Did the film "Things to Do in Dever when You're Dead" acknowledge the Warren Zevon song which gave it it's title at all? I seem to remember reading someone's opinion that even though song titles couldn't be copyrighted, there was some possibility of actionability on the basis of uniqueness -- I think the example was that anyone can title a song "Saturday Night" (and an awful lot have) but if you title a song "Octopuses' Garden," you're attempting to trade on the value of a singular work, and you might get a phone call from Apple Records. the pathetic caverns: a zine - opinionated and eclectic reviews a studio - specializing in indie/rock/mobile/live/demo recording http://www.pathetic-caverns.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 10:27:16 -0700 From: "me" Subject: [loud-fans] crossposted, sort of - julian cope great article, sent by anton barbeau, regarding julian cope: http://society.guardian.co.uk/societyguardian/story/0,7843,1239214,00.html enjoy. brianna ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 15:22:51 -0400 From: Jenny Grover Subject: [loud-fans] more sad ramones news Entertainment - Reuters Ramones Guitarist Losing Fight with Cancer Tue Jun 15, 8:50 PM ET LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The guitarist with pioneering punk rock band the Ramones is fighting a losing a battle with cancer in a Los Angeles hospital, Rolling Stone magazine reported on its Web site on Tuesday. Johnny Ramone, 55, whose real name is John Cummings, was diagnosed with prostate cancer four years ago, and it has now spread throughout his body, Rollingstone.com quoted the band's drummer, Marky Ramone, as saying. "Johnny's been a champ in confronting this, but at this point I think the chances are slim," Marky Ramone said in the report. "John never smoked cigarettes, he wasn't a heavy drinker and he was always into his health. It just proves when cancer seeks a body to penetrate, it doesn't matter how healthy you are or how unhealthy you are. It just seeps in and there's nothing you can do." The Ramones, famed for playing their high-energy, unpolished songs at breakneck speed, rose to fame in New York City in 1974, paving the way for such British punk rock icons as the Sex Pistols and the Clash. The band made its mark with such tunes as "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" and "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker," but it never achieved the same commercial success as acts that followed in its path. The Ramones officially retired in 1996. The band's singer, Joey Ramone (ne Jeff Hyman), died in 2001 of lymphatic cancer, while bassist Dee Dee Ramone (Douglas Colvin) died from a drug overdose the following year. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 15:46:53 -0400 From: Jenny Grover Subject: [loud-fans] aimee/some guy named scott Mark Staples went to Aimee's show a couple nights ago and got to talk to her afterwards.

If you go to , you'll see some relatively recent stuff: "Rome..." came out last year, I believe (and he's in pretty fine form). - ------------------------------- ...Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com/ :: Solipsism is its own reward :: :: --Crow T.

Her list is banking on an album from her late this year/early 2005. What a trip it would be if this album were dropped and no one on her list was expecting it. I'd love it.
