Well, I am so totally obsessed with the Squirrel Nut Zippers. I had a Ben dream before, but last night i had a real vivid SNZ dream. it was better than the Ben dream, i must say. So i've seen the band 5 times, made 4 bootlegs, met them 4 times....ooooh my infatuation grows every day. And it's not infatuation for the guys (or girl) in the band, either. It's totally about the music. It's like they can do no wrong. Their music is so good...like, i've always had an appreciation for jazz and swing, being raised with great musical taste, but now that they make it availible to be seen LIVE, and to have fresh stuff, not to mention a wide variety of styles within one album, they have got to be the best damn band ever. They are all nice people, as well. Always willing to chat after a show, never turning down an autograph. Sweet, soft-spoken (well, cept for Tom and Ken) and filled with southern politeness. I am really upset at myself for getting high before their columbus concert. I could never understand why people drink or toke before or during a concert. Now i know why it pisses me off. I hardly remember the damn thing. I remember seeing them come out and being like "oh, well there are the zippers"...and then because i was having a bad trip (i'm sure) i fucked up the bootleg i was making and now the whole night is just gone...so, my point to this, is that if you get sloshed or high before a concert, i suggest staying home. you suck. i suck :( Is this what it's like to be catholic? "father i have sinned. I worship false gods. I do not treat my body as a temple." there, i feel better. Please revel with me, all the while condemming my bad habits :( Jess PS the trip to columbus wasn't all a waste tho. I bought some Nat Sherman Mints for cheaper than in Cleveland, and picked up a J, LC album. Not sure how i like it yet. plus some more musical goodies. Hurrah. *********************************************************** I'm not just naked, I'm Naked for Jesus!!! * --+-READ THE SHRUBBERY-+-- * http://www.theshrubbery.prohosting.com --New Every Month- -Humor, Music, News and More-- *********************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Nov 1998 09:13:59 EST From: Keyserdan1@aol.com Subject: Broke-Ass CMJ CD's That story sucked about the broken CD whoever that was.

I thought this was a funny voice mail that I received today: "Hi Ginger, this is Joe Caparo..." Hee hee. Too funny that he called me. I'm so tempted to ask him where Darren's girlfriend is.

Ahhh.. i just love Simon & Garfunkel hey, jess ain't the only one dreamin' of SNZ. i had one about them the summer between my freshman and sophomore year (97). it was just after "Hot" went gold, and i dreamt i was at the Virgin Megastore in Paris (not that i've even been there) -- it was gorgeous. all marble and columns. much nicer than your average Megastore. and i was sittin up on one of the raised listening stations and i look over and Tom is sitting next to me. and i'm like "hey, tom! congratulations on going gold!" and he gives me a high five and we chatter abotu stuff and i congratulated him on getting married too (which he had just done as well). so there's my SNZ dream. my ears are plugged. i hate having a head cold. i think some chips and diet coke will help. ahhh yes, much better. oh yo la tengo on the stereo. rawk. well, fall is here. well not HERE in Los Angeles.. we don't know what seasons are. but i can tell it's here because my hair has become a next of staticiness. (or is that stat-icky-ness?). it starts disobeying me and just lifting right off my head like i'm holding on to one of those globe thingies with the electricity that they have in the Sharper Image that you're not supposed to touch. So Sarah, my roommate, is going to the Velvet Goldmine premiere tonight. i'm not wetting myself that i'm not going because there's no hope of Ewan McGregor showing up. Christian Bale's supposed to be there and Sarah LOVES him. she knows all the songs in Newsies. She said that when they talk to him she may just click her heels together and say "Swing Heil!" in that melodramatic way that that little kid did at the end of Swing Kids. But next week is "Meet Joe Black" and "I Still Know," and i'm going to go to both of those. if Seth Green is at the "I Still Know" premiere we'll go to the after party (cause my friend Erik knows him) and i'm going to take a big hat pin with me to see if i can't deflate Jenniver Love's boobs. look for my face to be on the cover of the Inquirer on thursday morning. well, i do believe i should get cracking on my reading for my Hitchcock paper. it consists of OVER ONE THOUSAND pieces of criticsm on Hitch's work. what a load of hooey. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Big Fat Goalie!!" ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #297 *********************************
