I don't anymore, but let me tell you something. He is incredibly talented musically and vocally, but he's one weird motherfucker. I love his work, especially on albums where he played everything, I wonder which albums those are. I don't own any of his records or anything anymore, but hell, he's cool.

Nope, his birthday was April 20. Mark your calendars, btw... James' birthday is coming up too, May 5th :-) The others can be found on the "Ytsejam Birthday Calendar" on my homepage, except for Derek's. Does anyone know when his birthday is ? There are 113 Ytsejam-bdays on my calendar right now, with an average age of 24 ! If you're not yet on it, go to my page and submit your birthday. There is a form at the bottom of the calendar : http://www.prognosis.com/itchy/ _____ Rip said : > maybe down there at the ****End of ytsejam whatever digest**** > there should be unsubscribing info.

Then, one day, the singing chicken wanted complete control. Instead, the others looked for a new chicken. They made some pretty great albums, their best one being about a chick on a bridge. Currently, their fans are collecting money so they can fly to the US for a tour. Last week, they released another brilliant album, called "This Strange Chicken". Too bad it's not yet available in the US :-/ I've listened to it *19* times in the last four days.

If I had more patience I might could snag the CDs for cheaper. Out of the five stores that I usually shop, the average price for a new, non-sale CD is like $15.99, sometimes taking it up to 16.99. This year, however, I've noticed a trend of 17.99 CDs(Fates, Dokken, Nuno). That seems awfully high to me too but that is about the only price for stuff like Fates if I want to get it within a month of release. These are the prices down here(are they really that bad?): Blockbuster price for new, nonsale- 15.99-17.99 The Compact Disc Store - hmm I think it's generally not over 15.99..sometimes 12 or 13.99. Paradise Records- same as above - these are the two stores I go to when they have the stuff. Circuit City - rules when they get the stuff. Musicland - usually 15.99 - 16.99 These prices again for stuff like FW with no push from record companies or anything. And of the above only Musicland and Blockbuster 3 had FW. I could either wait or get it today. The oppurtunity cost was..uhh..nevermind..no economics.. later Phillip Cool CD of the day: Fates Warning "A Pleasant Shade of Grey" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 1997 19:29:13 -0400 (EDT) From: The Digital Man To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: The bootleg video guy Message-ID: On Tue, 22 Apr 1997, dave rieth wrote: > Everyone check out my website for bootleg videos > > http://members.tripod.com/~degenerated/home.html How many times are we going to see the same damned message?

Bear with me for a minute, here.. We are a bunch of pseudo-random people, spread across the US and across the world. However, those of us who read and participate in the jam on a daily basis are involved in an ongoing discourse which can affect us, separately, in similar ways. For example, recently someone mentioned the awesome version of TTT on the Bahr disc "Antiquities". As I was reading that digest, I was sitting here at work with headphones on and Antiquities in my disc player, listening to the track right after TTT. I hadn't listened to the disc in at least 3 months before that. Coincidence? maybe... But I'm thinking that maybe there are a lot of things which affect us, overtly or subconsciously (another Bahr plug!), in parallel. What made someone else and myself go dig out Antiquities at nearly the same time? Was it increased jam presence by Mike Bahr, the recent fix shows causing those of us deprived jammers to seek live material? How many of you have been purchasing or digging out your Fates Warning discs lately? I've seen quite a few FW posts not related to the new disc! This has an obvious source, the new release, but I think you get my point: people in this community receive a number of common stimuli from the discourse on this list, and, even as strangers, we end up acting similarly. I think it's kind of cool. Anyone notice that Knights of the Round is currently sold out of Symphony X discs? With the number of Symphony X recommendations lately on the jam, again I wonder if the increased sales are partially caused by increased mention in this forum, and the common (but separate) actions of like-minded jammers. In conclusion, I'd like to remind you all that you are hopelessly influenced by the events in your life, including the material in the jam, whether you realize it or not. Now go buy the new Fatez disc! =) cheers, -Neil. "When the rest have packed it up, I'm alive... electric... inspired...

Yeah, really!!! The main reason I listened to Primus was cuz of Herb's chops. I LOVE this guy! I'm a big fan of double-bass drumming and this guy's approach to it is so fresh and different from most drummers that he's become one of my favorite drummers. GREAT shit!!! oh, yeah, the other two guys aren't too bad either:)... Another reason I like primus is claypool's lyrics. Read below for an example. So, uh, who IS the new drummer?

I was one of those who attended the good doctor's and Dream Evil's world-wide Internet premiere (a #ytsejam exclusive!!!) of APSoG. Awesome. Hearing these two guys talk was a treat too:). Anway, I picked up APSoG and Perfect Symmetry today. Typically, I had to wait 10 minutes while the store clerk ("Fates who?") went running around the store trying to track down the 3 copies that the computer said they had:). Anyway, I haven't had a chance to check out PS yet. About APSoG, well, this song reminded me why I think long songs (10 min. or above) are so special. They're all journeys of some kind, some longer than others, each with their own special twists and turns (some of them unexpected!!!). They give you enough time to settle in with the song, to really get into the lyrical or musical content, keep an eye (or an ear, rather) out for repeated themes, relish the instrumental interludes, enjoy the moments of pure sick mania that pop up every now and then, etc. *sigh* LONG SONGS RULE!!!!!!!!! Anyway, APSoG has got ALL that shit and more. It's a LONG journey (53 min. 48 seconds according to my CD player) so be DAMN sure to bring along some gas money and a spare tire. But, like all of these trips, it leaves me with a feeling of great satisfaction and completeness, you know, cuz it seems like FW left no stone unturned on this journey. Anyway, I enjoyed it. There's just one thing I don't get, though.

Their computer said they had 3 copies and one of the store clerks had to rummage through their trolley full of new releases in order to get me my copy, meaning they hadn't gotten around to filing it in the FW section. You and I might be the only ones in the Berkeley area to even KNOW this thing is coming out today (much less give a shit about FW) so I don't think their remaining 2 copies are sold yet.

Hasting's copy was gone when I got there (Thanks alot, w00t!) so I had to cough up the $17.00 for it at musicland. I shoulda just ordered it on import. :P Anyway, it's defferent, but in a good way.

Hrm.... The Miracle and the Clucker? I dunno... Sounds close though. BTW, sorry for those who complain about my long posts. I decided to start doing this so that ackers may just chuck em and leave em rather than spread it out among 5 or 6 posts and have to wait and download 118 messages like I had to today. Thank you.
