Uh, the Beatless? Dear 125, I am the editor of the so-far-beneath-the-radar-you-need-a- dowsing-rod-to-spot-it music review website Flaming Ass Rod (www.wellwhatthefuckelsewoulditbe.com). Currently, we receive over 15 hits per week - primarily because we've tied monkeys to computer terminals and trained them to access the site repeatedly. (Then we feed them bananas, so it's okay.) Nothing cool happens in the greater Chapped Ass, Montana area that we're not responsible for, directly, indirectly, or at the behest of our parole officers, and whenever anyone passes by our office (a/k/a my spooky Uncle Ted's basement apartment), we frighten them by yelling aloud reviews of bands no one's ever heard of (cuz half the time, we just make them up to seem cool). We are particularly interested in CDs that feature pictures of women in bathtubs, clothed or un-, and so your music fits our publication just like that pair of jeans that fits so long as we lie down flat on our backs on the bed, suck in our guts and lift our butts until our faces turn blue, and then pull like the Budweiser Clydesdales. I downloaded the Anton Barbeau MP3s - why don't you put up MP3s of everything you release, and that way more people could hear your music without troubling you to actually send it to them? "Musician" will then be redefined as "itinerant seller of t-shirts and antisocial behavior." Here's my address - oh, and you sound real sexy in your phone message.

Ah - have the owners of Renaissance Books in Milwaukee expanded? Their downtown location is amazing - six stories or so of books, seemingly in no order whatsoever, in a building that you'd swear is about to come tumbling down around your head. I haven't been there for a while (because, really, it's no good for buying anything specific, but it's great for browsing), but I hope they haven't changed it. - --Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html ::I play the guitar.

To all who might soon visit California but don't know about In-N-Out Burgers: oh my father of He Who Hogs Thy Ball: the absolute best hamburger I have ever had. And don't miss Rubio's Pesky Pescado fish tacos while you're there. Sounds weird, but they're not to be missed. I almost moved there just for the fish tacos and to join some band that ended up breaking up anyway.

I will testify that In-N-Out Burgers are indeed wonderfully excellent, in the 'fast food" division (larger scale, drippy juicy burgers are in a separate category). But didn't we have the "best burger" conversation a while back? Oh well - gotta make the vegetarians feel irrelevant to the conversation once in a while... - --Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html ::sex, drugs, revolt, Eskimos, atheism:: ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2002 02:02:13 -0500 From: "John Sharples" Subject: [loud-fans] Ice, ice, baby! Today I am *so happy*! I am addicted to Gatorade. Have been for years. You fellow addicts may recall that a few years ago the good people at Gatorade rolled out a new flavor, the clear-colored "Lemon Ice." It was, simply, God's Own Beverage. I remember reading an editorial in the Columbia University daily paper at the time (during an especially scorching summer), wherein the author claimed that Gatorade Lemon Ice was in fact the greatest beverage ever to grace this Earth. I could hardly disagree. Imagine my despair, my dismay! when last summer, Lemon Ice disappeared -- completely! -- from stores' shelves. The original Lemon-Lime was suitable, the rest of the flavors, irrelevant. Since then, I led a life of just barely making do. Yea, tonight I stopped by my local Pakistani-run convenience mart, needing a resupply of Gatorade. Imagine my astonishment to discover a *new flavor*. Not just any new flavor. A *clear-colored* new flavor! My heartbeat quickened. I read the label. "New, Lime Ice!" Holy fucking shit on a biscuit. Just so you know, in general terms, lemon is just okay--despite this mere imperfection, Gatorade Lemon Ice was still the product to end all products! But LIME -- oh, sweet lime, oh impossibly tangy LIME! -- is for me the ultimate flavor, for all products, all fruit, and including all menu items, food recipes, candy, soft drinks, underarm deodorant, aftershave, furniture polish, floorwax stripping agent, depleted uranium, you name it. Says lime, I buy it. But: *Lime* Ice!?? It was like not only being delivered from hell, but skipping both purgatory and limbo, and getting an EZ-Pass straight to heaven. Oh, Lord, oh Lordy, let me be *delivered*!! Gatorade Lime Ice is here. I've already polished two 20-oz bottles. I couldn't even tell you how it compares to its predecessors. I'm too dazed, entranced, excited to trust my tastebuds. We'll have to look into it further. JS ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V2 #112 *******************************
