Subject: fer cryin' out loud.

Hey guys...I know that the often-read "I'm drunk and I'm posting" type of
posts are dreadfully boring, but i noticed that many people have been
including older albums in their "2000 Favourites" lists. 
If we are doing that, then I have a whole new list.

1. "Pacer" - The Amps (BY FAR my favorite, most played album this year)
2. "Trompe Le Monde" - The Pixies
3. "Return to the Valley of the Go-Go's" - The Go-GO's
4. "OK COMPUTER" - Radiohead
5. "Meddle" - Pink Floyd
6. "Cockamamie" - Jen Trynin
7. "King" - Belly
8. "Susanna Hoffs" - Susanna Hoffs
9. "Pod" - Breeders
10. "Call the Doctor" - Sleater-Kinney
     
    That's it folks. The music that has shaped the first year of my
millennium.
Notable mention goes to:
"My Body, The Hand Grenade" - HOLE
"Pirate Prude" - HELIUM
"Murmurs" - The Murmurs.
                   okay...i'm outta here..
                                           Dan.

Subject: song from commercial

Ok, this is driving me nuts, and I know (hopefully) that someone here
will know the answer.  It's a commercial for some kind of perfume/cologne
and the song starts out like "I left my ___ like a crying child..."  Any
idea if it's a real song, put into a commercial, or was it made up for
the spot? i love the song, and anything you know about it would be
greatly appriciated.

Christine- i believe the song is "I Need Love" by Sam Philips? There's also a 
cover of that by Sixpence None The Richer, but I think the commercial plays 
the original version.

Subject: OT - AHF (Stacy Jones)

hey everyone- i think i've mentioned this before, but all of you have to go 
get Stacy's new album (American Hi-fi- self titled) when it comes out on Feb. 
27th... it is really, really good. At first i had only heard the single 
"flavour of the weak" over the phone, and was kind of put off at how SR 
71-esque it was, but the album really isnt like that at all. There are some 
really awesome, powerful rock songs on the album. I know im probably biased 
because i got an advance of the album FROM STACY himself, but it really, 
truly is awesome. My favorite songs on it are: "Another Perfect Day", "Safer 
on the Outside", "What About Today", "Wall of Sound", "Hi-Fi Killer", "Scar" 
and "Dont wait for the sun". they all are really good tho, lol. lots of the 
songs are obviously about his relationship with Nina. He really, really loves 
her (just listen to the song "Im a Fool"). its kind of funny (and cool) how 
devoted to her he is. That is why i call them the greatest couple in rock (at 
the moment. Kurt & Courtney are the all-time, in my opinion). im pretty sure 
you can hear clips from the album on their official site. I was going to wait 
to post about the album since it hasnt been released yet and most pple dont 
have it, but i really can't contain myself! its so good, and its all i've 
been listening to lately. if anyone else has heard it, let me know so we can 
talk about how good it is, lol

I think the missing word is conscience.  And I think it is a real song used 
for a commercial.  I've heard it on the radio.  The chorus goes something 
like "I need love -- not some ordinary _________???".

Subject: nina stories (Champaign)

here is that second nina story- this one is alot more interesting and fun! i
hope you guys arent mad that i am off topic. well, enjoy:
<< hey everyone! get ready for another long nina story.... i havent been
online since monday, but lots of cool stuff have happened to me since then.
You may have already heard this story from Kate, Pam, Audrey or Grayson, but
we met Nina AGAIN! After the Park West/Cincinatti shows (Cincinatti is is the
one where i talked to everyone thru the phone) we really didnt think that we
would see Nina again until her next tour. But on Monday, we were talking to
Kate and things changed. we decided to go to the Champaign show at the
Canopy Club. Since it was on a Wednesday though, we had to leave after school
and get home before school started the next day. Kate went to the Cleveland
show the night before and asked Nina if she would be able to get Audrey, Pam,
Grayson and I in since the show is 18+ and none of us are over 18. She told
Kate to go ahead and bring us and that she'd try her best.
Well, Canopy Club is in Champaign, about 3 hours from where we live in
Palatine. Anyways, Kate picked us all up (thank you SOOO MUCH KATE), and we
started heading down there. We got lost a few times, but eventually got there
okay (around 7:58- the tickets read 8:00 for the show, so we thought we were
late.) . We walked around and found all the busses, and we also heard Palo
Alto playing, so we had assumed that the show had already started. Since we
thought the show started we told kate to go in since we felt bad. we tried to
get in too, but we were ID'd right away.
it turned out that the show hadnt started... Pam, Audrey, Grayson and I
all waited outside Nina's bus when a guy let us know that Nina was out for
Dinner, and that she wasnt in her bus yet... he also let us know that the
show opened DOORS at 8:00, but that the actual show would start with Palo
Alto at 10pm, and Nina around 11pm. We eventually figured out that Palo Alto
was sound checking when we first arrived. So we waited and waited outside
Nina's bus from 8-10 (around that). This one really nice lady (that worked at
the Canopy Club) asked us what we were doing out there. We were kind of
reluctant to tell her that we were waiting for Nina to get us into the show,
since we didnt want to get her into trouble. she seemed really nice though,
so we let her know. She said that she would do everything she could and that
she would let her boss know about it. There was also this kind of jerky guy
there too. He worked at the Canopy Club, and we all were really kind of
upset with him. He was giving all these girls that he met a free tour of
Nina's bus, and then took them to the "downstairs room for cocktails". There
were also all these older pple that were getting into the show that didnt
know Nina. There was this one lady that was talking to her friend and was
like "yea, Nina is that girl that sings "tonight for the rest of my life". we
were all just like, "ahem, that is not the name of the song", lol.
So anyways, eventually Nina, Stacy, Josh, Mike, and the rest of the band
all walked back from wherever they were eating dinner at. Right away Nina
looked at us and was like "Hey- its Mike, Pam, Audrey and Grayson!". she
remembered our names- ALL OF THEM (it WAS the third time we've met her tho,
so i guess eventually that is what happens but still it blows me away!). She
told us to wait a little bit and that she'd come out to "talk" to us (we knew
what she meant). Stacy was the last one to go in, so i was just like "hey
stacy, whats up?". he was like "hey guys.. arent you cold?". i was like
"yea... hey, im the guy you talked to over the phone in Cincinatti, remember
me?" Then he was like "yeah, Mike right?". He remembered my name too (he also
remembered everyone else, but since im writing this i guess its coming out of
my point of view, lol). After that he went onto the bus.
Pam decided that she really needed to call her mom (Pam's mom needed her
home by 12- that wasnt gonna happen). We felt bad, but soon after she left,
Stacy came out again to talk to us. She came back really soon tho, so she
didnt miss much. We were telling him all about how we really liked American
hi-fi and you could tell he was happy about that... I asked him why he
changed the name of his band from BMX Girl to American Hi-Fi, and he told me
that BMX Girl was his AOL screen name, and that he never really planned on
naming the band that. they just needed something to go by, and lots of record
companies liked the name and signed him. Stacy and his band never liked the
name that much, so eventually they changed it to American Hi-fi (we agreed
that we liked it more). Stacy was kind of impressed cus he realized that we
were "stacy" fans too, and not just Nina. Audrey and I knew all this stuff
about him and his band cus we have been scouring the 'net for stuff about
them lately. he was kind of flattered that we thought he was cool. so he went
and got his suitcase, opened it and handed me an advance copy of the debut
"American Hi-Fi" Cd (its coming out feb. 27th), and he handed Audrey the
"Flavor of the Weak" single. (this was probably the second hi-light of the
show: getting the album FROM Stacy. The album is REALLY awesome too so far!
My favorite song is the track "Safer on the Outside". I call it "stacy's
album" since he actually gave it to me. it makes the album so much cooler
since it came from him, you know?). i was going to have him sign it, but i
felt bad. im kind of over the whole autograph thing anyways. hey, you can
talk to them alot more if they arent forced to autograph stuff anyways! plus
it kind of seems like they respect you more when you dont ask, too. i was
really happy i got that CD.... ever since i talked to Stacy over the phone in
Cincinatti i couldnt wait till i could meet him, get the album, and see the
band live. so i guess i really didnt have to wait for the album too long,
lol. he also told us he'd be on tour soon, and he wanted to see us at the
chicago show. We took some pictures with him, and we told him about our
dilemma. He told us that he'd make sure Nina would try to get us into the
show. he was really cool.. We also asked him if he'd be sticking around for
the rest of Nina's shows, and he told us that he would for a little more but
that he had some work to get done. he went back into the bus after this.
Soon after this, Nina came out (by herself). She really surprised us. She
was wearing a yellow tank top and jeans and looked REALLY beautiful. She kind
of poked her head out of the bus (she is SOO small, lol.) and started
whispering to us what was going to happen. She was like, "i usually only
sneak in 1 or 2 pple, but ill try my best to get you guys in." she told us
that when the entire band comes out that we should just walk with them into
the Canopy Club thru the back entrance as if we were part of the band. We
waited for about another hour, missed Palo Alto (wasnt too depressed about
that- i wasnt too thrilled with them at Park West but i guess it was cus i
was waiting for Nina to come on with such anticipation). Soon enough tho, THE
ENTIRE BAND CAME out and said "hi" to us. they were so awesome. Stacy came up
to us and was like "awesome, you guys are getting in!". Nina came up to us
with the Canopy club guy (the "cocktail" jerk guy) and was talking to him.
She was like "hey, these guys here (pointing to us) are my "cousins", (wink
wink, lol). we wont have any problems if they come in and watch the show with
us backstage do we?". the guy was like, "no prob at all". AAAAAAAHHHH!!! We
walked into the Canopy Club thru the back entrance WITH THE BAND!!! We were
talking to them the entire time, thanking them. Stacy kind of just patted us
on the back and walked into the next room to watch the show as Nina and her
band went on Stage. THEY ROCKED, and it was so much cooler seeing the show
from backstage. Right when we walked in with the band we could see Kate in
the front row cracking up and looking at us. it was really pretty funny. She
didnt think we would get in.
Anyways, the band played their usual set, but added a few songs!!! guess
what 2 VS songs Nina played at the Canopy that she hadn't played before????
"With David Bowie" (she was like, "i havent played this song for 4 years,
here ya go") and they also played the intro to "One more page of insencerity
please" before the went into "seether" (btw- the Seether was Josh). The show
was awesome, and we were rocking backstage right next to the mixing engineer
guy (nina came over 2 him a bunch of times and gave him directions and stuff,
it was cool).
The crowd wasnt very cool tho... At one point as nina was talking, this
jerk guy yelled really loud "LOUISE!!!!". Nina didnt say anything.... right
before "hold on to me" nina's guitar screwed up a little, so she told the
band to make up a song as she fixed it, and all of a sudden some other jerk
yelled "NINA BUY A TUNER!!!". We could kind of tell that Nina was pissed cus
she went up to the mic and was like "i already have a tuner thank you very
much. YOU go buy a tuner". we were just like "yeah! go Nina, you tell him!".
Once her set was done, the band exited the stage and Nina came up to us. She
was just like "hey guys, i really needed you in the front row again... i
didnt like this crowd at all tonight". we could understand too, they were
mean to her kind of.
Nina and the band went back on for the encore and finished the show. When
they were done, they walked back into their bus, and Stacy came up to us
again and was like "did you guys have a good time? im really happy you guys
got in, you were waiting for a long time." He left with the rest of the band
after that, and we motioned to Kate to come backstage with us, and she did.
We all exited from the back and waited by Nina's bus again to say bye.
Eventually some guy came out of the bus and was like "Nina is going to come
out soon, so get everything that you want signed out really quick". i guess
Nina wanted it to be a "sign and go" type thing. We let all the pple that
were waiting go, since we had already had the time of our lives that night.
Josh was out there tho, so we talked to him the entire time. He told us that
they would be on tour again really soon once this tour winded down. We wanted
to take a picture with him, so we asked this guy to take a picture of us. he
was just like "pictures, sure ill take a picture of you guys... ill take lots
of pictures, ill take pictures of my genitalia...". I heard it, but i guess
audrey didnt so she still gave him her camera. I saw him stick it down his
pants, and then give us the finger. He then gave the camera to his wierdo
girlfriend, and she took the pic. (she better have taken the pic right that
bitch, lol). audrey was disgusted about the camera when i told her (she made
us stop at some gas station to clean it, lol). josh was really cool tho, and
he talked to us till Nina was free. Right before Nina went back inside, we
went up to her and told her how much she rocked and how much we appreciated
what she did for us. She was like "no problem guys, and have a really safe
trip home" (she knew that we were pretty far away from home- i think that is
why she really wanted us to get into the show).
Well, the trip home lasted about 3 hours... we left around 2am. Kate
drove us all home and we slept in the car. We got back to Palatine pretty
late, around 5am. As Kate dropped me off at my house, i freaked cus it was
illuminated. EVERY LIGHT WAS ON!! i said bye to kate, and ran inside. My sis
was so worried about me, and my mom had gone off to Audrey's house to see if
her parents were as worried as she was. By the time my mom got to Audrey's
house, she was already home and told my mom i was ok. When she got back to
our huse, she started bawling and hugged me. She was really worried about me,
and was happy i was alive. whe wasnt mad tho, cus it wasnt really my fault,
plus i called her 3 times to let her know i'd be late. she just didnt kno HOW
late, lol. I stayed up a little more with her, and told her about my night.
She was really happy for me. i felt so bad that i made her worry, but it WAS
THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!! nothing could really bring me down, even tho i
felt really bad. im lucky to have really understanding parents. i went to bed
around 6am and woke up aroun 7:30 to go to school. I took a caffiene pill
that Kate gave me to stay awake, and i was surpised that it worked. Caffeine
usually doesnt affect me (i can drink a pot of coffee before i go 2 bed), but
it really did keep me awake. I gave the other pill to my mom cus i knew that
she got NO SLEEP at all that night cus she was worrying. She had to work
11am-12pm the next day too, so u guess she needed it more than me. i went and
worked for her a little after school cus i felt bad, and she had told
EVERYONE about how late i got home. we own a restaurant, and she even told
all the COOKS and WAITRESSES!! i was kind of embarrased, but oh well. i had
the night of my life. hope you guys enjoyed the story
