The Caped One (Eddie Tews) wrote: >so, how about a feg homepage webring? would that be too difficult to >pull off? I feel kind of silly asking this, but what exactly is a "webring?" I mean, I have a web page, Capuchin has a web page, John Jones has a web page--but what does one have to do to make it a webring? It sounds faintly cultish. Maybe we should compile a list of various fegs' web pages, and then post them all at once so as not to start a boring thread of URLs. In fact, if everyone wants to send me the info, I'd be glad to collate it and post it. So, fellow Fegs, if you've got a web page up, email me the url. Oh, yeah, and be sure to tell me what your name is, too. Karen Reichstein P.S. Special thanks to Lobstie for Robyn Hitchcock's Xmas Party. I'm gonna rock out to "Adoration of the City" while I peel shrimp for paella on Xmas. http://www.geocities.com/wellesley/1549 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Dec 1997 17:21:03 -0500 (EST) From: Natalie Jane Jacobs Subject: scribbling fool Mr Tews gurgles, >though i only glanced fairly briefly at natalie's it looks exceptional. >like the quail, i can't fathom where you find the time. Gorsh, thanks. :) The reason I have the time is because I have an extremely boring job with full internet access and I'm a slacker. Whee! Mr. T also suggested a literary anthology, perhaps to accompany GLASS FLESH. I would be honored to contribute to such, since my musical skills (or lack thereof) prevent me from getting involved with GLASS FLESH itself. I'm not sure *what* I'd write, but I'm sure I could come up with something... n. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Dec 1997 08:23:46 +0000 From: Tanter Subject: and even more death..... The brilliant Japanese director, Itami, committed suicide yesterday because he was accused of having an affair and wanted to prove his innocence. What a waste of a great life. I'm totally bummed.....

Knowing my nervousness before big gigs, I will probably suck mightily, but who knows? As for Chris Knox - I've never met him, but I recommend him to all Robyn fans. Great low-fi songs, and onstage weird banter second only to the greta one himself.
