[sdre-l]: New song on Fire Theft...
Be forewarned, it sounds like it could have come off of The Rising Tide, and that'll be either good or bad depending on what you like.

Oy vey! Now I know to send out the Please reply to this message privately before I send out said message - but just to show I care, here's the people who responded publicly but I'm putting all into one email so you don't get 7 at once (and this is the last I'm doing it, as of 10:20 EST) John Despirito - 24 now, heard Diary 17, joined list 19 (same as me, xcept I am not sure when I joined the list - soon after it started, that much I know) [EMAIL PROTECTED] is 19 Jackie Spiro: i'm 21, and started to listen to SDRE when i was 14, also around the time diary came out. [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am currently 18, but i started listening to Sunny Day when I was 12 (6thgrade) Mike \Skinnyness\ Wiegand [EMAIL PROTECTED] i'm 20, i picked up Diary when i was 17. steve chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] twenty three. started listening to them when i was twenty one. i guess i'm fresh blood. Marcella Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] I myself am 22, I'll be 23 in January. I started listening to SDRE when I was 16 also. Hmmm, what a coincidence. Ok, not the easiest to read, but there you have it - any furthur public ones won't be passed on though - I do have a full-time job, you know. :) PS I think conclusively most of us arenm't 16 year old horn-rimmed glass-wearing people. ** ** Have no friends not equal to yourself. ** ** - Confucius, Analects ** **
[sdre-l]: Sunny Day on Bravo?
Oddly enough, I just saw a commercial for a movie to play on Bravo called Drive, She Said...and In Circles was playing, over which they showed shots from the movie! It was extremely weird to hear Sunny Day coming out of my TV! It had Moira Kelly but that was the only name I recognized...according to IMDB, the movie was made in Canada (Figures, as Bravo is a Canadian channel)..not much else on it. I thought it was that indie film that Jeremy and WIll did a while back, but it isn't. How very odd. Actually, now that I think about it, it may not have been In Circles - but I can't find my SDRE Diary CD, and my Netscape isnt' working, but it was the song that had the line take a breath (in) time chance to run away (I think - going on memory here) ** ** Have no friends not equal to yourself. ** ** - Confucius, Analects ** **
[sdre-l]: New/Old News?
Says on the official page that Will and Jeremy are doing a project together - but it wasput up on the 12th of June? So sorta new, somewhat old news - where's the newshawks who pick these things up right away? :) ** ** Have no friends not equal to yourself. ** ** - Confucius, Analects ** **
[sdre-l]: Forwarded mail....
Don't know how you blame record companies for this - Timebomb was dropped, not Sunny Day. In fact, it sounds like once they realized they wern't signed to a 'big' label anymore, Sunny Day just took thier guitars and went home. Didn't the band Sloan do this a while ago, break up, then re-form just so they were out of the contract they were under? ALthough in that case it was going from a big label to a indie label... With only the posting on In The Blue to go by, it sure doesn't casta good light on the threesome. They said how much they enjoyed playing together again when they re-formed, and now they're getting stressed out because of managment/label changes, so they decide to call it quits? Again, I'm hoping there's more to it than that, but from what I've read on In The Blue, thye only like to play together when things are good... ** ** Have no friends not equal to yourself. ** ** - Confucius, Analects ** **

On Sat, 17 Feb 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ryan, having been on the mailing list for no doubt as long as you myself, I feel I am qualified to reply to this - I've yet to see anyone post any message that says the following: "TRT sucked, why don't they break up the band because they suck so much? They suck-diddly-uck and should be a band no more." Having said that, your argument seems to be a bit of a strawman - no one is saying they should break up. So, to me at least, it's like your trying to address a problem that doesn't exist. Furthermore, it is my opinion that, by and large, TRT wasn't all that good. Not bad, but bad for SDRE. Does that mean they should break up? Hell no, they can keep doing whatever they want, I've long since moved on to bands like Cursive to get my Diary-era music fix. However, it also doesn't mean that we can't properly roast them for putting out something that many don't like. Yet, at the same time, a lot of people need to lighten up. Personally, I give bands a 'breathing room' of about two or three album - if they put out two or three albums that I just plain do not like, then they don't get my interest or my money without them having to re-prove themselves (in other words, I am not there at the music stores the day the CD comes out, regardless of if I've heard it or not). Tori Amos has run out of breathing room with her last few albums; Sunny Day I still believe in. Incidentally, the way the songs sound live is of little importance - if they don't sound good on the CD, people won't go to the shows (except the fans like you and I who know they rock live). The first exposure to a band more often than not comes by way of Radio or CD in the 'big buisness' marketplace, which it seems SDRE is trying to crack. Relying on good live shows to hook new viewers doesn't work when live shows are stuffed with people who are already fans - preaching to the converted, if you will. Finally, just a list moderation note - posts strictly about hum are a no-go, so try to mix in some SDRE opinion or facts with your posts. And try notto restate opinions in your own words - adda new thought to it. Obviously in this sort of discussion lots of people feel the same way, so if you make a post that doesn't point out anything new, i.e. you deliver the same analysis of a song or whatever as someone else already ahs, it's not likely to go through because that's basically just a me-too post. (Having said that I don't have a photographic memory of what has and hasn't been said so there's probably still a 50/50 chance it'll go thorugh. :)) (In short, RYan, I agree they rock live but don't see that people are saying they should break up. People can complain about the band if they want to because those sort of opinions are just as valid as complimentary ones.) I don't know why, but i'm gonna apologize in advance (probably because i'm planning on using foul language.) I've been on this list a long time (a LONG time). Don't take that as me saying i'm better or more intelligent or anything, i'm just saying that i've been around the block here a few times. (If i thought i was better than you, i'd tell you straight up :-) ). I've heard complaints about TRT come and go. I heard complaints about HIFTBSO. And through it all i've just kind of chuckled on the inside. how many of you have seen them live? those of you who have are quite lucky. I myself have been the lucky member of about 8 shows. Every single show was awesome. every fucking song that they played was off the hook amazing. I don't care how it sounded on the record, live, those songs held up and they fucking rocked the house. now... how many of you were around when there was no SDRE? either before or after the break up, doesn't matter. Remember how much it sucked to love the band so much, but it really didn't matter because they weren't there? Remember how fucking great it felt when we heard that they were back in the studio? remember that show at the moore theater where there wasn't a dry eye in the house? through all your complaints of TRT (and even HIFTBSO), would you rather go back to the days where there WAS NO sdre? would you rather be robbed of those live shows? miss out on those moments of pure elation and sorrow at the same time? remember that this means that you will never have the chance to see the "old" songs be played either... i don't think so.. and if you do, then you shouldn't waste your time with this mailing list. so... don't tell me how much you think TRT sucks. it's a mute point and i could give a fuck. just be happy that they're playing music (and that will's not a foo fighter). ryan out.

Send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nothing in the SUBJECT header, and no .sig files attatched! Write the following, without the " marks: "unsubscribe sdre-l [EMAIL PROTECTED]" And that's IT! Common mistakes - People send it to the list, not Majordomo. People put a number one (1) instead of the lower-case letter "L". People ask meto unsubscribe them instead of doing it themselves. :) ** ** "Have no friends not equal to yourself." ** ** - Confucius, "Analects" ** **
[sdre-l]: Cursive and SDRE???
Damn, I can't believe Cursive played with Sunny Day. Anyone who has a boot of this show, please email me! Cursive are beyond incredible. Sometimes late at night I think about changing this from a SDRE-list into a Cursive-list. They're that damn good. :) ** ** "Have no friends not equal to yourself." ** ** - Confucius, "Analects" ** **

[sdre-l]: Message from Dan
Just a message from dan that was on the message board on the official site that I happened across - if anyone reads that board regularly, if they could copy anything Dan says for the list, that'd be great. I know he occasionally makes posts to the message board there, but I dno't have the time to check it every day...so here it is, from Dan: hey all- man, our news section is lame isn't it? so we're working on that... hopefully have info soon on the next north american run, as well as the european adventure in november, plus cool reviews and interviews and such... my website benchmark is john's page 'in the blue' and we are falling waaayyy short... keep those tour pics coming though, we have the credits thing somewhat worked out. also, i want to start a section devoted to live videos similar to the photo gallery... i guess there are some really cool ones floating around out there. as soon as something comes together with the live 'one' thing we'll post that too... we've got a lot of work to do! as far as florida goes, i'm sorry but we still don't have a date there... we're working on it, but running into resistance from booking agents down there for some weird reason. we haven't given up yet... ** ** "Have no friends not equal to yourself." ** ** - Confucius, "Analects" ** **
[sdre-l]: DMB
Personally,a fter reading the chat, I get the impression that while touring with DMB is a possibility, it's not one Dan is thrilled about - the stadium/arena comment was said more in like "We'll never play stadium/arenas" then "We're thinking of playing stadiums next tour". I'd have to go back and re-read, but that was the impression I got off of it. ** ** "Have no friends not equal to yourself." ** ** - Confucius, "Analects" ** **
[sdre-l]: About Trades/Sales...
While I can't outright ban posts dealing with people who have things for trade/sale, at the same time they are not worth the inevitable hate-mail that occurs whenever people get these posts. So to sum up the argument - Point - Money should not be made off of SDRE's merchandise Counterpoint - some people have nothing to trade, and willingly pay money Counter-counterpoint - some people will give things away for free/price of CDR FinalPoint - it's not my, or anyone else's, job to make sure that people are aware of the many possibilities for trade/selling that exists. As buyers/traders, it's the responsibility of the people to seek out the best buy. Caveat Emptor - Let the buyer beware. I'm not here to baby anyone and lead them to the best buy. As such, posts listing things for sale/trade will be let through. Bitching and complaining about it will not. If someone wants to post a list of things they have available for free, that goes too. Snide comments like "This is free, don't buy from John Smith" followed bya list of free stuff WON'T be let through - just state "I have the following available for free". On a final note - EBay posts won't be let through, because I dont' have the time to check each link to make sure it's something SDRE-related. If you have something to auction off, you can always post it here - you have over 800 SDRE fans available to bid, just manage the auction yourself. THis is of course up for debate, if someone can convince me of the merits of ebay over a list auction, although he entire no-time-to-check-links argument from me is a hard point to overcome. (Personally, the conecept of free trade seems ideal to me, but my opinion can't really enter into matters related to moderation of the list (ideally), so don't send me a bunch of mail telling me not to approve messages advertising sales. Caveat Emptor.) ** ** "Have no friends not equal to yourself." ** ** - Confucius, "Analects" ** **
[sdre-l]: Finally back up and working!
Ok, at long last the list is back up and working for the forseeable future. My new list-compatible email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], and so long as hwcn.org doesn't change THIER email system, it should be clear sailing here on in. All the email sent int he past two weeks (not much) is lost though, sorry about that. Anyways, fire away with the messages! ** ** "Have no friends not equal to yourself." ** ** - Confucius, "Analects" ** **
