I hear you, Brother. I had a car broken into a while back. Some little scumbag tried to steal it, failed, and so decided that if he couldn't have it, then neither should I - he set about destroying it - wrecked the door, pulled out all the electrics, bent the steering wheel, ripped up the seats... I went to the cop-shop where a disinterested plod the wrote incident in a big book of crimes and put that book on a shelf. Case closed. My blood still boils at the injustice of it all. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 12:02 AM Subject: OV: OT: why do some people suck? Well I was feelin' pretty good Sunday - it's always nice to hear that people like your music (and good to hear that they're buying it too!) and so this recent burst of comments had me in a good mood. I took an afternoon train from the bucolic suburb of Geneva, IL down to the wilds of Chicago to have dinner with my father, his wife and my two step-sisters (one of whom is in town from NYC). Dinner was wonderful and I caught the last train back to Geneva. Upon our (late) arrival back in the burbs, I walked to my car in the parking lot across the street. I noticed a black plastic half-bowl shape on the ground. I thought it was perhaps part of a broken and discarded "leprachaun" hat (the South Side Irish parade had happened in Chicago earlier in the day, and it's a popular thing for burbanites to catch the train down to join in the festivities, which basically involves drinking heavily). As I got closer to my vehicle, I saw something was amiss... or should I say, a-missing.! Namely my driver's side mirror - which upon further investigation WAS the half-bowl I had seen moments earlier. Okay, maybe somebody drove through the parking lot and clipped off my mirror by accident, but left the scene without a note or anything. Then I noticed that the passenger side mirror was gone too... and both of my tailights were partially smashed... and one of my windshield wiper arms had been ripped off. I called the cops, they came and filled out a report. The officer asked me if I knew anyone who would want to do this to me - someone who had a beef with me, an ex-girlfriend or co-worker who I didn't get along with. I didn't though, I was either the victim of random vandalism or intentional vandalism by someone who mistook my vehicle for their intended victim. Either one leaves me feeling no better about the kind of people who would do such a thing. Needless to say, this puts a crimp in my wallet and as a result is going to delay my new album a bit longer. Maybe I'll change the title from WAITING ROOM to SOME PEOPLE SUCK... Hope your day is going better than mine, Dave ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 09:35:59 EST From: LRush23204@aol.com Subject: Re: OV: RE: oppositeview-digest V7 #24 In a message dated 3/10/2005 9:59:42 AM Central Standard Time, crgsgg55@bellsouth.net writes: I never think of you without remembering the boom box under the table at the Duke of Perth.

In the section above the one Darren quoted, it lists what it considers "content," including music, photographs, etc. However, it does include "information" which they must use to mean anything we type. It certainly is sad and scary that we have no right to privacy with AIM. Until next time... Hmmm anyone hear of the Patriot Act?? Privacy with AIM .. is only peanuts in the grand scheme of things..... I've been wanting out of AOL for ages, and my main provider is not AOL, but I've kept it because my daughter uses it, and my OV mail comes through AOL, I've just been too lazy to change the OV mail to my main charter one, as the only reason I open up AOL is to get the OV mail. and to connect with my best friend.

I think you've gotta worry about any person that REALLY likes Roll To Me ... no wonder he didn't like the rest of their stuff. One line of wisdom from him though "What is up with A&M records that they didn't treat their band as an international band?" I also think he appeared to like more of the songs than he let on in his star rating. Oh, is this also possibly the first time that the dels have been likened to Blink 82???? I mean really, I can't ever see Blink 82 having done a song like Not Where It's At.

Hope you are all well. I was just surfing around Amazon.co.uk, and noticed they have a Dels DVD on sale soon. It's release date is 28th March. Looks like the Universal-Island studio are just cashing in as they have used an old photo of the band as on the cover, plus the running time is a massive 41 minutes! They obviously aren't expecting big things as it's price is a measly #6.99 Interesting all the same... _http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007NOL2I/qid=1111000467/sr=1-2/re f =sr_1_10_2/202-3485508-5679065_ (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007NOL2I/qid=1111000467/sr=1-2/re f=sr_1_10_2/202-3485508-5679065) Anyway, take care until my next post, which is scheduled to be around 2009.

He spends an awful lot of time and effort dissecting an album which, in his mind, shouldn't have been compiled in the first place. What's his motivation? His tone is so flip that he must be a really insecure guy to start with. Wouldn't trust his "epinions" on anything. ;-) rw >From: Andrew Douglas >To: Ov >Subject: Re: OV: Bad review... >Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 18:40:32 +0000 > >I think you've gotta worry about any person that REALLY likes Roll To >Me ... no wonder he didn't like the rest of their stuff.

Thanks for the heads up. At 41 minutes, that can only be 8 videos maximum - does anyone want to guess what they are? For what it's worth, I'd say: Nothing Ever Happens Kiss This Thing Goodbye Always The Last To Know When You Were Young Roll To Me Not Where It's At Cry To Be Found Just Before You Leave I'd really like Some Other Sucker's to be on there seeing as it was left off Hatful of Rain. And I'd really like remixed Dolby DTS or 5.1 sound. But hey, a girl can dream can't she?

Hey! I take offence to that. I love Roll to Me! Speaking as someone who was only twelve when it came out, I never would have heard of the Dels if it hadn't been for that song. Of course, I love all their other songs, too. I don't give this reviewer much credit. I mean, he criticizes Roll to Me constantly yet admits that he loves it? And speaking as someone who was forced to listen to Blink 182 throughout her teenage years, I gotta say that anybody who knows what a typical Blink 182 song sounds like is someone who is seriously lacking in good musical taste. Just like anybody who doesn't like the Dels.
