Policy Statement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a long time. If you know that
you will be dropping your account, please let me know about it. My
policy is that I carry your subscription until I get three issues in a
row bounced back to me. Then you’re outta here. Full mailbox returns I
will keep for about a month. If you are going away for awhile, please
let me know, so that I can temporarily suspend your subscription. Make
sure when you do this you tell me all email addresses you use, because
the one you’re writing from might not be the same one I have on the
subscriber list.
Also, you know these issues come out pretty regularly. If you don’t get
an issue, go ahead and write me. I’ll be glad to resend.
Oh, and if you for any reason want to unsub from this list, please ask
nicely. There’s no reason to be an asshole about it.
Last thing: Check out your ad in the classifieds. If you want to change
or delete in any way, let me know.
-Pat.

Info Needed on Shows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does anybody know if either the Baltimore or Washington, D.C. shows are
sold out, or close to being sold out? I still haven’t been able to
round up people to come with me, so I haven’t got the tickets yet. So
if anybody knows about either show’s ticket situation – please let me
know. Thanks.

Since I am at work on a beautiful Sunday afternoon instead of hiking or
just about anything else more fun than this I decided to master the art
of time suckage (to quote Mr. Hawke) and spend some time surfing the
net! I came across some interviews/concert reviews/pics I had not seen
before and I thought , maybe, some of ya’ll might like to check ’em out
too!

RE: Bad and Rejoice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The new song “Bad” (and I really want a boot of it) is from Romans seven
in the Bible where Paul is talking about sin. It’s a really good
reference to their music. I still haven’t heard Rejoice that I know of,
but if there is a boot out there somewhere I would like to know.
Thank you.

RE: Dancing Baby
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow. I have to say that that is the coolest thing I’ve seen in my entire
life. That baby can move. I think that possibly it might go better to
the music of Digeriblues (from Rock!!!). Rockin, nevertheless. I’d like
to see that turned into a screensaver. Everyone who hasn’t seen that
dancin baby, go there!

MTV’s 120 Minutes Live
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can’t remember if anyone mentioned this a while ago or not, but…
The Femmes are featured on a new MTV Compilation disc entitled “120
Minutes Live”
The Femmes’ “Kiss Off” from 1993 is on the disc, along with songs from
Oasis, Morphine, Weezer, They Might Be Giants, Bad Religion, PJ Harvey,
Bjork, Radiohead, the Verve Pipe and more.
it’s a really good cd-
defintiely worth picking up while we wait for the new Femmes album,
still….
