Given the history of the info club's reliability when it comes to on-time delivery, if the compilation is only delayed into early 1999, then we should consider ourselves lucky. :) Harf, Mitch http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~mitcharf/index.html "Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh." - George Bernard Shaw ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1998 21:37:33 -0500 Subject: TMBG: Re: new video comp Message-ID: <19981109.213734.13774.0.Superman75@juno.com> From: superman75@juno.com (Adam Schaaf) hi. i'm just hoping the info club won't have a repeat of last year. you might recall the large groups who never even saw the catalouge (that's how i spell it) until months, if ever, after it was sent out. there wasn't one in the mail today, but i'm not about to worry yet. i can get the video comp in stores. i'm looking for a new shirt and hat. your underking of pop trivia, adam schaaf * ------------------------------------------ Philly Tour Dates Dec. 12 - The Bouncing Souls someone else please come soon! * ------------------------------------------ ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Hi there. I just (finally) updated my sounds page with new stuff.. it's from the 10/16/98 show at The Bowery Ballroom in New York City. The songs are: Severe Tire Damage Theme - Featuring Jim O'Conner & Dan Levine on trumpet and trombone. The Famous Polka - The song that's so nice, they played it twice! Working Undercover For the Man - A brand new song about a rock group that is secretly working for the government. Ana Ng - With the 'I can't feel my arm' vocoder intro.. similiar to the 'Where's my eye?' intro that many of you have heard. Songs Songs Songs - A little Linnell improv song. Mr. Tambourine Man - A cool rendition of the classic Bob Dylan song, also the insparation for Weep Day. Sorry I Fucked Up the Show - John & John each did their own little versions between different songs, I have spliced them together for your listening enjoyment. Istanbul (Not Constantinople) - Some cool solos at the beginning, and an extended ending. She's An Angel - I'm so glad they brought this one back to their set.. JohnF plays a wicked slide guitar! Also, coming soon to my Mono Puff page.. pics from the 8/18/98 & 11/7/98 shows! http://i.am/tdk or, if that doesn't work for some reason: http://www.cybercomm.net/~tdk/index.html -Mike PS Please sign my guestbook! ------------------------------ From: tmbgirl@juno.com Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1998 21:02:15 -0700 Subject: Re: TMBG: new vid comp Message-ID: <19981109.212158.3654.1.TMBgirl@juno.com> >I dont understand what the catologe (sp???) is saying.

I think the best example of this is with the release of Then: The Earlier Years. As you all may recall, it was announced that it would be out in late '96. Then we heard it was going to be released on January 25th, 1997. Then February 25th, and finally March 25th. take it easy, JOrdaN http://www2.netcom.com/~arnot/joda/bootlegs.html ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
