I guess I liked Lowdown and Sister Pain best at the beginning, but these days, even though I can't find the disc, Mirrorball(this is one of my favorite songs ,,, especially the b-side version on Zephyr) and Too Far Gone rev me up and make me wanna operate heavy machinery. I loved everything they did as Electrafixion- including 'Live Forever"(Just A Touch Away) 'Fixion was brilliant while it lasted. Got to see 4 great concerts without a lot of the goofballs who go to any so called "80's" band's concert- which happens at EATB shows & this means you listen to constant whining "play dancing horses > play lips like sugar>> cell phone call>> agghhh. I mean , I don't walk around like Sid Vicious, but most of these ultra yuppy dudes from Pepperdine business college with their Dave Matthews Band wannabe groupy dates never coulda been passionately into EATB before cuz I'm Loose! Still an alltime Mac and Will moment: Loose followed by Burned in concert- 15 minute Frenzy of all great things. ps mac was completely bonkers(highly entertaining) whenever i saw electrafixion,,, I know he had that 24 hr rock star thing going with the Bunnymen at the apex, but I think he'd be in a grave by now if they'd kept up their "Iggy and the Stooges" (according to w. sergeant) routine ah, great memories indeed. that whole thing was like some kind of wonderful bonus track to the bunnymen era damn, can't stop typing about it now... If you like Burned, you should try hunting down the singles. The only song I didn't like at first- "Never" is much better live IMHO with Mac doing the Lou Reed bit from 'walk'. I think that is on one of the Sister Pain discs which also include that great mini poster of the Burned chick last but not least: Holy Grail is an absolute must! I think it's on the lowdown single I have ripped most of the singles, except the Sister Pain Johnny Cash mix- never could find that one, and know they pretty much can't be bought- lemme know if ya want 'em mp3 VIVA ELECTRAFIXION - ----- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe seven-seas or unsubscribe seven-seas-digest to get off the digest Carnahan '00--finally objective proof that the best politician is a deceased one. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2000 10:49:59 -0500 From: redhead Subject: seven-seas Re: this list At 07:28 PM 11/24/2000 -0500, you wrote: >Yeah, my list so my subscribers.

She has first-hand knowledge > that many of them collect welfare and use modern conveniences while > pretending to shun those things. Why defend those hypocrites and publicly > refer to your subscribers as nitwits? Why? Because I assume that like the members of any other religion, some amish are more or less honest in their exercise of their beliefs than others. That isn't any excuse to slam them as a group, nor to use this list for a small scale pogrom. And they've been around long enough that calling them a "cult" is inaccurate and insulting. Unless you consider every religious group to be a cult. I've no particular feels for, or use for, or have ever given much thought to the amish, other than never wanting to get caught behind one of their wagons on a one-lane road. however, they keep to themselves, are generally harmless, and unlike several other larger christian denominations, which don't get called cults, the amish don't go to the polls and try to impose their beliefs on anyone else. Why be sensitive about such things? Sorry...I'm Jewish, you know the cult where we all have horns, sacrifice christian children on passover, etc. ;) Jason - ----- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe seven-seas or unsubscribe seven-seas-digest to get off the digest Carnahan '00--finally objective proof that the best politician is a deceased one. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 01:14:09 -0500 From: fluteplayer@home.com Subject: seven-seas A Modest Proposal I've been primarily a lurker during my months on the list, hoping to pick up the occaisional bit of Bunnyinfo or nugget of widsdom from Frank or Chris (both of whom have been conspicuously and lamentably absent of late :( ), so maybe I have no moral authority here -- I'm not sure about the niceties of e-mail list etiquette -- but I can't help wondering if maybe there's a better forum than this for discussions about how evil the Amish may or may not be, what the weather is like today in Wisconsin, etc. I mean, no disrespect to any of the posters in particular, and maybe I just need to get more comfortable with the notion of deleting a mesage without actually reading it, but I think I've read and deleted about 400 posts on the Amish over the last few days. So my proposal -- and those of you who are more frequent posters than I can feel free to shout me down here -- is that we try to exercize a *little* self-censorship when posting to the list. There are several dozen people on the list, most lurkers like me looking to keep up with their favorite band, and a great many of us, I suspect, don't really need to follow along with things like this Amish ruckus. So would it be possible to establish some sort of loose guideline that, if your post wouldn't be of interest to more than a few people on the list, you could e-mail them privately? By all means, everybody, keep telling us the important things in your life -- you had a kid, your spouse/partner left you, whatever -- if you want. Those things are big, and often demand to be shared. But could non-music-related disputes and trivialities be taken outside, maybe? Just wondering, ChrisV PS- Come back Frank and Chris!
