Glastetter" Subject: TMBG: K-Rock... Message-ID: Alright, I haven't posted in over a year, but I'm still here & just have to say something. Have you ever had one of those bands that's like "No, they're MY band! Pop music can't have them! They are for me and my friends only!" It happened recently with my friends and David Gray. We all really liked him & BAM! one day he becomes famous & played all over the radio! It looks like TMBG may be taking a similar path. "Boss of Me" was played on a station called K-rock up here in central NY (I think there's a cool K-rock somewhere, but this one sucks, trust me, I'm still a WFNX, Boston, fan). Anyway, this station hasn't played TMBG since I've been up here & because of "Boss Of Me," well they're playing it several times a DAY! Pop music can't have them! They're ours! Well, at least I still have Self, Placebo (who still haven't even released their new album in America), Doughty and others. College radio, by the way, is where it's at. --Jason Glastetter ==================================================================== http://www.poingly.com - - Home of the infamous Poingly online game! http://www.mp3.com/poingly - - Download Poingly mp3 songs for FREE!! ==================================================================== ------------------------------ From: "Erich Cannon" Subject: TMBG: Re: TMBG action figures Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 01:59:13 -0800 Message-ID: Okay folks I think this action figure thing is a cool idea.

Pop music can't > have them! They're ours! Think of it this way, REM threw out 'Stand' because they new it would be gobbled up by Top40 stations. It's fluff. (..ok, bad example.... 'Boss of Me' isn't fluff, but it IS only one song.) I doubt They will be swallowed up by the masses. Pop music is only interested in SONGS, they don't care about the BANDS and the OTHER tracks they may have to offer (which are probably better......) As I've said before, I don't think They will be ruined by this top40 status w/ 'Boss..'. (on the other hand, if top40 was ALL Them, that would be interesting......huh? sorry.....daydreaming..) > College radio, by the way, is where it's at. Amen, brother.
