COMPILATION LIST

If you want a copy of the compilation video, email me and a distributer,
and I’ll put your name here. When you get your video, email me again,
and I’ll take your name off. That way we can track how smoothly this
is all going. And please – when you get your copy, remember to thank
the distributer and Deana (ddearry) for putting it
all together. I cannot overstress how much time, money, and effort she
put into this.

DISTRIBUTER LIST

Please follow the instructions carefully, and if your name is on the
compilation wanted list, please ask me to remove it as soon as you get
your copy. If you do get a gen 2, please consider making a few copies
yourself.

pwnordic – (Glenn) Canadian distribution only. Send a new
video that will hold 6 hours and $5 postage. Give
him time, because he’s only working with one VCR
right now.

gineryc- (Eric) Send a blank video, along with a postage
paid padded mailer. But definitely don’t send any
$, not even for postage, just make sure your
padded envelope has enough postage to cover it
being mailed back to you.

nflhwb – (Harry) UK and Europe distribution
only. This has been converted.

MonMcM – (Monica) Pay for the tapes through paypal or money order
for $6.00. NO PERSONAL CHECKS!

Phoenix, AZ 85012

j.clutterbuck – (Anna) New Zealand distribution. Give
her time to recover from surgery, and
we’ll get more details at that time.
This has been converted.

mlarson – (Melanie) Depending on the cost of tapes [when I
can get them on SALE :)] it should only run about
$6 per video. I estimate a tape to cost about $3
and shipping UPS ground is only $3. For Wisconsin
residents I can ship via Spee-Dee service and it’ll
be free to me since the place I work at uses that a
lot too. I would prefer payment through paypal or
money orders. Checks are ok, but will have to wait
a week to clear. If you are willing to risk
sending cash, that is up to you and I won’t be
responsible for lost mail. No P.O. Box please.

Reed, Harvey, TMBG Join Gano

Femmes frontman to release guest-heavy solo record

Violent Femmes frontman Gordan Gano will release his first solo album,
Hitting the Ground, early next year on Instinct Records, the New York
City indie that first signed Moby.
Gano has enlisted a number of high-profile guests to make appearances
on “Hitting the Ground,” including Lou Reed, PJ Harvey, They Might Be
Giants and Frank Black.

Gano’s new recording follows a period of busy productivity with the
Femmes. After releasing New Times in 1994, the group was fairly quiet,
recording Rock!!!!! in 1998, though the album didn’t see release in
the U.S. until two years later. In 1999, the band released Viva
Wisconsin, their first live album, which they quickly followed up with
last year’s studio effort, Freak Magnet.

I have been getting some responses now for sending tapes out and I have
one request for everyone. Please do not have me ship to P.O. Boxes if
at all possible. UPS will not deliver to them and if I have to use USPS
it will cost more and I want to keep it cheap for everyone.

Thanks!

Hi Pat,
I just got a returned check from my bank for a tape that the person
already received and thanked me for. (LYNDON69) I was also
charged a check return fee. I have had 3 people pay with paypal and I
sent out their tapes the next day. I will not accept any more personal
checks! If a person is not already signed up for paypal they can
receive a credit of $5.00 for signing up. Money orders are okay.

MonMcM – (Monica) Pay for the tapes through paypal (sign up
and get $5.00 credit) or money order for $6.00. NO PERSONAL CHECKS!

All I have to say is: Brian Ritchie rocks! Deana and I caught his show
in New York on Tuesday with Spencer P. Jones. What an amazing band.
Their drummer was Billy from Television. Probably one of my top 5 all
time concert experiences. They had such a full, tight sound which
amazes me since they had so little time to get it together. The
audience was totally blown away.
If they play anywhere near you, don’t miss it.
