Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORRECTIONS / UPDATES / CHANGES * Conflict has canceled their April 14 show at Fireside. * The Dianogah show in Crystal Lake has been moved to May, but now with Dis- headlining. * Kenny Wayne Shepherd is now at Metro, with Bottle Rockets opening. ANDY RECOMMENDS Friday: The big WHPK record release bash at Empty Bottle with two of my favorite bands, The Goblins and Galaxy Of Mailbox Whores. Saturday: Go see the ska show at the Reynolds Club in Hyde Park. I'll be there passing out printed punk lists. FRED SCHNEIDER TO PLAY EMPTY BOTTLE Easily the wackiest lineup of the year, Fred Schneider of the B-52s will be playing Empty Bottle with a local all-star band: Rick Sims and Mark The Drummer from the Didjits, Tom Zaluckzyj of Tar, and Chris Fuller of Dis-. See the Empty Bottle listing for details. TOO BEAUCOUP! TOO BEAUCOUP! It's come to my attention that for you AOLers, and perhaps others, you don't get your List directly in mail, because it is usually bigger than your mail program (AOL, cc:Mail, whatever) can handle. In the case of AOL, you have to download it to a separate directory and view it with Notepad or something. For those of you who do have this situation, is it a problem? A pain? Would it be helpful if I could mail it out in two parts so that it wouldn't be so big? (This applies to all of you, not the AOLers). Let me know. It probably wouldn't be too big of a deal to do. Don't worry; I won't inflict that on those who don't want it. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS The correct answer: Nirvana, "Serve The Servants". Twenty correct answers, with one incomplete, and nobody wrong. Best entry: Robert John King How can the shows list pay off well with all these dollars you're mailing out? Random winner: Adam Peikin As always, winners have to send me their US Mail addresses. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- THIS WEEK No contest this week. I haven't thought of anything.

Your job is to figure out what it is, and make an entry. * Entries must be mailed to <shows@tezcat.com>, and should contain the word "GUESS" at the beginning of the subject line. Your guess must include both title of the song, as well as artist/band. If it's a literary reference, it should contain the title of the work, as well as the author's name. * There are two ways you can win: Best Entry and Random Correctness. * Best Entry: The best entry to be submitted will win. It could be the funniest, or the most knowledgeable, or whatever. It's up to you. My decision will be entirely subjective. Your entry must still contain a guess, and I'll weight heavily in favor of those who get it right. If you win Best Entry, I'll reproduce your entry in next week's list, so don't put anything in there you don't want published. ("This is one of my favorite songs! I last heard it while cheating on my wife...") * Random Correctness: I will randomly select an entry from all those with correct answers. * Only one entry may be made per week. Deadline for entry is whenever I mail out the next week's list. * It is possible that no prize will be awarded for a category. If there are no correct answers, then the Random Correctness category will have no winner. If I don't think any entries should win Best Entry, then they won't. * The prize will always be a genuine Shows List Dollar, mailed by US Mail. It is the winner's responsibility to check the next week's list and claim the prize. If you don't claim it, I don't mail it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
