His show at Empty Bottle was tremendous. It was all new songs, backed by what a friend called "the Touch & Go all-stars". It's definitely worth seeing. Plus, it's an early show, so you can get to Empty Bottle to see Poster Children. UPDATES / CORRECTIONS Dis- are not playing the May 11th show at Veteran's Acres. Garbage / Polara at Metro is moved to April 28th. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS Correct answer was "Ace Of Spades" by Motorhead. There were 22 correct answers, including one from the guys at Subculture. What a surprise. Best answer: Ryan Nelson As I sit here on a Saturday morning, fresh out of bed, there's nothing like a vision of Lemmy Kilminster to make my stomach turn a little. I mean that in a good way. Random winner: Anthony Cappiello Winners, send me your US Mail address. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- THIS WEEK This week should be much tougher, I hope. You guys were very cocky about it last week. "This one is TOO EASY!", you taunted. Mail your entries in to shows@tezcat.com. Please put "Guess" and your guess in the subject. Remember that band name is part of the answer.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
