American Music Hall of Fame RE: Pan-Generation Listening Compilation Rock Question Rerelease of Rock!!!! World Without Mercy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Apology and NEW DATE!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sorry for the long wait, folks. I got suckered into putting in longer hours at work, plus everybody here got very sick; some of us even got pneumonia. But the big factor was that despite my loud protestations to the contrary, I was losing faith. But now it appears that those of you over 21 who live in Michigan, and maybe Deana, can usher in the new year with the Violent Femmes and some of their special friends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ American Music Hall of Fame ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To jog your memories, these are more people who have subscribed to American Music since I took it over three years ago. If your name appears on this list, drop us a line if you have the time, and I will TRY to put out issues more frequently. Thanks for hanging around so long: jraymond justinf Kae422 kahal_buffy kangus1 Katey911 kathanas kathc katsis kcut kgriffin kimberly_annin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Pan-Generation Listening ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a response to djek from the last issue... there are still some college freshmen who know who the Femmes are, who love them, and who have seen them in concert eight times... don't give up hope quite yet... and i know some people back at my high school who know and love them as well. Maybe your freshmen haven't been fortunate enough to have been exposed to the Femmes in their youth (lots of people do live deprived childhoods, you know). instead of thinking of it as a chore, why not think that you're the chosen one - the one who gets to enlighten freshmen to one of our nation's treasures, our beloved Femmes. Also, while I'm rambling, "hi" Amber!! What rumors have you been hearing?? how's school? ok, that's enough from me... back to writing a paper. *sigh* rob=) rhc75a ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Compilation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Would any Compilation distributor PLEASE get ahold of me? And thanks to every one who put there valuable time into it. opkutech ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rock Question ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just wanted to know if anyone knows if there is two different versions of the Rock album, and if so what is the difference? I was on CDnow.com and saw that they had a listing for "Rock" released in 2000 by a label called Cold Front. They also had for sale the 1995 version released in Australia by Mushroom records. The 2000 version was selling for 11.99 while the version that I have was listed at 22.49 (which is about what I paid for it at a record store). Matt m.bromley ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rerelease of Rock!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hi there! i have no idea if this has been posted yet, but I found it quite interesting...Today at work I was doing my normal order processing and noticed ROCK!!!!!! quite a few times, so I checked it out and sure enough it is being released next Tues. (Oct. 31st) here in the US on the indie label Cold Front. I was surprised, so I just thought I'd let everyone know. oh yeah, it's pretty cheap (list price is only $12.99) later, Ryan rcbarbato ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ World Without Mercy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just came upon this song, and realized I had never heard it. It's World Without Mercy wich appearantly was only released as a bonus track on the cassette release of Blind Leading the Naked. And it was written by Brian and Victor. Any idea if it was realeased anywhere else and whether it is possible to get it?
