Is this true, or just a fallacy? Are we looking at a 7" or maybe something like an LP? I also heard that they have a song or 2 on a KXLU comp but I have tried to contact them via email/to no avail. I was at the Sub Pop site today the other day and noticed that they are already listing Beachwood Sparks tour dates. I was a bit confused at first, thinking maybe theyhad a single out on their singles club or that they were releasing their new album. Today I went to the Bomp page and found that I was right and wrong, not respectively. Anyways if the vinyl release is going to have alternate tracks I guess I'll have to buy both formats, god dammit.

As far as the soundtrack issue goes, I think it's a good bet that this WILL have the REAL original soundtrack.

The e-mail also indicated that they would be attempting a European tour in September. While I was in Pittsburgh over Christmas break, Michael babbled something to me about how the band would be reuniting (I do the web site for his other band, Honeyburst). Considering his state of inebriation at the time of this statement, however, I figured that it would be best to refrain from shouting it to all the world until I could get some corroboration. I won't be seeing him until spring break in early March, but I'll ask my Pittsburgh correspondents if they can get me information on the band's lineup and projected itinerary. - -- John Fredland, John Stephen Vanderbilt University School of Law E-mail: john.s.fredland@vanderbilt.edu Frampton Brothers On-Line: http://www.geocities.com/framptonbrothers Honeyburst On-Line: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Frontrow/4175 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 22:48:02 EST From: Moparlary@aol.com Subject: Re: Jimi and the Velvet Underground In a message dated 1/19/00 1:36:55 PM Eastern Standard Time, Rmerchandz@aol.com writes: << The Velvet Underground tends to appeal to the literate intelligentsia music crowd and critics. >> okay jumping in a little late on this one, but I'd have to strongly disagree.
