Even more amusing in an adolescent way. Last Train to Bootyville I Can't Get No Booty. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Booty Club Band Inna Gadda Da Booty. You get the idea. Yeah, it's stupid, but standing around for hours on end, repeatedly telling people where Kenny G is filed can warp you in many ways. This is also known as the Panties game on the Buffy newsgroup.

Yes, but I love the Zep-meets-Dolemite (and Oscar Brown, Jr. and a host of others) treatment that Kashmir got in Schoolly D.'s "Signifying Rapper," which any of you who've seen Abel Ferrara's "Bad Lieutenant" may remember as the opening theme. (Did Swan Song manage to get that tune axed from later prints of the video of that film? I recall talk that they wanted to at one time).

"Johnny & Dee Dee" by The Eastern Dark. I'll propose we stick to titles only, rather than mentions, seeing as there are tons of songs w/those... Examples include The Fleshtones' "American Beat '84" and "Let's All Turn On" by The Hoodoo Gurus. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 01:15:05 EST From: HOODOO3005@aol.com Subject: crackin' up In a message dated 1/6/01 5:22:21 PM Central Standard Time, owner-bomp-digest@xnet2.com writes: << OH, we used to play the same game but substituted "crack" for "love".

Here's the awful truth: I've seen both sides of this badly-weighted coin firsthand. Anyone in the NY area who's of, ahem, "a certain age" will remember my cousin Pete Fornatale. He started at WNEW-FM in 1967...back when the DJs played whatever the hell they felt like. They actually kept this wonderful moment for about five years until everything got rigidly formatted. As it happens, one of the, uh, "pioneers" of the Rigid-Formatting movement was Peter Salant....a guy who I actually played in a band in high school with. He became a "Programming Consultant" and made a whole lot of money. I think he probably still does it, unless he's retired. The ugly truth!! Mike F. >> Yeah that's the guy who invented it, and he made a hideous amount of money from doing so. We can all thank him for the current state of FM rock radio. As for Pete Fornatale, he's your cousin ??? I remember listening to him way back . I had a HUGE antenna and signal amplifer hooked up so I could hear WNEW and WBCN way way back when FM rock radio was worth listening to. Also a few years ago when I used to come back from record shows out west and down the east coast, I had to drive thru NY City on the way back to CT.I used to like to listen to a show he did where he played some interesting and different stuff and actually read from books he thought were kool and interesting as well, a kinda modern alternative folk music and " poetry/ book reading - coffeehouse " sort of thing late sunday nites on K- Rock I think, that was pretty neat to listen to while driving around NYC and home to CT. just bend those coathangers on the right a little further... ya got it !!! maureen ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 00:22:00 -0800 From: "fbrandon" Subject: Re: Lewd in Seattle!! ouch!! my memory is failing---we actually talked about this before---that was just before i moved there---the first night i lived in seattle (shadow lake actually) i was unpacking and heard the elvis costello show live on the radio---the second night i went to see the balfa brothers at the museum of science and industry---was that a great town to live in or what??? referring to the benatar posts later down the list (i'm catching up), she was also a KISW $1.99 show as was sea level and i think the fabulous poodles (am i the only guy in the world that saw them twice?)---i saw the ramones at the showbox at sunday afternoon show and at Udub one time and some other club whose name escapes me - -----Original Message----- From: Joey Beretta To: bomp@xnet2.com Date: Friday, January 05, 2001 9:26 PM Subject: Re: Lewd in Seattle!! > >> where was this at joey??? i may have been at that one too > > >As Alan said, it was at the Paramount.
