Subject: TMBG: re sin city
I dont think john and john are crying about credits scrolling over them.
They're probably quite happy they got the chance to do more than one song.
Plus all the skill and time creating the song is captured on the cd. if they
wrote the song especially for sin city and were cut off in the middle then
they have a right to be upset, but they didnt and if you noticed the credits
were spaced far apart so you could see them play the song and so they could
play longer before the credits ended. Like i was saying some people are
really uptight when it comes to TMBG.

yes... a couple of theories
#1 they've hit their mid-life era and they're beginning to feel
disconnected from the youth, (a lot of which is) their fans.
#2 they're desperately trying to sell-out and so, they think cussing
makes 'em look cooler... become more appealing to the teeny-boppers. I
think this goes along with the "we're gonna play Dr. Worm twice at every
show" thing.
(there's something to argue...are they trying to sell-out?)

Does anyone have a reasonable guess as to why everyone's so hung up about
that? I haven't been to any of their shows before this year, so I can't say
anything about them. But in the past, Flans has said that he always
inadvertently swears at shows his parents come to see. He's said, "I'm not
fucking kidding!" during the conga intro for quite a while now. On one of the
letters on the website, Linnell makes a reference to something (I forget what)
being "fucked up and disturbing." So it's not like they were these 2
squeaky-clean guys who have suddenly become potty-mouthed heathens (sorry if
I've shattered any images here ;) ).
Perhaps they are swearing more in current shows than previously, but I highly
doubt it's an effort to become more or less commercial. I like to think
they're smarter than that (thinking more swearing will suddenly bring them
loads of fans, that is). Perhaps they're just more in a swearing mood. It
doesn't bother me.

thought i jumped out of a soup can. just before he walked out of the

Heh . . . I thought it was "Invisible" at first, myself.
Hmm, what else? There's probably a lot for me - I'd have to
listen to all my tapes and CDs again - but I do remember one from The Day.
Of course, for some reason, I still haven't fully learned the words for
The Day, so I might actually be right! ;]

Subject: TMBG: Absolutely Sweet Marie's Mood
I asked the list about connections between Bob Dylan and They and a few
people pointed out that "Absolutely Bill's Mood" was supposed to be like
the Dylan title "Absolutely Sweet Marie". Well, I looked up the lyrics
to ASM and I can't seem to find any connection. So, here's the lyrics.
If anybody can make a connection, please, do tell. The song is off of
the album _Blonde on Blonde_, so if the lyrics in any way sound sexual,
they probably are. ASM seems to be about sexual longing, and ABM seems
to just be a goofy song about being nuts. Or am I missing something?
the sfc
ABSOLUTELY SWEET MARIE
your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick
Yes, I waited for you when you hated me
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
When you knew I had some other place to be
Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Well, six white horses that you did promise
Were fin'lly delivered down to the penitentiary
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
I know you always say that you agree
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, I don't know how it happened
But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate
But ev'rybody else, even yourself
They're just gonna have to wait.
Well, I got the fever down in my pockets
The Persian drunkard, he follows me
Yes, I can take him to your house but I can't unlock it
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key
Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed
That a man can't give his address out to bad company
And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad
In the ruins of your balcony
Wond'ring where you are tonight, sweet Marie.

Subject: Re: TMBG: Dr Worm single in the UK
Just a quick update
Having talked to Cooking Vinyl today the position appears to be as
follows:-
Dr Worm is still due to be released as a single. No definite date set yet
but hopefully January.
At the moment there are planned to be 3 songs on the B-side. These are
Birdhouse, Istanbul/Not Constan (excuse spelling) and XTC vs Adam Ant.
I understand these will be off STD except perhaps Istnabul/Not Constan
which may be a different version. I emphasize the word may.
Not much else to report but I will contact them again in December and will
update you all then.
Out of interest, if all the tracks are off STD but bearing in mind it was
never released as a single in the States is there likely to be any demand
for the single in the States as a collectors item?

Personally I'm offended that you could suggest such a thing...The johns
selling out?? no way. The music of tmbg isn't for them about publicity,
it's a personal project for the two of them.

What definition of "sell out" are you using here? I looked up the
expression in the dictionary, and it basically said that the phrase
meant "to turn traitor." Now, since the Johns are working primarily for
Themselves, in order to "turn traitor," They would have to do something
that They don't want to do. I would imagine that They probably DO want
to curse and play "Dr. Worm" twice at every show, and, therefore, are
not "selling out."

I fail to see how his smiling at you would cause you to think he was
Flans. Does Flans typically smile the same way when you see him? Have
you ever even MET Flans?

It's probably just the titles of the songs that are similar, rather than

Well, I probably wouldn't want it. I'm pretty sure that some collectors

Last time I saw Rockapella, Barry Carl sang lead on the best version of

Many modern a cappella bands have a vocal percussionist. The House Jacks

It sounds like you're a budding a cappella fan, m'friend! :) You may want

your a cappella needs (they're quite reputable, have no fear.)

Doubt it. If a Dr. Worm single is made, then it will probably be released
through the info club as well. That kind makes sense...

Hey, Mike will drive her (this was before i knew the real name for aka
driver)
:Hey, Nyquil driver
The world's a dress (a friend thought (and still believes) this one)
The world's adress
So if you predict in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul
:So if you've got a date... :
So I wont sit at home any more and you wont see my head in Mountain Dew
:So I wont sit at home any more and you wont see my head in the window:
The greatest man, person man
:Degraded man, person man:
Throw the crypt door wide
:Throw the crib door wide:
For bieng lazy falls like a spell
:For king-lazy-bones like myself:
And hit my head on the pole of the table and I told him I slipped today
:and hit my head on the wall of jail where the two of us live today:
So sneak out this class suburban
: so sneak out this glass of bourban:
I was invincible, now I'm invincible
: I was uncomfortable, now im uncomfortable:
Don't even get me started on Letterbox
If it makes a difference, I thought WLSD was a drug as opposed to a station

These two are supposed to be confused -- listen to the lyrics of the song.

Subject: TMBG: lyrics and dreams
When I first heard Ana Ng I thought that that little distorted voice said "I
don't twirl the world, I just want your hat"
I know I had a few others but I'm sick and I want to go to bed
oh yeah, i had a weird TMBG dream
it was caffine induced
It was in the 80's and they did this weird commercial for some kind of pill
Flans was walking down the sidewalk with Linnell and he grabbed his stomach
and fell to the ground and was moaning "Oh no! They slipped me a bromine
pill!" But then Linnell helped him back up and said "No they didn't, they gave
you a pill of brine((too much chemistry..erg)) and Flans was like "Oh, ok" and
they went on their way, and then my dream went to a weird music video of
thiers where they were singing a song about a gardener, and my dream had the
little words on the bottom of the screen that music videos usually have. It
was about theFCBR Gardener or something..don't ask me, I have no idea what
that means..
Off to sleep for me!

i'm pretty sure it's a pun..
"she's on ________"
because as you know, TMBG are good like that.

of course, who can forget the closed captioning in brain candy... <g>
(for: "everyone wants to see that groovy thing")
"but all i wants to see the the groove within"
or something like that. actually i don't think that's it - i think it's more
off. <g>

120 mph (speedometer). and the litle hand is on 'E' --empty. he's a
nyquil driver. psycho crazy and all that.

This isn't TMBG but its still funny. In hearing the song Lucy in the
Sky With Diamonds by the Beatles I thought that the line "The girl with
kaledescope eyes" was "The girl with colitis go by"
