Re: Violent Ramones
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Howdy folks,
“She Went To Germany” is a Femmes song and a Femmes song only
(unless somebody is covering it). There is no song by that name
attributed to the Ramones, nor is there any Ramones song with the word
“Germany” in it’s title.
By the way- did you know that the debut Ramones album and the
debut Femmes album are (along with Hendrix’s “Are You Experienced?”
and R.E.M.’s “Murmur” and a few others) quite possibly the finest
debut records ever? It’s a well-known fact…… 😉

On to the subject: I personally hate to admit that a
woman may be wrong, but I’d have to tell heyzeus that he
is probably in the unique position of knowing one who
occasionally is mistaken. Only occasionally, mind you. Mark
the date down on your calendar, because it’ll be a long
time before it happens again.

“Don’t Talk About My Music”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>The song went something like IF YOU DONT LIKE
>MY MUSIC THEN TOUGH !

The Femmes wrote that song, I believe, about an article in the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last October talking about how they were old
and washed up and none of their albums from WDBS? on were any good….
I think the first time they played it was on their Wisconsin “Got
Femmes?” tour in late October, just to vent. At the Milwaukee show,
Brian didn’t say the name, but I kind of assumed it to be called “Don’t
Talk About My Music.” Also, I believe the line in question was “You
say the Femmes are old/You say they suck/But if you don’t like my music
/Why don’t you get fucked?”
It’s not on any albums.

RE: Why Can’t I Get Just One T-Shirt?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<< There was a shirt there with
a Japanese cartoon character on it and it said “Why can’t I get just
one fuck?” I really wanted to but it, but I had no money. does anyone
know where I can find it? >>

ive seen that shirt a few times. you can find it at any of their
shows. thats where i’ve seen it at least. ive never seen any femmes
stuff at any stores, even ones that are really neat and have stuff you
wouldnt find most other places. you’d figure differently with living
next to new york city and other neat places…but no. in any case,
yes, you can find that shirt most likely in a corner of any venue that
the femmes might be playing in. good luck 🙂

Hello
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a great set of emails. Can I thank Pat Wary for organising this.

Firstly I’d like to sympathise with Lisa from NZ. The VF’s come very
infrequently to the UK as well. I don’t think they’d come at all if it
weren’t for all the Ozzies and Americans over here. Even when they do
come they play one gig and it sells out weeks in advance and you end up
paying a fortune on the door. Grrrrr. Still it’s better than nothing
I guess.

At the last gig I think I managed to get Gordon’s pleck, and the time
before that I got Brian’s (Which has spent nearly two years in my
wallet). I know Brian’s pick is Brians as it has the VF logo from New
Times on it. Gordon’s is just grey vinyl (0.2mm I think), can anyone
confirm to this anorack whether it is actually his? Brian and the
Roadie were the only other guitar players that night and they both
played bass, so who else would be using a .2mm pick apart from Mr.
Gano?

If anyone wants to swap my red ‘When I’m out walking i strut my stuff’
t-shirt which is Enormous for a small one then email me. i have had
five VF t-shirts. 3 are too big (mistakes in concerts and from the
website) and of the other two, one got stolen. If anyone is a mad
collector of brian’s picks and has a 1991 tour t-shirt with the three
headed guy on it I’d LOVE to swap it for the pick.

They did the groovy lighting effect for Never Tell in London too.

Can I finish by mentioning the incredibly medicinal effects of jumping
up and down and screaming the lyrics at the top of your voice (like a
mad banshee woman) to Blister in the Sun. Cures most ailments (apart
from serious ones, and asthma which it just Exacerbates, and dizzyness,
and pins and needles).

Copy of FM?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve seen some recent posts asking where to get a copy of Freak Magnet
and there hasn’t been much of a response. I was hoping the question
would’ve been answered by now so I wouldn’t have to crawl out from under
my rock. If and when the “real” Freak Magnet comes out I definitely
will purchase a legitimate copy. However, I want to get the promo copy
too because the released version may have different tracks or something
and I wouldn’t want to miss anything. I could probably find one being
auctioned on line but in light of the recent discussion about ebay I
don’t think I’d buy it there.

-Pat. Says: The price of FM on Ebay seems to have decreased lately.
Whether it’s because this is the time of year that a lull
occurs in the online auction houses, or whether those who
would spend big money for it now have it, who knows? At any
rate, check out Ebay from time to time, don’t spend more
than about $30 bucks for it. I know Southland Cd had them;
haven’t checked lately whether they still do. That’s
another place you need to check regularly. Give it time;
I’m sure you’ll find one at the right price. Be warned that
in all likelihood you will be buying a burned copy.
