Aidan Quinn is quite a redeeming quality. and sandra and nicole had nice hair that i was jealous of. ahh! and i'm so happy, Komeda are coming back to L.A. in november and i finally get to see 'em! and i'm going to see the Cardigans too. unfortunately i must miss Built To Spill, Neil Finn and Money mark/Buffalo Daughter because they all fall on wednesday nights and my Hitchcock class is on wednesday nights. blast you, Dr. Casper! oh, and speaking of professors of mine, we were at Breantano's tonight killing time before the movie and i wandered into the film section and i saw the book that my screenwriting professor from last semester wrote. which was neat, because we all had to read it in class and tell him what we didn't like about it. and thanks to my obsessiveness about release dates of films, there's a comment in there that people's mentality being like Rainman. originally it was Forrest Gump, but since the book borrows the form of Rilke's "Letters to an Aspiring Poet" and each letter is dated, and this particular one was dated prior to when Forrest Gump came out. did that make ANY sense? ahh, camp hollywood is coming up and i cannot wait. 3 straight days of dance workshops. i finally get to learn how to lindy. and shag. and balboa. and shim sham. rock me like a hurricane! well, it's LATE, so i shall take my leave of you. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "That couple over there; the husband is having an affair with the babysitter and the wife can eat a poundcake inside of a minute." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Oct 1998 10:25:33 From: *esmerelda98 Subject: Re: Dear God!

Hey Guys, At my work, the Big Party, this stupid store that sells party goods and all sorts of stuff for Halloween (their biggest season) They have a William Shatner mask. Its actually placed by "nail man" and "King of the Vampires" (other "scary" masks) That definetly means something. Yes? Ive been re-listening to Garbages 1st album. Its so good. Is it bad that I kind of like Aqua?( but thats due to my adorable Swedish nieces) I was very proud and happy when a really good percentage of the bands that Courtney mentioned in her post were Swedish. The Cardigans are playing in Boston on Halloween. How fun would that be? I myself am probably going to be working that night. Yuck. Well, Im looking forward to Pleasantville being released. Im also looking forward to the Velvet Goldmine, which could suck, but c'mon! Lovely Ewan McGregor is in it! My birthday is Tuesday, and if this mailing list were a contest, I bet Id beat you all for Most Chaste and Pure Catholic Schoolgirl.=) But its okay to be gettin' none senior year, right? By that time, the 100 or so guys in my class all seem like scary Tommy Hilfiger Puff Daddy spawn o' the devil, and theyve truly lost their charm.

My program was sending stuff in HTML instead of only plain text. Stacey, I'm not on the commitee to get Ben Folds here at Ohio State. I'm trying to find out who I need to contact. I left my name a number for some girl who might know, but you know, this is OSU. I may have to find another route. News: I'm trying to move out of my dorm, which is an impossible process. I'm not sure though, I'll probably just be moving rooms. READ THIS: Guess who e-mailed me? Jeff from Harvey Danger! You, know, the cute guitarist? Not that it's that weird since he knows me by name, BUT, I made up a web-page for the band and he found it. I never mentioned it to him yet but he found it himself. I think he liked my FAQ because he offered to help answer any questions I had for it. So I replied and he e-mailed me AGAIN, this huge-ase message about how they are shooting the video for "Private Helicopter" this weekend. Guess who's directing it? John Flansburgh of TMBG, same director for BEN FOLDS FIVE's SFTD!!!! This video is going to be hilarious! Jeff rules! Harvey Danger rules! John Flansburgh rules! Ben Folds Five rules! Sometimes life just rules.

Produced by Ben Folds and Caleb Southern, both of whom are from Chapel Hill, NC. So on the heels of a critically acclaimed, platinum-selling, culture-affecting Ben Folds Five album, what would spur pianist/composer Ben Folds and producer Caleb Southern to embark on a solo project entitled Fear Of Pop? Boredom? Greed? Unrestrained prolific musical talent? Fear of the unknown? All of the above? Yeah, all of the above. Full of songs that were different than what gets created with Ben Folds Five, Ben Folds and Caleb Southern set out to destruct and rebuild, cajole and swindle, refine and regenerate that simple form of music simply called "pop". No sub-genres or image filled classifications--just a concerted effort to return us to yesteryear's yearnings of delightful, hummable pop songs. Fear Of Pop is the band, Volume I is the album. VOLUME I Produced over the course of six months in Indiana and North Carolina, Fear O Pop Volume I is quite simply: An album of instrumental and spoken word music by Ben Folds. Darting between warped, melancholic, dreamy pop and subtle jocularity, Volume I is an in-joke everyone knows the directions to, easy to digest self-indulgence for all who are even mildly daring. The Ben Folds melodies, post-slacker musings and odes to song styles past are all present. Enhancing the show are the raucous ("I Paid My Money"), the underground ("Kops"), the mesmerizing ("Avery M. Powers Memorial Beltway) and the delectable ("In Love"). Featuring William Shatner (yes, Captain Kirk, TJ Hooker, The Transformed Man), "In Love" may be the gem of all gems--a grooving, half-sane, half-baked rant of relationship gone crooked. Forget about the collectible angle, listen to it for the universal appeal. And then attach that to the rest of the Fear Of Pop listening experience. 10/16/1998 05:57 -by- Tim ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #278 *********************************
