I read in the 7-8 rock that the Femmes played Lollapalloza in Toronto last
week. I had heard they were playing a LLP date in Ohio but I didn’t know
about any other dates. Does anyone know if they are playing any other
Lollapalooza shows?

Blister In The Sun is about masturbation. What else could ‘body and
beats, I stain my sheets’ mean?

>1. Who is Dahmer?

Jeffrey Dahmer is a serial killer from Milwaukee, who apparently cut up the body parts and ate some of them and did gross things with the others. He confessed, and was sentenced, and then was killed in jail by a fellow inmate with a broomstick that bashed him upside the head.

>2. What exactly is Blister In The Sun about?? (i have my own theory, but
>i won’t post it yet for fear of embarrassment and ridicule!)

i think its about masturbation. Has that tone.

>3. Does anyone know if any of the Femmes are diagnosed with Bipolar
>Disorder (manic depression)? I’ve been finding out a lot about the
>disorder lately and it’s just struck me how well their music seems to
>”fit” a manic depressive personality…

I have no clue. Post more about it and maybe we can decide together…:

>4. When oh when are they coming to Australia?????

out on the stage in Memphis….. Sounds really funky when played alone!!!

Hey! Am I in the right place to see my message posted in ROCK!? I’ve
been getting the digest for about a month now and am just now trying
the waters. I wish I had known about the VF home page about 5 months
ago, listing the concerts so I could’ve seen them when they were down
this way in March. I didn’t think they’d EVER come to North Carolina
so I gave up any hope of ever seeing them again when I moved here from
Pennsylvania a couple of years ago. Is anyone else out there anywhere
near NC? Enjoying the digest….
