Re: Femmes on Compilation Disc RE: Cover the Beach Boys RE: Impatiently Waiting for Freak Magnet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK, people. Tomorrow's my birthday and I'm in a pissy mood because I have a headache, because Eisenhower was prez when I was born, and because nobody puts butter on my nose anymore. boo hoo hoo. Ok, maybe only Cheryl gets that last one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Come to IL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do you know if the Femmes are coming to Illinois anytime soon? I figured with all of the tour dates in Wisconsin we have to be next. I saw them when they were in Peoria, IL (where I live) in 1995 I think. Let me know if you hear anything soon. Crystal cat71 -Pat. Says: I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Post-Concert Withdrawal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am just wondering if there is anyone else that has had this problem that i experienced after my last VF show. Well first off I managed to get there right when the gates where opened so i got a front row position. Well after the concert i had the bad head-ache, sore legs, and a ringing in my ears. I am just wondering tif this is some form of concert withdrawal. Like you get after a drug time. Well I don't know. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and is there help. i_eimaj i_eimaj ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Femmes Song Coincidence? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Nightmares" and "Bad Dream." Two great Femmes songs, one from the 3 album and one from ROCK!!!!! Their titles mean the same thing. Their running times are both 3:31. Am I the only one who has noticed this? chrishatch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Re: Femmes on Compilation Disc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have that compilation. I also got it in a second hand store for about $8. It's not that great. You really wouldn't be able to tell that it was a live performance. It sounds exactly like the "She went to Germany" on Rock!!!!!. If you really want it go ahead and pick it up. The other recordings are live sounding but there really aren't any other bands that I'm into on there so I can't tell you if it's any good. Kathryn Kittricken PS Hey I made it through an entire post without making one smart ass remark! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Cover the Beach Boys ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >does anyone else think that the femmes should cover some beach boys >songs in concert? Hey, if David Lee Roth can do it, WHY NOT THE FEMMES?!?!?!? I'd like to hear them do "Help Me Rhonda". Yeah, I can just hear Brian doing the baritone harmony part. Yeah. Cool. Or maybe um, "Long Tall Texas", but that wasn't a Beach Boys song. Um. Nick mypen15 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Impatiently Waiting for Freak Magnet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <> Gee, I wonder why no record companies are in a hurry to release it ;) Oellablue -Pat. Says: Sigh. Now M you know that's not how it is. Several companies have expressed interest; it's just a matter of picking the right one, or self-releasing. I know some people have been less than thrilled with the album as a whole, but you all admit that there are at least a few very good songs on it. It certainly deserves release. When I think of all the truly bad albums which have been released over the years, which have by the way received raves from critics... Gumball's Super Tasty sets off pink neon lights in my head every time. I bought it on the recommendation of a critic in a magazine I highly respect. He said it was the album of the year. So I ran out and bought it and then ran back even faster to return it. It was worse than shit. It was like festering swollen roadkill rolled in shit with a bit of piss and snot thrown in to boot. And THIS merited a release! Freak Magnet is far, far better than that, and I personally can't wait to get my hands on a legal CD. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
