I just saw the Britney Spears Pepsi commercial. Um, for a recreation of a '50s TV ad it's alright, but Joanie Sommers would be rolling in her grave if she were dead. According to the Billboard Book Of One-Hit Wonders, Sommers, who had the 1961 hit "Johnny Get Angry" (aka "Johnny Get An-ger-ry") was the original voice of those Pepsi commercials. Worst idea for a Pepsi commercial since KISS screaming about the joy of said beverage...

If you buy this plastic shelving how do you attach it to the shelf? When I use plywood I cut a dado into the side wall with a router and then put drywall screws into it for added strength and support, but if you use plastic sheets wont it crack if you use screws (even if you do pre-drill and couter-sink 'em)? - -JM __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2002 21:20:02 -0500 From: "Astroboy" Subject: Re: Pepsi...For Those Who Think Britney The worst thing about these ads is their annoying air of "Oh, we know so much better now". Oh yeah, right. This is Britney Spears for godsake, prefab queen of popdum (and I don't need to tell anyone which parts are prefab) - ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Coyle" To: Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 8:35 PM Subject: Pepsi...For Those Who Think Britney > > Uggghhh...

Atlantic Midnight Records is advertising a February 26th release date - which, of course, means they should ship it in July - for a U.S. CD of Minnesota garage band T.C. Atlantic material. Does anybody know what label this is going to be on? Thanks.

Both bands were taking on the popular frat song first done by its composer, Dick Holler. The Medallions and K-Otics released their singles at just about the same time, and split airplay throughout the south, with the K-Otics having the bigger hit in Florida and Alabama (their home state). Of course the Medallions had the bigger national hit. It wasn't wine that I had too much of...

You might also want to have him play through only one or two 12" speakers instead of 4 - I notice that the more speakers you have, the smoother the guitar sounds, and we DON'T want that!

Yeah, I think that's the one I'm going for. It's a lot pricier than the Target shelf, but these are my RECORDS I'm talking about, not some stupid collection of vases or something. I'm willing to make a bigger investment to make sure they have a good sturdy home. And the Ikea shelf looks to be of much better construction, btw. Shelves are over 15" deep, too. Nipper, do you have this Ikea Expedit bookcase? What's the shelf height (space in between each shelf)? Are they at least 12" high?

"Pebbles" and "Beyond the Calico Wall" were they ways to get a good mind journey going. The last time I done ACID, I played "Beyond the Calico Wall." My mainstream alternative friends were a bit freaked out about the Demons of Negativity coming to the Pealrly Gates and Kept out the Promise Land by God's Electric Fence. It is wierd everytime I ever done LSD. I always start out with lots of psychedelic garage rock. When I start to feel bad, I would calm myself down with the Cocteau Twins, Enya, Lush, and all the other etherial noise. Once I freaked out at a coffee house, and my friend took me to a house full of Dead Heads. They gave me a beer and a brownie, and I suddenly calmed down. That was 8 years ago.

The running order on that one is so well picked. Who came up with calling this hybrid form of garage/punk acid? A very diverse album, yet when playing it it seems to make sense. All other compilations after this one claiming to be Acid punk (the Beyond the calico wall etc.) never worked as well as this one did. The very one song to define "Acid" as in acid garage must be T.C. Atlantic's "Faces". They must have made more stuff on this level (besides their blues-rock album), so am I the only one to look very much foreward to the upcoming T.C. Atlantic comp?
