Peace People, Burb From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Dale Houston) Best East-Coast band: Sloan Hardship Post Jale Best non East-Coast band: Luna Archers of Loaf The Beatles Best East-Coast LP: Twice Removed (does that count? otherwise it's that Hardship Post lp) Best non-East Coast LP: Mike Watt - Ball-hog or Tugboat? Best East-Coast single: Sloan "Same old flame" (is that the b-side? well, i like it better than the a-side if it is) Best non-East Coast single: C.D. Truth "We Got the Blimp" (they're a band from Akron, OH. "You think your town is great 'cause it's clean and doesn't smell so bad - BUT WE'VE GOT THE BLIMP!!") Best Live Performance: Sloan & Jale at the Grog Shop in Cleveland in, like, February. There were maybe 20 people there. There were more for the lame-ass bands before them. Best video: I don't watch MTV except for "The Maxx". I hope to someday get a Superfriendz record but they're impossible to find around here. dale From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (D'Arcy Flueck) >1) best east-coast band Eric's Trip Sloan the Super Friendz >2) best non-east-coast band Superchunk Swervedriver Stereolab >3) best east-coast LP Elevator to Hell - s/t the Super Friendz - mock up, scale down >4) best non-east-coast LP Superchunk - here's where the strings come in Kronos Quartet - Night Prayers (i'm not sure if they released this in 1995) Archers of Loaf - vee vee >5) best east-coast EP or single Eric's Trip - the Road South Sloan - Stood Up/ Same Old Flame 7" the edgefest murder 7" >6) best non-east-coast EP or single the snailhouse sappy 7" Local Rabbits - put on your snow suit. you are going to hell! >7) best live performance (a single date, a single band please!) this isn't a band, but the best live performance I've seen in 1995 would have to be by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, under Jukka-Pekka Saraste, with Desmond Hoebig as solo cellist on December 2nd, 1995. >8) best video (EC or non) i don't watch videos, they bore me to tears :P From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mmmm, I only listed the things I actually heard(as opposed to hearing of on the list) so a lot of the stuff the rest of you are always raving about I'm looking forward to hearing & seeing....Thanks to all the posters on the list who have helped me discover loads of wonderful music!! > >1) best east-coast band Thrush Hermit, Eric's Trip, >2) best non-east-coast band Blur, Spiritualized, Inbreds(non- east coast for a while!) >3) best east-coast LP Hardship Post:Somebody Spoke, >4) best non-east-coast LP Blur: the Great Escape, Radiohead: the Bends >5) best east-coast EP or single Thrush Hermit: TGPO, Sloan:Stood Up >6) best non-east-coast EP or single Black Grape: In the Name of the Father >7) best live performance (a single date, a single band please!)

The president of a large Canadian bank recently . . . said publicly that national standards in social programs were nonsense. Everyone, he said, has different needs. He didn't, unfortunately, go on to explain the different regional needs of cancer and heart attack victims. - John Ralston Saul, _The Unconscious Civilization_
