Hey... I know all you lucky northerners have been getting to see the almighty ATDI lately...just a quick question...have they had the brand new album available on their dates so far?? just wanted to know what you guys thought of it if so... Anybody record any of the shows either video or audio?? I'll give my left and right nut for a copy...Ok well, you prolly don't want that, but i'd be more than happy to swap you some good quality mouse boots or sdre boots or something for them... On a final note..anybody catch the most underrated songwriting duo of the last decade Jon Auer / Ken Stringfellow (Posies) on their acoustic tour?? If anyone recorded this I will also give you my left and right nut...ok well..just see above... Thanks... chris
[MMouse]: Posies!!! Bootleg-Be careful what you wish for....
Chris, get them nuts ready. I recorded the FIRST show of that tour with my MD recorder. It came out perfect. It was at the Redmond Firehouse Teen Center.(WA) Pretty much just an old little abandon fire house. There were probably 50 people there. I can't say enough how awesome that show was. I'll trade a CD copy of it if you can come up with something I want. Preferably some other bootleg and not your testicles. No offence, I'm sure your testicles are fine.

[MMouse]: Austin bands
No votes for Brown Whornet? They blow me away every
time I see them; even when they played "Tom Sawyer"
and "Home Sweet Home" for the 80's cheese rock show.must-see live show.
--I totally forgot about Brown Whornet. And HUG ("Get your dick covered in
shit at the circus"). And Voltage (though I heard they may be broken up,
b/c the singer is now doing puppet shows). So, there's three more Austin
bands that rock your world.

Where is Fat Albert? That was my absolute favorite cartoon when I was a kid. Fat Albert's "gang" had a bad ass clubhouse with a TV, AND they had a junkyard band. And even though they NEVER practiced, they would jam at the end of every episode like they've been doing it for years. Damn that was cool. How could a kid not like that? I imagine Cartoon Network would show Fat Albert if they could get their paws on it. Bill probably owns all the rights to it and will not license it out for syndication. Why won't he release it? Racial stereotypes? Fat Albert's gang were good kids. That's a stereotype I can live with. It's better than what you see on MTV. Bill was indeed a funny man before all the pudding pop endorsements and the Cosby Show. "Hey, Mudfoot! Lay some treats on us!" tg p.s. modest mouse can be hour new favorite junkyard band.

[MMouse]: I'm getting to the root of this Mystery even if it kills me...
Hello Fellow MM/Fat Albert Fans. After some detective work I've found out a couple things about our cherished cartoon. Here's one link I found: http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Network/1848. It gives some info. about Bill Cosby not owning the rights to the cartoon (I guess "Hallmark entertainment" now owns it, so it's up to them if/when it gets distributed) (so I guess my second theory on my last post was incorrect). One of my theories about how the "Cos's" early "liberal" politicized views about the world had quickily change once he got some green in his wallet do seem to be valid. There's a quote on this site where someone asked the Cos why he doesn't consider a "reunion" show or something for Fat Albert to which he replies: "That period of my life is over". Sounds as though he's a bit resentful/embarrassed or something. Also, here's another site called Mohammed's Fat Albert page. It has some an "episode synopsis" guide so we can revisit the complex plot lines which were the real "backbone" of this groundbreaking animated series. Check it out comrades Jason P.S. Thanks TG for the "Paging Dr. Huxtable" info. By the way, TG are you old enough to remember seeing the F.A Halloween episode (I remember being totally scared!). P.S. 2: Please don't get upset over this being an apparently non-MM post. I'd be willing to bet that Isaac and the boys loved Fat Albert back in the day, so this does have relevance.

I agree Fat Albert did rock. I haven't ever seen reruns but you can download the Theme Song off the internet. For the life of me, I can't remember the URL but if you search around TV theme song sites, you'll find it easily enough. Talk about funk, hands down the best cartoon theme ever.

Re: [MMouse]: No more Real World, but One interesting thing about MTV that I know...
Yeah, I know of one instrumental band you should check out, Tristeza, they played at This Ain't No Picnic last month (anyone from LA go?), an all day concert with Modest Mouse, Built To Spill, At The Drive-In, Creeper Lagoon, Yo La Tengo, Beck, etc (sorry for rubbing it in, but that concert was the highlight of my summer). Anyway, Tristeza played on the smaller side stage, but I thought they were great. I just ordered their CD last week and have been staked out at the mailbox ever since.

Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 08:17:40 -0700 Hey JS, in response to your belief about things being "scripted" you are very right on. The following is absolutely true: I know this guy whose sister was picked to be on this MTV "Fashion Makeover" cheesy show where some so called "fashion professionals" make-over kids to look "better" somehow. It originally aired towards the beginning of Summer. Well anyways, this gal was confronted by some MTV scouts at Disneyworld and they asked her to be on this show. The funny thing is that, if you ever watch this episode, it is presented as though the whole thing is a "surprise". The MTV crew comes to her college, enters this auditorium, where all these other students are, and "surprises" her saying that they are going to give her a makeover, right then and there (whoopdeeedoo!!!). All of the students appear surprised as well and everyone is clapping, etc. Well, her brother told me that the MTV crew totally told everyone what they were going to do and that they should "act surprised" etc. In other words, the whole thing was scripted To get off this subject, I saw that someone had "Dirty Three" listed on a playlist or something. They are one of my favorite bands out there. They almost seem to defy definition, as they don't easily fit into any typical "indie" or "instrumental" category. Are any of you into any other good "instrumental" bands? I've heard of Tortoise, but have never actually "heard" them. Peace out y'all... Jason P.S.

[MMouse]: More Fat Albert Info....
Hello y'all. You know, I've been thinking this Fat Albert thing over a while and it does seem as though this show was a bit offensive (are there any African-Americans on this list, and if so, what is your opinion of Cosby's portrayal of African-American youths?). Nearly every one of the characters had a "disability" of sorts. Albert= weight issues, "Dumb Donald"= Dyslexia/ADHD?, Mushmouth=Speech impediment... I guess Cosby's intention was to affirm the worth of all these individuals even though they all (like all of us, really) have something "wrong" with them on some level. I guess this is what makes us special (according to Cos)... I'm continuing my research into the "Fat Albert" issue (maybe I'll do my Master's thesis on it next year) and have found some more tidbits. First off, I've found some sources indicating that it IS IN FACT TRUE that Bill Cosby is a bit disdainful/embarrased at the apparent "political incorrectness" which the show seems to portray from our contemporary perspective on such issues and he has apparently pressured Hallmark Entertainment (owners of the "rights" to the show) to not re-air it in any form either on t.v., or on video. Apparently there are some very rare video tapes of the show from the eighties on the black market and those few that are mint and unopened can go for over 100 bucks! Check out this cool pic: http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/turnpike/237/albert.jpg I guess I've started to beat a dead horse since there don't appear to be too many more unanswered questions in the case of "The mysterious Disappearance of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. By the way, did any of you see the Saturday Night Live skit a few years back where they did a "Fat Albert/Cosby Kids 'Where Are They Now'"(a la VH1). Hilarious! My next mission if I choose to accept it, will be to find out what happened to all of those lame toy-based cartoons of the 1980's like "Laser Tag" and "Rubick's Cube" ( I sure hope I'm not the only one old enough to remember these gems...). Maybe there's a "story behind these" as well, or perhaps they just really sucked and that's why we don't see reruns of them... Jason
