Aaron?) like the Dismemberment >Plan? Uh - am I a hipster now? I don't even own a white belt. Must be the glasses... I don't like the Dismemberment Plan at all, either. Oh, so speaking of hipsters, I was making my usual round of the listening stations at Music Millennium yesterday, and I listened to the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. It was amazing - I could actually hear them becoming dated as I listened to them. I mean, they didn't suck or anything, but self-conscious hipness and posturing practically drooled from the headphones. They sounded like they were trying very very hard to fit the mold of what's considered cool this year... or last year, really. Whatever, man. Anyway, I ended up buying the new Starlight Mints album, but I haven't listened to it yet. I also read an amusing/irritating bit of Elephant 6 backlash in Magnet (the "Irrelevant 6," haw haw). Let's see, it's been 5 years since "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"? So by 2008 people will be writing similar stuff about the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. Cool, I'll be waiting. n. wp: The Jayhawks, Hollywood Town Hall (dood, break out the white belts) _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

It's mentioned that Andy Warhol's favorite song was "Sally Go Round the Roses" by the Jaynettes, made in 1963. Downloaded it, and I recognized it from my childhood... a very weird tune indeed for the time. Rather haunting. Apparently it was electronically modified in the studio, a very early use of that technology. Oh, and I came across this: the first mention of the term "punk rock" was in Creem Magazine in May, 1971. Thought someone out there in Fegland might be interested... Very good stuff about Ghost in a Jar in a Ghost Jar, submitted by Ken Iosso! (insert several smiley faces). The list has been lots of fun lately, though I don't keep up with the latest groups like some of you do! I am thinking about going to see Daniel Lanois in the next week or so, is it worth it? I really know him as a producer of other people's music and am not familiar with his own stuff.

My first thought would be to put one in the frig, or freezer, to see if it will harden enough to fall off. - - Steve __________ So how about using the same shock-value tactics the administration uses in the drug war to confront the public with the ultimate - and much more linearly linked - consequences of their energy wastefulness?

If you are in the North Jersey/New York City region you should try to get out and see Rocket From The Tombs at Maxwell's tomorrow(Monday) night. It is a mind blowing hour of music, too short but just right. http://www.projex.net/rftt.html Max _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V12 #203 ********************************
