Oh oh oh I completely agree - I fell in love with Concrete and Clay long ago when someone was nice enough to make me a copy of PODAS.

Kind of along the "Wildfire", & "Horse With No Name" line... Sounds like just the kind of song They would pick for one of their obscure, in-joke covers.

It's really very simple. Venues make their money sort of on tickets but definately on drink orders. So 21+ shows are done less for reasons of simplicity-in-ID-checking (because all venues worth their weight in Jack Daniels have a stamp/armband/Xing system of some sort), but more because they know that they will have an all-drinking crowd. The last Rufus Wainwright show in NYC was a 21+ show- which was bad for me, but made perfect sense for the Bowery. Rufus has a strong (hard-drinkin') hipster fanbase, and they knew they could sell out the show (and they did) without the help of non-drinkin' kids. When Flans says that TMBG fans are notoriously bad tippers, I'm willing to bet he's only half kidding. Venues and promoters are much more likely to welcome bands back if the fans spend lots of money at the bar in addition to selling the place out. A band who gets a reputation for having a young fanbase (even if it's not totally true) will have to drag that around whenever they are looking for a place to play. I guess my point is...um...Drink.

If they decide to do UnLTD like this from now on I'll be ecstatic, but like I've said in my past bitchings I never expected to get more than maybe 5 "rare/exclusive" songs per month from UnLTD and we weren't even getting that. This update alone with 23 tracks is almost 5 months worth of what I was expecting out of TMBGU in the first place. That makes me very happy. And all these songs still barely scratch the surface of what TMBG have lying around so hopefully we'll be in for a lot more of this stuff in the last 5 updates of the year. I don't expect updates of 20+ songs per month (not that I'd complain either:) but 5 or so of these types of songs per month, plus anything else they want to throw us would make me a happy camper. Thank you TMBG. For the first time, I don't regret my subscription.

Message-ID: <3B421DF9.BA02A14A@uswest.net> I typically like going to the 18+ shows for 2 reasons.. 1) they don't check for hidden tape recorders for the 18+ shows (you didn't hear that from me;), and 2) the crowd wasn't as rowdy as the under age shows. The only Giants show that I'd ever attended was an all-ages show... the little freaks were just obnoxious. I was within arm's length from the stage.. I remeber Linnell gave me a look like I'd been staring..instead of watching.. The pit in front of the stage was so cramped I was almost knocked off my feet. Somebody tried picking my buddy's pocket... I've never run across that at any of the 18+ shows I'd been at.. After that show, any all-age shows were typically spent my time watching from the upstairs bar, where you were carded before you entered.. much less chaotic.

I'm not sure if I'll keep the subscription, due to budgetary reasons, but I'll certainly be taking advantage of everything up there this month! Speaking of which, the June stuff is still on the page, could someone repost the direct link to July's stuff? I also noticed this when signing up: Upon the release of TMBG's new rock album (scheduled for Spring, 2001), you'll also receive an autographed copy of the CD as a part of your TMBG Unlimited subscription. Admittedly, a bit out of date (also said something about signing up to get your fleece "just in time for winter"), but I don't remember anyone here mentioning it. Wonder if that's still part of the deal.

Wonder if that's still part of the deal. Yes it is. And you also should get WUFTM if you sign up now, and that wasn't part of the original deal. -scratch ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 16:16:17 -0400 From: "Asa Pillsbury" Subject: TMBG: Re: For those of you who havn't found it already Message-ID: <9ht95s05cv@enews4.newsguy.com> Organization: http://extra.newsguy.com Sylvan wrote: > Anyone who complains about this month's Unlimited will be taken outside > and shot.

All I have to say is "wow." Actually, I have a bit more to say. From what I heard on the list, I thought it was going to be terrible, but I absolutely LOVE the new version for these reasons three: 1). The lyrics fit the music; 2). The vocals sound much more meanacing ... especially in the opening verse; 3).One word: Vocoder. Yeah, I liked the old guitar-driven version, too, and I'm glad I was able to hear it, but I'm really digging this techno version right now. I can't wait until the new CD comes out ... but I hope they don't do too much with "Bangs," as the version of that song I already heard was supreme aural bliss. thanks to whoever posted the restless site ... you made my day! -Casey ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 20:17:30 EDT From: Gegatron@aol.com Subject: TMBG: Ok Here's an Idea Message-ID: WE ALL MUST BAND TOGETHER AND MAKE AN ORGANIZED LIST OF WHAT SONGS WE WANT ON TMBG UNLIMITED. Then we can email it to operator dot and she'll give it to the Johns and they will know exactly what we want. Everyone should email me a list of what you want and i'll tally them all up, and I'll mail her, unless someone else wants to take the responsibility. Actually DOT, if you do read this list, does this sound like a good idea? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 20:48:25 EDT From: CallMeDoctorWorm@aol.com Subject: TMBG: Restless Website Message-ID: <7f.16ac4cb8.2873c1d9@aol.com> I just checked out the restless website, and I think it's cool cuz they play Boss of Me at the beginning.
