Also, I have never seen worse product shots. Sprint, UPS, Metlife, Blockbuster, Kodak and Charlie's Tuna should all be ashamed. OH, and finally, let's talk about that BFF feature. . .ok, so (like you said, Scott) you can't even tell it's them unless you know ahead of time, and then they get relegated to a "background radio play" spot! Cheesy Poof Daddy got subway play, dammit. My Ben-obsessed brain got working though, I have to admit. Let's look carefully at the scene: Ben Folds Five is a pop group made conveniently accessible to the public when their song "Brick" hit the airwaves - a song about the unplanned pregnancy and subsequent abortion of the protagonist's girlfriend from years past. Their song "Air" is featured in Godzilla as it plays in a convenience store in which Matthew Broderick buys pregnancy tests and has an unplanned encounter with his girlfriend from years past. oh, and Lincoln had a vice president named Johnson, or something like that. woohoo! I can't wait for the sequel. . .oh no wait -- I CAN. for a LONG LONG time, I will be able to wait. as long as they would like me to, I will wait. really. - -Hannah p.s. Matthew, the list is a-coming. I just gotta listen to it in the car on my way to Ben tomorrow and refresh my memory as to what I really liked. Oh, and MC Hammer is fine, as long as it's not Spin that Wheel! (or if it is, really. I'm sure I'll react the same no matter what song it is. ..) - ------------------------------------------ Hannah Kuhlmann - kuhl0025@tc.umn.edu **FLASHY BEN FOLDS FIVE WEBSITE** AT http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/1094/ - ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 May 1998 04:03:48 -0500 (CDT) From: LaRubia@bigfoot.com (Carrie) Subject: I love Hannah, in case y'all didn't know Any Dork I've Done Ate Snot.

Hannah is the greatest mofo around. "I am a bright, bright shining star" has crept into my vocabulary forever since the fateful night of my viewing of the great film that is "Boogie Nights".

This is eerie...." >> Hey there FL, I couldn't agree with you more. I have seen Joe Jackson live twice, and see many similarities. I have mentioned a couple of times how I would love to hear Ben cover "Real Men". (He said it was worth considering...) Anyway, a couple of years ago, I was reading an article on Ben, and as always, the interviewer asks the "why 5" question. Ben proceeds to give this story: Well, I originally wanted to call the band the "Joe Jackson 5", sort of a midway between Joe Jackson and the Jackson 5, but then I decided to use my name instead. I thought you might get a kick out of that. Sorry I haven't posted in ages. Hope everyone is well out in RF land, and enjoying the BFF as they hit your town.

(and deadline for the doorprizes) Hi folks :-) Just wanted to again say thanx to all those that contributed to the fund raiser for the new smoe.org hardware :-) As Jeff Wasilko posted yesterday, over $3500 thus far has been sent in and he is installing a new $4600 system this weekend. Also, as he said I am still accepting donations towards this cause, as we did fall about a grand short of the final cost (not to mention Jeff pays the $150+ a month operating costs....so I myself wouldn't mind seeing us foot the whole bill for the hardware :-) Also, also - I'd like to announce that the deadline for me to receive donations where you would be eligible for one of the door prizes is next weekend, as I am going to randomly pick the winners next Sunday May 31st, meaning donations I receive in the mail by next Saturday the 30th will be eligible. No matter if you donated one dollar or two-hundred fifty dollars, you have an equal chance for any of the prizes. (All of the door prizes are Jewel related) In addition to a bunch of Jewel key chains & Jewel pins, I have the seven Jewel autographed items listed below (at the end of this email). These items were autographed by Jewel herself, not some stamp, not another person, not some machine. (People have been asking me if her presigned poetry books that are available at various Virgin Megastore bookstores around the USA were actually signed by her....that I cannot answer, as I don't have an answer) I might add that the odds of winning one of these autographed items isn't too bad, since as of this moment there's only been 145 donations sent in. So the odds right now are just a tad over 20-1. To donate, send cash, check or money order. PLEASE make out any checks or money orders to Jeff Wasilko. Send donations to: Mike Connell PO Box 1206 Binghamton NY 13902-1206 This is the last time I'll be ringing that bell :-) Again, I wish to thank all of you who have donated already, all who may soon do so, and all of you who belong to any smoe.org mailing list, as it is the people and their love of the artists' music that make these lists special :-) To see what artists mailing lists exist for on smoe.org, check out http://www.smoe.org/lists cybernetly yours, Mike :-) P.S. If you are new to any of these lists and want more info on this fund raiser, just email me privately and I'll send you copies of my previous posts, and/or answer any questions you may have. *************************************************************************** THE DOOR PRIZES THE DOOR PRIZES THE DOOR PRIZES *************************************************************************** (In addition to a bunch of Jewel key chains and pins) The seven autographed items are (each individually awarded) a) Two twenty page, full of pictures, full color Jewel lyric books autographed in gold ink on the front cover. These are the same books that were being sold at last summers' Lilith Fair and Jewel's 1997 Fall Tour. b) Two sets of five 5x7 semi-glossy color photo packs, with the first picture autographed in gold ink. The pictures and lyric book can be viewed here: http://www.jeweljk.com/catalog1164/catalog.htm c) TWO of Jewel's ten times platinum Pieces Of You CD, with the insert autographed in gold ink. d) This is the top prize, especially to the collectors out there! A brand spanking new autographed in gold ink, RARE promotional CD, commonly known as "Phyllis Barnaby Finally Gets A Bra". It's a 4 track "You Were Meant For Me" promo CD that is pretty much impossible to find now a days. In fact, I myself consider it harder to find than her other promo CD "Save The Linoleum". The 4 tracks are an unreleased version of You Were Meant For Me (known as the Juan Patino version), and three other unreleased tracks Cold Song, Rocker Girl and Emily (although all three have subsequently been released on the vinyl version of Pieces Of You) * The Patty Griffin/Mad-Mission@smoe List Homepage is at: * http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup/pattyg/pattyg.htm * * The Jewel EveryDay Angels List Homepage & Guide is at: * http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup * * aka DuckOfPrey@aol.com WhyADuck55 on AOL Instant Messenger ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #133 *********************************
