Every so often I receive bounced messages from accounts that are NOT on the mailing list. This is NOT cool. Currently, I'm getting bounces for cbok@chronic.mn.org and can't tell who is forwarding to that account. THIS WEEK'S LIST IS GOOFY The "new this week" section is not sorted correctly because of technical problems. All the "The" bands are lumped together, Koko Taylor is under "K", and so on. I should have it fixed next week. R.E.M. UPDATE R.E.M. are starting their tour again in mid-May, which means their shows at the Horizon in early June will still go on. WHAT'S THAT SMELL? The Grateful Dead, the band I hate most, is coming to town. Still, being the service-minded fella that I am, I'm including their Chicago tour info is included here. The information comes via FTP, specifically /pub/gdead/tour dates at gdead.berkeley.edu. Be glad I work in a cubicle next to a Deadhead. NEW DATES There are a few shows with new dates this week, most notably the Poster Children who are now on the 19th, with the Smoothies opening. Yay! Also, Adam Ant is now on the 3rd of May, not the 2nd. THE SHOWS LIST: BOWDLERIZED OR TASTEFUL? A.C. are coming to town. I figure those who know who A.C. are will know who I mean without having to give their real name. I wrestled with this and thought "eh, it's just a matter of good taste". Heck, if they even put it as A.C. on the album covers, it's good enough for me. SUBSCRIBER COUNT We've reached 1000 subscribers.
