Hello Friends: Well, I got my Direct From Brooklyn video yesterday (from amazon.com), and finally got to view it in it's entirety when I got back from a visit to family friends in South Jersey...it was really keen-o and all that (I love it actually), but something has been bugging me about it, and I just have to throw this out there: Does anybody remember a video for "Birdhouse In Your Soul" that had a white background, with John & John stomping around with small birdhouses on their heads? I saw the darker video for Birdhouse on Direct from Brooklyn, and I was kind've taken aback because it was a version I didn't remember seeing before. I like the dark video, too...but were there in fact two Birdhouse videos? I hope my memory isn't playing tricks on me here...Oh, and to make it completely and utterly official, the two Tiny Toons vids are at the end of the tape (and I think add a youthful, bright ending to it). I wouldn't be a bit surprised if J & J had some (if not all) of the creative input on their inclusion on DFB. They just seem like they belong there, IMHO :-) Love and Crustaceans, Karen "Oh no, here comes that dratted black hole again..."

It may have been Jordan who was implying that and if I have the wrong person or I am just imagining that implication please tell me. Anyway, one side of me says that if they really wanted one or more of those songs to appear on Factory Showroom then they would have done whatever it would have taken (i.e. more money, more recording time, etc.) to get it on the album. After all, it is a studio release and seeing as how some bands don't put anything out for years at a time it wouldn't seem like that big of a deal to re-record a few more songs if they really thought they should be on there. On the other hand, we know how musicians can be. They don't always have a ton of money or time and knowing how affliated organizations such as the Info Club can be so slow and never have time for certain things I tend to believe that songs were left off for time's sake. So I don't really know what the deal is with these extra Factory Showroom recordings. Surely, everything that is recorded doesn't necessarily make it onto an album, no matter who the band is. But I like to speculate on what might have been. -Matt ------------------------------ Message-Id: <4.1.19990507155634.0092f7a0@mail.clemson.edu> Date: Fri, 07 May 1999 15:57:33 -0400 From: Adam Tyner Subject: Re: TMBG: Factory Showroom Sessions songs I'm fairly sure TMBG have said that these songs weren't used because they didn't fit with the 'flow' of Factory Showroom.

"Careless Santa" was a Tiny Toons video, right? I think it would go well on a Christmas mix tape, anyway. -- May the light shine upon thee, Nathan Mulac "Rooty-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums" DeHoff DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/5447/ _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I thought that they might've had to rerecord because Electra held the rights to the Factory Showroom recordings. After all, they were recorded when under contract to Electra, so Electra would hold the rights to them. Now, I don't know what their exiting deal with Electra was, so they might've gained the rights to those outakes, but who knows? -Jay ------------------------------ Message-ID: <007a01be990e$952e8b80$183f0904@aah1084-access> From: "Amy :)" Subject: Re: TMBG: Re: Rat Patrol Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 00:52:29 -0400 -----Original Message----- From: Danielle Gaither >Derek A Klein wrote: >> I'm pretty sure what Flans meant by this is that it's not the slow, >> Flans-singing-a capella version.

However, it *did* sound like Linnell to me in the new version, but I have to say it wasn't the best quality.

Maybe I Know? Love it! Reprehensible? Finally, a studio version! Counterfeit Faker? I could listen to that song all day! The old DAS recordings? My copy of PODAS is like, 68th generation and sounds it. So I just want to say that I, for one, am really happy about this new album.
