Of note to members of this list, though, there's a cover version of "Don't Entertain Me Twice" and I do think that it's good enough to be worth recommending. Shari and I both thought that it had quite a bit of Devo in it. The website is www.fecklessbeast.com, and I hope that Doug won't be mad at me for posting this without asking him first. - --dana ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Please tell me I'm not the only one who ran screaming from the computer just reading about this? Also: Mark S. referred to a "nocturnal uber-weiner." The Estate of Frank Zappa wants to talk to you. Finally: is there some backstory/cultural reference I'm missing in the following? I noticed variations on the same phrase on two different businesses' signs the other day (a sub shop and a window repair shop): "your wife called - she wants you to pick up a [sub/new window]." What the hell is up with that? Why would anyone's wife call the *store* and not her husband? Is this some dumbass SNL skit I've missed because life's too short for crap TV? - --Mr. Grumbly ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2002 00:37:52 -0400 From: "Chris Murtland" Subject: [loud-fans] yay Just signed up for emusic.com.

Thanks again for the Moz tip, Dana. I caught the interview and all, and, needless to say, like Dieter from "Sprockets," I'm as happy as a little girl! "The First of the Gang to Die" is a great song, and I had no idea Morrissey lived in Clark Gable's house in L.A.. I loved his opinions about all American corporate record execs needing to be mowed down (but he kept politely silent about how Kilborn should be with them), and how wretched "American Idol" is. I was, at a somewhat hardened 35, truly starstruck. I better go see if I have zits again. If anyone on list has the ability and wouldn't mind (I finally got a decent DVD player that'll play any disc ever made), could someone PLEASE burn an MP3 of this song to CD for me and mail it to me? I'll gladly send you the money to cover costs. I'll even wash and wax your car and mow your lawn for a year.
