Well, Blur has cited XTC as an influence. Also, Andy Partridge was once hired to produce a few Blur tracks, but they turned him down when the mixes sounded too much like XTC. So I guess it's not all THAT weird. >and to the person who _finally_ said something about the sanity test thing >(it was somthing like "please don't forward things like this to the list" >...i'm sorry, i have an itchy delete finger. bad habit. )...

I have MANY male friends who like pantyhose, tight (women's) velvet of silky shirts, platform boots that come up to the knees, tight dreeses (nothing frilly), tight plastic (or vynil) pants *yum*, and all sorts of spikes and chains. They also wear subtle make-up (mostly eye, rarely lipstick or blush) But lipstick, when they wear it (usually dark) works well with them. And one of them, likes to shave off his eyebrows, I used to as well, until I got a job. Plus their skinny (nearly anorexic) bodies work well with the clothing they wear. The womens clothing they wear is not conspicuous, you have to look twice in order to tell. I bet Linnell would look ravishing in a tight velvet black shirt, and black vynil pants *mmmmmm* Of course he looks ravishing in just about everything he wears. > -- > Yours 'til my head falls off > Nathan (who has long hair, but prefers to wear fairly loose > clothing) > DinnerBell@tmbg.org > http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/5447/ > Mysterio Gal (who likes tight, silky, and velvety garb) "His father wanted to build a platform, that rotated clockwise, to get the kid to look him in the eye!" --SIRMILLARDMULCH MST3K#88182 ICQ#9585405 gray42@juno.com, send attachments to mr_realgal@yahoo.com http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Coffeehouse/4871 The Official Project Omicrom website: www.geocities.com/SoHo/Square/9007 > ______________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail you don't need Web access to use -- Or get full, reliable Internet access from Juno Web!

(Nasdaq: EMUS), a leading seller of downloadable music on the Internet, and San Francisco-based Wired Planet today announced the launch of a network of new 24-hour-a-day audio stream channels on Wired Planet featuring music from They Might Be Giants and other top independent artists from EMusic.com's expanding catalog of over 25,000 tracks. Access to the first two of these high-quality MP3 channels, 'Radio They Might Be Giants' and 'EMusic Electronic' is available by downloading the Wired Planet player via www.emusic.com/promo/wiredplanet. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19990602/LAW064 ) "Our new venture with Wired Planet will help make it easier for music fans to discover and listen to the best new independent music," said Gene Hoffman, EMusic.com president and CEO. "If they like what they hear on the EMusic Network, they'll be able to purchase and download the music with a few clicks of their mouse. We expect that this online convenience will be very similar to the way that real radio helps drive interest and traffic into traditional record stores." "We're excited to team up with EMusic.com to bring even more quality independent music to our interactive community of music enthusiasts," said Thomas Hale, CEO of Wired Planet. "This partnership gives our listeners more options to enjoy, collect, and share digital music on the Web. The new Wired Planet desktop application makes it easier than ever to listen to EMusic.com tracks, learn about the artists -- and share those discoveries with friends." Radio They Might Be Giants Besides "EMusic Electronic", an audio channel sampling the best of EMusic.com's collection of electronic music, Wired Planet is also launching "Radio They Might Be Giants"-- featuring music from and selected by members of the eclectic pop/rock band They Might Be Giants (TMBG). In addition to the band's new MP3-only album Long Tall Weekend and other catalog, Radio TMBG includes artists that have inspired the Giants over the years, such as Soul Coughing, Frank Black, Eugene Chadbourne and Laura Cantrell. "I've always been interested in alternative forms of radio," explains John Flansburgh of TMBG. "I believe that there's a sizable and very real audience out there for whom today's radio doesn't appeal -- because the nature of commercial radio isn't flexible enough. It's exciting for us to be able to create radio programming that isn't pre-packaged. We hope this appeals to our fan base, but we also want to find and attract new listeners in the process." EMusic.com and Wired Planet have selected Ynot.com to help promote the launch of Radio TMBG. Using Ynot's leading electronic greeting card technology, the two companies will promote the new channel and the band's upcoming national tour with a direct e-marketing campaign. Copies of the animated TMBG "e-announcement" is available at http://staging.ynot.com/tmbg/tmbg33K.html for music fans with low bandwidth Internet connections and http://staging.ynot.com/tmbg/tmbghi.html for high speed connections.

The part that shocked me more than anything else, though, was when the song Concrete and Clay came on in the background. I'd never heard the original before, but the TMBG version (which I've only ever heard on the Power of Dial-a-Song compilation) is one of those songs that I can listen to over and over, like Tryptophane!

Lots of fun baggy corduroy pants, t-shirts with all sorts of fun and subversive bands on 'em, (either that or robots/anime) Which is the weird thing... TMBG is the only band that sounds REMOTELY like them that I like. My musical tastes lean more towards the NOFX/ Fat Wreck school of theory, with a lot of ska/reggae/skatecore and a lil' industrial. Nothing at all that sounds REMOTELY like TMBG, unless someone wants to draw some parallels between KMDFM and the Johns? (Heh) Mmm. Free Live REM Show. Heh. Emar. "Whoa!

Every fan should have this on their desktop 24 hours a day! I'm listening to songs from the Hello CDs right now, stuff i've never heard before and probably never would because of the price. As i'm typing, John Linnell is telling me all of the tour dates They will be playing in Sept. That just totally rocks! I don't think this is broadcast like a regular radio station. By that i mean that everyone is not hearing the same songs at the same time. If you exit out and come right back in you'll hear a new song. I guess this is so you don't come in listening to the middle of a song. Hmmm... that's weird... i'm listening to S-E-X-X-Y right now and it's labeled as Meet James Ensor.

I've heard several times that it's gonna premiere sometime in January. I don't know if it was always expected to be a midseason show, but that's how it seems now. And just because it's gonna be at 7pm (eastern, I assume?) doesn't mean that it'll be geared toward kids. It will be leading into King of the Hill, unless they change the schedule. Remember, "World's Funniest" which used to lead into Fox's Sunday night lineup survived for 2 or 3 years simply because people were waiting for the later programs, or because they didn't stop watching after whatever sports programming had been on. But in the end, I really don't suspect that "Malcolm in the Middle" will be a show with any redeeming qualities besides the theme... It'll probably resemble one of the shows they threw out the window at Fox last year... Bob "But it is Fox, so I suppose anything could happen!"
