Ryan,
You should call up the Rykodisc order place and tell them what happened. I'm
sure that they will send you one. Or, contact the band themselves!!! There
was an address on the last newsletter that was posted...
I haven't gotten my Grandeur cd yet; it's stuck at the border.

wiped out right and will give big big details of everything I did (like, I
saw Immortal!!) but later. Here's a fun fact that will annoy me for the
rest of my life:
I just got email from Ken saying that if I would have checked my email
thursday night, i could have gone to his place for dinner with him, chris,
and tom. but he planned it to quickly so i never got a chance to get in

i'll just stand here and everyone walk by and kick me in the ass, okay?

Subject: NC: part 1
Okay, here is one Zipper-related part of the vacation.
INSIGNIFICANT OTHERS, the movie viewing.
If you didn't know already, in 1994 when Tom was still with What Peggy
Wants, his longtime friend J. David Moody (an actor/filmmaker) made a movie
called "Insignificant Others" and asked Tom and bandmate John Ensslin to be
the "comic relief" in the movie as the team of Bob and Ray, friends of one
of the main characters. Read more about the movie at:
http://www.arcana.com/~mogul/softwhite/index.html
I found the website and asked David if I could get a copy. He told me "No,
but if you live near me you can come watch it at my place." I think he was
joking, but I took him up on the offer, knowing I was going to Chapel Hill
for a week. So we made plans for my friend Ginger and I to come to his
house in Raleigh on Thursday night of last week and see the movie.
David is a very friendly, funny, and bubbly guy. He grew up with Tom and
you can tell they are friends because they have the same gregarious
personality. And the same very cute southern accent :)
The movie is about a rapist who uses girls and then some people die and
stuff. It was pretty good, but the acting was a little choppy. The best
parts, honestly, were John and Tom. They added the much needed comic
relief. Tom was very funny and ad-libbed some lines (David pointed them
out) and John just has a presence that made me say "that boy should be in
more films!"
If you ever get a chance to watch a film, be it indie or hollywood, with
its creator, do it! I got some fascinating looks into the making of a movie
and some secrets. Of course, I will share them with you:
- -In one scene, we see the rapist in the act of raping a girl, It's
tactfully done with him sort of pumping his face into the camera. The way
this was shot was by the cameraman lying on the floor with a camera and the
actor basically humping his leg. The camera man asked for a second take,
and when David yelled "cut" the actor dismounted, the camera moved the
camera and looked at the actor and said "You have beautiful eyes" hehehe
- -Since you will probably never see the movie, i'll tell you that the rapist
is killed by one of his victims taking a syringe and putting rubbing
alcohol into a lightbulb in his bathroom. Aparently, if you do this and
then turn on the light, everything you touch (like the hair dryer) will
short and you'll die from electorcution. David said he came up with that
one night while on secuurity at a dorm at UNC and was thinking of ways to
kill off some annoying girls in the dorm. Spooky, eh?
- -The dorm scenes are suposed to take place at the big fancy dorm, but the
initial outdoor shot was taken at the freshman dorm at UNC (howard james or
something) but the dorm room scenes were filmed in the upper room of
David's townhouse in Raleigh. Also, there was only one bed in the room so
they had to keep moving it and changing the covers to make it look like
these girls weren't sleeping together :)
- -Tom and John appear as Ray and Bob. The characters are the bartender and
waiter at Crook & Chase in Carborro, and so were tom and John. They are
both in What Peggy Wants and so are the characters. Tom's real life
girlfriend and now wife, Mel, appears in the film as Ray's girlfriend Mel.
The guys read the script and didn't have problems with its content, except
they wanted to change their names so it wouldn't be so lifelike.
- -One of the funniest moments in the movie is when Ray, Bob, and another
girl confront one of the rapist victims with the news that her boyfriend
(the rapist) is sleeping with someone else. The girl gets really pissed off
and walks off to find the guy, smacking away Ray's (tom's) beer. In all
that emotion, all Tom could ad-lib was "how rude." Very funny :)
- -After the credits roll, a single shot of John Ensslin is shown, with him
just staring at the camera and swaying. after about a minute and a half, he
says "what? what are you looking at?" then Tom comes in and says "hey man,
look what i got" and presents him with a bottle of wine. he says "you want
some?" and john looks at the camera and says "nope" and tom looks stunned
and john say s"hell yeah of course i want some" so they open the bottle and
drink and talk about how everyone is looking at them and Tom deadpans into
the camera "do you think we'll get paid?" and it's over :)
So david and Ginger and I talked a while. He had a lot in common with
Ginger and i think he had a crush on her :) She is going to England for the
semester and I guess David and Tom went one semester when they were in
school too. He told me about some picture he has of Tom coming out of the
shower in nothing but a top hat. So if you ever see tom with a top hat,
know he got it in england and he showered with it :)
Well, that's all for this installment of all the Zipperness that happened
for me in NC. Tomorrow, Immortal!

Subject: NC Part 2: Immortal- SPOILERS!!!
If you are Shaun and you don't want to read this little review of the movie
"Immortal" because you think you have an ice cube's chance in hell of ever
seeing it, then please skip to the next message. Otherwise, here it goes:
IMMORTAL
This is sort of a "sister" movie to "Insignificant Others." One of the
filmmakers, Steven Wright, was "1st AD" on J. David Moody's crew for that
film. In the opening scene of Immortal, there is a body lying on the
ground, at a weird angle, and there is blood oozing from it. This scene was
shot almost exactly the same as a scene in Insignificant Others. After the
camera moves from the body, it moves to a list of names the vampire is
crossing off as its victims. The name for this body is, of course, Moody :)
David said that the filmmakers for Immortal came up with the idea while
they were shooting "IO" and began filming it during the production of "IO"
and Immortal came out first.
The plot is basically these guys are in a band, the lead singer also
happens to be a vampire. His grandad (played by frank Aard, who was the
father of one of the rape victims in IO) was a vampire and his dad wasn't,
because it skips a generation. There's something about a train wreck and
his dad but i didn't really cactch the whole point to that part of the
story. Anyway, this guy in the band keeps biting and killing people and one
bandmate knows about it and he gets all pissed off about it. No one else
knows, and no one knows why all these people keep showing up missing. No
wait, I think the bouncer at the Cradle knows as well.
Anyway, Tom Maxwell is shown about 4 times in the movie. First, he is at a
concert and sneaks a picture of said vampire while he's on stage, and the
vampire signals for the bouncer to take away Tom's camera (because, as we
all know, vampires don't show up on film!). Then there is another scene at
another concert where Tom is in the crowd. After the show, Tom is walking
around the club by himself, and the vampire goes out onto the stage, and
there is a teriffic scene where the vampire smashes a guitar, and Tom takes
the broken neck and shoves it into the vampire. But for some reason, the
vampire doesn't die and Tom does. I think what happened is that the vampire
just reached into Tom and ripped out his heart, a la "Indiana Jones."
Anyway, there's a great scene where the vampire is holding Tom's heart
above his body, then he squishes it horribly all over him. cool stuff. oh,
and he didn't have any lines at all.
So then the vampire goes and tells the bandmate what he did, and the
bandmate freaks out and says "dude, he was a Sony rep! he was important!
not only did you fuck up our chances of being signed, you also killed
someone who will be investigated!!" rock on.
then there is a slightly humorous scene where the 2 bandmates go back to
the club to hide the body, and we see a nice shot of Tom lying there
covered in blood, glasses half off, i think stuffed partly into a garbage bag.
That's pretty much where i stopped paying attention. people kept calling
and stuff. and my friend came home.
Oh, SNZ appear in the film as a band. they played Danny Diamond...Ken on
gitar, katherine singing in this wacky oriental robe getup, jim on guitar,
Tom on drums (but since he's supposed to be dead, they don't show his face
really), chris on percussion, I think Don Raleigh on bass, Stacy Guess on
Trumpet, Spencer Adams on sax, and John Kempannin on fiddle. Very cool.
SNZ's presence in the movie didn't actually fit into the plot, but eh...
Oh, and there was a scene in the movie where the vampire takes his
girlfriend to the movies and the movie they're watching is some weird,
un-follow-able thing that the writers had made up (not a real movie) and it
starred Greg from hobex (not as himself, of course) but he had funky hair
and was just smiling a lot and i think he ran some then jumped into a lake.
one other note, my friend's roommate (the ones i stay with in NC), Joe
Caparo, was in a band called Reverb-a-ray who are on the soundtrack and i
guess in the movie. And Joe would like me to tell you all that he did a lot
of the songs for that film but didn't get credit :)
So there you go. the famous "Immortal" movie. Not really worth the time i
spent watching it to see Tom, but worth the $3 i paid. and of course,
bragging rights ;)
If anyone has a friend in NC, i rented it from VisArt video in Carborro
(next to the Cradle). My friends only had one VCR, or i would have taped it
for y'all!
Coming tomorrow: Part 3, I am marrying into the SNZ family.

has anyone ever tried to plant those promo seeds that were part of the

also, on jeopardy last night (tuesday) they had a swing cateogry and one of
the "answers" was something like:
This North Carolina band takes it's name from a peanut candy
and none of the contestants buzzed in, and alex trebek said, "oh, it's
squirrel nut zippers"
and then the whole audience started laughing

Damn straight! I can't do that anymore, though -- I now have a padded
"gig bag", but it's worth it to not have to carry mutes 'n' wind clips
separately.
Let's start a thread on fun things to do with instruments!
This isn't very useful, but it's an interesting idea: On trigger
bones, try sticking a spitball inside the tuning slide and pumping the
slide to build pressure. (Not good for your instrument -- I don't do
it) At The Critical Moment, pull the trigger, wince at the cracked
note, and laugh as your enemies wallow in the stinking mud-pit of
defeat.
It's kind of fun to take a euphonium (to branch out within the low
brass section) and place it upon one's shoulder, pretending it's some
sort of missle launcher.
My friend the tuba (player) keeps her water bottle, music, lyre, and
paperback novel in her horn during marching season.

>Let's start a thread on fun things to do with instruments!
Speaking of such... I recommend that all trumpet players learn as many sound
effects as you can. So far I've learned how to growl, laugh, make it sound
like a monkey, a woman sighing, and a seal. And a REALLY LOUD, VIOLENT growl
I made up. You hum, growl, and flutter tongue (roll R's) all at the same
time while playing with a plunger. It's good for scaring somebody between
songs. Then learn to Circular Breath!
GROWL: Hum and growl from the bottom of your throat while playing.
LAUGH: Use a plunger (drill hole through center if needed) and do fast falls
from a higher to a lower note. (takes a lot of practice)
MONKEY: Play all three valves half valve while playing high back to back
triplets.
SIGH: Same as the laugh except slower and more gradual (slur down about two
notes)
SEAL: Squeak out a high note with a very short/fast fall.

From: Andy Harman
Subject: Lou Bega
Just picked up the Lou Bega debut album, with the song "Mambo Number 5"
already sitting number one on several stations before the release.
This is some unique stuff, and it might have some appeal to Zipperheads...
I like it anyway :-) It's kinda salsa, kinda ska, kinda reggae, kinda old
jazz, kinda techno, kinda calypso. I like it better than anything I've
ever heard classified as "ska" or "salsa". Fun, fast, catchy.
"Mambo Number 5" is the hot song, hard to avoid if you listen to the radio.
It grabbed me... best thing going around the 90-minute turn right now.
"Baby Keep Smiling" - neat little retro tune with just enough
techno-riffing and dialog ("mobile phone") to remind you it's brand new.
"Can I Tico Tico You" - great, hot calypso that reminds me of "Hell" in
some ways.
"I Got a Girl" - great song. This guy writes some great lyrics, as simple
as they sound. Some of these other pop bands could use a lesson or two
from Lou.
Etc, etc... the album is brand new (released yesterday, 8/24). It comes
out of Germany and their web site (www.loubega.de) is all in German
although there are dead hooks for an English version under construction.
The guy sounds American to me, but the production is all German and his
summer tour is all European. Methinks with this release Mr. Bega will be
booking a U.S. tour soon. Probably an American that got tired of being
jacked by the record companies and went to Europe to get off the ground.
Look what Hamburg did for the Beatles...
I'm just curious as to what some of us SNZ/BOF fanatics think of this.
Everybody has their quirks (I've already met people who HATE "Mambo") but
it always makes my day/week/month when something brand new really grabs me.
Oh yeah, Lou is a little bit of Sam the Sham & The Pharoahs too :-) If
anyone remembers Sam and can see/hear the analogy speak up.
Sample Sam lyric:
"My gal is RED hot"
(chorus) "Your gail ain't diddley squat"

Here's a babelfish translation of the website greeting:
Hello dear Mambo friends!
I am Lou Bega and am pleased enormous that my Web PAGE
selected you. Mambo is easy mad and it makes for me fun
to dance and laugh with you on this music. My new Songs
I present shortly and to her can surely be, these become
just as explosively as ' Mambo No.5 '. If you come on
one of my concerts, we will spend one superevening
together. Until soon
Your Lou
I guess online translation still has a ways to go...

WHAT?!?!? Whats the name of the CD? Please give me some more information. I
know Duke/Billy's work in and out and find it hard to believe that they
would just now be releasing work thats not been heard. It sounds like it
might be one of his suite's (Harlem, New Orleans, Shakespeare, etc...)

Buddha Records / Duke's Joint
Full info is on the back of the CD...
"The prev. unreleased performances on DUKE'S JOINT show off one of Sir
Duke's Hottest bands jammin' live in '45 in front of a studio and
broadcast audience. ... Many of the selections from these shows were
never recorded again while the remaining tracks offer rare,
interesting and unusual arr.s on familiar material including a very
different (not really, from the versions I've heard) version of
'Caravan.'"
BTW, "Yesterdays" (a` la` vibrata excessiva) and a few other songs w/
vocal are on there, just to remind us how much ass Kat Whalen kicks :)

As of Tuesday 8/24/99 it's in full blown release in the US, should be
available on cassettes and CD in any major music store. The album is
called "A Little Bit of Mambo". It's difficult to figure out where this
guy is from... does Latin and Jamaican styles, talks like an American,
looks like Billy Dee Williams, dresses like Desi Arnaz... CD issue is from
Germany. One thing he's NOT is German... ah well, we're all Earth People
today anyway and this produces some very interesting music!
><>
>
>Sorta like a morph of Sam and Cab Callaway.
The fact that 3-4 of the songs on the album have nearly identical rhythm
with "Mambo Number 5" is very Sam-ish. Pretty hard to tell
"Pharoah-a-Go-Go", "Ju-Ju Hand", "Ring Dang Do" and "Standing Ovation" from
"Wooly Bully".
Domingo "Sam The Sham" Samudio was another cross-culture artist... a
Mexican-American and four west Texan greasers dressed up in fake Egyptian
robes riding around in a hearse playing some of the hottest garage stuff of
the 60's. I think they once appeared on Ed Sullivan in full costume - no
doubt from looking at the pictures what inspired Steve Martin's live
performance of "King Tut" on Saturday Night Live. Sam is great party
stuff... available on Polydor (greatest hits CD) and there may be a Rhino
collection too. As rock music got more "sophisticated" and hard core fans
of CSNY and Simon & Garfunkel et. all turned up their noses at head-bashing
bands like Sam's, rock drifted from it's roots until brought back to ground
zero by the punk movement in the late 1970's... fortunately it has retained
some decent diversity since then.
BTW, if you want to hear the most honest-to-God rock & roll tune recorded
in the 1970's, try 1 minute and 35 seconds of Elvis Costello's "Mystery
Dance" from his first album "My Aim Is True".

I invented only one instrument, the Double-Bell Slide Bedside - which
consisted of a trombone slide, two trombone bells, and a tubular bed
railing. Unfortunately it couldn't make up it's mind what key to play in
with two bells at different distances from the leadpipe. Also a bit tough
to march with unless you have two helpers.

The best way to play a hose is with a French horn mouthpiece... it seems
better suited to the long tubing for some reason. I knew a guy who could
play the hose pretty well (majored in French horn in college). Also I have
an old record of the Hoffnung Music Festival, featuring among other things
Dennis Brain on the garden hose (called a "hosepipe") and Gerard Hoffnung
on an 8-foot tall subcontrabass tuba which he claimed had hot & cold water
taps on it somewhere. Hoffnung also used rifles, a Hoover floor polisher,
and smashed dishes. His version of Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony really has
a serious surprise! Hoffnung is mostly remembered as a cartoonist (for the
British magazine "Punch") and not as the forbear of Peter Shickele's "PDQ
Bach" parodies, many of which are too cerebral to be funny.

Subject: schizophrenia (off topic, naturally)
That's a bit sad. One of my friends from university suffered from extreme
delusions, bordering on schizophrenia (he thought the radio was talking to
him and that a mercenary group was out to kill him just because he tapped
into the wrong internet site). He had to get psychiatric help and take time
off from uni.
Actually, it's quite scary when a schizophrenic person makes it a point to
pay exclusive attention to you. Best thing to do is to just waaallkkk
awaaaay......
It's wierd that one of the bouncers wouldn't have intervened. That is, if
they were being bothered during their set.

Subject: That there Katherine Whalen
Hello all;
Long time lurker (Well, a few months at least), first or second time
contributor.
Just thought you might all be interested in my little story that sort of
involves Katherine Whalen:
Last night I got off work at KMart at 7:00, and decided to run to the mall
to get some minidiscs, cause I'm out right now. Well, I got the minidiscs
(a nice pack of 8, made by Sony, in there own box!), and proceded to leave
the place, but then I remembered that Tori Amos' new single had come out,
and thought I'd drop by a music store across from the mall, and grab it.
Well, I hopped out of my car, and went inside. Found the single for $6.99,
and since I'm so cheap, I decided to try to find it cheaper elsewhere (My
goodness--It only has 3 songs on it!!!). Well, I walked out to my car,
reached into my pocket to get my keys, and WHOOM, I couldn't find them!
Well, I looked in my car window, and there they were, dangling from the
ignition! SO, I went to a payphone, and dialed my parents house, hoping
they would be home to bring me my extra keys, well, no such luck, they were
at the local fair (Even though it was raining), so I spent two hours walking
around in the rain, and also inside the mall.
(Be patient, Katharine's coming up soon!)
Well, I was walking outside, in the rain, past the Olive Garden, and guess
who's album they were playing on the loudspeaker outside? That good old
Katharine Whalen's!
Just thought I'd tell you all that! Maybe more people are fans of hers
than we think!
Sincerely,
the longtime lurker;
Daniel J. Summers

"...The Iron Giant is one of those movies that you walk out of feeling
good about the world and everything in it.It brightens your day and
makes even the bad things seem in some way good. For example I went to
Dunkin' Donuts to get something to eat and there was this gorgeous
girl behind the counter and when I got my food and started eating it I
noticed that there was a long strand of her hair in it.

Now that's some cool stuff! Did it play two notes at once? It would be
sweet if you could make the two notes be like a minor third apart... give
a cool sound. Anyway... rock on. :)

mammoth page that Tom has an official site, www.tommaxwell.com, but I tried
