   Get it get it get it get it get it!  _Hey_Babe_ is one of the albums
  of the year in my opinion.  She also has an EP out with a Dinosaur Jr.
  cover ("Raisans").

  A teeny tad more polished than Blake Babies stuff, but it's definitely
 for the better.

First off, yeah that single is just great--white vinyl with a hideous
looking troll doll on the cover.  I have it, and I guess it's generating
quite a second-hand value!  I don't care for Fleming's singing--he sounds
like a cross between Robyn Hitchcock and some doofus trying to sound
"alternative".  Although, I've some of the B.A.L.L. stuff is pretty great.

Second off, Lou quit only because it was made pretty clear to him that he
wasn't wanted.  J. admitted in an interview (with no evident remorse) that
he stopped liking Lou once he got a girlfriend because that didn't really
fit in with the band's image.  Annoying. 

I love Dinosaur and have been listening to them for a long time--but J.
seems like a complete unmitigated dickweed.  I'm still going to see Gas

I believe the song's title is "Thousand Points of Night".  Sounds really good.
Unfortunately, I don't know the artist except that Don Was (from Was Not Was)
was involved with the production.  I'm also interested in getting a copy. 
Anyone know the artist's names?  How it can be found?  Where?  12", CDsingle?

Why was there such a huge change of style between "The Flat Earth" and "Aliens

definitely not! And where did he pick up the American accent?

	I like both styles, but would like to here more "Hot sauce" type music.

  I've seen copies at record swaps for $20 but those are just money-wanting
  record collection scum wanting to make a fast easy buck.

   Go to a record store where you think the first shipping of _Dirty_
  may not have sold out yet .... like some dorky remote record store in a
  conversative town or something, and see if you can find the CD with the
 "Explicit Content" sticker on it.  If it's on the long box, then you got

It's not really *like* the Blake Babies except in its Juliana-ness.
She's a great songwriter and a really expressive singer (when I saw her
live you could see the veins popping out on the side of her neck).
She's decided to go in a poppy/hooky direction on this album, for most
of the songs, but her skewed attitude on life is still there.  I kinda
miss John's guitar but my feeling about this album is that it's DIFFERENT,
not better or worse.  I'd recommend it, and I'm a big BB fan.

A *Sid Vicious* cover???  BZZZZZTT!!  Sorry.  "I Want to Be Your Dog" was 
originally done by The Stooges waaaaay back in 1969 (The Stooges, or 
course, being Iggy Pop's original band).  And it was originally called "I 
WANNA Be Your Dog".  My friends and I consider it pretty ironic that Skin 
covered this track since we've always thought that Gira wants to sound

I originally had the LP of this, and you're right, the track is only on 
the CD version.  As well, the CD version of Skin's first (and, IMHO, 
superior) album, "Blood, Women, Roses", includes two extra tracks - a dub 
version of "Come Out" and a live version of "The Man I Love".

Our dorms are cleaner, our food is better, the grounds are nicer, yes

Our soundboard is 30 years old and a regular dinosaur yet the college

Girlfriend In A Coma may be a sad song, but I still get a grin on my
face whenever I hear it.  It doesn't exactly have funny lines, it's
just hysterically funny on how Morrissey twisted a simple relationship
between two people and had the girl be in a coma!

Of course, I suppose it's possible Morrissey knew someone whose
Girlfriend really was in a coma, but I seriously doubt it.

All in all, in my opinion I don't think Girlfriend was intended to be

As we all know, the Apollo program was the United States' manned moon landing

Thus, Apollo 18 is a continued exploration by the ambassadors for ISY that
picks up where the Apollo program left off.

as one track).

Without meaning to bring everybody down, I was very disappointed by the 
show, which was technically skilled, professional, and boring. All the hits,
one after another, just as they are on the albums...a big band (the two Johns
plus bassist, saxophonist/keyboardist, and drummer)...John F. teasing the 
audience by holding his guitar out to the pit (but not so they could TOUCH it,
oh no indeed!)...an encore after the token 60 seconds offstage. All the Rock
Star moves, and the show ended with the classic early 70s bloated instrumental.
Could it be...John and John have become Rock Stars?

If only I'd seen them when they still played with the same sense of fun they 
still put into their songs.
