Thanks for the tip, and >RealPlayer rules! did you listen to my show? =-) I have the Alice Childress Family hour. What music did you here? What did you hear me talk about?? Wow, that is so cool that people actually listened! IT was the coolest thing, my best friend who now (unfortionatly) lives in NJ called in!! So did a friend in Michigan! and I was most surprised whem a random person from Minnesota called. Turns out he used to go to the UA and used to be in KAMP. So, we are talking forever as I'm doing my DJ stuff, and it *IS* a small world, because my best friend in the whole wide world, Nate, used to talk about this guy Rob, how they were best friends, but Rob moved and they only emailed sometimes now... but I mention a friend Nate who is doing a study abroad in France, and Rob is like "Nathan... " and starts saying all this stuff about Nate!!! Turns out they were best friends before Nate met me and Rob moved away!!!!!1 AND! as if that weren't enough, a few years ago we were on the same ML and didn't know it. Plus, we emailed some of the same people, and were email pals with them. And yet I didn't know Rob! Crazy!! Anyway, listen to my show. 10pm - 12am Pacific Time on Mondays. http://kamp.arizona.edu I played B&S, BFF, Jellyfish, Braid, Bedhead, and tons of other stuff. I had such a great show, I had such a great time. Call in if you listen and have a few bucks to spare on long distance! Courtney, I'll be listening tommorow!

Went to the urban Legens premiere on thursday. did i mention this already? well, we were there to cover it for my friend's tv show here at school and it was fun. i played the role of battery girl. meaning, i held onto the extra battery and tape and the rest of the time stood around in my leather jacket looking liek one of "them." if you haven't seen, Jared Leto's hair is WHITE. he looks like an albino. even his eyebrows are dyed. scary scary scary. and his brother and friends are all big spazzes. they were walking down the red carpet with a video camera and pointing it at us an babbling incoherently. WEIRDOS! and Michael Rosenbaum, who's like, the poor man's jamie kennedy, is a big spazz too. but in a good way. he's QUITE cute in person. hot-cha! not to mention he and my friend erik are on good terms, so booyah! and whoa, we talked to Robert Englund FOREVEr. he sure can spin a yarn. but the coolest thing of the night is that Mike Figgis, who directed Leaving Las Vegas had a Hi-8 camera set up right next to us in the press section and everyone was asking him what he was doin all night, and he was less than forthcoming. but when we were breaking everything down later, we struck up a conversation with him and he told us he's filming a documentary. and he was just really cool. totally nice, and then later while we were waiting to talk to the PR person from teh studio, he was on his way out and stopped to say goodbye, which was just cool and a nice thing of him to do. so that was my thursday. rawk. friday i got my hair cut. not a lit, but i had the back evened out, and now it's shorter and real cute. just a smidge about chin length. then we ate... and went to Virgin again. i swear, i should take up a timeshare there. i bought Rialto. they're british. big surprise. i like it so far. saturday we went to see Permanent Midnight, which i like a lot. Ben Stiller really really did well. he stretched himself. I loved the scene where he's hallucinating and Alf storms into the bathroom. you know, i'm only 3 degrees away from jerry Stahl. (the guy who's life the movie is based on). My pseudo ex, Eric knows Cybill Shepherd (dated her daughter) who worked with jerry Stahl. go me. well that was completely useless. i'm tired. i have to go to chemistry in the morning. bite me. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Can...open!

I miss you. :) Just keep reminding me that you are a baseball goddess as I suffer through the annual September Swoon (tm). And for the rest of you (and Anne, you can read along as well), I've just started the funniest book ever. Entitled "Pure Drivel," by Steve Martin....yes, THAT Steve Martin. And ever since I started it a few hours ago at work (and in the car at stoplights on the way to and from work...yes, I'm a freakazoid), I've wanted to share a bit with someone. And there you are. From the chapter "Changes in Your Memory After Fifty": Let's say you've just called your best friend, Joe, and invited him to an upcoming birthday party, and then, minutes later, you call him back and invite him to the same party again. This does not mean you are losing it, or not playing with a full deck, or not all there, or that you're eating with the dirigibles or shellacking the waxed egg or looking inside your own mind and finding nothing there, or any of the demeaning epithets that are said about people who are peeling an empty banana. It does, however, mean that perhaps Joe is no longer on the list of things you're going to remember. This is Joe's fault. He should have a more memorable name, such as El Elegante. Y'all have a great day! Take care, Jay ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Sep 1998 18:59:37 +0930 From: helen Subject: baby got back i read this and worry i knwo most he wrods >Woah!

I could quite possibly post twice today. I just feel so, well, juiced this morning. Maybe the NIN which is filling my desktop speakers, and making my *new* co-workers look at me in a *new* way. And, btw, posting twice wouldn't be new to the RF, as I see a trend of multi-postings by the same people developing (as each RF soap opera continues, like the sands of time, yadda, blah, hoo-ahh...) 'Coons. This makes me think of the line in the "Ride Along Program." [RAP] >>"Oh great, now there's a ferret in my lap."<< I think Ben, Robert and Darren would be great for a RAP spot. (Doncha just love the acronym for that) They could be playing brick in the back of J. Gordon's car, and Gordon would be like, "hey, this has been bugging me forever. What in the world is that song about." And Ben would be all, "uh, jeff, it's about you winning the Brickyard." And then Jeff would be all, "I'm a Brick and they're drowning slowly..." Or maybe I have been taking too many *mints* lately... I _did_ see the spot on vinyl police on VH1, and I must say it is always so darn cool when you see truck drivers singing BeFeFe, much less Brick. Spencer is, by the by, one cool, kick-ass mofo. Bow before him. Kiss his ring. He is rapidly approaching Markus achievements. Some of you on the list know too much about rap music. I had a dream about Fjords last night, but I can't remember a lick about it. The word was quite DOMINANT in the dream. There are many Kate's on the list, and well, that just makes me | | \ / \ / \____smile____/ THAT was goofy.... Ben's Fear of Pop is scared to pop out. Darren sings on a compilation CD.

(OK, so I took some liberty with the lyrics.) Ah, yet another cold rainy day in New England. Give me a good ol' midwestern thunderstorm anyday; this drizzly crap depresses me. In Entertainment Weekly's fall music preview, I could find no mention of Fear of Pop; it's a mystery even to them! But now I know exactly when I can storm the stores for the new Bryan Adams and Barry Manilow CDs! I am amassing a small, yet substantial BeFeFe shrine on one of my walls. I've got pictures from basically every magazine ad/interview/blurb I've seen and a neato poster. The centerpiece, of course, would be Darren's drum head thingy I got signed by Mr. Sledge. Am I scary and obsessive, or is this normal behavior? Note: I do not have candles or burning effigies. cheers, Katy (a sometimes Kate, to add to the growing list) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Sep 1998 16:13:37 -0400 From: "Lyons, Anne" Subject: 'Cos you know you know you know you know...

Mar'kckck'us substantiated my dateless situation with: <(Who needs a woman when you've got a pre-pubescent raccoon?!?!?!)> My sentiments exactly. Actually, I may have just about the coolest date in quite a while this Saturday for the University of Tennessee football game against Houston University. She is surely a candidate for the 'ice cream cone/mocking people at the mall' award. FL dumps kudos from a bucket with: For what do I deserve this? I suspect that the Kate sheet music I printed out from the computer in the studio worked out OK. If that's not what this praise is for, then I dunno whassup... BTW, for all of you who remember the RF Real World House, I have a funny little story. HGTV gave me a :30, :20, and :10 promo to do the music for on a show called "Dream House". Well, the way the promo is laid out is to imitate the MTV Real World opening---including the music. HGTV doesn't realize what music I just put on their airwaves tonight. It's the first time I've gotten to add an electric guitar part *with* wah pedal on the final digital mixdown. Hell, I don't even really play guitar. Most of the instruments I just control from a master keyboard connected to the different sound modules in the MIDI suite. Maybe Ben inspired me with that guitar playing on Jackson Cannery in concert--who knows? Anyway, I created .WAV and Mac sound files if any of you have read this far and have the slightest interest in it. Of course, you could always see it on TV--but who the hell knows when a random promo is going to come on? Anyway, I hope everyone's love lives are back to normal.

Whatever. If anything, they serve to document the infamous meeting of the trio that is Sandi, Calvin and me. So, yeah, total plug to read my junk, but you might laugh. So, I'm in KC. Yep. And, somehow I've found my way into the public school system as a Title I Instructional Aide, and I really like it. Weird. Oh, and I may be copyediting for the KC Star, but I haven't decided yet...newspaper people are just not right. Anyway, I guess this marks my re-entry back into this love fest. And, in trying to catch-up, I almost had a boy to talk about, but jerk-boy turned into a pusser. Anyway, I hope you read the stories and have nice things to say...otherwise talk behind my back!

Sleep? Hah! Some of you are thinking: How drunk can she be? Her spelling is perfect! The answer: It's taking a bitchin' long time to do it and I'm using the backspace key like mice use the cocaine lever. I have been posting flyers all over the world for our CWRUpoets group tonight with the following quotes on them: "Let me get to the point er I forgot what it was" - Ginsberg, "only God, my dear, could love you for yourself alone and not your yellow hair" - Yeats, and "Sir, I admit your general rule / That every poet is a fool / But you yourself may serve to show it / That every fool is not a poet" - Coleridge. I like 'em anyhow. The night, at this point, degraded to wine-guzzling merriment. It got all f'n cold here in Cleveland today. I blame... mmm... Erik. I saw a sneak showing of "Clay Pigeons" starring Joaquin Phoenix, Vince Vaughn, and Janeane Garofalo tonight. It kicked serious booty. I don't know when it's being released to mortal humans, but when it is, GO DO IT. Vince Vaughn is the antithesis of attractive for me, but something about him is so completely compelling and magnetic... There is only one scene with both he and Garofalo, and it is like watching the beginning of a prairie fire. Wow. I'm a huge Joaquin fan from his "To Die For" days, too! :-) The only thing that bothers me is that psycho Vince has the same damn laugh as my boyfriend: if it's a little funny, it's a normal pitch, but if he is overtaken by hilarity, it's three octaves higher and giggly. Scary. My life is still easy. Neat. I'm getting to the point where my five-or-six-month BFF dry spell is ending. I can listen to them again and think "Damn. That is some cool sh*t."
