I can't imagine that there were actually people cowering in fear of the Mighty Robyn-Banter Lovers until you came around and liberated them. Anything is possible, of course. It seems more likely that they didn't see the point of posting "Hi everyone, I don't like Robyn's stories." So your trailblazing anti-banter post may have greased that particular chute. Good thing? Bad thing? Don't ask me, I'm really a lurker. >So yay for Eb, for daring to think the unthinkable. That's the impression that I get.

[Title: Love is What Long Title: Love is What Frightens You The Most Description: Independant fiction based on anime series Ranma 1/2] I've written ch1-4, and they're available now, through me. Chapter 1 seems to crash mailing lists, for some reason, though some people swear it's a big coincidence. I'm looking for a chapter title for chapter nine. 1) Title must be music-related. Preferably from a song verse 2) Chapter nine's title must pertain to dreams. Love is What, Chapter 9: [considered: "Daylight, Dreams and Echoes" "Dreams are like water" "Somebody's dreams 'til tomorrow" "Too much to dream last night" "Dreams in the cold light of day" "Everybody's a dreamer" "Dreams often fade and die in a bad bad world" "And what exactly is a dream?" "Seems like everything was going well" rejected: "In my tears, my dreams" "Too much to dream last night" "a dream in a mist of grey..." "Soft, white dreams with sugar coated outside" "Hoping and dreaming you were here," "Day is as light as your brightest dreams, " "I dream the coast is clear" "Gemini Dream" "Sweet dreams are made of these" "I keep on dreamin' 'bout a swimmin' pool" "The Bad Dream Soup" General: I went through all the Robyn Hitchcock, Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett and Kinks, Jeremy Enigk, Viva Saturn, Rutles and High Llamas stuff... That still leaves a lot.. But none of them seem really *perfect* for the chapter, and I want a perfect title for this one. Unfort, I can't send it to you for preview because I haven't written it yet...

If you're speaking of the two versions used in 1989's "Dream a Little Dream," then you would be speaking of artist Mickey Thomas of Starship who sang that one. The version in the ending credits is a duet between Thomas and Mel Torme. I don't know who sang the 1938 original. Personally, my fave song off of that soundtrack/movie is Danny Wilde's "Time Runs Wild." That song just rocks and is very dreamy. How about: "City of Dreams," Talking Heads "Welcome To My Nightmare," Alice Cooper "Running Down a Dream," Tom Petty "Sweet Dreams," Eurythmics (cliche and token, I know) "Dreams to Remember," Milli Vanilli (heheheheheh) "No. 6 Arrives at 'Dreamy Party'," J.

Yup. You won't get any argument from this corner. > everything on FEGMANIA! is libidinous. And almost everything on "Groovy Decoy" as well, I've noticed, but in a darker, less playful way.

Only those equally , er, off in general, get it-- which is one of the reasons we qualify as a cult. this must be true--because now that susan has confessed it I too will affirm to finding Midnight Fish endearing for its very-- awefullness.

Seems strange the writer would believe Robyn would undertake a song that has NO instrumentation and REQUIRES three part harmony on a SOLO tour. Lazy journalism, I ask? Nice to see he got picked as gig of the week, however! :) Bayard writes: <> I'm afraid this "historic" event has become a "tall tail." Here's the deal- I arrived during soundcheck to prep for my interview with Robyn. He saw me come in, and while I was walking by, in mid-song, Robyn incerted the line "It's a Hedblade" to the tune he was picking (can't remember which one it was- sorry). Now, I was simply pleased that the man remembered who I was (he seems to have a strange attraction to my last name, which is a major blessing for me!), but he DID NOT build a song around it. I wish he had, but I'm still chuffed nonetheless. How did this story get on the list, BTW? I don't recall saying anything about it in my post. To be honest, I'm a bit worried someone out there might think I'm bragging again... One last note: Not that it will shake your worlds or anything, but I'm going to be pretty inactive on the list for the next few days to a week. I'm moving on Tuesday, so my time is really taxed. I mention this only for those of you who may send me personal mail. If you don't hear back from me in a timely fashion, you'll know why. Also, for all of you who I have trades in the works with, I'm still interested in doing them, but the move will prevent me from keeping my end of the bargain for the next couple of weeks. When things get under control, I'll post you and we'll pick up where we left off. Thanks for your understanding. Sincerely, Jay P.S.
