I believe she now has a "band" named after herself! Being in high profile bands like Hole and Smashing Pumpkins certainly helps in getting the photo ops. I can't comment on her bass playing.

Hey- would anybody be up for a Feg gig in a few months in the DC/ Balitmore area? I've ended up in a reunion of my old college band (only now doing originals, includeing at least one tune so far form the dear deaprted Number Nine Line (NoNL)), and my brother and the former keyboard player of Nonl have formed a new electronic sound collage expereimental group, the Communist Mutants From Space. Anyone in the area game? In other musical news, The ambient chant CD I have been working on for two years was just approved by the Lama I worked with on it, and the contract has now been signed. I know I asked about this months ago, and there was some discussion , but does anyone have ideas about getting this to folks? http://www.drikungtmc.org/drikung_music.htm All that discussion was on my work email address, which got erased when I was let go.

I think Nixon's death in the mid-90s was a more subdued affair for obvious reasons, so all the hubbub does seem strange as we haven't had a big state funeral since LBJ died in the early-70s. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Jun 2004 15:36:55 -0700 From: "Rex Broome" Subject: Speaking of Sonic Youth...

"Kim Gordon and the Arthur Doyle Hand Cream"! Is this a legal matter, baby? Was Mariah really worried that her reputation as an artist would be sullied by being namechecked by Sonic Youth?

Since we're not considered critical, I have off. I guess mail isn't either.

It has been done before, right? It would be the only thing that hasn't _if_ it hasn't. Even the band in _School of Rock_ had a girl playing bass.
