Yahoo! Clubs New Times Violent Femmes Club Viva Wisconsin Violent Femmes on R'n'R Is Cool! VOTE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Late, Late Show ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just had to write to let everyone know how strange I thought it was seeing the Femmes on a TV late night talk show. I didn't even know that old man Tom Snyder wasn't doing it anymore, instead it's some guy, Craig Kolburn or something. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it, but it was very odd for me. It's too bad there weren't any true fans there to make it more enjoyable for them. That would have been very cool. Also, wanted to say Hi to the girl who put on the big show in Hampton Beach this summer about taking pictures and then none of them came out!! Sorry, but it was a great time!! (from the nice girls in VT) Hi Ron!! See you guys when the Femmes finally come back to New England. Holly hbedard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Femmes on the Late Late Show ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey guys! so, what did you all think about "blister" on the craig kilborn show? wasn't that great??? They sounded good and looked awesome. But what did the rest of you think? I sort of wish they would have played something else, but we all know "blister" is popular with just about everyone. anyway, just wondering if anyone else liked their performance. amber PS- if anyone finds ANYTHING out about the Femmes coming to Wisconsin (they better, seeing as their new album is "viva wisconsin")... please let me know through e-mail.. im hoping somone out there hears something about it. thanks! Smashkin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A True Story of Inspiration and Personal Endurance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well on Fri. night, when i was awaiting the coming of the Femmes on the Late Late Show, i was reclining on my couch, and i was all warm and comfortable, and my mom was sitting on the chair right next to the couch. During the interview part of the show i drifted off. It was about 1:00 in the morning, and i had had a long day, and i already sat though Nash Bridges, the Local News, and David Letterman. And all this after having watched the new James Bond movie. Well while Craig was interviewing his guests, i lay there slumbering, and then my foot was violently shaken, and my mom was yelling, "Quick wake up, they've started playing" And low and behold, there they were playing BITS in thier whinnest voices EVER. And then after they were done i went back to sleep on the couch. Jamie i_eimaj ===== "When ignorance reigns, life is lost" - Zach de la Rocha -Pat. Says: The world is saved by cool moms. Mine unfortunately is 250 miles away. I fell asleep during the guests, with my puppy curled up beside me, and awoke during the last notes of their song...turned the satellite to CBS West... and slept through that, too. Well, the next night my sons and I were invited backstage to meet Smash Mouth, and now my sons are very happy, and absolutely positive that I am a cool mom, because Steve Harwell, the lead singer told them I am, so I guess things even out in the end. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VF on Loveline ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey, The Femmes were on Loveline last night (the radio show not the television show). They played "Blister in the Sun" and "Gone Daddy Gone" from Viva Wisconsin and didn't really talk a whole lot during the calls. I recorded it though. They were on during the 1st hour. And I also recorded their apperance on Flashback Lunch where they preformed "Blister..." "American Music" and an aweome version of "Add It Up." And the interview was pretty cool. The guy who won the trip to Jamacia didn't seem that enthused about it though. Although Flashback Lunch came in OK, Loveline came in fine. The only real tidbit of info is that Freak Magnet is scheduled for Feb. 23. In case no one knew (like I did). If anyone wants copies of these I could do it if they sent me a tape or something. -Pouder rpouder ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FM Release Date? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ do you know the date that "freak magnet" will be released? i think its in feb. but i don't know the date. also, was anyone else other than myself listening to love line (radio show) on nov. 18th? The femmes were on, they played a few tracks off of "viva wisconsin" BladBaTheR -Pat. Says: During the chat session, I think sometime late February was mentioned as the release date (Feb. 22 or 23?). Keep your fingers crossed. And hey, if it is different from the first version, please don't make a million copies of the promo, K? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yahoo! Clubs New Times Violent Femmes Club ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey Everybody! Viva Wisconsin comes out tomorrow! Finally a new Femmes album after a long wait. Call your record store and make sure they are getting it and if they are not complain loudly! Then have everyone one you can con, bribe, or blackmail call and complain also. Speaking of new albums Victor DeLorenzo's new album has come out and I'll let everyone know how it is when mine comes in the mail. For all of you who missed the chat this week it was a good one. Brian said that when Freak Magnet is released it will be nothing like the promo. In other words their will be NEW SONGS!!! Woo Hoo! So hold on to your promo because it is now a big collectors item. Also I have redesigned my site and put up new photos and articles. Tell me what you think.
