Well, i finally did it--I finally got a hold of the ROCK!!! cd. I had to travel all the way to delaware, from PA, to get it too! well, actually i was on vacation in Maryland and just happened to stop off at a cool little store in delaware. and they just happened to have it in stock. I absolutely love it. i am slowly collecting all the femmes CDs--so far i have Rock!!, Add it Up, Violent Femmes, New Times, Why do Birds Sing?, and Hallowed Ground. I cant decide which i like the best--they all rock, of course. Yet there is still a little piece of my life thats missing--um, let me think could it maybe be the fact that i have yet to see them in concert. I mean you know how some people dont go to their senior proms and then when they are like 50 they regret it, well i regret not going to the y100 shindig last may--although it was not MY fault, it was my stupid parents, but anyway, i bet when I am like 50 i will still feel like part of my life is missing. Unless of course i see them before then. so everyone out there, pray that the femmes decide to come and play in the Philadelphia area. oh yeah one last thing---if anyone knows where or how i can get a hold of some (or just one would make me happy) femmes bootlegs, e-mail me at thanks Jen Brown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Robert Goodwin Subject: ROCK track list The track list on ROCK is as follows: 1. Living a Lie 2. Tonight 3. Bad Dream 4. I Danced 5. Thanksgiving (No Way Out) 6. Dahmer is Dead 7. Life is an Adventure 8. She Went to Germany 9. I Wanna See You Again 10. Didgerblues 11. Death Drugs 12. Sweet World of Angels All the songs are previously unreleased and I have no idea why the album was only released in Europe and Australia. I suspect that it might be because New Times came out just shortly before it and many record companies are reluctant to release 2 albums by the same artist within at least a year. (hence prince's ongoing battle with Warner and Beck releasing 3 albums on 3 labels) It wouldn't surprise me if we see this album on the racks over here shortly. rob -- Robert Goodwin Nature is by and large to be found out of doors, a location where, it cannot be argued, there are never enough comfortable chairs. -- Fran Leibowitz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Subject: Re: ROCK!!!!! for 8-27-96 I know this one may go unanswered, but I caught the femmes show down here in Atlanta a few years ago, and it was, of course, great. But they haven't been back since, and I guess the big question on everyone else's mind is "When are they going to come to my town?" If anyone knows their touring schedule, please post it on ROCK!!!!! I'm waiting patiently for them to return...And to whoever was looking for the Brian Ritchie album, some small independant record stores can special order it for you! It may cost a couple bucks extra, but its worth it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Bec Hamadock Subject: Brian Ritchie -- "Religion Ruined My Life" > From: "WARDG" > Subject: ROCK!! stuff > > Hello fellow Femmes fans!

Remember me? I am the ex-list moderator of ROCK!!!!! Thanks to everyone for sticking with James while i was away and now that i have handed the list over to him permanantly. And especially thanks to James for taking over. My trip was good but i'm glad to be back. Ireland is a scary place when you're stuck in the middle of a warzone!!! So i'll look forward to hearing more from the list now that i'm looking at it from a different point of view. To Tracy9239 who said: >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. Search for bootlegs on the web and have a look through the respnses you get, there should be one page which has lists in alphabetical order of bootlegs by band. like this: A B C D E F G H I J K L M... ETC... Click on V and then chose Violent Femmes and you should get some links to femmes boots. I think Film Noir is the best Violent Femmes boot. To Raylene who said: >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. Rock is brilliant, it would have to be obne of the best albums from the Femmes. It's different, kinda catchy pop music. Buy it. You'll love it!!!! ...That sounded like a home shopping network add or somethikng. heheh :-) Bye for now everyone. Your ex-list moderator.

Hello. I really want to get Rock!!!! but it hasn't been released in Canada yet. Does anybody know if it will be coming here? Also, if anyone knows of the Femmes coming to Canada in the Montreal or Toronto area, PLEASE let me know, i'm dying to see them live!

I just want to tell you that I made Home Coming Court and when I walk out at coronation, they play a song of my choice. So, I picked "Life is an Adventure." It should be pretty good. I hope a lot of people like the song, cause' then the femmes good word would be spread. Also, I bought Pancake Day by Victor. All my friends say it sounds like bad eighties music, but I like it. Also, I ordered "I hear a noise" by Brian, and I should have that in about a week. It's no longer made, but apparently you can still order it in tape version. Got to go, bye. Matt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: "WARDG" Subject: Covers? I took a closer look/listen at a bootleg tape of a live recording where the Femmes play a couple of songs I haven't heard before or since: "Fashionable" and "I ain't gonna wait for you". I'm not sure of the actual titles of the songs, but if I had to name them from the lyrics, that's what it'd be. Are these covers or their own stuff? Does anyone still need the ROCK!! CD? For some reason the place I got mine from ordered two. They just called and said the second one is in, and I don't need another one. If anyone is interested I can pick it up and mail it to you. It was kinda pricey. (I paid $29 for mine.) But I'm sure we can work something out. Thanks to Dave for the tip on Brian's CD! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Subject: Femmes & St. Louis It seems to me that the Violent Femmes have a strong connection with St. Louis. For the second time in half a year they are comming to the area, and yes I went to the first one which was March 16, and the second one on September 18 i have tickets that are four rows back. Does anyone know why they come here so much? There aren't really any people who like them.
