Actually, on Halloween, my current male interest is coming to visit me from Columbus (where he's located...fortunately, it's only about two hours away!) for a movie marathon on the Sci-Fi Channel and he's consented to watch Rockula afterwards! ::does a happy dance:: He actually over the weekend became fond of _Astronauts and Heretics_ when I played it for him (he had asked me what my favourite song was and we ended up listening to the entire CD). Sorry if I'm gushing, but you know--sappy female stuff. - --Suzanne-- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Oct 1997 14:31:03 -0500 From: Melissa Jordan Subject: Alloy: J.

Sorry about the delay in responding here - I'm just now back on-line after a few days off escorting Mom around town! Not only is J. Peterman a real catalogue, they have their own truly pretentious web site: www.jpeterman.com Two catalogues back, there was a thinly veiled Seinfeld reference on one page. I just about died.

Although we obvious= ly make better music than the tedious bald one, is there a comparison to be made? Let's see, Electrix has ONE mate! Crackers PRETENDS to have lots of mates! Eric has no moer than one mate, but I can't tell! Lissu is the exception of course, and has LOADS OF MATES, but then if you= look as good as you sing that's no surprise! Ian - NO MATES! Monya - NO MATES, not even a studio ! Stephen and Mary - Lucky You! Me - Only my brother, and he was only really there to drive the car out o= f ffraternal duty! Lee - just him and the computer!! Electrix again - he did have a mate, but now he's GONE!! Don't take me seriously or anything, I'm just kidding, but isn't anyone i= n a band out there? I used to have one, but 1) they were useless, and 2) I'= m chronically anti-social. I think being in a band really gets in the way o= f acheiving your full potential as a musician. I can't imagine Thomas reall= y co-operating with anyone much. If you have to run your ideas past someone= they always get dilutedFor example, imagine TMDR proposing Aliens to a co-writer, something along the lines of " Right, I've got this great new= album idea, we'll start of with this great walking bass big band phallic metaphor of a car song, then a pop-Purcell thing about how LA blondes are= dumb but it's all our fault, then something about how women are like chil= i peppers, and to wrap up side one, some slow funk thing about chocolate wi= th huge slap bass. Yeah, and on side two we'll start with an ode to culinary= brain preparation, and this Hungarian thing with some tea-slurping, and o= k, and then we'll get Denis Chambers, the best drummer ever, to come along a= nd play on a bouncy inter-planetary drugs ditty." It doesn't work on paper does it? But I guess that's the genius if the individual thought, which ended up turning those crazy ideas into the greatest album of all time. If Thomas had a bunch of four mates all with the same haircut etc he'd probably have made 'Slippery When Wet' or 'What= 's The Story Morning Glory' instead. So what am I saying? I don't know, what am I talking about. Ah yes - havi= ng no mates is COOL!!!! And I should know! the_copse ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Oct 1997 18:25:47 -0500 (EST) From: RThurF@aol.com Subject: Re: Re: Alloy:UFO's In a message dated 10/27/97 1:12:42 PM, JAMac wrote: <> I wish you had seen it!

The ride was uneventful but for the stop on Venus to visit the counterpart of the original atop the Himalayas. Or was that in a past life? You don't agree with the King!!! Off with their heads.
