Subject: Top 50 CDs of 1998

Hey y'all,

WXPN here in Philadelphia is asking listeners to help them compile the Top 50
CDs of 1998 (which they will play back to back the week of New Years). You can
go to their <A HREF="www.xpn.org">website</A> and vote for your five favorite.
I think we'd all love to see Portable EFO Show finish on the list, so vote
early and vote often! I'd like to hear what everyone would vote for too.

My choices:
Portable EFO Show
Play - The Nields
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams
Miles From Home - Cowboy Junkies
Mousse - The Nields


Chuck

Much as I'd like to stuff the ballot box for EFO (and Moxy Fruvous; Live
Noise kicks!), I am *NOT* going to give my name and address away like that.
 Call me paranoid.  Call me a privacy freak.  Call me Ishmael.  But they
have no legitimate need for that information, and their attempt to collect
it borders on the sleazy.

Were I to vote, however, I suspect my list would contain the following:

Portable EFO Show
Live Noise--Moxy Fruvous
Rant and Roar--Great Big Sea
Severe Tire Damage--They Might Be Giants (worth it for the fast version of
"Why Does The Sun Shine?" alone, though I do wish they'd included their
cover of "Mr. Tambourine Man".)
Hmmm... I bought a lot of CDs this year, but not all of them were released
in '98.

Ehhh, I think its just a pretty typical marketing schtick. They wanna know who
you are and add you to their mailing list so they can beg money from you at
pledge drive time. It doesn't say though that you must include your info to
vote, only to be eligible for prize drawings. So l continue to vote
anonymously....

PS - I don't think Ismael the Wonder Nerd works as well!

Subject: EFO: covers update

Hey all!
     I'd like to thank everyone who's sent in any contributions to the list of
EFO tunes.  I've got a pretty big list, now.  I also got a bunch direct from
the band themselves on this week's tour.  They practiced a few old tunes, and
merely relived the memories of others.  I will be compiling the list over the
next couple of weeks and will post it after the last BH show.  Can anyone
think of some EFO originals which are not yet recorded?  Please include the
newer ones, too.  Thanks!

CB

<<While it's fun for we fans to be digging up these lists of cover tunes 
that EFO does, it'd be cool to get a little help directly from the 
source.

How about Mike -- rumor has it that you read the list -- you wanna give 
over some of the titles of covers that we've missed thus far.

<< Fire - (don't know who wrote it, but Springsteen did it) >>
 
I think Bruce does a different song, also called "Fire" - "Hey little girl, is
your daddy home, did he go and leave you all alone?  Mm hmm."  EFO does the
one done by the Pointer Sisters, according to Julie.  Don't know if they wrote
it or even performed it originally.  "I'm drivin' in my car.  I turn on the
radio...";  "...My words, they spit (hock, spit), but you know I'm a liar,
'cause when we kiss,  oo-ooo, Fire!"  And we can't forget the sing along part:
"Romeo and Juliet..."

Just so none of you expect to hear Bruce's version on Tuesday.
