And back when I was in high school, my young friends and I used to enjoy quoting Monty Python in conversation. Those were the days. Eb Well when I was young me and me mates used to go round quoting Joyce , Proust and TS Elliot to each other , its only later as I burnt out successive layers of brain cells that I degenerated into the virtual droog that you view online today . But really Ebbo, I was expecting more , here I am seemingly annoying you ( unintentionally BTW , your downer personality is one of the reasons I pissed off years ago and the last thing I want to do is ruffle your feathers - well not the last thing , but it would be nice if you weren't so predictably grumbly - and yes to preempt your response -it would be nice if I wasn't so spewingly surreal and silly but neither of us is going to change now methinks ) by my silly, yobbosistic and provocative posts and the best you can do is THAT ! c'mon Ebby I expected something a bit more pithy from you. you've had enough practice , at least you could have thrown in a putdown with more weight , your standards are slipping. Why don't you do yourself a favor and skip all my posts and I will do the same with yours ? No one is forcing you to consume surreal spew for tea and I don't really want to trade insults with you , your responses are too predictable .I blame it all on that bee sting you had around 1999, soured you for good it did ! der kommander ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 07:35:10 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: blowjobs from the press On 11/20/06, ken ostrander wrote: > > > >>>>>>>I suppose that if Buck can manage being in two "bands," why >not > three?

I wouldn't count Levin, simply because he's always been a session guy rather than a band member for the most part (he played on a couple tracks on Lou Reed's _Berlin_, I believe...as did Jack Bruce. Interesting selection of bassists!). Similarly, I think Eno mostly appears on other people's records as a side-effect (so to speak) of his producing them. What's more unusual about McCaughey (and Langford and Pollard - I'd agree) is that they're not primarily session guys but instead are simultaneously members of multiple working bands. (Well, maybe not so much Pollard, since it tends to be his show wherever he appears.) - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 14:53:04 -0800 From: "Stacked Crooked" Subject: update the seattle in-store has been moved from friday to saturday (at 3:00). also on saturday: kexp, at 4:30. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 09:44:12 -0500 From: wojbearpig Subject: Ottobar Setlist - ----- Forwarded message from scott shindell ----- From: "scott shindell" To: owner-fegmaniax@smoe.org Subject: Ottobar Setlist Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 08:31:37 -0500 Hi, I'm not a member of your list but I did attend last night's show.
