Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREE RADIO-SPONSORED SHOWS The Stabbing Westward show at Double Door on 4/18 is free, but tickets are only available through Rock 103.5. Both Rock 103.5 and Q101 are sponsoring some upcoming Stone Temple Pilots show, and I know none of the details about it, and you'd have to listen to the station to get tickets anyway, so I'm not going to put it in the List. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS Who'd have thought that Meat Loaf would bring out the most female responses yet to Guess The Reference? Of the nine entries that correctly identified the lines as being from "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad", four of them were from women. Best Entry: Jason Mittell You know Andy, this one was really cruel. Isn't it part of the new Internet Decency Law that you have to clearly label any email transmissions that contain references to Meat Loaf? Random winner: Brenda Jackson Winners, send me your US Mail address. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- THIS WEEK There's a new rule this week: Your entry must have your name in it somewhere. Most of you AOLers, for instance, don't have your names in the header to your mail. I don't give out email addresses in the List, so if you win, I must know your name. If your email header has your name in it, then don't worry about it. 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. CONTACT INFORMATION Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found out about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.

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