I presume all of the winners have been picked, and with only 70 spots, i wouldn't expect to get someone's place :-) LastExit ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Subject: Re: ROCK!!!!! for 8-16-96 Hi. I would like to know if any of you have or know where I can get boot legs. If any of you do can you please e-mail me at Tracy9239. Thank you. I would also like to ask if any of you know when the Violent Femmes will be touring in the Tri-State area again. I missed the last time they came around, but am dying to see them live. Thanks again. Bye bye, Becky ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Subject: Re: ROCK!!!!! for 8-16-96 In a message dated 96-08-17 10:42:32 EDT, you write: > > I'm not sure if this is the right address to right to to get a message posted on ROCK, but here goes: I am a college student in Wisconsin and our school had the Femmes come and play last year and it was the only time I had heard them live and they knocked my socks off!! I am the only Femmes' lover in my group o' friends and I keep trying to convert others but without much luck. Anyway I get to see the Gufs in Sheboygan next weekend -- FREE!! -- and also Victor Delorenzo so I am so friggin' psyched. Also, the only Femmes music I have is "Add it Up" (of course) and some bootleg tape made from a bootleg that I can never find on CD anywhere, it's got Gone Daddy Gone and Blister and Kiss Off and all sorts that I haven't found on CD. But of course I don't have the names of the songs so it sucks but anyway, I just bought "Why Do Birds Sing?" and at first was very disappointed but it has grown on me after 2x. Hey Nonny Nonny just sticks in your head. And it is very cool that Gordon's wife went to Carroll College (my school) so at their concert he talked about sneaking around campus etc. and it was groovy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Subject: Re: ROCK!!!!! for 8-16-96 i'm going to school in montreal, quebec, canada next year. if anyone knows of the femmes being that way please tell me. thanks, "special favors come in 31 flavors" witkind ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: "WARDG" Subject: ROCK!! stuff Hello fellow Femmes fans! Does anyone out there have Brian Ritchie's album "I See A Noise" ? There is a song on it I have been trying to get ahold of - "Religion Ruined My Life" for quite some time. The only station I used to hear it on (a Catholic college radio station!) got it as a demo but one of the DJs swiped it. The album is out of production, but if anyone has the CD and could make me a copy, let me know. Maybe we can trade something for it. The only thing I have that not everybody else has (I hope) is a bootleg recording of the Femmes in a bar in Pittsburgh. I think it was in '83 or '84. I'll dig up the tracklist if anyone is interested... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Subject: violent femmes I was wondering if someone would let me know what kind of songs are on the new album "Rock". I am thinking about purchasing it. If anyone knows if the Femmes will be performing in Pittsburgh anytime soon, let me know.
