I may just have to steal one somenight as they are only attached with gaffer tape to the sidewalk. When the store opened I grabbed the first copy of tubeworm that I saw (right at the front of the store) and bought it (the free cd is part of it- it's a 2 cd thing) (FIRST FIRST!! mwha ha ha, anyway) they were also playing the album over the speakers, they had huge promotions everywhere, for eg a mannequin dressed as a mountain climber and the words 'who is reinhold messner?' hung around his neck.(oh dear) Plus other cute pics of the guys and frankly it was heaven. I asked if I could put my name down anywhere for the stuff when it came down, but they said no. However, I have a sort of friend who works there and I may just have to bribe him into getting stuff for me. Then I went down to rocking horse and they had one of those yuumy floor posters too, so since they are very cool about people putting their name down for posters I asked if i could and YAY they had to make a new list up and my name is the top one! This means I may possibly score a poster :D Also, the cd is out today not tommorrow as the floor posters say. Obviously. I am now going to listen to my copy of the album. dammit I'm glad I waited. (It makes it so much more special....- now what does that sound like??!!) Ah I love this part of the bff thing. love it. love it love it love itlove it btw I am now a certfied theatre lighting and theatrical special effects person. that's rather funky I think. taves (far far too excited - there is no way I am marking papers today) wooo- hooo!!!! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Apr 1999 05:32:58 GMT From: "tavia -" Subject: oh my g.... tubeworm is blowing me out of the water at the third song.

However, Magic is still great.truly beautiful really. back later taves "I love you, goodbye" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Apr 1999 06:02:50 GMT From: "tavia -" Subject: yeh it's me again I'm listening as i type: I'm praying that 'dont change your plans'doesnt do a brick. I love it too much. It's the selfless, cold and composed of tubeworm. your redneck past is rockin me to my boots as I type, fun song (I bet they'll like that one on JJJ!!) (and prolly other radios) The picture at hmv and rocking horse is the one in the album, btw. 'your most valuable possession ' is bizarre. bizarrrrrrre. I'm going to assume that that is Dean Folds. Having listened to 'your redneck past' adn 'regrets' I get a stronger feeling that Ben is lying to us (and possibly kidding himself) about Underground and OAD not being about himself. He's just too familiar with the whole subject of uncoolness. far too intimate with it, I say. regrets doesnt do heaps for me at present, but I may come to love it even more the way I did less easily loved songs on WAEA (remember that album) 'jane' : awwwww shit I feel like this song was written for me.(which is really sad, but hey I know I'm pathetic) This says all the things i keep trying to tell myself, I may cry. Yep that's a tear. Excuse me. .... Shit. ..... Lullaby. Well I loved this the second i heard it in the store CD previewer and then pulled the head phones off because it ws too beautiful and i didnt want to fall in love with the album, when i couldn't have it immediately. It's soo beautiful. Fortunately I always liked Elton John when he actually played fast songs. make that loved. this is so pwetty. Hey wow some actual funky piano playing, hasnt been enuf of that 'uncle richard, me and james earl jones' my main (only?) gripe with the album at this point is that we dont hear hardly anything of darren and robert (in that order, sorry but I will have my favourites) we need more D and R! actually my other gripe is yes it is more mellow. I guess the compensation is the depth. but i think I need more piano slamming. that said. I love the album. and i apologise for these long and no doubty dull emails. but i have to share or my flatmates will kill me. alot . with big cleaning instruments. ouch. hey there wasnt any talk between the songs either. what is this?? are they trying to be like other bands or soemthing? (as in : dull) bye taves 'jane be jane and if sometimes that might drive them away let them stay there you dont need them anyway' hey an orchestrated theme for dr pyser, cool. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Apr 1999 06:03:47 GMT From: "tavia -" Subject: sorry sorry there's some extra stuff on the live at the wireless stuff on the bonus cd, that jjj must have edited out when they played it on radio last year. anyway. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V2 #136 *********************************
