There is nothing worse than gettting a stoopid chain letter when all you want is info on TMBG bootlegs, concerts, etc., etc. I have always had faith that those who listen to TMBG are somewhat cooler than the ignorant masses who do not. However, today that faith was shaken a bit. Either you (the chain letter person) are taking serious mind altering drugs, or you are an imposter! Either way, go away. I don't like you. On another note, it has taken far to long for my TMBG order to come in the mail.

Well, let's see. This sounds like a bunch of crap to me. Of course, I'd simply die if the Johns actually came ON the List or IRC, but you know... I know a guy on EFNet by the name of Flansburg and his real name is ALEX. That, and I have TMBP's email address. Don't even ask me about it. But the server is most certainly NOT ufp.org.

Message-ID: i was just thinking... suppose, for strictly hypothetical purposes, that either Flans or Linnell actually decided to pop in on the list. how would we know it was really them? the answer: we wouldn't. any question that we could ask to verify, we ourselves would know the answer to, thus not proving a damn thing. so, as somebody earlier today (i deleted the message hours ago, so i don't remember who) said, short of meeting up with one of Them in person -- as *some* people on this list have been so lucky as to do ;) -- there's no way of being sure. even such things as the Restless chat with Linnell last fall could have theoretically been staged. not so likely for the restless chat, but it's a formal possibility. --jim kuemmerle, who spends far too much time thinking about these sorts of things, especially when he's in the middle of a mean ugly nasty nucleic acids biochemistry take-home exam with sharp pointy teeth... j.kuemmerle@m.cc.utah.edu http://www.geocities.com/soho/gallery/4668/ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <34D7F598.57DD@geocities.com> Date: Tue, 03 Feb 1998 20:59:04 -0800 From: Nathan Mulac DeHoff Organization: The Intergalactic Cult of VoVat Subject: Re: TMBG: In the presence of greatness Vladimir Drakul wrote: > > > >First of all, I thought Linnell was more of the computer one, and does he > > >refer to him as Flans?

It actually says "Mr. Flansburgh," not "Flans." Linnell might well be aware that people refer to his partner as "Flans," but I've never seen any indication that he uses this nickname himself. Anyway, the odds are about twenty thousand million to one (probably even worse, actually, but I wanted to use a TMBG reference) that the Johns actually signed this guy's guestbook. -- Nathan Mulac DeHoff vovat@geocities.com http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/5447/ "All I know could be defaced by the facts in the life of Chess Piece Face." ------------------------------ Message-Id: <3.0.3.32.19980203202827.006aa5b8@mail.clemson.edu> Date: Tue, 03 Feb 1998 20:28:27 -0500 From: Adam Tyner Subject: TMBG: New promo CD? Someone posted something to alt.music.tmbg about a new promo CD with Dr. Worm, Don't Let's Start, and Purple Toupee. I haven't heard anything about this, and I was wondering if this actually exists.

This is the CD with the Johns performing Particle Man. Anyway, I think it's a great version of the song and a great CD altogether... Definitely go out and buy this album... Here's a list of the songs: 1. Supersonic - Oasis 2. Honey White - Morphine 3. Kimberly Austin - Porno for Pyros 4. It's About Time - Evan Dando 5. C'mon Billy - PJ Harvey 6. Undone ( the sweater song) - Weezer 7. Kiss Off - Violent Femmes 8. Particle Man - They Might Be Giants 9. Pretty Vacant - Sex Pistols 10. American Jesus - Bad Religion 11. Crazy Mary - Victoria Williams with Lou Reed 12. Aeroplane - Bjork 13. Villians - The Verve Pipe 14. Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead It has a bunch of great songs and I learned an interesting fact in the liner notes... It states that TMBG have performed on 120 minutes 6 times, which is more than any other act... thought that was kinda cool... that's all... v^v Jeffro v^v "If you ever get close to a human, a human being, you'd better be ready to get confused..." - Bjork "I'm having a BIG HEAD day!" - Space Ghost _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
