From: DABOZ42 @ aol.com Date: Sat, 4 Jul 1998 11:33:18 EDT Well, everyone, have been holding back for over a year now to post this note. I would like to know who plunked down money for these so-called hats. If you have, and since they were never delivered from tha manufacturer, did you ever receive a refund from WINMAN42.? This may not be the correct forum to bring this up, and I appologize in advance, but I think this deception by the manufacturer has gone on far far too long. Winman42 reports that they have not refunded him the money. Now, can we finaly settle this? The hats were advertised last year on this board, and I think that in the future there should be some guarantee for non- delivery. Granted, $20 for two hats if a fantastic deal, and is not a great deal of money to even bother about- but when you multiply it by the number of people who ordered them - it raises an "unlevel42ish" red flag in my eyes. Eric runs a fantastic board here, lets take some preventative actions in the future as not to taint his efforts in any way. Again, if I offended anyone, I apologize in advance, I just felt this needed to be said - as other efforts have failed over the past year. thanks, BOZ42 ------------------------------ Subject: my fellow Americans From: BHConrad @ aol.com Date: Sat, 4 Jul 1998 12:07:13 EDT Happy July 4th to everyone in the US, celebrating our independence from those wretched Brits! (kidding of course, hehe) since we're corrected each other's grammar + spelling, I think someone spelled 'The Fugative' wrong - it's Fugitive! :) I scanned a bunch of my pictures yesterday using my friends' PC, most of them were from ILF. Right now, they're unzipped GIFs, on my friends PC. * If Rob Steen, Richard Smith, and Pat Flanagan (one picture is of "your" restaurant") could email me , so that I can get your email address, I can arrange e-delivery. I will contact Don 'Z' separately. thanks, Bruce. ------------------------------ Subject: Mmmmmmmama Used To Say From: Dave Mock Date: Sat, 4 Jul 1998 13:46:10 -0700 (PDT) Hey, Micro-Kids: ELECTROFUNKJAZZPOP forever! I read the note in the Saturday Digest about Junior being at early L42 gigs and just morphed back to Christmas 1981. If there was a song that "Kiss-FM" (WRKS, then the primary urban station in NYC) pumped up big time, it was "Mama Used To Say." To this day it remains one of my all-time favourites. Reasons: Mr Giscombe's striking voice, clean production and lyrics that actually strike me because of the way I've lived MY life (trying to be older than I was without the maturity that came with it). As I remember, that was one of the songs that really pounded the "Kiss" airwaves that holiday season-- others included "I Can't Go For That," "Walking on Sunshine" and some new wave-dance thang I can't remember but whose lyrics included "Said knife and fork to sausage roll/It's tasty in the middle" or something like that. (Like "The Chinese Way," it's not profound but it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.) I think in 1981, 1984 and 1987, you had instances of the charts and styles getting radio airplay in a way that you haven't seen since. A beat is a beat is a beat, whether you've got guitars or keys or a funky bass backing 'em up (or in the case of L42, ALL OF 'EM). ***NYC Levelfesters: I've been out of e-mail central for a while, plus we've gone back and forth on the arrangements. Please email me to confirm you're up for Saturday, 1 August. TCOY, Duke ------------------------------ Subject: "Heaven in My Hands" and "Contact" From: MByrd42 @ aol.com Date: Sat, 4 Jul 1998 22:16:34 EDT Did you ever notice the vague coincidence that the CD single cover "Heaven In My Hands" features large radio antenna similar to those in the movie "Contact". I mention it only because I just bought the movie and the scenes where Jodi Foster is sitting in these fields next to these huge radio telescopes reminded me of the CD cover, and then I thought about some of the themes in the movie and the song. A bit of a chin stoker. Anyway... "We're only human after all..." Byrdman
