Hey folks;

First off-  Anyone who has seen Whiteheart on their current tour- Would
you PLEASE post or E-mail me a list of what songs they are keeping in
their live set from the albums "Freedom" and "Powerhouse".  Basically- 
I'm not sure I want to see them if they don't keep some of the good stuff
around.

Now- I have some cd's which, in retrospect, I am questioning why on earth
I ever got 'em in the first place.  They are up for sale or trade.  :

	D&K,  "Go to the Top"

	Twila Paris,   For Every HEart (?)  (the one w/ "True Friend")

	Imperials,  1990 album with a funky purple tinted cover.  I keep
forgetting the name.  It has songs called "Big Ball Turning" and "Come
into my Life"

	Rick Elias,  the first album (self-titled)

	Bride,  "Silence is Madness"

	

Things I might be interested in getting for trade............

	Petra-  More Power to ya /  Not of this World / Beat the System / On
Fire / The Rock Cries out

	White Heart-  Freedom

	King's X-  Out of the Silent Planet / King's X

	Legend- they only have 1 album, though I forget what it's called

	Arkangel- Warrior (don't even THINK of suggesting Radiohalo.... Kemper
Crabbe should be shot for that album!!!)

	Kerry Livgren- 1 of several possible tunes.......

	Queensryche- Mindcrime or Empire

	Extreme- Pornografitti or 3 sides.........

	Angelica- Thew newest one.

	Altar Boys- Gut Level Music!!!!!!!!

	...........  anything else ya really wanna dump I might be interested
in-

	CD ONLY PLEASE.  Send me Email- Fisr come first etc.............    It
might take a few days to respond, don't get to anxious.  All discs are
guaranteed, cases in very good to Excellent condition.  

Now - 2 cents on Ka-moshing........

I think the original post said something like:   "Ka-mosh (ostensibly a
demon or some terrible, horrible, no good , very bad dude.) developed
moshing which is evil.  So if we mosh, no matter what our intentions,
we are really glorifying this evil guy/person/demon/thing/figment of
someone's warped imagination."    

			HUH???????  How the heck do ya figure this one???????

Well, then I suppose the following corollary holds by exactly the same
logic......

"God developed music to glorify him...  SO no matter how satanic or
perverted the message of such warped bands as Ohhhhh..... SLAYER for
example.........  Way down deep they are really glorifying God...
RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

		Ahem......

	

		NOT !  NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT!  (etc.)

How 'bout this-   Dancing is a Godly practice.  (I'm sure the Wesleyans
and probably some baskets would scream if they read this.... BUT for sake
of argument (not theology.. this is completely hypothetical) let's just
pretend dancing is cool.)  So-  This Ka-mosh dude comes and defiles it by
inventing "moshing" or "slam-dancing".   Now......... Let's suppose
some well meaning metal-heads, (like me and Phil Powell and Neal Gray and
some other dudes who read this newsgroup) decide to mosh it up whilst
listening to One Bad Pig and decide to NOT mutilate ourselves in the
process (therby removing the 'defiled' elements.) it becomes a "Godly"
thing again.  Well.. maybe and maybe not......

BUT according to Paul- Meat sacrificed to idols was still fit for
consumption!
