Both are pretty good (in fact, better than a lot of the last album): http://www.bravecaptain.co.uk/freemp3s.htm Brave Captain is the one-man-band of Martin Carr, who wrote most of the Boo Radleys' material. The new songs are late Boo sounding (Beatles + Blur). - --dana ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

They're a synthpop duo from Manchester, so their influences are pretty much what you'd expect, but the execution is tuneful and tasteful if you're a New Order / Vitesse / Numan / etc. sort of person. -d.w. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2003 08:55:17 -0500 From: steve Subject: [loud-fans] Polyphonic Spree on tour I just got a notice that The Polyphonic Spree is going on tour.

And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either. - Trent Lott ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2003 08:57:47 -0500 From: Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey Subject: [loud-fans] Japanese CDs Someone here (I'm looking at you, glenn) probably has some good advice on the best place to order Japanese CDs. Specifically, I'm interested in the 2- CD Jason Falkner collection _Everyone Says It's On_: first disc is a bunch of demos (only four or five tracks redundant with _Necessity_), second disc a bunch of covers. Amazon (US) wants $48.49 for it; the label (airmailrecordings.com) offers it for 3,500 yen (which is about $29 at the moment) but I don't know what kind of shipping/other charges there might be.

Just to clarify, "The Believer" is a magazine published by the same people who publish "McSweeny's." Paragraph #1 of my post is about "The Believer." Paragraph #2 is about "McSweeny's". - --dana ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Remember when all those media companies sued SonicBlue? They lost, though they got an injunction they wanted that made SonicBlue collect information on their users... it's not a joke, a hoax, or a misunderstanding that the networks are pissed about people skipping ads and are willing to use legal means to try and stop it. It is true, however, that they have not succeeded yet and may never. a ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2003 15:15:44 -0400 From: "Larry Tucker" Subject: [loud-fans] WARNING: Geek content From the Onion.

I now remember all those comparisons back in the day, and then I watched the show. I always thought of FRIENDS as "not at all like SEINFELD.. it's actually funny!" What I didn't like were the FRIENDS clones that came in 1995-6. I remember an joke article were it was basically just a photo of network pilots of sitcoms with names like "Acquaintences" "..On a First Name Basis" and "Pals". I'm just one of those who never understood how SEINFELD was funny at all. And the actual clones of that show ("it's like, you know" and "Zoe, Duncan..") were even worse!
