Both radio and video play would have been better probably. "Sleeping in the Flowers" or "Know One Knows My Plan" would have been great; very catchy songs, with lots of energy, and I'm sure a great video could have been make from these. FS would probably have done well with TMHFO. A very catchy song, also with lots of energy, and they're already starting to play it (as on Viva Variety). New York City probably would have been pretty good, but do they want another cover song as their main single anyway? Istanbul was a cover (yes most ppl don't know this, but still...) and ppl might find out that this is a cover as well and just label them as another UB40! Spiralling Shape might have done well but it doesn't quite have the high energy of TMHFO that they might want for a single.

See, after 2 straight months of being horribly sick and losing 40 pounds (and a lifetime of being sick..) I recently fell into a three day diabetic coma and almost died on july 1st. I was helicoptered out of my hick-jackass town where they thought I was faking sickness (for six years or more) and I've been laid up in a hospital ICU for two weeks until I recovered. I narrowly escaped any permanent physical or mental (well.. ^_^ )damage thanks to about ten doctors, and I'll be paying the bills for quite some time. I'm just now getting used to being alive again, and unfortunatly I'm sure I'll be alive for quite some time. I'm currently not subscribed to the list because my main email account was canceled since I've been too busy being in a coma and learning that I have diabetes, so there. I won't be on the list for a while, but you can reach me here on this hotmail account for now if you like. Whatever.

What does everyone else think? Well, I think it depends on your definition of "alternative." If by "alternative" you mean what MTV considers alternative, like Bush or whatever, then I guess they aren't. But it you mean alternative as in something unconventional that doesn't appeal to as wide an audience, then yes, I think they'd be alternative. I tend to go with the latter - so much of what I listen to tends to defy categorization...

As there has been recent discussion of tmbg's genre and I had a small discussion last night about tmbg recent delving into genre parody, I thought I might make up the following grocery list for those who are less musically informed: Token Back To Brooklyn: TMBG's Style SEXXY: Funk (sorry, not RHCP) ending in Disco-esque strings, guitar reminiscent of hardrock prevelent in the 70's Till My Heads Falls Off: Pure TMBG writing mixed in with what appears to be badly performed grunge and gives me the idea that Bleach (first album by Nirvana) would be a more enjoyable listening experience, and then it repeats How Can I Sing Like A Girl: A more obvious stop in sixties rock has never been seen, the other influence being the Beatle's Free as a Bird or Blue Moon, interchangably Exquisite Dead Guy: The Second true throw back to tmbg of old, haboring no noticable resemblance to any as yet invented genre Metal Detector: Somewhat resembling a certain number of 70s glam rock songs with it's quiet beginnings going into the loud parts, unnecessary exact repetition after 2:00 minutes giving a full reminder of the alternative music that gets played on Mtv New York City: Aside from the bells at the beginning which give an idea of Vivaldi, or something, this song's "rip roarin'" attitude nearly completely gives it the tone of an unreleased track from a Hardrock album of the eighties (which is quite different from the 70s mentioned above) Your Own Worst Enemy: Though the organ makes me think of Counting Crows or even the Wallflowers, the confused Crosby, Stills and Nash line and Groucho Marx throws me completely into the carribean beat XTC vs. Adam Ant: I mentioned Glam Rock earlier, but this is more like it Spiralling Shape: Can you say "50s soap commercial?" After that, say "unnecessary rockin' ending" and you've got yourself a winner James K. Polk: A Folk Singer with with more than his usual jangly accoustic guitar and a singing saw (!?!) Pet Name: They had to visit funk just one more time, and this is it.

It's sooooooo great to be back! Thank you, thank you, thank you... So! Since May I've lived through the most stressful two weeks of my life (the last week of May and first week of June- dealing with approaching exams and a huge choir concert that needed to be planned, choreographed, memorized, and rehearsed at the same time), broken up with my boyfriend (which mean that all marriage proposals will be looked at objectively from here on out and not immediately deleted), spent three weeks at camp being a counselor-in-training, and that's pretty much it... I've discovered the joys of classic rock (Pink Floyd! Led Zeppelin! Cream! Jethro Tull- thanks, Kirsten, the tape rocks soo much! Grateful Dead! Etc., etc.) and the pain of too many Floodies in a cabin- I think 7 among the 18 CITs and 4 in my cabin of 7 the third week of camp, including the counselor in charge. But Sarah and i knew *all* the lyrics, not just Particle Man and Istanbul. Whew! Well, just wanted to let you guys know I'm Baaaaa-aaaaaack and better than ever. What a day of reunions!

Jeez, I can't stand it when people grovel like that.. LotharCo is named after a viking character me and my friend Bryan made up. Lothar the Viking is his name, and he starred in a very awful home movie where Lothar (who is me) meets Helga the Amazon Woman (played by Bryan). They fight each other and some arab terrorist played by my friend Harlan. Also, both team up against the vicious hellhound and cut off its head. Think "Highlander" only worse. It's so bad it's funny. Back on track: After that, we decided to make more films (like Custodian Bob meets Mean Man Plumber or The Natural Enquirer). And we needed a name to put at the end of the movies, you know, after the credits and all? So after some deliberation, we decided upon LotharCo. Partially because of the viking and partially because it sounds a little like the word "lethargic" which we are. We now have two more, full-length movies in the works (that means were still thinking about them and looking for time to film) and that, as they say, is it. As for the signatures, I sat down one night and wrote out about 25 different "slogans" for our "company". Since it's not really a real company, and it's pretty disorganized and general, all (or most) of our slogans work. We've been adding new ones ever since. Suggestions are always welcome.

I read somewhere that you listen to the lyrics but you dance to the beat. I think "Till My Head Falls Off" would've made a great single/ep (I also heard it was released as a radio single, but I'm probably wrong about that) because it's got that catchy tune you dance to. An example I'd like to bring up is Blur's "Song 2." It had a real catchy tune, and when you heard it the first 4 or 5 times all you (or me, at least) could understand was "WOOHOO!!" and then "whenifughtklavbaba" So I think TMHFO would've been a good single.

As a die-hard blur fan since the beggining of the band i'm gonna have to chime in here and say that A) Blur and TMBG have a very similar track record with their albums and B) blur's "Song 2" is by no means their first ultra-catchy tune. Go back to their first album, the single (in the US) was "There's no other way" and was very catchy, "There's no other way, all that you can do is watch them play." Second album, "Chemical World", catchy, but not as much as "There's no other way" (kinda like i don't think ana ng is as catchy as don't lets start, it's a close one though ) Third album. The single, of course, was "Girls & Boys" ('girls who are boys who like boys to be girls who like boys like they're...' you get the idea). Most blur fans feel about this album the way giant-heads feel about Flood, ie it's a good album, and possibly blur's best, but no true blur fan can *stand* anyone who only knows blur from "Girls & Boys". Fourth album, The Great Escape. This is blur's JH. They took a big departure from their previous feel and went with more of a big-band sound (lotsa horns). There are some good songs hidden on what is generally a too long album with too much fluff on it. They really lost alot of true fans with this album Fifth Album, the self titled 'blur'. "Song 2" extra-catchy. Not only that but there are alot of other good songs on the album. However, they sound all really *american* which is, personally, not what i look for when i listen to brit-pop. Oh well. I guess in short maybe a band like blur just knows how to write catchier (note: i did ***NOT*** say better) songs than a band like TMBG, songs that are more apt to radio and TV exposure - but then, thats why a bunch of us like TMBG better, coz 99% of the stuff on the radio and TV is, crap. -jdm * ------------------------------ Message-Id: <3.0.2.32.19970722175326.0068d304@email.acd.net> Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 17:53:26 -0400 From: amy beth geerling Subject: TMBG: Re: tmbg-list Digest #3-201 hay leroy- clarissa has totally "hearted" tmbg for ever since i can remember.... in fact, when i was in orlando on vacation one time, we took my little cousin to universal studios/nickelodeon studios. when i was waiting in line to get into nick, clarissa came on talking about her fave things..... and then they appeared, in cartoon form john...................and.......................john the park people had to revive me. it was the coolest part of my1992(?) summer vacation. tmbggirl, lets celebrate, where do we dcc a cake to? -jodfer/amy * ------------------------------ Message-Id: <3.0.1.16.19970722152328.3d4f2936@popmail.dircon.co.uk> Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 15:23:28 From: Joe Keith Subject: Re: TMBG: Single Debate...

I >checked the fine print and realized it was a cover. Why then is it >called Hello on the Oasis CD, and Hello Hello on Unsupervised? The Oasis song "Hello" isn't a cover per se; they use the musical figure from the chorus of the other song as a guitar riff for the chorus of their song, while the rest of it is new. The Mono Puff song, OTOH, is a cover of the song "Hello Hello" by glam rocker Gary Glitter. >Hmm... I immediately got TMHFO stuck in my head, Yes, but is it catchy in general? I gotta say no. For one thing, Pat Dillett's "mixing board? what mixing board?" production style leaves it sounding kinda flat, with nothing in particular sticking out of the mix. Secondly, the verses are all wrong -- frantic and wordy, exactly what they *shouldn't* be for single status. The chorus is *not* that catchy first time around. And, might I mention, the song sucks live. I don't know if it were just the sound system, but I was appalled at the Viva Variety performance.

Extremely doubtful. The fact is that Elektra is doing the smartest thing, businesswise, they could with TMBG. The reason that they don't promote TMBG releases is because IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY. TMBG haven't written a radio-ready single in five years. Look at it this way: how many of you got into TMBG through promotion (i.e. saw 'em on MTV, heard 'em on commercial radio) and how many of you got into them through friend's mix tapes, through the unofficial Tiny Toons videos, or other non-record company funded sources? Elektra knows that these are the ways that new TMBG fans are made, and wisely decide to spend their money on more lucrative projects. You may decry Elektra for investing in that Motley Crue record, but the fact is that it'll probably sell more copies than TMBG have in their career, and Elektra knows it. /---------------------------Joshua Hall-Bachner---------------------------\ | harlequin@tmbg.org http://www.servtech.com/public/particle/ | | "We all have our idiosyncracies -- maybe thinning hair, or gum disease."| \---- Kowanko, "Will You Come To?" ------ Thank You, And Goodnight. ------/ * ------------------------------ Message-ID: <33D5ACF8.300B@tmbg.org> Date: Wed, 23 Jul 1997 00:04:24 -0700 From: Ruprecht From: The Denominator Subject: TMBG: Linnell's chords On a totally different note...

I've only seen one of the shows (just to watch the Verve Pipe play Freshmen), and it was bunk until the band came on.
