See, I was watching this special on Elton John on VH1, and they were talking about the different places he performed, and one just happened to be The Troubadour. As to what a troubadour actually is, don't look at me.

Organization: AOL (http://www.aol.com) well, i was just dazedly flipping thru emails and decided to read the tmbg digest for the new year... i hope you all had as much fun last night as i did!! skeleton key continue to rock down the house. >>>>Wow! What's up with the 45 single from Linnell? I never heard of it, >does >anyone actually have it?<<< unfortunately i have it, its pretty bad. thats an understatement. three words: "Funnier Than Love." but we made a couple tshirts outa of the supercool album art, its a neato 80's drawing of a girl by a record player. and theres the awful picture of linnell w/bleached hair on the back that'd make all the ladies weep. makes a nice tshirt. PARTY LIKE ITS 1982!! er sorry well, i just finished washing erik sanko's "complimentary champaigne toast" outa my hair. i was under the impresion a toast usually involved glasses but hey, if he wants to spritz the audience thats cool too. so ANYway, the opening band was Flux Information Society and they were sorta the last (or first?) of the noise-art rockers (they were playing the drum machine thru the keyboard and the guitarist had an FX pedal taped to the guitar) and who should stroll out to the drum kit but Phil aka DJ ***** of monopuff!! he remembered us too. just one of those weird little coincidences... why the hell am i so tired? ~liz "I really couldnt dream of spending new years with a nicer bunch of pathetic drunks than you!" -erik sanko ------------------------------ From: mr.train@juno.com Date: Thu, 1 Jan 1998 22:44:19 -0500 Subject: Re: TMBG: Lincoln the band Message-ID: <19980101.225336.6446.0.Mr.Train@juno.com> I know I've mentioned this before but, www.cdexchange.com has one promo copy (they USED to have two! But I got one!) of Lincoln... not sure what the difference is... but I did notice something, when I bought the commercial copy of Lincoln, there was a different cover than the one I saw at the Boathouse concert... the cover of the one I bought at the store (12.99!) has an airplane on it, and the one I saw at the concert was all purple and blue... what's the deal with that? (or should I say "What Up?") Tim, he got the new Refreshments CD, MOM II, the Merbabies, and Travelling Without Moving for Christmas! (along with an N64...)
