Mr. Bergeron knows more about the song "Du Hast" than the band that created it. That's really amazing. So no one talked about this. Is "du hast" (aka "you have") pronounced the same way as "du hasst" (aka "you hate")? If it is, or even if we can logically conclude that the band is saying "du hasst", then why are we dragging this out? We can blame the lovely American record company for fucking up the lyric sheet and move on. Reminder: I really just don't like Rammstein one bit. In fact, I laugh when I hear them...they just sound humorous to me (like Humpmuscle, but I doubt anyone's heard of them). I just find it hard to believe that a bunch of self-proclaimed hard-asses like Rammstein would change lyrics like the bubble-gum pop groups of Nena and Falco. But hey, maybe Mr. Bergeron has some amazing insight into this band that no one else has.

Just thought I'd share the wonderful news. TMBG are coming to Pointfest! I was listening to the radio and they mentioned all of the bands coming, and then played Snail Shell, and announced They as one of the bands. I'm really excited, but I think they only have lawn seats left. So... if any of you are thinkin' about going, let me know. It's at Riverport Ampitheater in case you didn't know. Also, if any of you were listening to the Point last night and heard some guy call in and ask about They instead of WWF tickets, which I think I might have had a chance to win, that was me. I really pissed Joe and John off. They kept asking me about WWF junk and I kept asking about TMBG. Thanks.

A century being 100 years, I put 100 votes in today. Today was one of those days that I actually got some time in on the internet. Anyway, after the first 50 or so votes, I noticed that that Flansie's tally only went up about 3 or 4. That bothers me... i labeled everything in my cookies folder, and deleted everything that those pages put in there. Also, about halfway through my voting spree, I accidentally left the zip code box blank, and everytime after that, Flansburgh was at #4, but with 400 votes or something like that. Odd.... >I really pissed Joe and John off. They kept asking me about WWF junk and >I kept asking about TMBG. Way To Go!!!!
