I just had to jump in with one of my favourite Canadian bands, not ectoish more folkish. They wrote a song using the actual place names in Newfoundland although the closest they get to profanity is the word 'dildo'. The song is here: http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=kqrhGxdL8pA What can I say. We are the country that wouldn't allow radio djs to say the full name of The Barenaked Ladies when the band first started!! I also found another fun one on youtube that claims to be by the Arrogant Worms but isn't but it does qualify for profanity, although again in a funny way! http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=6JIFDPw4utE Sorry about the youtubes coming from the Korea site. I work here and it just won't let me go to any other youtubes. You should see how difficult it is to get to an English Microsoft or McAfee site!!

See "Dirty Ditties", "Nasty Novelties", "Pussycat". [BTW, for those of you who might like the Spankers if you knew you'd be free from dirty drugs and sex references and profanity of any sort (i remember once someone warning against seeing them due to the 'naughty' nature of some of their songs), you can safely check out "mommy says no!", a recent kids album they did, which is really great! And yes, safe for kids.] And for the profanity colelction, I wonder if you wouldn't also want to include something from the band Fuck, just .. given the band name. Their music isn't offensive or profane. I quite like them. I saw them live a couple of years ago, bought one of the CDs (I have Cupid's Cactus). They're nothing ectophilic but I like 'em. Kinda mellow. Really, *really* good live, just very competent musicians making some very good music. Oddly the impression they gave was that they were all amazing musicians from other bands moonlighting secretly on this little side project they just liked to get together to do. Which isn't the case (as far as i know anyway!) , but is just the *feel* of it, if that makes any sense. They seemed not to be taking anything too seriously, aside from playing some good music together for the pure joy of it. It was lovely. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck_(band) Regarding both the Asylum Street Spankers mentioned in this email, and the cost of touring mentioned in a recent thread, the Spankers, who've been a nearly non-stop-touring band for the last 12 years I've known them, have just announced that they can now barely break even on a tour, and they're giving it up with no particular plans to ever start it up again. Not that they're saying "never again". Sure, things could change in the future with the economy of touring and the economy of the US and the price of gas. Sure. But as things stand, no more Spankers on tour. This is absolutely my favorite band to see live, ever, and I'm going to miss them a ton. They're still planning to make music together and play in the Austin area where they're from, so maybe this means I'm going to be making yearly trips to Austin and I won't be too sad after all. - --jessica __________________________________________________________________ Be smarter than spam.

Anything interesting I should do/go to/etc? Search reveals that the first mention of the ectowiki on ecto was in the sig of a message by Dan Stark last December. I mentioned it on the list a few times back in May. Active participants that I know about are Karen, Dan, Leif and myself, and maybe meth and woj. (Am I forgetting anyone?) I believe originally it was just Karen's project for keeping her own list of potential concerts to go to, but then she let out the secret and we all piled on. There's now a lot up there for the week of the 21st, when I'll be out of town, darn it. I particularly recommend Brazz Tree on Monday the 22nd.

That is... wow, unexpected. Thanks for linking the > review. Not so unexpected, once you find out more of the history. Kristin Hersh was a huge fan of Mission of Burma as a teenager. I remember reading (or maybe hearing her tell) her story of how, when MoB had their original heyday, she was too young to get into the club where they were playing, but managed to wangle her way into hanging out on stage behind the drummer while MoB was playing. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 23:55:52 -0500 From: kerrywhite@webtv.net (kerry white) Subject: on-line ticket scam Hi, My home page news (MSNBC) just had an article about people being scammed by ticketsmyway.com I'll just say that if you are interested Google the name and scroll down past the offers made by them. bye, Kerry KrW I'm Peter Pan!
