I've been listening to AFTP since it came out, and my God, is it
awesome!  While "Sidewinder..." is terrific, I think "Try not to
Breathe" is the best song.  Musicaly, it sounds a lot like a combination
of "Swan Swan H" from _Pageant_ and "Half a World Away" from OOT.  Any
other comments?

Ew. ew.  Ugly rumour alert!!
Kinda like the MichaelStipeHasAIDS rumour.  How distasteful if one should
bring up such a rumour.

Berry and Buck have a plan to go until 2000.  Michael wants to do some solo
projects and they all sponsor little bands and movie productions here
and there.

I can't help but to question the integrity of this statement.  Likelihood
equals near zero.  At the height of their popularity?  With a MULTIMILLION
dollar deal with Warner...probably not.

Bands get frustrated when they work; they've said that before.  They've
experienced frustration before, but they also said that each other is his best
friend.

hmmm.  rumours.

Hi !

I meet the NewBo's fairly often when I lived in Dallas so I might have some stuff
for you...
I don't think they released anything by them self before "Shooting...". The have one
song on a compilation album called The Sounds Of Deep Ellum. As far as I know this is
the first NewBo stuff released. 
About their whereabouts now days....
I haven't meet Edie for years and don't know anything (apart from what you read..)
about what she's doing.
John Bush has been playing with several local bands off and on and help people out on
their albums. He played with MC900ft Jesus (Dallas Techno-Rap act) on one of his
tours, he played on The Spin Doctors "Pocket Full Of Kryptonite" and has worked with
Ten Hands and BillyGoat. All groups have albums out but apart from coming from the
Deep Ellum area they have very little in common (well, the drink together :-) )

The last thing I heard about Matt was that he had a short gig with Pearl Jam
( I think he plays in the "Alive" video....Anybody?)
He then moved on to play in the houseband for Saturday Night Live. A couple of month
ago I heard that he was going to play with the Cult in L.A. !!!! If this happened I
don't know.

I know little about Kenny Withrow apart from that he plays on BillyGoats "Bush Roaming
Mammals".
I have no clue about the rest of them.

I'm sure I'll meet up with some of them when I go back to Dallas in the end of the 
month so I can find out if anybody is interested....

It's great!  If you weren't thrilled about Out of Time, don't give up on
REM--give this album a listen.  It's fresh and original, but has the REM
sound and spark.  Stipe's voice has never been better.

YES!!YES!!! And did you know that Paul McCartney is dead too? Its true, he's
walking barefeet across Abbey road backwards, there's a coffin tattooed on hos
left arm on the back inner sleeve cover of the second limited edition
re-release of that album he guested on with that band from Pittsburgh who did
that duet with that guy who used to play drums with Walt from the Hair
roadshow, there's a number listed on the back of Sergeant Peppers that if you
ring is now disconnected too, it goes on and on and on...I tell ya, he's
history!! The guy thats Paul McCartney-he ain't Paul McCartney!! He's a stand 
in. The real Paul is dead!!! 
Sheesh...REM must be sitting giggling in a corner, probably with David Lynch.

True; bands change when their musical talents increase.  Mike Mills when he
started was a tremendous bass player, and his skills have happened upon
other interests.  Peter wasn't too talented as far as guitar players go, but
he's definitely broadened his interests...each new album is a reflection on
new talent.

That's the sentiment I got when I bought OOT.  It was a public album, so
to speak.  Although Green was supposed to be the Joshua Tree of REM, OOT
was more so the album that really brought REM into the open; something
which they have experienced and are declining with this album.

R.E.M. have explained in various interviews that they intend to tour after
they release their next album next year.  This really doesn't sound like
they're planning on breaking up.  What would be the point anyway?  There
are no indications that they don't get along.  What reason would they have
to disband R.E.M.  They all have worked on various non-R.E.M. projects while
keeping the band together.  However, after they release their next album and
finish touring, I could understand breaking up.  They might want to wrap
things up neatly.  Sort of like a football player retiring right after
getting his last Super Bowl ring.

The last time I saw them, Davey "Slimeboy" Yow hurtled himself on toppa
me (luckily his testicles and pee-pee were entombed in
fruit-of-the-loom) and I could barely hold him up he was so slippery
with perspirative fluid.

>Pearl Jam loving motherfuckers. - Marc

The second time I saw them (I've seen them 3 times), there was a joke
about "Pam Eisenberg's pussy".  You see, the night before the show Yow,
the guitarist and Tim Moss (vocals for a fuck-hot local band RITUAL
DEVICE) went to a party at this guy Eisenberg's house.  Anyway, right
when they walked in the door, Pammy Eisenberg (the guys wife) told them
not to steal anything.  This perturbed the boys, but they continued
gentlemanly into the party.  Out on the back patio, they were all
drinking a beverage, exchanging tales that musicians exchange, when
Spam comes up again and says something about them not stealing anything.

Yow was taken aback and responded with, "I was driving into Nebraska
today and I smelt this 'orrible stench...that was your pussy, wasn't
it?" (or something to that effect).  She had them kicked out of the
party.
 
So, the show the next night was riddled with remarks and they even gave
her phone-number to the crowd.  They didn't tell the story behind it,
though....I found out later from Timmo.
 
So YES...go see them if you have the ability.  Ask Yow about Pam
Eisenberg's vaginal odor, make a night of it.

Jawbreaker

Based in Oakland (across the bay from San Francisco).

One album, "Unfun", currently out on Shredder Records.  It is available
on vinyl and CD.  The CD contains the "Whack and Blite" E.P., which makes
for three extra tracks.  I've seen at least one 7" by them, as well.

A new album is out now, or due imminently.

I can see a comparison with Husker Du as a good starting point in describing
this band:  good vocal melodies laid over a fairly grungy guitar/bass/drums
backdrop.  No prolonged or excessive guitar solos.  Interesting and thought-
provoking lyrics.  Very nice use of feedback.  They can really thrash out
when they want to.
