I just picked up a local freebie and found out that Q101 (for non-locals, a teen MTV playlist/tight format/snotty DJs)(does every one in the country call itself Qsomething?) is sponsoring the show. I haven't listened to that station on purpose recently, but I suppose they're playing the flaming Lips album--won't hold my breath for them to play Robyn. Hope this won't limit Robyn at WXRT, who recently got called out by Steve Earle for not playing his album--which was great , but at least they had an excuse, since it was bluegrass--not "fuck ass Rawk and Role" dave ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 17:49:19 -0400 (EDT) From: Terrence M Marks Subject: Plundertronics I'm surprised I beat Eddie to this one.

The food was cooked on a gigantic wok, though, so there's something going for it. Anyhow, if you've never had Mongolian BBQ, definitely check it out - it can be quite tasty.

As an ex-vegetarian (two years) and ex-employee of restaurant kitchens (high school and college), I'm pretty sure that this is also probably happening in a LOT of places where you don't see the food being cooked. That was always a pet peeve of mine at least while I was on the herbivore side of the fence...you just never knew just what hunk of flesh was cooking on the grill right next to your veggie dish. Watch out for sauces, of course, too. A lot of Mongolian BBQ places (and Asian food restaurants in general) will offer vegetarian dishes, but throw some seafood related sauce (fish, lobster, prawn(!), oyster, etc.) into the mix.

No shit! He definitely has a unique way of telling stories. But I do think we will see more of Robyn on VH1 in the future. I'm sure he'll show up on the Jon Brion show.

Well, if you're coming on Friday you won't see much Robyn, the shows are Saturday and Sunday :). That being said, from what I have been able to gather here from my secret Potsylvanian sources, it looks like Saturday is shaping up as the big Feg day. Since I know we have quite a few vegs about (that would include me), I'm not sure the Mongolian BBQ is a great idea. How about Penny's Noodle Shop? I would think we'd probably have to have dinner early-ish, so that people who have to pick up their tickets by 8 can do so without feeling anxious for time. Here's who I either know will be attending the show or is rumored to be attending the show on Saturday: Gnat, Vivien, Dave D., Dave Librik, Shane Apple (or was that the 18th?), Dave Bell (I promise I'll get aholt of him as news develops, thanks for the addy Hal :)), meself and my SO. Dolph will also be present to show us all what dolphing really looks like, and recent de-lurker Rebecca will also be present.

Well, in all honesty, Robyn's music doesn't impress me too mch. It's good music, he has some great tunes, etc, but I never think to myself "Now that's an impressive tune" when I listen to it. Mst of Robyn's tunes don't even get a nod for "fun to sing" (yeah, they're ok, but not as enjoyable as the WPAEB's "I won't Hurt You", Jeremy Enigk's "Abegail Anne" or Bill Oddy's "Telephone Directory") He's very good, but just doesn't impress me much.
