[MMouse]: guilty pleasures
I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet ain't got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool Shoulda known (should known better) than to cheat a friend The wasted chance that I feel given So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you... whoa oh... Whoa... My biggest guilty pleasure would be "I Know What Boys Like" by the Waitresses, and most Prince stuff. Guilty because I don't listen to it often around anyone else. And The Hooters, Nervous Night, that whole album. Guilty as sin. *phiL* ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
[MMouse]: KARP!
My personal guilty pleasure, Bat Benetar and love is a battlefield, that song kicks ass, 80's cheese incarnate..and since it seems like everyone gets to plug a band, heres mine; KARP. Started listening to them cause dug looks so cool in his KARP t's that i just had to find out what all the rucus was about. Really damn amazing actually if you like that in your face, can-still-hear-mom's-car-reving-up-in-the-space-next-to-the-clearing-in-the- garage-we-play-in-type-band. Post production is like a safety net, but all those holes make me nervous.

Re: [MMouse]: modern lyrics\guilty pleasures
I think it is meant to be the son of man rather than the son of God. One of the lyrics says "..and his dad was oh so mad/should have killed that little fucker/before he even had." Of the three "dads" that jesus had (God, joseph, mankind) mankind is the only one that killed him and the only one that was ever mad at him. Also, he was the only child of man. It's not really important to specify who exactly was his dad, I guess, but that's what you get; my dad is a new testament professor of theology. Does Weezer count as a guilty pleasure? I love that band, I even wrote a primitve program for them. If anyone wants it, it is at my website at: http://www.crosswinds.net/atlanta/~ccduke it is in the downloads section. I also kind of like the Smiths, but not nearly as much as Weezer. I guess liking the Smiths is better than liking Morrissey. Violent Femmes rock, too but they aren't bad unless you are talking about their new stuff, which sucks.

[MMouse]: Rivalry?
There's a rivalry between the Make-Up and the Delta 72? I know that Gregg Foreman of the Delta 72 had a little tussle with Mr. Spencer of his famous Blues Explosion (some swaggerly drink-tossing in NYC, if I'm not mistaken), but I was not aware of any beef with Mr. Svenious's outfit. Could someone fill me in? You'd think I'd hear about these things, living so close to D.C. and all... *phiL* ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com

If everyone is now confessing their guilty pleasures I guess I must admit mine and I wont be surprised if I get a lot of shit for it, but I'm a big lover of Slayer. Yes, it is pretty terrible, but I think it stems from my liking of such groups as the Deftones, Quicksand, BarkMarket, Far, etc. My taste in music has a tendency to reach far across the board considering my favorite musician is Neil Young. But anyway, just thought I would confess my guilty pleasure of "butt-rock" but hey... toDd HouLEtTe [EMAIL PROTECTED] nmc.uoregon.edu/~todd
[MMouse]: Modern lyrics
Good morning! About the "Jesus Christ was an only child..." Well, Catholics like to ignore the fact that Mary *may have had sex*, even after Jesus was born. It doesn't quite fit in with the "virgin" concept. However - and I just thought of this - this might be a reference to Bill Cosby. There's a joke which goes something like, Until I was 12, I thought my name was 'Jesus Christ,' and my brother was, 'Goddamit.' My parents would say, "Jesus Christ! What are you doing? Goddamit, get in here!" (I paraphrased this, of course.) Actually, this, to me, is a particularly amusing interpretation of the song, and it makes it 100% heretic-free! ta- DAVE!!!

[MMouse]: Trans Am in Dallas
Ah, so I got to see Trans Am here in Dallas this Saturday. Very cool show. There were two openers, The Champs. They were like instrumental metal, or as I prefer to call it, "Heavy Mental". Kind of like Metallica without lyrics. Then Pan Sonic, they were quite cool as well. No guitars, or anything like that to muss things up. Very loud, bass heavy, kinda nouveau Kraftwerk. Then of course Trans Am rocked the house! They didn't do a whole lot from their new album, which was fine by me. I can't really get into their vocals on that album. But what they did do with the vocals was cool, it was definitely better live than on the cd. And this friend that was with me there knew the guy that was doing Trans Am's sound, and who also produced Futureworld. I don't remember his last name, I just know his name was Johnathan. So, we met up with him after the show, and hung out in the little room upstairs from the stage. We smoked out with the guys from Pan Sonic, and the Champs, and Trans Am was pretty much just in and out. I only got to talk to them for a minute or two. Just complimented them on the show, and what not. Mentioned how much my band is influenced by them. But not too much gushing, you know. I had to play it cool. I was just in awe that I was actually hanging out with these guys. We got invited to an after party, but my friend didn't want to feel like he was riding Johnathan's coat tails. I don't know why, I didn't care, I just wanted to go to the party. But, about halfway home, he wised up and was like, "We should have gone to the party". No shit Oh, and I saw Delta 72 in Denton Friday. That was a cool show. They remind some people of the Make Up, and a friend of ours mentioned that, and the guy pointed to my friend who happened to be at that show also, and who got us in with Trans Am and the bunch, and said, "That's your fault isn't it?" They used to play together in D.C. and he knows about the rivalry between them and the Make Up, and he was like, "That wasn't me." It wasn't, but yeah, it was his fault for mentioning it to the other guy. Anyway, it was funny. guess you had to be there. There was also this other band called The Git low. They were fucking insane. They played about six minutes, flailing, falling down, swinging their guitars at the crowd, pushing them around. They weren't even on the stage. They were out on the floor with everyone else. It was crazy. Anyway, it was a very good weekend for shows. Also, Man or Astroman? tonight in Denton. Fuck sleep, who needs it? Mark
Re: [MMouse]: duh

Re: [MMouse]: guilty pleasures.
wait, what about rob bass- it takes two? that song was awesome. did anyone else used to go to the skating rink on friday nights? this song was the "jam" back then when shuffling was the cool thing. and i was good at skating backwards. but then again, that was also when i shaved my head and had NKOTB shaved in the back. those were the days that people will never let me live down. i can't believe i am admitting to this. shoot me- nirra

Re: [MMouse]:
What's really sad is that I've been drug into the world of MTV. I find myself watching TV a lot more than I have in the past few years. The only TV I've allowed myself is the Tom Green Show (I'm a fan, for he is the male equivalent of my best friend and I.) once a week. The other day, however, I found myself watching Total Request Live (for those who are more hip with MTV, they call it TRL) N'SYNC came on with their newest song, the video that's in the asylum and their women have driven them crazy with heartbreak, blahblahblah. I've made fun of these boy bands and in fact, I spend a great deal of conversation time on the topic of MTV as well. But as I sat on my floor, less than two feet from my TV screen, I found the one with the goatee and dark hair quite attractive. No not the one with the cool hair, not the ugly and not the two from the Mickey Mouse Club. The one that is leftover. The impossible has happened. I've fallen for the scheme that is ... MTV. Now I feel the need to go get belligerent, good-day. Aloha. Kimber
[MMouse]: guilty pleasures
now everyone has mentioned cheese 80's bands. now these are all good. but my guilty pleasure would have to be britney spear's "baby one more time". you cant beat that song. ok, i'm not familiar w/ anything by britney spears, but there's a rumor going around that she'll be attending my school (george washington in dc) in the fall. i haven't seen any concrete evidence, so i dont know if this is official or not...just thought you might be interested since you're a closet fan. btw: weezer are one of the sweetest bands! dont be ashamed of the amazing-ness that is weezer this is so true!! weezer is most excellent. though i have to confess my own guilty pleasures...i have madonna and cyndi lauper cravings once in a while. don't laugh!! *hezi* ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
