Canadian Distributer Compilation Compilation Compilation Update RE: Furniture Concert KROQ Update RE: KROQ, ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VF Fascination With Japan? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I live in Japan, and hang out in this little bar where I have converted some locals in Violent Femmes fans, and they want to know why the Femmes make references to Japan in a couple of their songs? First in Add It Up, and later in Life is an Adventure? I am just wondering. If anyone knows please let me know. thanks, dvasas ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Canadian Distributer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi I am distributing the video in Canada. Send me a new video that will hold 6 hours and $5 postage and I will send you one. Its a great video. You will enjoy it. I'd love help distributing it also as I only have one VCR now so it is hard to tape. Let me know if interested. Glenn pwnordic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Compilation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm one of the quiet members on this list ;) Although I do appreciate the time and effort you put into putting this out for us -- I totally dig it. If you could, put me down for 2 copies of that compilation, and I'll forward the funds to whom ever needs them, I'll send a 20 or whatever just for gratitude sake. Thanks a million -Jason grosefx -Pat. Says: We can't really make money off this, just cost of postage and a blank tape. I think we agreed a boot tape would be a nice token of gratitude :) I've put you down for 2 copies wanted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Compilation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would love to recieve a copy of the video too... once I get my dubbing on the VCR's working again, I too can be a distributor, but no gurantees. The one VCR is at the shop awaiting an estimate. Thanks, Zac SkaManFoo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Compilation Update ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wednesday is my next day off. I will be searching through back AM issues to find the names of the people who had originally agreed to distribute, and therefore as far as I know have 1st gen copies of this compilation video. I will also list what exactly is on it. Glenn has been the only one periodically reminding people he is a distributer. I believe there's one in Arizona, one on the east coast somewhere, one in England, and one in Australia. And there's also Eric in Maine willing to do some distribution (see last issue), but he may not have the complete video. I know there's a lot of you who want this vid, and I'll try my best to finally get it to you. Those of you who agreed to distribute: Get the ball rolling! contact a few people on the wish list and get a few copies out, Please. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Furniture Concert ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yeah I have to agree that the furniture store concert would seem odd. I can't imagine any company wanting the violent femmes to play to sell their merchandise. I would shop at this furniture store that is for sure if it is true. It would only work if the store had funky stuff I think. Cause the femmes are quirky. A store that would appeal to the consumer who wants something a little off the wall. I have trouble seeing a store like value city furniture which sells traditional items having the femmes play at an event hosted by them. But who knows I have seen some odd crap in my time. I went to a concert several years ago in Nashville and Fleetwood Mac and Kiss played. Fleetwood Mac kicked ass. But thought it was a little cooky to see those two bands on the same bill. :shrugs: -Rudykitten ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KROQ Update ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am in listening range of KROQ and they are not playing the femmes outside of the "Flashback Lunch." When they do, its Blister, Add it up, Kiss Off and occasionally AM or Prove my Love. Keep up the requests for Sleepwalkin' and I will let the group know if it ever sees the light of day. -SCPGAMEDIA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: KROQ, ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ok a few things... #1 the way i see it we don't even have to go to the site everytime we want to request a song on kroq. the email is just requests i'm assuming you just say " i want to request.." in the mail. so i think thats a little easier than going through the site everytime. sorry if everyone else already figured this out. #2 everytime i go to a cd store i always check out what femmes cds they have, just cause i'm curious to see what different places have. it finally paid off. I was in Media Play in Hamilton Ohio (i think) this week and i found Rock!!!!! import cd. I've always had this on tape cause i was too lazy and poor to order the cd off the internet. so i never really listened to it, cause tapes are a hassle. and it was only $12... i'm not sure but think thats cheaper than on the site. ok thats it Joel TeamEnos ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
