow’s my birthday and I’m in a pissy mood because I
have a headache, because Eisenhower was prez when I was born, and
because nobody puts butter on my nose anymore. boo hoo hoo. Ok, maybe
only Cheryl gets that last one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come to IL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you know if the Femmes are coming to Illinois anytime soon? I
figured with all of the tour dates in Wisconsin we have to be next. I
saw them when they were in Peoria, IL (where I live) in 1995 I think.
Let me know if you hear anything soon.

Post-Concert Withdrawal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am just wondering if there is anyone else that has had this problem
that i experienced after my last VF show. Well first off I managed to
get there right when the gates where opened so i got a front row
position. Well after the concert i had the bad head-ache, sore legs,
and a ringing in my ears. I am just wondering tif this is some form
of concert withdrawal. Like you get after a drug time. Well I don’t
know. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and
is there help.

Femmes Song Coincidence?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Nightmares” and “Bad Dream.” Two great Femmes songs, one from the 3
album and one from ROCK!!!!! Their titles mean the same thing. Their
running times are both 3:31. Am I the only one who has noticed this?

I have that compilation. I also got it in a second hand store for about
$8. It’s not that great. You really wouldn’t be able to tell that it
was a live performance. It sounds exactly like the “She went to Germany”
on Rock!!!!!. If you really want it go ahead and pick it up. The other
recordings are live sounding but there really aren’t any other bands
that I’m into on there so I can’t tell you if it’s any good.

>does anyone else think that the femmes should cover some beach boys
>songs in concert?
Hey, if David Lee Roth can do it, WHY NOT THE FEMMES?!?!?!? I’d like
to hear them do “Help Me Rhonda”. Yeah, I can just hear Brian doing
the baritone harmony part. Yeah. Cool. Or maybe um, “Long Tall
Texas”, but that wasn’t a Beach Boys song. Um.

Gee, I wonder why no record companies are in a hurry to release it 😉

-Pat. Says: Sigh. Now M you know that’s not how it is. Several companies
have expressed interest; it’s just a matter of picking the
right one, or self-releasing. I know some people have been
less than thrilled with the album as a whole, but you all
admit that there are at least a few very good songs on it.
It certainly deserves release. When I think of all the
truly bad albums which have been released over the years,
which have by the way received raves from critics…
Gumball’s Super Tasty sets off pink neon lights in my head
every time. I bought it on the recommendation of a critic
in a magazine I highly respect. He said it was the album
of the year. So I ran out and bought it and then ran back
even faster to return it. It was worse than shit. It was
like festering swollen roadkill rolled in shit with a
bit of piss and snot thrown in to boot. And THIS merited
a release! Freak Magnet is far, far better than that, and
I personally can’t wait to get my hands on a legal CD.
