What tunes are you tuned into right now?

~KitchenManager Fri, Jan 16, 1998 (23:30) #101

Cartoon Network... Nick, who is paula_jane, and why does she think I'm you?

~pmnh Sat, Jan 17, 1998 (00:14) #102

*lol* (what did she say? is she okay?)

~KitchenManager Sat, Jan 17, 1998 (00:29) #103

I'll send you what she wrote me tomorrow...too tired tonight. She seems fine, she even wrote me back when I told her I wasn't you, but I was willing to talk or listen anyway. Then I asked, "By the way, who are you?" We'll see...Have you talked to her today?

~KitchenManager Sat, Jan 17, 1998 (00:31) #104

BTW, my turn, what's up with Elke? She hasn't been her usual loquacious self the last two days...

~pmnh Sat, Jan 17, 1998 (09:45) #105

would you do me a favor, wer? would you send her my correct address, and tell her i want to hear from her? know it's silly, but i'm really worried about her... (thanks)

~pmnh Sat, Jan 17, 1998 (09:47) #106

(referring to paula, of course...) ms. wolfe seems loquacious enough, so far today...

~pmnh Sun, Jan 18, 1998 (03:38) #107

(just checked my mail... she wrote, and it is the most heart-breaking thing i think i've ever read... how can someone as young, and beautiful, and talented as she feel such despair? life really, really sucks sometimes, you know it? nothing can justify a thing like that... a girl such as she shouldn't have to deal with that kind of pain... screw all that cant about accruing "wisdom" from it, about that "which doesn't kill us" making us "stronger"- it's just plain cruelty, and i can't see a thing to be gained from it... a girl such as she shouldn't have to deal with those kinds of feelings- not ever, and especially not so (frigging) young... (anyway, thanks wer... really appreciate the help)

~KitchenManager Sun, Jan 18, 1998 (23:22) #108

If it isn't betraying a trust, can you send me a copy of that e-mail, Nick? Edit out what you need to. She responded to me again today, but she isn't very open with me yet, and I need to know what direction to go with my blathering... (you're welcome)

~pmnh Mon, Jan 19, 1998 (17:35) #109

how about if i e-mail you, and kind of paraphrase what she said? i know it sounds silly, but it would make me feel funny, otherwise, because i made some promises to her, and even though it may be in her best interest, i'd still feel kind of like i was not keeping faith (like in the poem..."my guidance councellor/ and what an asshole he is...)...

~KitchenManager Mon, Jan 19, 1998 (22:23) #110

Sounds perfectly acceptable. I'm kind of in an odd spot in that I very much identify with the feelings she expressed, but she's currently referring to me as an optimist, so I just need to know what direction to take our conversations in. If she gives me specifics, great, we don't have an agreement yet, and besides, she still thinks that I'm you...

~pmnh Mon, Jan 19, 1998 (22:49) #111

lol! she wrote again a couple of hours ago... she's coming around, i think (she's such an incredible kid)...

~KitchenManager Mon, Jan 19, 1998 (23:06) #112

Just sent her a long letter, we'll see what happens. You did stick me with a huge responsiblity, though... (maybe it's what I needed...?)

~pmnh Mon, Jan 19, 1998 (23:26) #113

i know what you mean... kinda forget your own issues, when you're helping someone else with theirs...(and besides, this kid is something special... she really gets under your skin, doesn't she? sorta touches your heart... and such an amazing talent!)

~stacey Tue, Jan 20, 1998 (18:36) #114

and wer, you certainly know how to make a girl smile. all innuendos and implications aside you can really see good in others (every now and then admit you have it in yourself) and you have the gift of the laughing sickness! Tunes wise... A weekend of Jimmy Buffet, The Eagles, Paula Cole, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Quidam soundtrack and Dave Matthews Band. Tonight... still at school (5:30pm) and the gentle computer whirr is all I desire.

~KitchenManager Tue, Jan 20, 1998 (22:58) #115

*sigh* Yes, Miss Vura.

~stacey Thu, Jan 22, 1998 (16:40) #116

stop the Miss Vura crap! Or I'll start calling you william *gasp*

~KitchenManager Fri, Jan 23, 1998 (08:57) #117

*lol* ok, Stacey, you didn't have to go THAT far...

~terry Sat, Mar 21, 1998 (00:07) #118

Jumpin' Jack Flash, Rolling Stones. On PBS.

~stacey Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (09:53) #119

Marvin Gaye

~KitchenManager Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (16:35) #120

(you don't gotta make fun of me... I was tired and all...)

~stacey Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (17:27) #121

*laugh* excuses, excuses that 'tired' thing just doesn't cut it (what if i came over in the middle of a sixteen hour shift and you were 'tired'?)

~KitchenManager Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (17:37) #122

I'd guess we'd sleep together so I could regain some strength... after that, who knows?

~stacey Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (17:38) #123

you just lie there and rest... (i DARE ya!)

~KitchenManager Mon, Mar 23, 1998 (22:36) #124

don't think I could do it, huh?

~stacey Tue, Mar 24, 1998 (09:38) #125

(after 20plus hours on my feet I couldn't do anything else, but dares usually bring out the best/worst in people)

~KitchenManager Tue, Mar 24, 1998 (10:52) #126

Which would you prefer?

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 2, 1998 (15:00) #127

All along the watchtower...

~terry Thu, Apr 2, 1998 (16:43) #128

Music from the netscape mozilla bash last night in SF on our website.

~EEK Fri, Apr 3, 1998 (11:41) #129

I enjoy listening to Dave Matthews Band, Van Morrison, Fleetwood Mac, Jimmy Buffett, Ben Harper....

~pmnh Sun, Apr 5, 1998 (04:21) #130

(interesting mix... but who is ben harper?)

~EEK Mon, Apr 6, 1998 (12:16) #131

I like all kinds of music, I even listen to rap and some, country. Ben Harper is a folk singer, very soft, very good. I started listening to him through a friend of mine and this summer we have tickets to go see him live. He plays at small bars around the area I live in. He sings a lot about real life issues, breaking up, angels, stories, etc. Check him out, he is good.

~stacey Mon, Apr 6, 1998 (15:35) #132

Ben Harper also sings about smokin' dope, bucking the system and being an individual... (those are the tunes I prefer from him). Great preformer as well, saw him two years ago at Liberty Lunch. He had all these slat key guitars and groovy rythmn equipment!

~pmnh Tue, Apr 7, 1998 (05:22) #133

hmmm... where does he fall, on the angel issue (yea or nay?)... i'll be sure and check this guy out, report back... really tried to give rap a chance... and with a very few exceptions (bradley nowell, few others) just can't get into it... hurts my soul, y'know? ("smokin' dope" tunes, miss vura, are high (no pun intended, promise) on your list of preferences? a most interesting insight)...

~stacey Tue, Apr 7, 1998 (17:55) #134

*shy grin*

~KitchenManager Tue, Apr 7, 1998 (23:29) #135

Oh, so he gets to call you Miss Vura? I see.

~stacey Wed, Apr 8, 1998 (09:03) #136

actually WER, he called me 'miss vura' and it's part of our sexual role play fantasy game! *laugh* listened to CSN&Y 'So Far' and Paula Cole 'Harbinger' last night and this morning.

~EEK Wed, Apr 8, 1998 (11:43) #137

He does sing about smokin' dope and I enjoy those songs to. I just love the song "Waiting for An Angel," "By My Side," and "Walk Away." He is defintiely worth going to see and enjoying yourself while you are there. He literally smokes it up on stage and has been known to pass it around!

~pmnh Wed, Apr 8, 1998 (23:50) #138

from the title "waiting for an angel", take it he's an adherent... which is good, i guess... (an informed judgement, i hope... not herbally influenced)... listening to pink floyd... "wish you were here"... (five times in a row... going for ten... like exercize, sort of- emotional calesthenics or some- thing ...such exquisite pain)...

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 9, 1998 (01:20) #139

Exquisite pain...I think that just might be what I need these days... (again)

~stacey Thu, Apr 9, 1998 (08:47) #140

looking for a domme?

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 9, 1998 (12:42) #141

know of a good one?

~stacey Thu, Apr 9, 1998 (15:28) #142

depends...

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 9, 1998 (16:00) #143

doesn't it always?

~stacey Thu, Apr 9, 1998 (16:57) #144

are there no certianties in life? (btw, I'm 'tuned into right now' the whirr of the vaccuum cleaner in the classroom next door)

~KitchenManager Fri, Apr 10, 1998 (00:46) #145

not that I know of, but if you find one, let me know... (currently tuned into Cartoon Network, myself)

~autumn Fri, Sep 11, 1998 (11:45) #146

listening to Bare Naked Ladies on the radio.

~riette Fri, Sep 11, 1998 (13:04) #147

How kinky!

~KitchenManager Fri, Sep 11, 1998 (13:33) #148

wasn't "One Week" was it, Autumn?

~autumn Sun, Sep 13, 1998 (21:51) #149

You got it!

~KitchenManager Sun, Sep 13, 1998 (23:55) #150

hehe...

~osceola Tue, Sep 15, 1998 (12:46) #151

I just got Johnny Cash's "Unchained" album last week from the record club I belong to. I've listened to it at least once every day, it's that outstanding. He can do old stuff, new stuff, turn a song into a country song that wasn't originally a country song. The man is a great interpreter of lyrics and a true original.

~autumn Wed, Sep 16, 1998 (22:51) #152

My dad's favorite! I seldom buy CDs--just listen to music on the radio. I keep tapes in the car, though, for when they just talk talk talk. Lately I've been listening to a Stan Ridgway tape, "Mosquitos." (I loved his band "Wall of Voodoo"!)

~stacey Thu, Oct 1, 1998 (04:42) #153

Twas well after 3am and the house was under the spell of Ms. Annie Lennox crooning out from her Medusa album.

~autumn Thu, Oct 1, 1998 (14:11) #154

Would I lie to you, baby? oooooooooooooooooooh Love that crooning! Phil Collins--No Jacket Required CD.

~terry Thu, Oct 1, 1998 (23:29) #155

Phil Collins was just on doing a live concert on tv. He did all audience requests. Easy lover et al.

~autumn Fri, Oct 2, 1998 (23:41) #156

I caught that last night too.

~osceola Mon, Oct 5, 1998 (13:02) #157

Been listening to ZZ Top's "Rythmeen" album this weekend. It's a year or two old. They go back to the old ZZ Top sound (pre-MTV). That's the stuff I like.

~stacey Mon, Oct 5, 1998 (17:54) #158

listening to Little Axe

~autumn Wed, Oct 7, 1998 (15:54) #159

Hey George, "La Grange" is one of my favorite songs--I always crank up the radio when it comes on. Never heard of Little Axe. Currently listening to The Cars.

~riette Wed, Nov 18, 1998 (02:44) #160

Listening to George Michael. Great voice.

~TIM Wed, Nov 18, 1998 (04:23) #161

listening to Maynard Ferguson, MF Horn II

~autumn Thu, Nov 19, 1998 (21:45) #162

U2 "War".

~riette Tue, Nov 24, 1998 (08:47) #163

My what variety! Right now, Texas.

~TIM Tue, Nov 24, 1998 (09:51) #164

Austin is the music hub of the US. Only in Austin are new releases of every kind of music released before the majority of the country gets to hear them.

~riette Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (03:13) #165

lucky buggers!

~TIM Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (13:03) #166

Riette, it's only one of the charms of this city.

~riette Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (12:40) #167

You all seem to like Austin alot.

~TIM Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (18:01) #168

I guess that is why we live here, Riette. It sure ain't the cost of living!!

~ratthing Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (19:38) #169

austin is the most wonderful place i have ever lived. i'd move back there in a heartbeat. i believe that it is one of the most unique cities in america.

~TIM Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (21:10) #170

I second the motion!!!

~riette Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (01:51) #171

Wow, now I really can't wait to come and see it. If I like it alot, I'll get my husband to take me there forever, and ever, and we'll have barbecues every day!

~TIM Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (01:56) #172

That would be absolutely wonderful, Riette!

~riette Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (16:04) #173

Yes, wouldn't it??? On the other hand everyone will find out how bad I am!

~TIM Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (19:23) #174

Riette, if you live up to everyone else's expectations, soon you may find you have no room for your dreams.

~autumn Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (20:29) #175

Blondie.

~TIM Mon, Nov 30, 1998 (00:23) #176

Debbie Harry???? What has she got to do with this???? Ah I get it, The topic. Well then, Autumn, which album/ song?

~riette Mon, Nov 30, 1998 (02:39) #177

WHO???

~TIM Mon, Nov 30, 1998 (02:51) #178

Blondie, Riette. the lead singer is debbie harry.

~riette Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (02:13) #179

Damn! Am I THAT uninformed? Do they have any hits currently?

~TIM Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (02:39) #180

No Riette, this group was popular before you were 5.

~autumn Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (20:22) #181

ha-ha! Poor Blondie, I guess they didn't withstand the test of time...I was listening to the Platinum Collection CD. Tim, you mentioned Offspring a few days ago--just figured out that they're the ones who sing "All the girls say I'm pretty fly/for a white guy..." so I guess I do know of their existence after all.

~TIM Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (21:07) #182

Yes, Riette, that is the song that I meant.

~riette Wed, Dec 2, 1998 (01:54) #183

You guys will have to get me up to date with these things when I come! I'd love to hear Blondie and all the other groups you two have discussed - I hardly know any of them. THink it also has something to do with growing up in Namibia, where ABBA became big during the late 80's! Blondie has probably not even reached us!

~TIM Wed, Dec 2, 1998 (02:08) #184

Riette, I think that you have a point there. I forgot about the embargo.

~autumn Wed, Dec 2, 1998 (02:08) #185

Guess that means Milli Vanilli will be arriving any day now...

~KitchenManager Fri, Dec 18, 1998 (00:17) #186

Oh, Joy! and that means the Bullet Boys will be, too!

~PT Fri, Dec 18, 1998 (12:08) #187

Sooner or later, someone is bound to introduce something current. The possibilities for contrast are mind boggling!

~stacey Fri, Dec 18, 1998 (20:44) #188

Midnight Funk A KGSR Music Sampler I picked up at Technophelia when I was in Austin...

~autumn Fri, Dec 18, 1998 (22:03) #189

My first concert was a Neil Young concert.

~stacey Mon, Dec 21, 1998 (21:08) #192

~autumn Tue, Dec 22, 1998 (17:22) #194

I had to break down and by the CD a couple years ago when I finally wore the tape out. Have you heard someone covering that tune recently? Can't remember her name. Do you?

~jgross Tue, Dec 22, 1998 (17:45) #195

Cowboy Junkies / The Trinity Session 1.Mining for Gold 2.Misguided Angel 3.Blue Moon Revisited (Song for Elvis) 4.I Don't Get It 5.I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry 6.To Love Is to Bury 7.200 More Miles 8.Dreaming My Dreams with You 9.Working on a Building 10.Sweet Jane 11.Postcard Blues 12.Waking after Midnight

~stacey Tue, Dec 22, 1998 (17:50) #196

Marguex Timmons That's my fave Cowboy Junkies CD! (Autumn, I'm telnetting and can't back up! So, if your question was NOT related to the lead singer of the Cowboy Junkies... oops!)

~jgross Tue, Dec 22, 1998 (20:42) #197

I can't back up either, Autumn. That darn Marguex is chasing me again. She runs about as fast as Stacey.

~autumn Tue, Dec 22, 1998 (20:42) #198

Hey, that's not saying much, considering Stacey is wearing platform shoes...thanks for the name of the artist, I would never have come up with it.

~jgross Tue, Dec 22, 1998 (20:42) #199

that's when she's doin' that alternative modelling or when she's at work or when workin' on some mean meal at a restaurant. I'm always slippin' and fallin' tried to get away from her and Marguex when they chase after their prey down the tow path out of the woods and over to the river. They smoke everyone.

~KitchenManager Tue, Dec 22, 1998 (20:42) #200

That's why, with those two especially, it's better to be where they are going instead of where they've been...
