by Edward Halley 08 Aug '04

Attention Southern California Orb collectors! Virgin Megastore in Costa Mesa (@ the end of the 55 freeway) is giving away the promo vinyl of "Aftermath" and "From a Distance" (SANDJ-85632-1) when you purchase the new Orb CD "Bicycles and Tricycles" (on sale for $16.99) The box looks about half full, maybe a dozen 12" copies left. Might want to make that record run if your in the Southland! The vinyl is on the counter behind the cash registers. Happy hunting. fvll

>>> Don't remember if someone noticed if the vinyl and the Cd are the same versions. >>> Hey JC - Yes. The CD and 12" are all the same. I've just been blown away by that Hybrid Mix. Can'd stop listening to it.

Yeah yeah, you no more care about Kris than I do... which is a lil, but not really at all. I am just depressed cuz I just spotted Like Vibert in an Amstel Lite commercial (the one where they run a bunch of extention cords from their apartment to the park so they can have A/C). Who is left to sell out? GEL... What is that Ween forum addy anyhow? I wanted to get on there since you told me its very competitive and flaming, I often get my kicks from a good argument. _______________________________________________ give back you slags: http://mentor.org _______________________________________________ kermit kerm for children with special needs: http://www.heaven666.org/images/own3d%20by%20kermit.jpg _______________________________________________

If you record yourself saying, "I now are am" and then play it backwards it says Marijuana quite clearly. We used to always use cassette tapes and then open em up and flip flop the reels inside. I remember a whole tape I made from NIN Downward Spiral. I had heard he was using backwards bees humming, but theres some interesting things in there. I am more interested in what is intended that what is just people with a cure looking for a disease. >"If human speech is recorded and played backwards, mixed amongst the >gibberish at regular intervals >can be heard very clear statements. These statements usually appear in >short sentence form and are >nearly always related to the forward speech. It appears constantly >throughout language, so much so >in fact, that it is believed to be a natural part of our speech processes."

OT A Movie I Was In
by Matt SchIeffer 04 Aug '04

04 Aug '04

I finally found the record of it. I was an extra on the set of this movie called In the Line of Duty: Hunt for Justice back in 1995. We were at a baseball field somewhere in St Paul and I was right there in the thick of things. (or Thicke of things, had Allen Thicke been on the set.. but alas he wasnt in the movie). You can see me all blurry in the background for a few minutes, but my mom and best buddy Nardo made the cutting room floor. It was a sorta TV movie meant to be passed off as quality premium channel programming and... well theres a few good actors in it, but its generally not regarded as a very good flic. Can we even play Austrian DVD's in the US? Someone buy it for me and I'll pay ya back if it works... http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/220437 The worm turns, the wind shifts one-eighty, and the firestorm turns back on the arsonists, who had been operating with impunity for so long that they'd forgotten the feeling of Heat. -From the book Songs of the Doomed by Hunter S.

Green Ginger (Bus Remix)
by derrien＠club-internet.fr 03 Aug '04

I really like this version, although I think it's way too short. Don't remember if someone noticed if the vinyl and the Cd are the same versions. Green Ginger is one of my latest Orb favorites. I hope to find other versions of this track in the future. Up until now, there's 1. Green Ginger (Back to mine version) 2. Green Ginger (Bikes and Trikes version) 3. Green Ginger (Bus Version) For those who saw the latest Orb gigs, is the track any good live ? I hope so... I'm off until August, 17. Take care, all of you JC Ps : Brian, I will finally send your tape tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay.
