Air Making out like rock stars Re: Craiggers and such ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 28 May 1998 10:39:11 -0400 From: Anne Lyons Subject: Merrily we roll along... Hey all! >It's been said before, by many a person, but let it be said again: one >does NOT MOSH to Ben Folds Five. >i'm not saying that something should be said >whenever there's crowd surfing going on or whatever, but when things are out >of control and people are getting hurt, it would be nice. Sandi and Eric: Actually, I'm thinking that I am going to start moshing everywhere I go. I mean, c'mon! Doesn't everyone like a good kick in the head or an elbow to the groin? Hey man... it's the only way to show how fed up I am with the world... I mean it's only my ennui rising up and manifesting itself as a flailing body. It's just an expression of my soul -- to punch you in the head. And anyway... who gives you the right to stop me from harming others? I am so pro-moshing that I am just going to start up a pit everywhere I go. I think I may start moshing at the 4th of July extravaganza at the Hatch Shell in Boston to the strains of the orchestra. How cool would that be? I'd just be running around up front, slamming into guys and gals, lowering my shoulder and charging the elderly, picking up toddlers and throwing them to the grass, kicking pregnant women in the womb -- and what are these chicks thinking? Bringing another human into the world who will only contribute to the downfall of society, man... that's just inexcusable. My actions are just a shout to the heavens that this world is all f*cked up and I for one will dole out as much pain in suffering as I am able to get all of you people back for dealing me these cards. I mean, who wants to be a young white suburbanite slob? This life sucks, man... and I intend to get my revenge by moshing on elevators and subways and supermarkets and oh yeah... most of all, BFF concerts. Because inflicting injuries on myself is too easy... I'd rather incite someone else to do it for me. So let's all chug some Surge and some Jolt, drop some NoDoze and hit the BFF/Beck shows. Their music incites me to new highs of violence. F*ck Metallica man... have you ever heard Selfless, Cold and Composed... that is just an anthem to rioting, right? And in the spirit of Eric's Joygasms... SARGASM! >**don't send me nasty email in reference to this post because i don't care if >you disagree** Ahhhh.. Sandi, m'dear... you are on the RF... we'll collectively kick the ass of anyone who dares send you a less than reverential e-mail pertaining to moshing! We'll find out the next show they are attending and we'll have ConBENtion Returns simply to mosh them to death! Hannah and Carrie and I would even use Thighs of Death as a triple threat! Seriously... I *am* sorry to hear that you got battered and bruised... but the BFF/Beck shows should be nicer (I'm thinking the crowd might skew older & more accomodating?). Are you hitting SPAC? Lemme know... >"It's all part of spring tradition. The flowers bloom, Stallone puts out a >bad movie, and the Sonics lose in the first round" Spencer... thank you so much for reminding us how funny Craiggers was on ESPN. He will be sorely missed. >and not to be piggish, but we will need many women of child- >bearing age to accompany us to insure the further growth of our new nation. >are you with me? I'm with you Matthew! My fingernails are clean of all polish... I am a young woman of childbearing age... I can be very angry when necessary... I look good in green khakis, tight camoflage shirts and black boots... When can I get a gun? Can I be the chick with the bazooka? Pleasepleaseplease can I blow things up? Can we open fire at the mosh pit? Later! - -Anne "Been down one time Been down two times I'm never going back again" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 May 1998 07:34:39 -0700 From: "Kamp, Marcus S" Subject: Kilbie & Militarism I know this has nothin' to do w/BFF, but I don't give 2 shytes...It's so hard to believe that His Craigliness is walkin' away. He makes that show! Well, him & Beth Littleford anyway! (The Littleford Files?!) For those of you interested, he answers 20 questions in this months Playboy. He BAREs some cool facts, like the beginnings of 5 Questions, Janeane's SEXual fantasies, and his love of women. MATT: Sign me up for the Militant Nation of Old Folders!!! Maybe Anne can confiscate the guns of that punk @ the high school where she works & supply us all!

Just thought y'all would like to know that Joe Caparo's new band, the Doleful Lions, has a new cd out. It's supposed to be pretty good, so ask around for it! (On Parasol Records, BTW) So sad to hear about Phil Hartman! :( Ginger Ooooo Ginger Nance ( ) ginger_nance@unc.edu ) ( http://www.unc.edu/~gnance (o) GO HEELS!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 May 1998 17:02:36 -0400 (EDT) From: Eric Patton Subject: Air I just eralized that I never posted my little take on Air. Well, admittedly, it wasn't a masterpiece or anything, there wasn't as much heart put into it as some of Ben's other stuff, but it wasn't a bad song. Just a song blatantly written for money. Anyway, I gotta cut this short. Laters all!

Chicago... We were the only ones freaking out in the pavilion part. Some even ventured to say we were more entertaining than the band...raise the roof and hold it girls. We *frocked* out. Somerset... Sucked. It was completely a mess. We all feel really bad for Hannah and her friend. We had our little area where we duly freaked out for the brief set...shorter (ha) than even the Chicago set. I don't know. We entertained ourselves with the beer tent and the antics of Scott's son. Too much drama on the high seas for my taste. However, we were able to salvage the day with the trip to the store...*oh shit*. Mmmmbop... I agree with Eric that Grand Rapids is the final resting place for strip malls. It was a long day. I was working... The crowd was out of control, and if any certain blonde fatty left there with a bloody nose...good. That's all I have to say. It's pretty bad when you have more fun schelping shirts than watching the band. Not even a beer shower slowed down the mayhem. I don't know. It was out of control. And everybody knew it was...thanks. So, it seems like the DSST has ended for this year. All in all, I think we three had a great time. And it isn't *weird* at all...

Craiggers is leaving the Daily Show. >> Don't be sad! He is headed to a major network! He will be taking over Tom Snyder's spot following David Letterman. This means that you will be able to see our beloved Craiggers even when you go to stay out of town with your wierd family who is so out of touch that they don't have cable. (Or if you go to Kansas) BENTENT: I just got a hold of an old CD-rom called Launch (it's a "magazine" sort of thingy you view on the computer). It is interactive and has a live performance in my home town of Tempe, AZ (Yes, I was there!) and interview. It's hysterical. You click on the boys, and they give you little interview bits. I understand that it is still available, so if you want it, it is Launch CD ROM Issue #14 with Sarah McLachlan on the cover. Address: PO Box 54041 Boulder, CO 80322-4041 Cheers!
