Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISCELLANEOUS CORRECTIONS ------------------------- Now, not only is Danzig on a new day, it's a new venue. It's Feb 14 at the Vic, not the Riv on the 11th. GUESS THE REFERENCE ------------------- Last week: "Sunshine" by Jonathan Edwards. If there's ever been a cheesy 70s tune that needs a punk rock cover (and you'd think they'd all have been done by now), this is it. There were nine correct entries, and a handful of others that were close, but stumbled on Mr. Edwards' name. Random winner was Lisa Wodis, who also noted that it was the first 45 she ever bought for her Snow White record player. Lisa, send me your address. Rules recap: The first few lines in the heading of the List are a reference to a song. Mail your guess of song title and band to shows@tezcat.com. Put your guess in the Subject field. A random correct entry and the best entry of the week (if any) each win a fabulous Shows List Dollar. HEY! WHAT ABOUT LAST WEEK'S? ----------------------------- Yeah, I accidentally cut off the winners of last week's Guess The Reference. Best entry was Adam Peikin; random was Ann Hettinger. Winners, send me your snailmail address. 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.
