I can see what they're doing. Originally, I was hoping that Pisco Bandito would be on the album, I love the song, but for what they're going for it won't seem to fit. I can understand why they took out any "silly" songs, they're moving toward a more "serious" image, something where they won't get labeled with one silly song such as King of Spain. They may want to be seen (at least through their albums, which are most visible to people) as an excellent band that puts out serious, strong tunes; silly ones are often pawned off as quirky or novelties. Anyway, I don't understand why they don't release more singles? I think their only one was Stuck in the 90s, right? They could put Pisco on the B side of their first single. Is it just me or does it seem like fewer bands put out singles in North American than in Europe? **** Posted from RemarQ - http://www.remarq.com - Discussions Start Here (tm) **** ------------------------------ Date: Monday, 12 Jul 1999 10:34:42 -0600 From: oipugliufed@8uihsdrfsa.com Subject: XXX CONTENT 50709 This is for Adults Only: http://207.240.225.250 * 18+ Only Please! . %;:V\aR$>1 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 13:41:00 -0400 From: dopeytoo Subject: Re: nyc date Mocksie wrote: > > How much is this one going to cost, does anyone know? i'm pretty sure it's free ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 17:37:39 GMT From: Jacey7@aol.com Subject: Quill OK, so I've been on the mailing list since November.
