Did you know that it's $950/night to rent the penthouse at the Argyle Hotel on Sunset Blvd.? well it is. apparently our dreams of celebrating my 21st birthday trashing a hotel room in a blitzed out state just like Leo and his possee have been thwarted by sticker shock. damn. as for the Craiggers/Jon Stewart debate.... i must say Craig had a better delivery that was only hightened by his smug smarminess, but I've been in love with Jon Stewart since he hosted Short Attention Span Theatre with Lizz Winstead (and we all know she was one of the creators of Yo' Daily) on Comedy Central waaaaay back in the day. but now he has better hair and rowr! and now i have to hit the hay because i have to get up at 8:30. sucky. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "We have a crisis!"

Yep. I am really serious about this, I want this to happen! We can have an office in NYC and an office in LA. Its going to be great. And thats all I have to say.

Kristin, #1 - please forgive me for not keeping up (on the bandwidth line). I am a bad man for slacking, but I also want to say I have been gone a tad also. #2 - You are right. 97X loves to play requests. I found the site, listened for a bit, then requested POE. He played it one song after I emailed him, and he played a kick-ass live track that I had not heard before. So this is my third netradio station I have surfed to. WFNX in Boston is A+, as is WBRU in Providence. Kristin rocks. Eric rocks just for living near her, although, he rocks in his own right. I have a TERRIBLE cold/flu bug. Knockin me down. hard. Just wanted to say that until BefFE comes out with their next offering, you guys can make this whatever list you want. Topics already been discussed: Dating, Rufus, Elliot, dating, those funky shoes, and dating. whoops. forgot we also talk about ben. and his tent. he pitched a tent. heh heh. stay healthy. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 16:50:44 -0500 From: jaedonely@juno.com Subject: WFNX Hey you, (all o' you) I must give the mad props to WFNX, but not totally mad, because they recently switched to formatted, which means more yicky eve 6 and they just began playing dave matthews and alanis, satisfying the proletariat... but they are a great station, truly a treat and we're lucky. Plus, Im slightly in cahoots with one of the djs. And Ive won so many prizes...a palm reading, cure/cranberries/silverchair/sex pistols/horde tickets, plus cds. And they definetly play new stuff first. Altho' not enough indie fun for my taste. But theyre all over roni size and other obscure eletronica fun. ~Elisabeth ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I'm so sorry for impersonality and all, but midterms are next week. I have no time. And I check my mail and I see Suzanners quoting Jay-Z and my heart gets all mushy and shit, so I feel the urge to interrupt my "How many classes can Dan fail?" week to respond. And, oy, is there a lot to respond to. First off. Lizpoll. 1. They rock so hard because they're ska, dammit. Seriously. I was listening to a Less Than Jake boot in Brian's car on Monday (while I was at Virginia's; we went to Radio Shack to buy an infrared receiver) and it hauled ass. More power to those who keep their ska-ness on the d.l. 2. OK. As previously discussed, I am a closet rap junkie. Here goes. And lyrics.ch has been shut down by the federal authorities (keep it real...go to their site, read the article, contact the police...this site needs to be there), so you know this is legit. The song- "Deja Vu" by Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz "I'm New York to the spot where I've love for all, lie and die in the fire where I learned to ball, uptown is the place where I lay me dough, on the streets of the Bronx where my family flows..." Heh. I'm on a real 2pac kick now too...I think "Do For Love" was one of the more overlooked songs of 1998. 3. Antoine. I'm all about Antoine. 4. Hoss (this kid in my English class) has a Dr. Grip, and that hauls ass, but I really dig my Parker ballpoint. Or the Cross pencil I got for Christmas. Yeah. Nothing like 14k gold. 5. Craig. That "Antichrist" bit by Stewart was classic, but let's face it. The Five Questions defined that show, and those were all Craig's. And, as Courtney says, the smugness was what did it. Stewart is a trained comedian. Craig Kilborn used to be on Sportscenter. That's the difference as well; Kilborn was doing it shooting from the hip. BenCon 99 debate fueling up again? I'm going to put in the lone dissenting vote for my backyard in Liverpool, NY. Seriously. We can have a ghetto luau. The RF until the new album should be a list devoted to sexy penguins. As I've said, while I'm proud as I can be of subscribing to X mailing list, I think it mitigates the whole fun of it (and the sometimes chaotic atmosphere here) to do something like that. If you've read the MA this week, it's BORING AS FUCK! Sorry. It is. I _reeeeallly_ hope something comes up and everyone realizes how uninteresting it is to read 9000 ideas for a black t-shirt with a picture of a piano in an armchair on the front. And that binary file? Sheesh. It's Metal Mania week/day/thing on VH-1 currently. Motley Crue was on Behind the Music and "This is Spinal Tap", the greatest rock-and-roll movie of all time, is on at 9 EST. Check it out. Anyway, I wanna be a rock star. I want to wear a codpiece and grow my hair down to my ass and light myself on fire every night. I want loads of women who don't give a shit what my real name is. I want to name my band Deathtongue and put two dots over the O (obscure Bloom County reference). I know it's called an umlaut. I want lots of drugs, lots of alcohol, big fat dudes as my bodyguards, and a fucked-up guitar player. I want a drum kit like Peter Criss. I want my speakers to go up to 11. And then I want to get messed up, go into rehab, and appear on Hard Copy with my tattoos and my girlfriend and say how I've repented. Damn right. Who wants to be in my band? I'm going to grab some chow, maybe head on IRC to pimp out for a while, and watch my movie. Peace out. ~Dan "Armadillos, baby. Armadillos." ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 22:42:45 EST From: SHAP99@aol.com Subject: ooooouuuuuucccch O-U-C-H OUCH!!!!!! I got a chain thing-ama-jig put on my braces yesterday!! THIS HURTS MORE THAN WHEN I GOT THEM ON!! It hurts to eat apple sauce!!! ahg!!! the worst part is i gotta suffer through the pain during exam week!!!!! I think I did well on my Am. Gov't exam and my Spanish too, but today my English exam was impossible... well to me at least. My teacher gave us the essay questions and i went home and outlined them but then I start writing during th exam and i realized that my essays really sucked... not a good thing. Luckily my teacher left after winter break. I now have a new teacher to dislike. Her classroom is draped with black curtains and she has those outlines of dead people like you see on the road when theres an accident all over her room.... creeeeeepy well, i got my rufus cd to cheer me up... i love that cd!!! In other news... i found a nice way to get little kids to stop annoying me, but it only works in certain situations. I was riding home with my friend who also brings home her brother and sister in 4th grade. Strangely..I had never met them before... well, my friend told them I was deaf and i put on my earphones and started to listen to my rufus cd. then they asked their sister why i was listening to music if i was deaf and she told them i use earphones as ear warmers which they believed... (I live in Florida and it was in the 70's today) well anyways, then they started jumping around the car and calling me some names because they thought i couldn;t hear but they tired themselves out and then got quiet. Well, when I got out of the car my friend and i started talking about exams and her brother and sister stared at me and just dropped their jaw. it was so funny. My friend said "oh my god!! YOU CAN HEAR!!!its a miracle!!!!" and well... it was funny.. you really had to be there... uhhh.... hehe well i shouldnt be up this late considering i have a math exam tomorrow...hehe lov ya - --->jez ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 00:34:20 -0500 From: jaedonely@juno.com Subject: My love for Shirley Im sorry, this is long. But catchy. Im a free woman, and I have to get out of the habit of posting on the files multiple times in a day. Bad! Bad! But my exams are finis, and I rocked them down to a nub. This is good. This ensures college/future/ ROCK! When I study for exams, I usually fixate on one cd. Version 2.0 is perfect for studying-and I dont know why. And when I listen to Shirely Manson, I feel all confident and beautiful and girly. But throw me in front of a cute guy at a store and it goes to shed. Gotta work on that. But isnt Wicked Ways one of the best songs to listen to while jumping around, pogoing in front of the mirror? I am so disappointed that I missed them on their club tour..now theyre with Alanis, at the el sucko lacks character Fleet Center. Yick Why is an ugly ass mofo like Rob Zombie (and like, Marilyn Manson. Dont need to see a picture of him. And why havent Garbage gotten an RS cover? )on the cover of Rolling Stone while the wimmen gots to be nekkid? Wrong! Wrong! Bring me the head of Joseph Finnes! I fell in love today with several things-there is a gorgeous cranberry dress that I must have. Im fixating on it. And I went to this lovely cafe, The Other Side cafe, and it was gloriously funky, and they were blasting Black Love by the Afghan Whigs. Now I realize why I dont always listen to them, ESPECIALLY in public. Shit, they do something to me. Im not sure what. But I react! I was pyscho-perky-giddy. I went to a poetry reading tonight. Finally inspired me to write, but dammit!! You gotta have a certain amount of palpable ego to be a writer, and to be a good one, you need to learn how to filter out the shit. But its what I want out of life. Oh, oh, oh, spaking of writing, damm, how much do 90% of lyrics suck suck suck?! Thats why Ive been digging Garbage-definetly a certain level of intelligence behind their stuff-Elliott Smith is a good lyricist. James write great lyrics. Some other bands though, stupid shit. I love Malibu by whole though. Maybe its because the tune is so pretty, but Courtney can take all these overused borderline cliche stuff and make it quality. I can't. And what teenager doesnt write about stars and angels and oceans? ~Elisabeth ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
