From: oderous@yabbs To: dislexic@yabbs Subject: re: Violent Femmes.... Date: Mon Feb 15 21:04:26 1993 in some message or another, dislesix(sp?) said something or other regarding the dead milkmen and the violent femmes ( is it obvious i don't know how to quote? ) anyway, i have been a fan of both of those bands for a couple of years, and i have always really liked them both... in fact, i have bben to one dead milkmen concert alredy but am going to another on feb 23 in e. lansing.. and about the violent femmes... i have thier first album, and it is really cool. however, i have heard other stuff off of albums other than the first, and i wasn't impressed. oh, well, they are still cool. i have also been following the "metal sucks/my music rules"conversation. a lot of people are very biased against metal and anyone who listens to it. as a matter of fact, i used to absolutely HATE metal, just because of the image the media had given it up until about 3 years ago, where i met a guy that was really into it, and i would be forced to listen to it in massive doses while going on car rides... soon i found myself asking him "hey, could i borrow that megadeth tape?" etc.... and now i am an avid headbanger... i do not listen to the top 40 stuff because it has no message; i am sick of whiny rappers/pseudometal bands singing about ins{gnificant shit like "will you be my girlfriend, yer sooo fine" and shit like that. it just does not interest me. but i will listen to ANYTHING once, and twice if i like it... odd
