What the *&%$?!? Rocks off ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Breaking Femmes News ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I don't know if you have time to get this message out today or tomorrow, but I got an email from a guy named Doug Gordon who says he's the producer of a popular radio program called WHAD' YA KNOW with Michael Feldman. He said the Femmes are going to be on the show and will be performing TOMORROW at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, CA. The show will be broadcast live on the radio in the Sacramento area (a little out of my broadcast range, boo hoo!), but the recorded show will be braodcast on public radio all over the country, on Saturday in most locations. Also, just in case you put out an issue of the newsletter before this Sunday, I'll be at the Santa Cruz show. Six shows in the past 12 months! woo hoo!! --Sandy friday http://www.violentfemmes.net -Pat. Says: I have the poop on this show. Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know Show is out of Wisconsin Public Radio (Fancy that; it's all clear to me now). It travels all over the country, and Public Radio Stations throughout the US broadcast the show at 10-12 am Central Time. Check your local public radio station listings. I think mine has the Shickley Mix at that time. If your Public Radio Station does not broadcast this show, or if you do not live in or near the US, never fear; check out http://www.notmuch.com for info about the livecast. As far as I can figure out, the Sacramento station is KXPR. As for the show itself, it is at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 18. The webpage does not say that the Violent Femmes are appearing; only that this show is in Sacramento on that date. Tix are $30, $20, $15. Call the box office 916-264-5181 Mon-Sat btwn 10 am-5 pm or call BASS at 916-766-2277. I believe however that this show is already sold out, so you're probably SOL. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That's 2 CA dates now. West coast subscribers, please check out your radio stations and entertainment listings. For all I know, there may be more dates. Don't forget the Hard Rock Live show this weekend. Check your TV/VH1 listings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scandinavian Food ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I see the Boys are going to Scandinavia for a tour. I have one word for survival. BRING YOUR OWN FOOD. Spent a month there, became an expert on spitting things out. Breakfast is pickled fish in ketchup, with a side of brown cheese that gives new meaning to bad. Lunch is Kilbasi in a cream sauce and the super is brown. Fish is served with the skin on and of course the Swedish motto is : If you can put it in your mouth you can grind it and out it in a tube for breakfast. The good news is the 50/50 beer is pretty good and you can scrape most of that stuff off the hot dog. Take care, take cookies. With Love Wanda Hexdata Ps Their cows and sheep are mad. (its a long story but trust me on this one) and there hasnt been a chicken past Germany in 300 years One more thing - you have GOT to see the statue park in Oslo then come back and explain it all to us... unless 400 acres of naked people doing Naked things offend you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Compilation in England ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am the person in England with the video compilation and appologise for not contacting you sooner. There are 2 reasons why I did not respond earlier a) I have made arrangements for the video to be transferred from US format to UK format, I gave this to a friend of a friend a few weeks ago but as yet have not had it back and he is proving to be a bit of a pain ( I will once again chase him up on Monday). b) I have just split up from my wife and the time I spend at home has been restricted to a few minutes a week but this will be rectified by next weekend (by the way in case you have not guessed the computer is presently at my wifes residence. I will drop a line to the guy from europe on sunday to put him in the picture and hopefully everything should be sorted by next weekend. Harry NFLHWB ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Age Appropriate?!?!? What the *&%$?!? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <> <> AGE APPROPRIATE MUSIC!?!? Fuzzy wuzzy wuz a woman? Clearly the latter comment was taken out of context - an incredibly condescending context - but surely it was not intended as it appears. Sheesh ... Deana ddearry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rocks off ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some people seem a little upset by Brian's remarks that rock music is mostly for kids and that he doesn't listen to it much any more. I have to agree with him. Apart from the Femmes -- and I love the Femmes -- I don't listen to much rock now. To be honest, a lot of it is pretty superficial and the lyrics are simply crass. As you get older I suppose you look for a little more depth. It's the same with everything -- the music, books, films, television and so on that you enjoyed when you were younger often no longer interest you. It's no bad thing or criticism, it's just life. scrawbzy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
