They made "code " names and put those names on a name tag and wore those to the concert. Maybe we should use code names or just write listee or some junk. For those who know who BFF are: My brother got an E mail from Robert Sledge's girlfriend. She needed a ride, or something like that. So my brother gave her (and Robert Sledge) a ride to the show.

I think a lot of the songs would benefit greatly from the addition of a *real live, breathing, natural* drummer, and bassist. I know that the drum machine has it's charms on many of the earlier songs, but I would flip out for an album of reworked favorites. I like John Henry the best out of all the albums, probably because it boasts the full extent of They flavor, but with a more 'professional musician' sound. If They are worried about "flooding the market with material," then I'll point out to Them that Then:TEY is like 70% old material, but still radiates with greatness.

Yeah, buddy! I'm not even sure what the story is here -- what exactly this was replying to -- but I agree at least with that statement wholeheartedly. This is not to stir up trouble within a circle whose participants obviously enjoy what they do and with no harm done to the outside world, but just to express support for someone else who has.

When the other bands that arent TMBG play this show, theres always silly looking dancing girls. Their appearance was sans dancing. Thinking about this, I realized that John and John probably protested this exploitation, and it made me proud. Dunno, just bored.

Why is it people who rarely ever post always are the ones complaining about repetitive subjects and such? You're either part of the problem (or so-called problem, in this case) or part of the solution. Lurking for LONG periods of time and then complaining about people who actually do write to the list is not part of the solution, now is it. Tired of OMLT's, UMLT's, AKA's, Space Ghost, Serious Songs, and all the other popular threads at the moment? Well, duh, why don't you actually post something new and interesting then?

A.M.TMBG, I dont know anything about 'This Time' or 'Free Live Tracks', but i do know that Elektra is owned by, you guessed it, Warner Communications, and therefore they technically own the rights to anything published by Elektra.
