Viva Femmes! Viva Wisconsin RE: Sonic Session Show Femmes on WHFS Selling The Gold + Dublin concert ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks a million to Eirikur for the sign! I love it so much, I think I'll use it again ! I can not find the AUS Violent Femmes shows listed on TM-AUS. If anyone knows of another OZ online ticket agent, please let me know. If you know how to get tickets for these two shows, please let me know. Just out of idle curiosity, are there any subscribers who are employed as journalists? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Viva Wisconsin? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hey all! Just wondering... when does "viva wisconsin" come out in cd stores... cuz on their website it says :::: We are releasing our "Viva Wisconsin" live album in December. what date can i buy it on??? anyone know? thanks! amber Smashkin -Pat. Says: Read on... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Viva Femmes! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After all the Femmes have been through (and we the fans as well!) it's finally official - go to CDNOW.com and you can order Viva Wisconsin, to be delivered Nov. 23! You can also listen to some 30 second MPEG's of about half the tracks. REJOICE! By the way, "Beyond Records" is apparently a subsidiary of BMG. Joshua heyzeus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Viva Wisconsin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just thought I'd let everybody know that 'Viva Wisconsin' is already listed at http://www.cdnow.com for advanced ordering. Their price is $12.99, but of course you have to pay shipping. Advance ordering may be a good idea though in order to show early interest in the album and help prevent an event like with 'Freak Magnet.' Just a thought.... 1djek3 dkubiak ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Sonic Session Show ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ what y100 usually does with sonic session shows is admit a limited number of people who win tickets on the radio, and then broadcast the show over the airwaves-so those of us in the philadelphia area can try to find out when it will be and record it-at least i'm willing to try- y100 also releases cds every once in awhile with like one song from each sonic session artist-i have a friend who works at y100-i'll see him tuesday and ask him when this is all happening. adam adamgrickis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Femmes on WHFS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just wanted to let you and everyone else know of the chance to see the Femmes at the WHFS (radio station in Washington, DC) "Just Passing Through." You can go to the website (www.whfs.com) and register to win free passes. I did! -Emily msclone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Selling The Gold + Dublin concert ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello everybody, Do anybody knows the "Selling The Gold" CD from 1996 (Elliott Murphy)? What I found (on a commercial site) about people who made it: Elliott Murphy (vocals, acoustic, electric guitars & 12-string electric guitars, slide guitar, harp, recorder, piano); Bruce Springsteen (vocals); Brian Ritchie (acoustic guitar, bass); Kevin Mulligan (electric, pedal steel & electric 12-string guitars, mandolin, background vocals); Sonny Landreth (electric slide guitar); Djoum (E-bow); Frank Deruyter, Serge Plume, Carlo Mertens (horns); Bertrand Bonello (piano, electric piano, organ, omnichord); Chucho Merchan (acoustic & electric basses); Andy Newmark (drums); Luis Jardim (percussion, congas, tambourine); Guy Hoffman (percussion); Gordon Gano, B.J. Scott, Mieke Delanghe, Patrick Riguelle (background vocals). The Violent Femmes: Brian Ritchie (acoustic guitar, bass); Guy Hoffman (percussion); Gordon Gano (background vocals). Recorded at I.C.P. Studios, Brussels, Belgium. All songs written by Elliott Murphy. It seems that the Femmes like Brussels (where I live) to record (this CD and the one of Louise Attaque that Gordon produced) but not to do concerts :) I'm going to the Irish one this time. If someone plans to be there, don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks, Alexandre adobly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
