Subject: MD trades
Greetings!
Does anyone on this list trade MiniDiscs? If so, I'm interested in BF5
live material, as well as studio outtakes and hard-to-find B-Sides. I'm
particularly interested in a good recording of a HORDE show w/ the
string section backing BF5. Contact me off-line at
kennemck@sbservices.com with trade proposals (I only make 1 for 1
trades!).
Regards,
Ken McKenna

Brendan (the person listing the Best of British exports/imports)forgot:
~ Take That
~ Bush
~ Cracker (= "fitz".... but fatter)
~ Monty Python
~ London... the place where the boys feel really understood..
~ sarcasm
but i think we're about even, cos you (you, personally), gave us... THE
BACKSTREET BOYS! my eternal gratitude. ( i was joking about TT and Bush, btw)
and if anyone who's anyone in BFF-circles(cliques and coteries...) is
reading, ***BRITAIN DOESN'T END AT LONDON***, there is life in the
southwest, in particular EXETER, hint hint, a gig would be nice.
Anyway, i'm really posting to say how grate "She don't use jelly" is...
it's going on my mix tape! Are the Flaming Lips anything like Bff? or is it
a total piss-rip?
Oh, and re: the Teletubbies... anyone who's seen Thom Yorke singing with
the expression on his face like he's crying... he IS the
freaky-baby-sun-god thing!!

It was just a joke guys. Ben and the boys were poking fun at ska music.

Saw BFF at the Burt Bacharach tribute in New York City last night. Their
version of "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" was outstanding. Watch it on
TNT next Wednesday and I bet you won't sit still for the rocking ending!
Ben looked really cool (albeit different) in his orange-colored corduroy
suit while the guys also looked dapper in their suits and ties. Sorry I
missed them outside after the show as I was very eager to give them a copy
of my Elvis Costello fanzine. I hope the boys got to meet Elvis.

Much apologies if this has already been posted...
By Mark Bautz <mailto:Mark_Bautz@ew.com> As rain fell outside
Manhattan's sold-out Hammerstein Ballroom Wednesday night, Gen X's
hippest piano player, Ben Folds, banged out a winningly raucous version
of "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head." The occasion: a star-studded
musical tribute to the song's composer, venerable piano man Burt
Bacharach. (The concert airs Wed., April 15, at 9 p.m. on TNT.)
Backstage, Folds, who looked natty in a '70s-ish velvet jacket and
turtleneck, told EW Online that Bacharach is welcome to produce his
band's next album. "He can probably fix a few problems we've been
having," joked Folds. "You know, our singing out of tune, playing a
little loud -- those sorts of things."
There you go.

I found a copy of "Domo! Ben-Chan Desu" yesterday at a small record store
in Northampton, MA for $47.99. It's great! For those of you wondering what's
on it, here goes:
1st CD: 1Opening D.J.(just an introduction of the band from a Japanese DJ)
2Best Imitation of Myself 3One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces 4Kate
5Selfless, Cold and Composed 6unknown (actually, it's Emaline!) 7Philosophy

Disc 1 & disc 2 (songs 1-3) were recorded 5/20/97 and songs 4-13 on disc 2
were recorded 5/19/97. It's great cd. Definitely worth the money!! By the
way, I'm not a "Brick-head" either, I've been a fan since "Underground" came
out. I first saw the band on Lollapalooza, and have been a huge fan since!

Hey Everybody!
Does anyone have a date and time for the TNT show? I missed the MTV artists
cut because I forgot to change my VCR clock to Daylight savings time, what an
idiot.
Oh well.
