Here's what my cousin Pamela said about it: <> thenewkid ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Crowds..Eyes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ << The thing that really bothered me, was that during Good Feeling, a soft, sensitive and expressive song, the crowd was louder then the Femmes. This really made me upset. I could not believe that these people would disrespect the band this much. All they wanted to do was mosh and crowd surf. I would also wonder if anyone else has experienced this same frustration with the crowd? >> all the time. i remember a couple times i saw the femmes and the crowd starting getting very upset when they only play instruments for a long time during black girls. once i was at a femmes show that was seated, everyone was standing up but after the femmes had been playing their instruments for awhile they all got huffy and sat down...i felt that was kind of annoying. << sounds neat..i like eyes...any art with eyes in it is worth looking at! That is going to be my saying for the year. kara carrot is suffering from american music lagg.....i still have your red piece of leggo candy but killer penny died >> eyes are very cool...i have solar eclipses in mine or atleast that's what my friends say. i was christmas shopping and i saw some leggo candy, but i did not buy it for some reason, you should eat it that stuff is good. i lost my half of a penny awhile ago i am very distraught about it. -kara ChewVitC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Solo Efforts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As a response to the listing of solo recordings from the Dec. 4 issue... Guy also sometimes plays with a band I know nothing about, The Us Project (It may be US Project, I don't know)... I don't know if he's done any recording with this group, but I've seen him play live with them. Maybe it's something to check into..? rob=) coons ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Solo Efforts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here are some more solo items: Gordon Gano: Sixteen Horsepower: "Sackcloth 'n' Ashes" - fiddle Rebecca Blasband: "Rapt" - guitar Victor DeLorenzo: "peter corey sent me" "Pancake Day" Gordon Gano/ Brian Ritchie Glenn Gano: "Unfinished" That's all I can think of to add right now. LilBoek ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Monterey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i have a question, i'd love for the femmes to come play near me, but it seems that they're only playing places that are miles away. if i wanted them to play somewhere arould albany and i contacted that monterey peninsula artists, would i have to front the money or something for them to play the gig, or is it just a suggestion box where i can request a place for a show to be played?? BuRnEr7744 --Brandy -Pat. Says: Only people who are prepared to pay for a show should call Monterey Peninsula Artists. The Violent Femmes only play at venues to which they have been invited. If you want them to play the Albany area, you need to find a venue which is willing to book them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Freak Magnet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hey guys, I've only gotten to see the femmes play once, but i've been a fan since 1985. I hope that they come to texas again sometime soon! I got a promo copy of the new CD (yeah! collectors item!) and i'm wondering if anyone has heard anything about the actual release since they parted company with interscope records...... i'm glad that there is a website like this one for femmenites........ scott -flying dutchman- flyingdutchguy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
