Subject: Re: JAZZ. Hey all, just finished my radio show for today. 12-2. I did a special 2 hours slot of all Zippers (ahh, the beauty of free-form college radio...). Anyway, you can listen to it over the web at www.bates.edu/wrbc. Just click on "archives" and find my slot; Thursday 5/13 from 1200-1400. Enjoy!

It sounds really live on the CD. it was recorded at one of the clubs--Cat's Cradle I think. trust me it' really live and sounds like it on the CD. the Immortal guy, smakal ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 15:22:03 +0000 From: "SHAUN SMAKAL" Subject: Re: SNZ on Jeopardy Maybe the reason the dude had such a hard time answering the question was because it was listed in a neo-swing catagory. Maybe we should have a write in campaign to Jeopardy or Alex Trebeck. the immortal guy, smakal ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 12:34:40 PDT From: "Ryan Sargent" Subject: HERETIC BLUES!!!! I just got my copy of "Heretic Blues" by Kevin O'donnell's Quality six, and all I can say is WOW!!!! It has Kevin O'donnell, Andrew Bird, Josh Hirsch, Colin Bunn, Chris Green, and David Dieckmann. It sounds like Squirrel Nut Zippers and Bowl Of Fire thrown into a mix with all the great masters. Along with Violin, Drums, String Bass, and Guitar, they put in some nice sounding Alto Sax and Trombone. The songs go from upbeat swings to really swinging Blues. Andrew on vocals (so far...I am still listening to it right now.) Here are the track listings: 1- Moten Swing. 2- Heretic Blues. 3- Girl From New York City. 4- Self Inflicted. 5- My Friend Eddie. 6- Could You Please Move Over? 7- Stack O' Lee. 8- Candy Dish Stomp. 9- Oh! Lady Be Good. 10- There, There, There. 11- Margaret. 12- Blues For Andrew. 13- Red Boa. 14- Mope. Again, if you even sort of like Squirrel Nut Zippers, Bowl Of Fire...or music in general, buy this CD. Everyone has solo's...this CD is one of the best I have ever heard. It comes out around May 25th I think, but you can get it now through Jazz Record Mart. Go to www.delmark.com and you can find out from there. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Hey, Clay Walker (ClayWalk@aol.com) posted this to the list, and it bounced, but don't worry, it won't happen again. *********************************************************************** Greetings, I am new to this mailing list and have been reading everything for a couple of weeks now. I have been updating my websites a little bit and one thing that is burning a hole in my (internet) pocket is the work I did with the candy company which was taken out of the CD-ROM at the last minute. In the Perennial CD-ROM where it reads "Mammoth Records" it originally read "Squirrel Brand Factory." I was asked to take it out due to the pending lawsuit. So, I am going to put these deleted graphics on my website as soon as I can figure out whose basement I stored all my Zipper source material in. My question to you zipper webmasters out there is: would you like a 1 minute video of the Nut Zipper candy being made? It follows the candy from molten blob to being packaged & shrinkwrapped. I have it on BetaSP right now but can compress it down for the web. I'm on AOL and I only have a little space left. I don't want this stuff to not get seen because I spent 2 days in Cambridge and would like for everyone interested to be able to see it. Let me know if anyone's interested. clay walker ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 16:06:29 -0400 From: Dishon Gerald Robert Subject: Re: SBC No reply from SBC (still!!!). This is seriously pissing me off. I seriously think they are avoiding the question. Clay: Post that sucker! That's cool as Hell (the song, of course). If you have any other cool footage, you should put up a site with outtakes and "behind the scenes" and stuff like that.

Katharine Whalen's Jazz Squad will be performing Saturday May 22 at UNC's Memorial Auditorium for the LIVE broadcast of NPR's "Whad' Ya Know?" program. "Whad' Ya Know?" is based out of the Wisconsin Public Radio system and is similar to "This American Life" in that it frequently tours the states broadcasting from a different town each week. If you'd like more info on the show you can check out their website: www.notmuch.com Thanks, and, again, I'm sorry for the interruption. As you were. - --kerry _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

And should it be part of the Discography? Damn straight it should! The remix kicks ass! I got the MP3 from Matt Fishken's Hotline server (see below). It is truly the bomb diggity. I can mail you the MP3 if you don't want to bother with Hotline, but there are also some cool concert bootlegs on there.

Andrew "Andrew" Bird has been playing the violin for way too long. Luckily, he hasn't been playing jazz for quite as long, so he's still got some fire in his britches. Known in Cook County and around the nation as "deamy," Andrew often leaves his oatmeal in the sink. No, that's not a euphemism. He really does. He tries to stay on top of it, but he eats a lot of oatmeal. Anyway, his fine singing is not to be missed, nor his fiddle playing... so buy 'Heretic Blues'. Second of all - I want to say that I don't want to hear one more weasel tell me that a drummer can't successfully lead a band. Granted, 'Triumph' might have proven once and for all that the singing drummer is a bad call, but that's different altogether...so buy 'Heretic Blues'. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
