Garbage does a cover of his song "Supernatural". Its the first song I learned to play on guitar. (I just started). I like the song alot. I'm going to look for the original today on napster. Can you tell me anything about him? k ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 10:17:51 -0700 (PDT) From: ---becky--- Subject: tape swap just wondering... has anyone reviewed the tapes they recieved yet? that's all, becky ===== "if the fool were to persist in his folly he would become wise." -william blake http://i.am/beckybecky __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Would anyone be interested in some sample MP3s? There's also emo-core, which is a more extreme version of the above. Some of Radiohead's quietest moments can approach emo.

Long time no write hon!!! Glad to see yer actually *GOING* to school instead of just dicking around like I used to :) :) hehheeh not that it matters. It's just school. It's not like it matters. Oh ya, but it costs money....whoops, forgot about that. at any rate - I just had a really funny thought - remember those stupid fucking cabbage patch kid dolls - how big they were when we were kids? Anyway, when I was like, 9 or something i used to have this dumb ass little tape of them - and it was like - about some crazy ass kidnapping of one of the cabbage patch kids - some mean jack rabbit that eats cabbages stole one of the kids and there was this big fight blah blah blah..and the bald, hero cabbage patch kid named OTIS LEE got the kid back - whatever - I'm sorry - I am rambling, but anyway, it reminded me of something we were talking about - Remember a looooooooong time ago, how we were talking about the fucked up shit we all grew up on - like, how our idols were people like Pee-Wee Herman and the fucking Polk-a-Roo and shit?? And I was like "how the fuck are we all gonna turn out anyway, when we spent out formative years screaming out the 'word of the day' infront of a TV set - oh fuck I dropped the joint!" and we couldn't stop laughing...Anyway - remember the "KUSA PATCH KIDS"?? I hope to god you do - I was just thinking of them the other day and how WEIRD they were. They were like a spin-off of the cabbage patch kids - but they were all fucked up and like, genetically cross-bred with FARM ANIMALS!! Remember??!? I used to have the token "boy doll" that was cross bred with a PIG!! It had a fucking curly tail and a snout!!!!!!!!! Isn't that fucked up?!?! Like, what the hell was "whoever invented that" thinking when they thought up KUSA kids!?!? and what the fuck is a "KUSA"!??! I mean, aside from the screwed up fact that the dolls were the product of beastiality, how in the name of Christ did they come up with the name "KUSA"? This could very well haunt me for the rest of my natural life. If being a fag isn't a genetic thing - then it was for SURE the KUSA that made me hop the fence. Just kiddin. anway, I just had to respond to yer email - and tell u that i was thinking of you the other day - kinda made me smile.. :) at any rate - (Hey - my KUSA KID's mom was a PIG FUCKER!! ahahahaha) oh ya, I miss you too. laters, Dan. %&%&%&%&%%%%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&% "You leave with everything...." -Hole. *******************************^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 22:47:36 -0500 (CDT) From: Vasant Ramamurthy Subject: Re: emo? >From: Valerie Barry > >ruthie confirmed: > >>honestly, i was an indie rock dj for 4 years, and i still dont' know >>what emo is >...i feel so much better now. until the recent post, i have never even >*heard* the term "emo". unless you count emo phillips, of course. another >genre i learned about recently is called "twee"...best described in an >article on www.salon.com a couple weeks ago as "the music belle & sebastian >fans listen to when they're not listening to belle & sebastian." apparantly >there was a big conference right up the road in athens, ga. put on by some >label (candy-soemthing?) specializing in that genre. and to prove how out >of it i really am, i wouldn't know "the thong song" if it came and hit me >in the face. > >wallowing in my own musical mortality, > >vjb ah, some things you're better off not knowing about: emo, "thong song," etc. you're not missing much. i also read that article on salon.com about the kindercore expo. it was pretty interesting, cause they're definitely an up-and-coming label. but for what it's worth, i'm a big belle & sebastian fan, and i hate most of the bands on kindercore. go figure... - -vasant - -- "Well it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am and I'm real damn sure that anyone can equally easily fuck you over." - -"Dark Center of the Universe," Modest Mouse ------------------------------ End of support-system-digest V3 #251 ************************************
