Mike ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 09:28:46 EDT From: LiveThruThisVow@aol.com Subject: NPR: Very Sad News :*( The Whole Article Here's the whole article: Joey Ramone, lead singer of legendary punk band the Ramones, passed away at 2:40 p.m. Sunday at the age of 49. The towering front man, born Jeffrey Hyman, did not respond to treatment for lymphatic cancer, a disease that attacks the body's ability to fight infection. Along with his cohorts Johnny, Tommy and Dee Dee b all of whom adopted Ramone as a surname b Joey was credited with helping found the modern punk movement. In mixing the griminess of the New York streets with a love of bubblegum pop, '60s girl groups and the Stooges, the Ramones inspired everyone from the Sex Pistols and the Clash to Green Day and Blink-182 to stake their turf on four dirty chords and an (often) inane hook. With his trademark rose-colored shades, black leather jacket, shoulder-length hair, ripped jeans and alternately snarling and crooning, hiccoughing vocals, Joey was the iconic godfather of punk. He gave voice to some of the most revered songs in the punk canon: "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment," "Rock 'n' Roll High School," "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker." His profile was indelible. The image of Joey's body, left foot forward, right foot back, left hand strangling the microphone, fist pumping in the air as he shouted one of the band's unofficial mantras, "Gabba Gabba Hey!," is forever imprinted in the minds of any fan who attended one of the band's 2,263 shows. Born in the Forest Hills section of Queens, New York, on May 19, 1952, Joey founded the Ramones in 1974 with Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy. Originally the drummer, Joey switched to vocals two months after the band played it first show in March 1974 at New York's Performance Studio. The group soon became a staple at the dingy New York punk club CBGB, home to fellow downtown bands Talking Heads, Patti Smith and Blondie. In 1975 the Ramones became the first punk band to sign a record contract. Their self-titled debut, recorded for $6,000, was released in 1976 and featured such rock landmarks as "Judy Is a Punk," "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" and "Beat on the Brat." Destroying the '70s prog-rock idea that rock had to be played by learned musicians in full command of their instruments, the Ramones pioneered the do-it-yourself ideal that inspired thousands of punk bands with lots of energy but dicey chops to pick up instruments and rock. Their 1977 album Ramones Leave Home featured a quintessential mix of gutter-punk anthems and homages to classic pop songs ("I Remember You," "Oh Oh I Love Her So"). It also featured the unofficial Ramones anthem "Pinhead," in which Joey sang, "I don't want to be a Pinhead no more/ I just found a nurse that I could go for." The Ramones not only prodded bands such as the Sex Pistols, the Clash and X-Ray Spex to take up their instruments and take on the world, but they also laid the path for the next generation of new wave and punk bands to rock maximally with minimal flourish. Inspired by the Ramones' wide-open subject matter b which ranged from sniffing glue to male prostitution to lobotomies b as well as by the music, '80s bands such as Husker Du, the Replacements and Devo further exploded the notion of how rock could sound. The Ramones released what is arguably their best album, Rocket to Russia, in 1977. Featuring such concert staples as "Cretin Hop," "Rockaway Beach" and "We're a Happy Family," the album not only summed up the glum outlook of the punk generation, it was a shrill counterpoint to the disco music that was sweeping the nation in the wake of "Saturday Night Fever." After trying their hands at the movies, starring in 1979's "Rock 'n' Roll High School," the group entered the studio with one of their idols, '60s' "wall of sound" producer Phil Spector. The resulting 1980 album, End of the Century, included a cover of "Baby I Love You" by the Ronettes, who were fronted by one of Joey's favorite singers, Ronnie Spector (Phil's ex-wife). The group followed with 10 more studio albums of speedy, anti-social punk and a relentless touring schedule, and enjoyed Beatlemania-style fame in Argentina and Japan. Although the band rarely cracked the album charts and achieved marginal album sales during a 22-year career, its influence continues to this day. With most of his contemporaries faded, dead or inactive, Joey became the embodiment of first-wave punk, with a shy, soft-spoken manner that belied his band's twisted songs about social misfits too bored, disconnected or disaffected to play by the rules. Joey may have shared a last name with his bandmates, but familial love couldn't keep them from their constant bickering, leading to the Ramones' dissolution in 1996. After the group played its final show on August 9, 1996 b such fans as Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Soundgarden's Chris Cornell jammed with the Ramones that night b Joey continued to carry the torch for the music he loved. In addition to producing an EP and an album by horror-ska rockers the Independents b whom he tirelessly championed and managed for much of the late '90s b Joey co-produced a 1999 EP by his idol Ronnie Spector. The EP featured one of Joey's most poignant tunes, "She Talks to Rainbows," a ballad he wrote for the Ramones' 1995 studio swan song, Adios Amigos!. It was about a girl Joey would often see in his neighborhood, who he said looked like she was in her own world. "She's a little lost girl in her own little world/ She looks so happy, but seems so sad/ Oh yeah/ I'd like to help her/ I'd like to try/ Oh yeah," Spector sang in her trademark yearning voice on the EP. In addition to trying to help resurrect the career of his hero Spector, Joey was working on his debut solo album over the past three years. Collaborating with long-time Ramones producer Daniel Rey, Ramone had written nearly 20 new tunes that he planned to record with a band that included Andy Shernoff of the punk group the Dictators, Cracker drummer Frank Funaro and Rey on guitar. Joey kept a low profile over the past few years, jumping onstage to belt out occasional Ramones songs at birthday parties in his honor thrown by his punk-rocker friends in New York. In February 2000, he buried the hatchet with former Ramones drummer Marky Ramone, recruiting Marky to play on a handful of his solo songs. bGil KaufmanB B ~*~ Adventure, excitement, the Jedi craves not these things~ Silent Bob ~*~ There is no power, like my pretty power~ Hole ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 09:56:54 -0400 From: littleraisingirl Subject: Re: No subject was specified. littleraisingirl wrote: > > >> > > hey does anyone know where else to buy the new release of haunted? > maybe online? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 11:37:29 -0400 From: "Rusty Shelby" Subject: "Hey Pretty"... the time has come alright psychos.... the time has come once again to pull our forces together & do a repeat of what we all did just 2 months ago.

For all the Poe fans out there, we can weigh the +/- of a DM/Poe tour: +: We get to see Poe in a large venue, she gets a larger potential audience, large name act adds to cred for tour afterwards - -: We get to see Poe in a large venue with a bunch of people that really won't care as much as a good psycho, therefore talking, eating, walking, smoking, pushing, and generally fucking with our musical enjoyment. Also, a larger venue means on the average you will be farther away and separated from her by the people above, all on cell phones. She gets a larger potential audience that came there primarily to see DM, and not Poe, therefore entering into the group of wonderful people mentioned above. And the largest minus of all: an opener ALWAYS has a short set, unless they are sharing the headliner's time. She'd get around 30 minutes, most likely when it is still light outside, and no staging with minimal lighting. It would kinda stink. So, in the tale of the tape, I hope she doesn't tour with DM, unless she THEN gets to do a smaller POE only tour, and comes around to other cities (AUSTIN!) to bring her Music for the Masses ;-D LanceKitty ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 13:28:43 -0500 From: "Jennifer Cook" Subject: Re: "Hey Pretty"... the time has come Just tell me when, and I'll be a calling, e-mailing, though not sending flowers fool!

Having sexual relations with a male animal are punishable by death. (Like THAT makes sense.) In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror. Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers; the sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times. (A brick??) The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the firsttime... Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry. (Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?) In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband's lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired. (Ah!Justice!) Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!) In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act. (Makes one shudder at the thought.) In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time. I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law? In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises." (Is this a great country or what? Not as great as Guam!) If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it) If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it) A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. In my next life I want to be a pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Still not over that pig thing) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (Is that why Flipper was always smiling?) The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hummm....I won't touch THAT one!) The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. (From drinking little bottles of...?) (Did the govt. pay for this research??) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (In my next life I STILL want to be a pig ... quality over quantity) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Ah, geez) An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish don't have brains. (I know some people like that too.)

I am a HUGE Matthew Sweet fan, and I do not care for Delerium at all. But 'Daylight' is a great song -- Matthew's got such a sweet voice, and he doesn't often showcase it. And speaking of Matthew, I was reminded by the Josie conversations -- he is the bassist on most of the Josie tracks, though the credits on the CD are weird. re: the 'Hey Pretty' video: Hrm. I like the bits with Mark and the text and stuff. But the sexpot mud-wrestling Poes confused me. I can see the Dior ad/Galliano connection -- but why? The 'Hello' videos were really great -- what's going on here? Poe and Mark are not exactly amateurs in the visual media field. So, two options: 1) they had no control over the video at all (unlikely) or 2) they were trying to say something with the visuals that I can't grasp. Maybe it is that the song isn't really the 'Poe' persona, but Keri (bother, I can't remember how Mark spelt her name)? And they're just having fun with that? sorry if this is incoherent, I didn't sleep much last night. - -mrd ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 17:11:02 -0500 From: Michaela Drapes Subject: NPR: Why you should run out right now and read "Girl" by Blake Ne lson, and not see the hideoous movie adaptation starring Dominique Swain, Tara Reid, and Summer Phoenix Ok, so once upon a time there was this little magazine called 'Sassy' -- which was *the* arbiter of cool when I was in high school.

Might have been somewhereelse, but I'm pretty sure that was it. I didn't take an active interest in her at the time until just recently I got the notion to go back and listen to some of her songs. I went out and bought both albums about 3 months ago (about friggin time...). Anyway, she's awesome...what can I say. As for other musicians, I don't really listen to all that many. I only buy CD's if I really like the artist and that's only about 8 bands: Poe, Smashing Pumpkins (my all time favorite), Remy Zero (new fav. as of the end of Pumpkinland, but you must check these guys out.), 311, blink-182, New Found Glory, Alien Ant Farm, American Hi-Fi, Saves the Day, Nina Gordon, and Good Charlotte.

I cast my vote for the visuals, but I'm sure the mass non-AP public wants to see almost naked muddy Poes by the barrel full! : ) - - Amber ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 20:00:09 EDT From: Tarotfeather@aol.com Subject: Re: NPR: Why you should run out right now and read "Girl" by Blake Ne lson, a... I have to totally agree. I was very dissapointed with the movie, but the book is amazing on many levels. While I thought Tara Reid was adorable as Cybil (personally, i think Tara Reid is adorable no matter what!), the movie did - no offense - suck compared to the book. I totally reccommend it. As well as another "girl" book, "Girl, Interrupted." Another amazing book that was adapted into a less than perfect movie. Some books just shouldn't be fucked with!

Well why the posting? Consider it a tribute to my first and biggest Obsession. Joey Ramone of the Ramones(any of you who didn't know who he was should be strung up by their toes, whipped to death, then shot:P) died yesterday. But as far as obsessions go they were the first and I still think the biggest of a whole string of them. You know what I mean...the ones like Poe. Your on 5 mailing lists, have every CD ever made allong with half the remixxes, bootlegs and imports. So am sorta curious of everyone elses and in order that they happend. If they're anything like mine it makes it more interesting. The Ramones Rush Boston Tori Amos Rush(they made a comeback) Poe Billy Joel Everclear Well those are them to date...not to say Poe doesn't still have her spot still in the rotation and did make a semi comeback with the new cd ;) Have fun with this, interested to see what you all have... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 19:19:14 -0500 From: "Patrick Langley" Subject: Re: No subject was specified. ebay has a few, but beware the fakes from the far east. also, don't get too confused with the poe fishing gear or the 10k worth of E.A.

Yeah it is done at raves, but drugs are done EVERYWHERE, despite the scene. Rednecks do E as well as people that party. Fuck 20/20 because the always offer half of the story.
