It's a good day... Just a Reminder Take a deep breath... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 03:52:41 EDT From: FieryLox@aol.com Subject: BTE...yah, you'd better freakin' read it! i just wanted to respond to stacy's post about better than ezra...which i REALLY ENJOYING READING! i saw better than ezra three times in the spring, because i wanted to see jude...well...i missed a vast majority of jude's set everytime i went, which still makes me cry... *sob!* but my whole point is this: i planned on just leaving the show in athens, because i was by myself and although i own "deluxe", i wasn't a supafan or anything. well, i stayed anyway...skipping train's set (oh my word, i cannot stand train, they suck eggs, i don't care if jude likes them!)...and better than ezra proceeded to wow the shit out of me. so the next time i saw them...i was kinda peeved by the fact that they played the EXACT same setlist with one change for a fan-requested song from their website. ok...by the third time, it was simply annoying. and that thing that hot-n-unbelievably-sexy kevin griffin did with the dr. sample machine...did that at all three shows, too. :( on top of that, i heard a rumor which jude's camp later confirmed for me...better than ezra has "scouts" who circulate in the crowd and PICK OUT THE HOT GIRLS and invite them on the tour bus. i repeated this little tidbit to the drummer from jump, little children, and he laughed at my naivete and said, "do you think that they're the FIRST?" guess that we who believe in the goodness in rock star's hearts just have to be let down. and hanging around. crushed like a bug in the ground. taddity-ta! sara p.s. jump, little children...i have seen them a whopping THIRTY NINE (39) times and they have NOT ONCE played the same setlist. i love those boys. "is that all you got, you overcooked tart? you rock like a pansy, little slap-ASS!" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:28:33 GMT From: tavia - Subject: cashews are addictive people i think the subject line speaks for itself. okay, i'll accept that i'm dumb here, but the authors of the two songs I'm about to ask about, weren't mentioned on the army single in australia (what a country- which is a word shakespeare uses very rudely. alot. I might add. just drop the o. a classical education is not neccessarily filled with polite information) am I right in assuming the talented and attractive darren wrote leather jackets? (which I like a lot - very catchy to humm in my car in early morning peak hour traffic as I pass the saltimbanco tents...) (and then i think of that pres of USA line: going to the country * gonna eat alot of peaches - ahhh it all makes sense now...) and am I also correct in understanding that robert sista sledge (pppppplease let him makin whoopie the piano in brisbane) wrote birds? (which is, by popular acclaim, agreed to be too short, considering it's so damn fine) would enjoy a brief yes and yes (or no and yes, or yes and no, or... point made) on that. having flipped and zipped through a whole lotta rfs lately I notice an unhappy low-level-tiffiness developing betwixt stacey and markus, two citizens of the rfs with a whole lotta taste and talent. :( this is, well I was going to say soemthing wussy like 'it saddens me' but frankly it's quite interesting: keep it up! arguing is the first sign of love. and if you believe this immature nonsense, parading as advice, from me then reverse pyschology may yet work i sooooo wish I'd been at the dc concert. it sounded like heaven. stacey mentioned that that what i do is not so new anymore, definitely it is so. so much for the afterglow. unfortunately my head of dept is a baaaaad man. he makes me very uncomfortable. (and the way he says 'taaaaaaaves'... ugh i may change my nic) but enuf on yucky yucky things. nothing left to say ah yes a gratuitous: owsley good. owsley rawk. seek out owsley. to you all. (to misquote the blues brothers: I'm on a mission from God) tavia - gonna eat me some cashews ;) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: 25 Jun 99 07:17:41 EDT From: Rey Anthony Subject: Re: I think I'm still recovering...

Okay, you know your day is starting right when the first thing you find when you wake up is a check to you for $81 that you didn't have the night before. Plus, tonight is the first night of Frog Island Jazz Festival, and it's ZYDECO NIGHT! If you don't love zydeco, then you have something wrong with you. It's just down home, bouncy, accordian driven jazz that you simply MUST dance to. Anyway, I'm going to go revel in my happiness before I actually start working. I'll talk to all of you later. Love ya! ERIC ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 07:12:21 PDT From: Markus Kamp Subject: Just a Reminder Not all of us hipsters are on the loose mail version of this list. Why? Because some of us don't have time to deal w/5-10 extra e-mails a day. My point? When someone posts an excessively long review of a concert, those of us who receive the digest hafta scroll past it to see if there are any relevant posts. So, no, we can't just delete "1 friggin' message". _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I'll say it again, but if I wanted to read a bunch of over zealous' fans daily thoughts, I would have taken a seat on the armchair!! I happen to be on loose mail. And personally I would read things posted by you guys if you were talking about your goats. But I understand your pain, Markus. Thats why I switched over to loose mail. But Stacy obviously took a lot of time to write those few reviews. So just be respectful. Sure, this is Markus' and Stacy's business, but I am giving my two cents since this stuff is read by other people all over the place. If you don't want idiots like me butting in, just send each other really bitchy and nasty e-mails!! I just thought I'd pass that along. I hate to read stuff like that. In other words guys, if you don't have anything constructive to say, don't say anything at all!! And then we can all read the RF like the decent beings that we were, er, are. ( Great reviews Stacy! If its ever a problem to post them, just send them directly to me!) "I'm still here when I could be anywhere."
