It could be a person trolling for some Found Magazine action (, thanks to Amy B.P. Lewis for hipping me to it). But I'm voting for "real" for now. >Re: Jill Jones.

Since Prince produced and co-wrote most of the Jill Jones album in '87, and she appeared on Prince albums from _1999_ through SIGN O' THE TIMES, not surprising. :-) I had meant to pick up JILL JONES at the time that "Mia Bocca" was big, but didn't. I lucked out a few years later and found a vinyl copy in a $1 bin. It's one of the very best Prince-related albums, IMO, along with the Family's album (the one with the first release of "Nothing Compares 2 U"). I've never figured out why Jill didn't go on to have a bigger career. Someday, someone will have a "Prince-related reissue" campaign, and the market will be momentarily flooded with JILL JONES, APOLLONIA 6, the Mazerati album, the Andre Cymone stuff, etc. Then it'll all go out of print again. later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2002 10:30:45 -0700 From: Roger Winston Subject: [loud-fans] you have been referenced You find mentions of the Loud Family in the oddest places... I picked up the latest (Jan 2003) issue of Animerica (Anime & Manga Monthly) the other day, the way I sometimes do. On page 57, there's a review of an anime DVD called Trouble Chocolate. The last line of the (positive) review reads: "Trouble Chocolate is as good-naturedly food-obsessed and wittily self-referential as a head-on collision between a Shonen Knife tour bus and a Loud Family fan club charter-plane, with lots of in-jokes, visual puns and not-so-serious combat to punctuate the daily humdrum of a school where phagomania, psychokinesis and the "the extraterrestrial problem" are the same old same old." The author of the review, you ask? Chris Hudak, friend of Scott, Badtz Maru backpack-wearer, and one-time List member. Latre. --Rog ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2002 17:43:59 -0500 From: jenny grover Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Joe Strummer Obituary Michael Bowen wrote: > > http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/news/story/0,11711,864833,00.html Thanks for sending that in, Michael.

The Clash was one of the first rock bands I ever liked. They wrere wonderful, and a lot of todays rockers should take some direction from them. I got to see them live, on what I think was their last tour ever, at the First Union Center (then The Spectrum) in Philly, in 1982. One of the best shows I ever saw, and Stummer was incredible.

The song is "Caroline and I" and I'm really liking it a lot. As mentioned before, non-members of emusic can still sign up for the trial and get 50 free downloads. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. - --dana ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
