Sorry, people but since this is a psuedo-moderated list with its
own psuedo-moderator and without the wimpy-ass-snivvelling-geeky-unix-compunerd
thats normally infestate the bowels of most unix-slime groups, I see
no reason to stop the obscentities.  If this person is like,
completely freaked out and mortified, then he wouldn't read net.muswank
and since he doesn't even belong here, well he has no chance.
wadda you going to do, tell me mommy and daddy ???

you sound to me like a new age wanker.  go find yerself and when you
do, don't come complaining to me cause your holistic healing didn't
go as planned.

Well You know what Mr. Mayhem and Confusion in Maryland, I 
have a story that will give you an answer to your question.
When I worked with the awesome teen-pop combo, those Screaming
Igunas in Love,  the main maniac (know as Dr. Obvious) decided we needed
some more exposure, so a few of our songs were sent to the newspaper in
orlando, as well as a florida music magazine (city-paper-ish, but not as
trendy, more rock and roll drivvel), and actually someone called him and
wanted to come down and talk to us.  The dr. was very excited, he was
gathering blenders at a furious rate and preparing for an interview
that would blow his mind more than any amount of LSD could do.  When the
dude showed up (he reminds me of a JD considine look-alike), we talked
for awhile, then he said he couldn't write the article about us because
"Our band name was not suitable for a family publication and if we
had a better name we would be more popular".  When we said
why, he could not elaborate.  HOWEVER, he said he could write the
article for the muswank magazine, but "we would have to pay him to
convince the editor it was worthwhile." At this point another member,
Lt. Cryptic left to go get 'more beer'. Instead he dumped a good dose
of sugar down the dude's gas tank.  We told the to f*ck off, he split,
got 5 miles down the road when his car fucked stop operating.
He ended up hitchiking the 50 or 60 miles back to Orlando. 

We were also refused studio time because the studio owner 'didnt like our name'.

>"But they'd be good if they didn't have such a bad name!"  "How
>so?" I reply.  "Well, they'd get a big record contract".  

My question to those people is "Why does the name decide whether a band
is good or not ???"  Then I would kick them out the back door, as long
as you had a lean, german sheperd to clean them up. Those people
are a dime a dozen.

Platinum, QE2, Five Miles Out, Crises, Discovery, The Killing Fields

Subject: Camper Von Beethoven

I got a letter in the mail from Independent Project Records today.
I'd written them concerning the Camper Von Beethoven record
Telephone Independent Landslide Victory.  Most of their records
are real fancy jobs with hand-printed (that is, printed with some
sort of fancy printing press) sleeves.  Now, this Camper Von Beethoven
record is sold out of the letterpress-printed editions, and what's
available is the offset-printed ones.  There's no different price
listed for the supposedly cheaper offset-printed edition, and I was
wondering if anyone could clarify this for me.

I've been listening to the Cocteau Twins' Tiny Dinamine for the past
couple of months.  (no, it wasn't my first exposure to them...snobs.)
Is anyone else annoyed by what appears to be a slight case of tape bleed?
Didn't someone say this recording is a couple of years old?  On the
song "Plain Tiger", I could swear Liz is saying "After the task of adding up"
at one point, and at another is saying quite loudly and distinctly, "You suck!"
Does anyone have any interpretations of these guys' lyrics, or confirmation
of the Greek rumor.
