Videos Wanted Videos Wanted Cover Song RE: Peter Jest RE: Vid question and other stuff ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SETLIST FOR S2K?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey guys- I know one of you reviewed the Summerfest 2000 show and included all the songs they played. However, i didn't remember the e-mail address of that person. I'd love to get the setlist for that show please so if anyone knows it, feel free to e-mail me. thanks a lot! Rock on! ~amber Smashkin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Videos Wanted ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i gota question. when the femmes were on Hard rock live after the cure, they had the "inside track" on the femmes. heres my question: they showd clips of videos from songs like Kiss Off and Nightmares, is there anywhere to get these videos? thanks -dean Wzrdean90 -Pat. Says: Whoever the distributers are of the compilation video Deana put together have copies of these videos. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Videos Wanted ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ does anyone know how i can get a copy of the femmes new videos for sleep walking and all i want ??? please respond. thank you sooo much. rob m. wilson RMWilson17 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover Song ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everytime I find a new webside or program for finding music, I will do a search for the Femmes. I don't think I've ever found more than 5 of there songs at one place, but just the other day I found "Violent Femmes - Sedated Ramones Cover". At first I didn't think it was real and still not sure, cause the singer sounds alot like Gordon and has abit of his whiny signature. Anyone know about the Ramones Cover Song, Sedated? Or anyother cover song they have done? Ronnie Thweatt ruok -Pat. Says: I downloaded this from Napster, and don't believe it is the VF. I also have not heard about a Ramones Tribute album. Napster also had what was supposed to be the Violent Femmes singing "Video Killed the Radio Star". I don't think so. I think what is happening is people have these mp3's but don't know who's singing them, and take a stab at who it is. I'd look into it more, but I have to pack for a weekend in Connecticut. Somebody who isn't so busy could check into this and get back to us. Wish me luck on the dreaded 5 hour drive, and pray I don't run into any mosquitoes on my way through New York! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Peter Jest ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ << I know the Femmes have a tune called Peter Jest that was on one of those impossible to find singles, but i don't think I'll ever hear it! >> I bought the single with Peter Jest on it. I was actually disappointed when I got it because it is purely instrumental and remined me a lot of Vancouver (which I don't formally recognize as a Violent Femmes tune because I like it very little). But, on that same single is a more blues oriented version of Didgeriblues that makes it worth the buy. I just kept checking Ebay and it shows up every once in a long while.. Keep your eyes open. PS: It's the Breakin' Up 4-track single. LilBoek ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Vid question and other stuff ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey guys! I've got a few little things I've been meaning to post . First, for Rob (and everyone else) you can see part of the All I Want Video online through a link on MTV's website: http://www.mtv.com/sendme.tin?page=http://www.mtv.com/mtv/bands_az/v/ violent_femmes/index.html Second, are any of you familiar with the digital club network? Here's what they say about themselves, "The Digital Club Network (http://www.digitalclubnetwork.com) is the largest webcaster of live music in the world, continuously streaming and archiving performances by emerging and established artists from the world's top music venues. New shows are presented each night, with rebroadcasts and on-demand archives available throughout the day, providing fans with access to previously unavailable live performances 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. " So anyway - I was looking for an archived show for Bright Eyes and stumbled onto the El Destroyo set from the Femmes 2nd night at the 9:30 club in DC (4/18/00). So I'm thinking if they were broadcasting the opening band - the technology and the people were there - why didn't they broadcast the Femmes set??? Should we assume the Femmes wouldn't allow it? Am I the only one frustrated with the Femmes use of current technology - or rather the lack of use? The website was cool - back in 1994! Give me some flash and keep it updated - yeah? Argh!! Ok - back to the subject at hand - the archived El Destroyo set on DCN - Brian played drums with them both nights so some of you might enjoy watching it. You won't be able to see the wooden shoes Brian was wearing that night but it's cool none the less. Oh and if you hear a girl scream "Nice Butt!" I swear it was Danica - not me! ;o) Third thing - and this one's for the serious fans- would someone please check out Johnny Cash's "Orange Blossom Special" and get back to me? I'm wonderin' if it's just me... Thanks for your support!
