RE: Hammerstein
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<< ~~~~~~~~~~~
Any word on the tour that was scheduled for Oct 25, 2000 Hammerstein
Ballroom, New York, NY? I was planning on going to this and now don’t
see the tour listed on the Femmes site or on Pollsstar 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 >>
I have tickets for that show, actually they are tickets from the last
show that was supposed to be there I think July 25, 2000. I called
Ticketmaster to ask how to get a refund for the 10/25 show and was told
that when the show is officially canceled, I would receive a credit.
So far, no credit. Could this still be a possibility? If they do this
show, the outpouring of love, devotion and enthusiam from the Femmes
loving population would be enormous.
Come on guys, we miss you all so much!!

Femmes in Mississippi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi,
I am from Starkville, MS and attend Mississippi State University. I
have heard from a few friends that the Femmes are supposed to be
playing at a private party for all students at Millsaps College in
Jackson, MS. According to my friends, only students of Millsaps can
attend. The Femmes played there a couple of years ago and only
students could attend. Has anyone else heard about this?

Femmes’ First 2 Albums Re-released
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Femmes’ first two albums, “Violent Femmes” and “Hallowed Ground,”
are now out of print in the U.S., but not after October, when
WEA/Atlantic/Rhino Records re-releases them. Hopefully they’ll be
remastered with maybe a few bonus tracks thrown in. CDNow says they’ll
be out on Oct. 3, Rhino says Oct. 17.

RE: Punk Music
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have never received much responce from this group, so I just read and
lurk in the background, but I felt compelled to add my thoughts on
“punk” music. I have always considered punk to be more of an attitude
and a style than a type of music. Anyone who is ahead of everyone else,
doing a completely original thing, or just too weird to fit anywhere
else is punk. Mozart was the first punk. People shook their heads at
his music and thought he was a total freak.
I consider the Femmes punk because they are not like anybody else. Try
describing them to someone who has never heard their music. Who do you
say they sound like? They don’t sound like anybody. Try not to
immediately see pink mohawks and safety pins when you think of punk,
and you should be able to see what I mean.
Barb
p.s. My favorite Femmes quote is also from “I Know It’s True…” – “My
mind is so unkind, my mind is so unkind. Keeps me cryin’ all the time.”

Craig Kilborn Again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I have stated in many previous issues, I am a big Craig Kilborn fan.
And now that school has started again I don’t feel like staying up to
watch it, so I tape it and watch it after school. Well today I was
watching last nights (Thurs. 28th) and he was talking about the guests
that were going to be on that night. “Violent Femmes are here tonight”
I was thinking “awsome! its a rerun from when they were on before and
i missed it” wrong… turns out it wasn’t a rerun they were just
on again.. they played Good Feelings it was pretty cool… so I
have it on tape in case we do another compilation video sometime in
the future I can actually add to it… speaking of compilation
videos… I never got one… what do I have to do to finally
get a hold of a copy… I’m sure many others are wondering the same
thing…
Thanks
