Message-ID: > From: "Christopher R.

Sigh. Bafu sez: > Mike, you forget that I am not only immune to competition and air > currents, but also on friendly terms with The Dark Star. "Dark Star"... that's a name I've not heard in a long time... a long time. Ah yes, that was the OLD me, back last semester when I was in engineering school and a bitter wreck, and I wrote about Blind Melon and Ayn Rand and anagrams, with everything in lowercase letters. It was a dark time for the rebellion. Now, however, I am out of that particular circle of Hell and am now going into English-- and my email alias is "Scotch" in anticipation of many long nights drinking away the unemployment checks. But yes, Bafu and I are on frondly terms... and whoever said I might be on the verge of outdoing Bafu, well, no. I'm afraid I can't quite aspire to reach the zenith/nadir of Bafu Vai's Wild And Wacky Shenanigans (tm). Bafu does his thing and I try to do mine... whatever those things are exactly. > > From: Scotch > > Subject: The Hangover. > > > > It appears that I've achieved immortality, now that the Drinking Game is > > up on the archives (thanks Nug and Dr. Mosh, chug one on me) and on Jeff > > Chew's (snicker) web page (the best of the bunch). > > Yes.

Steve, Steve, Steve (that's 3 chugs)... that's just not true. And remember, I am at the University of Virginia, and Mr. Jefferson's Honor Code strictly forbids lying. Besides, I'm not out to impress people... I write for the sheer love of the craft. Why do you do it, just to impress people and inflate your ego, YOU FUCKING SELLOUT???? Easy for you to say, Mr. Goofy Clever Sarcastic Flamboyant I-am-the-catalyst-of-the-Ytsejam, with 'jammers licking your feet, worshipping you as a god, calling this the Bafujam, reveling in your personality cult, throwing in their "obligatory Bafu references," using "Fucking Idiot" as a term of affection and admiration, naming their first-born children and pets after you... HAH! I scoff at your grandiose self-projections of the Reigning Fist through pretentious Zen simplicity and see you for what you really are. To you, we are but lowly serfs in your vast Duchy, immolating ourselves before your Borzillerian form, gazing in wide-eyed, uncomprehending wonder at the Offerings that the Mighty Bafu Vai places before us. Yet where is the weakness? Where's the integrity? Where's the truth? Where's the soul? Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. You're just basically all fucked up is what it comes down to in the end. But then again, I guess all of us are. May my adamantium armor shield me from Bafu's mighty dragon breath... unless he realizes I'm JUST JOKIN'. And.....CHUG!! But back to your original comment, Bafu, when we're talking about my drawings, then your descriptions are eerily accurate. Long hours, pain, suffering, sweat, bile, eraser dust, spilt ink, spilt dreams... yes, all that and more, but then, I'm a better artist than a writer. The art web page is almost done... just awaiting the release of AQ to begin the blitzkrieg of propaganda and shameless self-promotion. (This doesn't count.) But man, I really can't figure out how to say "Borzilleri"-- does it rhyme with "fury," "hairy," "artillery," or "Jedi"? All this and more, on the next Bafu. Stay tuned.

However, people from the other side of the world can't. So if anyone has an e-mail address that JP can get hold of, send him a mail on all Jammer's behalf, or something of that sort. Or like can anyone set up a condolences page or something. I don't mind doing it. Anyone can send a mail to my account with any message to the family and I'll put something on my page. I can't write a CGI-script to do it because my ISP doesn't allow such. "Many years have come and gone, I've lived my life, but now must move on. He's my only one. Now that my time has come.

Hey! First post on the new jam! I think we all should send a big thank you to Ken Bibb for the great job he has done on the old arastar server. Hope the new one works out well too. :-)=20 As there were some requests for the Superior CD 'Behind', here is some info again, where you can take a look at the CD or order it: Pictures, sound-bytes, lyrics and other stuff can be found at: http://www.rmi.de/~marvin/superior.html http://www.why.net/users/jskewes/jsmusic.html http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~goebel/sup.html http://info.rpkk.fi/opsivut/y1b/mikko.kalermo/music.htm Some independent reviews can be found at: http://pitel_lnx.ibk.fnt.hvu.nl/~martijn/Welcome.html http://www.gl.umbc.edu/~mbacko1/munsign.html If you want some info about the band or how to order, you can email me (email_address_removed.de) or Jason Skewes (email_address_removed).

This is an awesome album. I hope they tour. They may be similar to DT, but SG is more keyboard oriented. For me a non- musician the keyboards and guitars for DT are so interwoven sometimes I find it hard to figure out what is what. SG, the keys are easily recognized. Think about all the albums coming out this year: new DT, new Fates, new King's X, KISS unplugged, possibly new KISS (sue me if you dont like this) and of course, countless Mike Bahr productions.... still no tapes from al balkewicz... **** Pat Daugherty email_address_removed **** **** "Every breath leaves me one less to my last" --Dream Theater **** **** "That is not an option, Mr. Mulder" --X-Files **** **** GO CAPITALS!

It works! I must admit it looked fairly grim, but it tasted pretty good, more of a meal than a drink, in fact. Version 2 made with tabasco was better, because you can keep trying it and adding more tabasco until the desired degree of afterburn has been reached. Perhaps somebody could try to brew up a killer mixture based on Jaegermeister, as Mike Portnoy seems to thrive on the stuff (barf barf). I also dropped into my local CD dealer yesterday, and he still maintains that there is no CD by a group called Superior. Can anybody help me out here - the name of the label and order number would be a good start. While I was there, I bought the new Skyclad album "Irrational Anthems" (see my posting from 22 Feb). An excellent way to spend 35 Marks (or the equivalent in Francs, Dollars, Pounds, Pesetas, Krone, Lira etc). Jethro Tull meets Metallica with violins thrown in for good measure. If anybody out there knows anything about tour dates in Europe, let me know. OK, enough of this, I'm off to drink my way through my CD collection! stay safe and happy listening Neil Gallop (nga@software-ag.de) Currently playing: Anthrax - Sound of White Noise ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Feb 1996 10:31:13 -0500 (EST) From: email_address_removed (Barb Battaglia) To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 1282 Message-ID: >Brian Anderson: Here, I only have one tissue left. The box is now empty. Hello everyone, it's BABS. People who know me, know that I can be rather "earthy" at times.

To: Dream Theater Subject: DT tribute. Message-ID: Ok for all those in favor of doing a DT cover compilation, please e-mail me and let me know you are interested! Ben and I are getting things organized and it would help everybody out if somebody knew all the people who are doing something or another. Please drop me a post including Name, instrument, and recording machine to which you have access. 4-track machines are fine, but DAT or ADAT is great! For the people who are hesitant, don't be! There is no set structure to which you have to contribute, you can do a different version of a song (like a rap version of Take the Time, for an example) or maybe compose your own (like Ben and Seth's idea of maybe doing Metrop. pt2)! In any case feel free to contribute something;this project cannot go anywhere without numbers.... Jammers that have a musical advantage should strive to cover or create more difficult DT songs so that those who aren't as self-confident can still be a part of this without having their song stepped on. The more of a variety we have the better it is going to be! So, if you wanna try anything, let me know and go for it!!! Any questions or comments e-mail Ben L. or myself, or back into the digest!!!

I know that on the bootleg, Mind Control, JlB actually thanks the crowd for making the album go platinum. MC was recorded in Japan so I presume that's JUST Japanese sales. Also, In the latest issue of the DT fanzine, MP says that Awake sold 250,000 copies in North America. As for the other albums, I don't know.

Listen to his solos that he does before The Mirror and in Take The Time when they play live if you want proof. He isn't the same as KM but surely this is a good thing as he provides different influences to the band to allow their music to evolve and develop. Although you're quite right about picturing him having sex. I wouldn't want to either! Time to go... Cheers...
