Viva Wisconsin !!! New Album from Victor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Private Sonic Show ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There will be a Femmes sonic session concert in Phila. soon. You can only score tickets by being the 13th caller and so far I have knocked three people over rushing for the phone to call, cut off two drivers trying to pull over to call, jumped out of the shower naked to get to the phone and generally put everyone I know on notice that I MUST go to this show. So far, no luck. They haven't even announced when it is yet and I can't even get through on the Y-100 phone lines to ask them. I'm going to keep trying. If I find out more info, I'll let you know. marylee Rubaiyat -Pat. Says: I checked the y-100 web page (I think it's http://www.y-100.com or something like it) and found out that Sonic Studios is a recording studio in Philly. Apparently, y-100 occasionally has private shows here, and only the lucky few are able to go. The date of this show is not listed on the homepage. Those of you in the Philly area should listen to the radio show for your chance to win. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: the Mancow Show ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >-Pat. Says: No, it was right. The Violent Femmes were on the Mancow > show this morning. They played Add it Up. That's it. I > know, because I listened to it online myself, suffering > through the entire shock jock schtick just to hear that > one song. Actually, the Femmes opened with Add It Up, then played a rather slowish version of Blister, and closed with a fine rendition of Kiss Off. The Femmes were not playing with Guy on drums. It was an interesting morning, to say the least, but there's nothing like starting off the day a few feet away from the Femmes. -- Brian Teutsch <http://www.cs.nwu.edu/~brian/> b-teutsch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Viva Wisconsin !!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, I recently got a copy on ebay of the new Femmes cd 'Viva Wisconsin' and I think that this is the Femmes at their best. Their live renditions of new and old songs with a raw acoustic sound is the best Femmes that I've heard for a while. I love it !!!! Glenn pwnordic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Viva Wisconsin !!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ffrenet was kind enough to send me a digital postcard of the cover of the soon to be released "Viva Wisconsin", on Cooking Vinyl. You too can view the album, send a postcard, and listen to a sound byte by going to http://www.cookingvinyl.com Thanks, Francois! -Pat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Album from Victor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Pat and everybody, I don't konw if it's on the list that i saw a news about a new album by Victor, but I did some further investigation... I e-mailed him and he answered me right away!!!! So here is the info. The record is called, "The Blessed Faustina" and Victor should have copies available on the 22nd of November. The record will be released through his own label: bFrecordings. Victor said"I think the record is miles beyond anything I've done in the past and I can't wait to turn it loose on the free world!!!!!!!!!" I'll keep in touch with him to know further info about the album, like if it's going to be distributed by any record company... So this is the last journalism piece I've done in a while...
