Solo VS Whole Group ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you can see, there are European dates listed. If anyone finds more European dates (other than those which appear on Pollstar), please let me know. It'd be a shame if a subscriber missed a show because we never found out about it in time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kutztown Info Needed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can i please have any info at all on the Kutztown show? first of all, is anybody else going, more importantly from around DC, maryland, virginia area. are they really playing with they might be giants, or was that a rumor. how do i get tickets, and is it just a student show. times a tickin, and I want to go. For the love of Bob, please help me. Bobby V. vanallen -Pat. Says: The only information I have is what I posted a few days ago. The VF/TMBG show will be at 8pm on March 11 at the Keystone Arena in Kutztown. General Admission tickets are $22.00, and are available at the Student Union Information Desk at Kutztown University. Tickets may be sold at other places, but there was no information about that at the time. For information, call the Activities Hotline at 610-683-1383. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Indigo Girls Blister ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >hey pat as i was surfing the net last night i found that Blister in >the sun is also on an old LP (live) with a bunch of Indigo Girls >stuff, the album is called Indigos live ep" that neat...i'll have to find that.....i hate that every compilation has blister in the sun or american music...two songs that i don't really like......i do like blister 2000 though..... i found a cd the other that had a jane's addiction tune live and american music on it...i forgot the name Kyle_Souza ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Couple of Things... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey it's been a little while since I've posted so I just have a couple of questions/comments and other such stuff: -My Journalism teacher gave us an assignment. That we had to come up with 20 questions for any person we would like to interview and I chose Gordon Gano. And I was wondering what questions would you guys ask him if you had the oppurtinity to sit down and interview him? -Ok, how many CD's have the Femmes released? I have Rock, NT, The Blind, Self-Titled, Add It Up, Hallowed Ground, 3, ...Birds sing?. I heard they have Used To Be, a Blister 2000 single released in the UK and a ...Birds sing? special tour CD. Where can I get the stuff I do not have? Does anyone know? HELP!!! And what is the Double Birds Sing Tour CD? -And just curiours but what is up with that tape? I heard something about when I first joined the list and I got really excited but I haven't heard anything about since. :( -And "Blister" is being used for the trailer to "Never Been Kissed" with Drew Barrymore. I saw it and I was like "Fuck Ya!" a little too loud in the theatre and got a couple of evil eyes. Well I'm done. -Robert Pouder poudertsg -Pat. Says: For discography info, go to Kathryn's page. It's the Geocities/SunsetStrip/Lounge address listed above. Deana was compiling the tape, but unfortunately had to go away on an extended business trip. I believe it is essentially complete, and so as soon as she gets back and caught up on everything, we'll be able to get the tapes out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Solo VS Whole Group ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been reading all this stuff about gordon making a solo album, and to tell you the truth, it makes me mad. i think making a solo album is time wasted when they could be making an album with the whole band. i know they already have one made that isn't really out yet(Freak magnet) but if they make another one, that could help the record companies realize that they are good. i mean don't get me wrong, if he does come out with one I will definitly buy it but i'd rather see a full band album come out correct me if i'm wrong about all this. i'm not really sure how it works do you need to have a company before you record? Joel TeamEnos -Pat. Says: Most people who have subscribed within the past year were not here when the Hitting the Ground thread originally was posted. If the upcoming release is in fact Hitting the Ground, be aware that it is not a Gano solo, but a Gordon produced, various artists soundtrack. It has been complete and ready for release for at least a year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
