Hey, I'd rather listen to Cherry Bomb anyday. :-) Sure, they're not really singers (they're actresses), but at least they weren't all over the place to the point where they would make me sick. However, every time I stick in that CB tape, the music still sounds fresh. Am I the only one here who enjoys TMDR's solo AND soundtrack music? I hope not. I enjoy his song writing in general even if he doesn't sing the songs he writes. (BTW, if you don't recall who Cherry Bomb is, it's TMDR's protege four-women band featured in "Howard the Duck".) - -Phil ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 May 1997 07:55:17 -0400 (EDT) From: russell Subject: Re: Alloy: T-shirts Year ago I had a shop air brush the cover of the Dolby's Cube EP onto a t-shirt. Then when I saw TMDR in concert, I got him to sign it. After the concert he was signing things, and one young lady did not hae anything paper for him to sign so she asked him to sign his name across her chest. It was fascinating. I never anticapated that type of reaction to TMDR. - -Russell Milliner milliner@iag.net On Thu, 15 May 1997, Melissa R.

I personally would not mind having to pay a yearly "club membership" fee to access the new Tap Room. If others here agree, it may help broaden the scope of our search for new scripts etc. The Tap Room was such an incredible service & introduced me to so many great people. . .I think it's worth paying for. Perhaps several "guest memberships" per year would help those who can't spring for it. . .

The funniest thing of all about the poor Hanson boys is that before I saw the video, I thought it was a girl group! It took me not only watching, but closely examining the video to realise that they were in fact, boys!

Does anyone know if Thomas is coming to the Boston Modern Orchestra Project which I think is this weekend? I heard about the project on the classical station at work - composers and musicians working with electronic music, everything from Theramins to 'hyperviolin' - and thought he'd probably be in on that. Someone Dave works with heard a DJ on a different station say something about Thomas but didn't catch the whole thing. The two facts seemed to stick together in my mind.
