The lovely Karina says: "Which raises an interesting question: which is the more dangerous of the guilty pleasures : teen pop or smoking?" I say popping teen smokers would be the most dangerous. I'm not going to rant on about cigarette smoking, but I really do recommend checking out The Truth (http://www.thetruth.com/). You have undoubtedly seen their ad campaign, but dig a little deeper and learn about the pockets that are being filled at the expense of our generation's guilty pleasures. One person dies every 8 seconds from a cigarette smoking-related illness. Damn. And that says nothing to what is actually IN the cigarettes being made in the USA today. I noticed a little blurb on a Winston ad which I had to share with me friends, who seem to have fallen for the "No Additives" campaign: "No Additives does not mean a healthier cigarette." Face it, you're burning wood chips. If you must smoke, at least get something like Nat Sherman's, where you know you're smoking tobacco and not toothpicks, and you're not supporting Big Tobacco. They have enough money. And if you're smoking trees, make it seedless, kiddies. Now, back to the content: A few weeks back I provided a link to some live Modest Mouse mp3's from 2/26/00. I didn't really post that address anywhere outside of this mailing list, and as of yet no one has attempted to cash in on eBay. So I'd like to make another show available, but I need some suggestions. Another Modest Mouse show? Maybe another band? I have tons of Pavement, Sonic Youth, Palace, Pixies, Helium, Mogwai and quite a few others. But I need to hear from you. Gotta give the people what they want, gotta give 'em what they need. Send yr requests privately unless of course you just want to fill up the mailboxes of other list peoples. I'm out like George Hamilton's tanline, *phiL* __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo! Mail - Free email you can access from anywhere! http://mail.yahoo.com/
