Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORRECTIONS ----------- The 8/2 Seven Mary Three show at the Riv has been moved to the Vic. WIND-UP TOY PARTY ----------------- A few years ago, before I started doing this, Liz Clayton published the Chicago Shows List. Now, Liz writes a top-notch zine called Wind-Up Toy. For the next issue's release, there will be a magazine release party July 13th at Empty Bottle, with all Ohio bands, to tie in with the All-Ohio theme of the issue. Excuses of "I'm already going to see the HORDE Festival at the World that night", or worse, "I'm going to see Hootie at Alpine Valley", will not be tolerated. BUZZCOCKS --------- According to Secret Public, the Buzzcocks fan mailing, they'll be coming to Chicago July 18th. I have no more specifics than that, but would appreciate any info you have. JAZZ FESTIVAL ------------- If anyone wants info on the Jazz Festival down in Grant Park, let me know and I'll forward you the bits of schedule that I have. THE CURE -------- Get your cloaks out of the closet. Cure tickets on sale Saturday at 10am. SUMMERFEST ---------- For those of you interested in the Summerfest schedule, go check out the slick-as-hell Summerfest web site at www.summerfest.com. I'm not going to bother reproducing everything there. If tons of you don't have web access, I guess I could list the biggies. Let me know. GUESS THE REFERENCE: WINNERS ---------------------------- Best entry was from Jim D oppke, his second: oh HO, now you've opened up a can of post-collegiate worms so sensitive they'll cry if you suggest that their Heidegger paper really *deserved* a B. It is a testament to our cultural decline that while one could plausibly and effectively use '70s singer-songwriters' product to get laid, '90s singer-songwriter product has been comprised of such wan, banal self-scrutiny that it's about as good a tool for getting laid as your SAT results. It's enough to make you wish you never bought an acoustic guitar. The quote is from the Indigo Girls' "Closer to Fine," a tune marginally better than the song in which they sing about their sweat smelling clean. Yuck. The random winner is Jenn Skaja. Winners, send your snail mail address to me at shows@tezcat.com. GUESS THE REFERENCE: THIS WEEK ------------------------------ 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. Also, make sure your name is somewhere in the entry.

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