But you have a point dear, whip-smart is just perfect to convert someone, i would say any song in that cd can do the job well, maybe Dogs of L.A. or Nashville, may queen (the one iīve been converted by =))... forgive the horrible grammar. see ya Gerardo * ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 03:50:01 -0500 From: Melissa Leigh Subject: convert songs I agree in that polyester bride doesn't represent liz's earlier stuff as well, but my friend who doesn't have her own taste in music enjoys the song. She's one of those spongy types who likes what she's exposed to in large quantities and whatever people think is cool at the moment. PB is also one of the songs that pops up a lot when you search for liz on napster, so I guess it has kind of a single effect in that people like it, but not enough to check out liz beyond the one song. Anyhow, it may be a good song to convert people with because it may be more like liz's future album. We don't know exactly where she's going. I've given up on converts anyway because it means more people borrowing my stuff:#. They can find their own stinking music. - ---melissa ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 10:40:17 EST From: "Morgan Hartsell" Subject: hmmm....

He appears in a Throwing Muses song (where he sounds alot like Michael Stipe), and has a great song (Can't Fight It) on the No Alternative compilation, which I just rediscovered after buying it back from my ex-girlfriend - what a great disk. Anyway, who is this guy? No Liz content - boy do we need the new album.
