Yellow Submarine = good album, Hey bulldog = GREAT SONG. The Beatles never made anything bad. And ALL of their movies rock. How could you not like "Help!"????? "Hey! You! Be-a-tle!"...god how i love those cheesy foreign stereotypes. "goooo to the window!" and Hard Days Night: "He's a very clean man" Ooooooh....gotta love them Be-a-tles! Sammy Hagar: Clay, you are MENTAL. For those of you who don't know...Sammy was a solo artist, then joined Van Halen, they they kicked him out, and then he moved to Mexico and drank too much tequila and now is promoting the beverage with a new band and a new song...uhmmm..."Mas Tequila"...how original. PF Secrets and movies: Okay I am buying a new computer for the sole reason of watching all this rad stuff on the PF and HOT ECDs. And i think Clay should give me some $$ towards it, don't you think? :) Why tom quit: Hello...listen to "Trou Macacq"....I think Tom is the first to rid the pine box derby to the finish line. but seriously...he's just had enough. Don't think he'll keep his hands out of this gig forever, tho. I think he'll be back. If not as an actual Zipper, maybe as a contributor or an opening act. Hell, maybe even as a manager/player, like Frank Robinson. Yay for me: I won this video off eBay that has a copy of the "hell" and "put a lid on it" videos. I haven't seen them in AGES (don't tell me to go to the website to see them, either. NOTHING video-like works on my machine...nothing...) The last time i saw "hell" i wasn't all familiar with the band, so now it'll be fun to watch and know who's who in ... uhhh...well, hell. Billie Holiday: Her life was a mystery and scandal. That is why E! did a "mysteries and scandas" show on her :) (it's on this week!) Russia: Gregory! I think you are our first Russian fan!!! I feel so close to you now that I have seen the Red Elvises. Welcome! Who else here is from across the sea? New "news": And I am as excited as a friggin' little GIRL *ahem* about Mammoth mentioning a new Zippers album!!! SO EXCITED!!! *does a little dance* SO EXCITED!!! now i am so exhausted. Jess ps i am so happy to see all this chatter.

Jimbo did. Jim was standing in front of the mirror and said "It's alright, just got back from the doctor". Did anybody else notice that the first time they show somebody warming up with a trumpet in the backstage section, it looks like stacy. >> Yes, that was Stacy. All of that backstage footage is from the same show which was the 9/1/96 "Luna Park" show in West Hollywood. The rest of that footage came from "Brick By Brick" - San Diego (2/25/97), "Great American Music Hall" - San Francisco (2/97), "Cotton Club" - Atlanta (2/96), "The Roxy" - Los Angeles (2/97 ), "Roxy" - Atlanta (3/97), "Spaceland" - Los Angeles (9/2/96) & KCRW - Los Angeles (9/1/96). I am actually in one of those shots because Don was giving me a back massage & I think Chris or Stacy was shooting with my camera. I shot a lot of stuff with Stacy but he left the band before I started doing all the formal interviews with everyone. I really, really liked Bruce Weber's film on Chet Baker "Let's Get Lost." That film has been very influential on my work. Stacy & I spent a lot of time talking about it. He really liked Chet Baker as well. My one funny Stacy story, and no one may think this is funny, but back in '96 I went from LA to SF with Jim & Kathy & Stacy in a van. We had stopped at some convenience store & we all bought some pretty gross food to eat. Jim & Kathy were asleep in the back. Stacy was driving. He had bought one of those mango fruit drinks that comes in a slender milk jug type plastic containers and left it on the dashboard. So, we're driving along. I'm looking out the passenger window & there's this huge popping/explosion sound and something splats on my window. I look over at Stacy & he was drenched from this drink that had somehow fermented in the sunlight & unfortunately was aimed right at him when it exploded. It was everywhere. He was covered in it. We all thought it was pretty strange & funny. He performed later that night at the Cafe Du Norde without changing clothes because it was his only coat. Actually now that I'm typing this out & reading it, it seems pretty sad. sorry.... clay ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jul 99 15:6:58 -0800 (PST) From: Shaun Smakal Subject: Permanent Stuff! Sorry Jess, but I never got that scathing message to Permanent Records off. Today I got all my stuff so now I'm an official member of the PR club so I'll have some more influence (maybe). What was up with yer last order? Somethin about your CC number? I'm listening to Jim Smith's 'Uphill' right now and I'm thinking its kicks some poop. Its weird--kinda like a love story/bar thingy (yep the two go together)with people talking between songs that develope through 3 chapters... I said it was weird. It kicks far more poop than the way the 'Immortal' sndtrck did things though. Overall, the music is good and Stu does his thing well. If ya want jess, drop me a line and i'll shoot somethin off to Permanent if ya want, Shaun == Impetus (im'-pa-tas) [L. attack] n. the force with which a body moves; momentum; boost.

SPAM IS PEOPLE!!!!" - Jay Leno _____________________________________________________________ Subject: Re: BOF shows >Black Cat 4/3/99 >I forget where ryan saw them 6/??/99 Both of thos were the shows I went to. Here is the review from the 6/??/99 show: The Bowl Of Fire show was, as always, one of the best shows. The first band was a jazz band led by a young woman named Katharine (NOT Whalen), They did a lot of jazz classics - Girl Form Ipenima, Deed I Do, Fever, etc... At the end she had some guy come out and sing "Baby, won't you please come home" with her. You might remember the duet Louis Prima and Keely Smith did on that song. The next band The Handsome Family were sort of dark folk. Andrew and Kevin from BOF came out and played a song with them (Kevin rocked on the spoons!). Before BOF came out I got a chance to talk with Kevin O'Donnell for a while. (Did you know that Jack Fine had played with Babby Dodds?). BOF was introduced by one of Andrew's old violin students from Chicago by reading a dark poem. They played a great set, included - "After You've Gone" and "El Cuarto De Tula". They mixed in songs from Thrills and the new album. Andrew even put in a little bit of a classical concerto during one of his solo's. Afterwards I got two posters and a shirt (and stickers). Kevin signed my copy of Heretic Blues and the whole band signed one poster and just Andrew and Kevin the other. I took 29 relly close pictures you will see later a little bit later. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I found this story I posted a while ago and thought I should put it up again (since its closer to that release, hopefully): "BIRD ON FILM" - -------------- "Andrew Bird, that is. The Chicago violinist recently completed playing on the score of the forthcoming Tim Robbins film, The Cradle Will Rock. For the music, written by Robbins' brother David, Bird played some improvised tunes with saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera. Robbins wrote and directed the movie, which is set in 1930s New York and based on the 1937 Orson Welles play of the same name. John Cusack plays Nelson Rockefeller in the movie, which also features Hank Azaria, Bill Murray, Joan Cusack, Emily Watson, Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Redgrave, Ruben Blades, John Turturro and Cary Elwes. Bird, who used to tour with the Squirrel Nut Zippers, also just finished his second album on Rykodisc with his band Bowl Of Fire. Titled Oh The Grandeur!, the album was recorded in New Orleans in February is scheduled for a fall release." For anybody who is going to an upcomming KnockDown Society show don't forget to ask Jm about the whole Tom/new album stuff. It would be nice to get some information right from the main source. And ask if Tom will be on the new album at all. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention some birthdays. last Sunday was Louis Armstrongs traditional birthday (his actual birthday is august 4th 1901). Yesterday was Louis Jordan's b-day. And this saturday is Charles "Cootie" Williams and Lee Morgan b-day. Cootie was the "Plunger master" trumpet for Duke Ellington's band, and most know Lee morgan from his work with Art Blakey and the jazz messengers and writer of "the sidewider". _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Maybe he felt better when the Zippers were in the place that Bowl Of Fire is in now. They are in the perfect slot of popularity, not to much press...but enouph dependent fans to remain stable. I wish for a music career like Jim mentioned. I'd be in a smaller band like BOF or SNZ, a blues band like KDS or Howlin' Wolf's (tom is right on one thing, he did rock), and a big band like the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Kind of like what Wynton Marsalis is doing now. He doesn't play one style. He releases classical, hot jazz, big band, and "wynton" jazz cd's every year. Right now he's releasing a different kind of cd every 4 weeks untill 2000. He's already put out a classical, T. Monk cover, and is about to put a cd called "Big Train" with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (like Dukes train music). It's going to wierd with new Zippers. I don't know if i'll ever think of them as actual Zippers...maybe. Tom will always be a Zipper though. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
