What are these lists?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Unless the names Mother's Milk, Middle Earth or the Revolting Tones Revue   
        ring any particular bells, where the people who make up this
                             Chicago Shows List
           came from is irrelevant to who and where they are now.
                               Read The List!
                                      
                         Shows of note as of 8/15/96

 UPDATES/CORRECTIONS
 -------------------
 Boy, am I glad I don't like Slayer.  Their show at Metro has been moved to
 the Riv, meaning additional tickets are now available.  What sounded like a
 charming little intimate evening with Slayer now sounds positively
 pointless.
 
 
 GRIFTERS' SECRET SHOW
 ---------------------
 A couple of people have asked about a secret Grifters' show at Empty
 Bottle.  Here are the pieces that I see: This week's Reader has a Tower
 Records ad for the latest Grifters album, and it says "Appearing at the
 Empty Bottle Aug 16 & 17", and I sure as heck haven't heard of "The Pump
 Action Retards", listed as playing the Empty Bottle Prom on the 17th.
 Sounds to me like Grifters fans who show up on Saturday won't be
 disappointed.
 
 Empty Bottle says that this year's theme for prom is "The Love Boat.  Dress
 accordingly."
 
 
 NEW INNOVATIONS AT THE READER
 -----------------------------
 Look at the Reader's Early Warnings column this week.  It's like a little
 Shows List, and to be fair, I use it as one of my sources.
 
 This week, they have little symbols before each listing!  One is for "new
 listing", and the other is for "updated or revised listing".  Kinda like
 "*" and "+" here, eh?  If they have "Guess The Lyrics" next week, I'm
 callin' a lawyer.
 
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE (last week)
 -------------------------------
 The "we like the punk and the metal bands" is from "Walk Like An Egyptian"
 by The Bangles.
 
 Best entry was from Chris Korose:
     while i was still in college, there was this big guy
     named Russ who lived down the hall-- a professional
     kickboxer, he was, when not in school.  i was never quite
     sure what he studied-- i'm sure it wasn't anything particularly 
     earth-shattering, though he was known to throw knives
     at his dorm room walls on occaision...
     
     so i vaguely remember Russ telling me a story one time,
     about how he was 12 years old and had the opportunity to meet
     the lead singer of the Bangles, who sing that "walk like an egyptian"
     song and whatnot...  according to Russ, all he could do was stare at
     her bare naked leg, strategically perched up on a chair, just below his
     eye-level.
     
     "you have nice legs," said the young Russ.
     
     "you can touch it if you want," replied the singer, whose name eludes me, 
     in a round-about-way referring to the aforementioned, perched leg...
 
 Her name is Susanna Hoffs, of course.  Random winner (out of 9) this week
 is the Shows List's own Liz Clayton.  Woo-woo!  Winners, mail me your
 snail-mail addresses.
 
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE (this week)
 -------------------------------
 This one is a curveball.  I hope it doesn't stump everyone, but you guys
 have come up with answers to stuff I thought was obscure before.  Nobody ever
 said the references had to be sung.
 
 You all know the rules: Mail your guess for song & artist to
 <shows@tezcat.com>.  Put "GUESS" in the subject line.  Two prizes of a
 Shows List Dollar will be awarded: one for best entry, and one randomly
 picked from all correct entries.
