Subject: SNZ reference.
I found SNZ mentioned on TV and thought it was pretty cool so hear it is.
While I was flipping through channels I caught a music video like thing for
the Dirty Dozen Brass Band on BETjazz for the song "Unclean Waters" and kept
on watching thinking there would be some thing else good on after too. After
the commercial the host said:
"This next band 'Paris Combo' has been said to be a French version of
America's Squirrel Nut Zippers. Mixing Hot jazz with gypsy, swing, and other
influences to make a crazy party band."
The band was led by a woman and had growling trumpets...thats all I can say
about them.

I forgot to mention the best part. The last video they showed was a live
performance by the band 'Mighty Blue Kings'. They played a really SWEET slow
strolling blues number called "Baby put your hands in mine". I heard of this
band before, but thought they were just another one of those corny (every
song is the same) rip-off neo swing bands. I don't know about there other
songs, but that was one sweet blues. And like Louis, Duke, and just about
everybody else that mattered said "There aint nothing higher than the
blues"......

Got to have 'em both, boys and girls. But if I have to, I'll take Oh, the
Grandeur on the island along with my gin tonic fixins, juggling apparatus,
and Shakespeare plays.
Anyone else notice the shades of Archie Bunker when Andrew sings "If I could

Subject: NC part 3: i'm marrying into the family
Okay here's the last part of my trip sort of summed up. it's SNZ related.
One thing, i met a guy while down there. ironically enough he sort of
"picked me up" by mentioning his mom knew Jimbo (i was wearing an SNZ
shirt). His mom is Judy Woodall, who fronts "Judy Woodall's Mule Train" and
they played at all the barn dances this year.
SO we had a very packed-together week, fell in love, blah blah. the
exciting part (for y'all) is that i got to go to his mom's house for
dinner. She has a big farm house on the outskirts of Hilsborough, and in
that house is a recording studio. and Jimbo has recorded there! In fact, i
think he's doing some knockdown society stuff there. Her house is awesome.
there's all these instruments all over the place.
I guess Jimbo was over there recording on friday. She said she'd get me an
autograph. hehehe.
but the COOLEST thing is that she is also tight with Katherine, and since
Judy's singer quit the band, she has been looking for people to help fill
in and sing on her new album. She told me that Katherine will be singing
one of her (Judy's) songs on the new album, so YAY!!!! I'm going to try to
get some recordings so i can actually check this stuff out.
Another person she's tight with is Greg from Hobex. I saw Hobex for the
first time the night i left, Saturday, at the Cat's Cradle. The opening
band was The Carbines, and they're a good country-billy band led by this
little blonde girl that can WAIL. I mean, that voice comes from somewhere
deep inside. she sounds like Patsy Cline.
Hobex. Wow. they are one of the funkiest, grooviest bands i've ever seen.
Greg is this little cherubic white guy (like a tiny version of Andy
Richter) and he sounds like marvin gaye. In fact, they did 2 or 3 marvin
gaye tunes in the set. Unfortunately, none of the Zippers were at the show
(i tried to get Ken to come but he said he was rehearsing "some horrible
rock and roll shit" that night with glen ghram).
If you haven't gotten "Back on the 90's" yet, i reccomend it. it's their
last release, and i think all of the Zippers except maybe Stu and Katherine
appear on the album. and of course, you can buy it from Wash Jones. hehe
www.personal.kent.edu/~jbrandt/store/store.html
I got to meet Greg after the show. I guess he's played slide guitar with
Mule Train so Judy introduced me. He was wearing this black shirt that said
"Jas. Mathus and his Knockdown Society" and "North Mississippi All Stars"
and i wanted to buy it from him, but it was all worn out. he said he stole
it from Jim cuz he's in the band (KDS). Bastard!
I guess they're going to try to plan some more barn dances for the fall.
One of us has to get down there sometime!!! (of course, i am not adverse to
going down there again. hehe)
HOWEVER, if you're looking for something wild to do for Labor Day weekend,

Of course I'm off the subject! I just thought I'd like everyone to know
that I was just at the local mall and Best Buy, and bought a few CDs. Lou
Bega (haven't had a chance to listen to it yet; it looks nice at least),
Let it Be by the Beatles, some Best Buy Exclusive CD of Jimmy Buffett, and
a CD called 'Celtic Fiddle'. Love celtic music, love fiddle music: why not
combine'em? Just thought I'd let everyone know

8-31-99 Trivia Five Question: Name Four Recording Studios in which the

Cent Haircuts) of Bismark, ND, who answered,"ok, well, you've recorded at
Kingsway, Kensway (your house), WaveCastle, Yellow Recording, and that's
four, so I don't have to mention Spaceland, Overdub Lane, Mitch's
Brickhenge, or Jimbo and Katherine's (if that counts as a studio)." Right
you are, but don't forget Cat's Cradle and The Viper Room. KEN
8-29-99 Mammoth Record has agreed to let us record starting in October, for
an album that will come out in Early Spring, 2000! We will announce a title

feetlips commercial [Jessica Brandt ]

From: Jessica Brandt
Subject: feetlips commercial
Was watching TV this morning and i came upon a commercial on HGTV (i think
it was. or maybe TLC) for pasta and guess what song they used...
the beginning instrumental part of "Feetlips"!!! (this is a song from the
new BOF album)
Of course, i didn't catch the name of the company cuz i was so excited
about it, and i had to call my mom (no one was around!) and I looked all
morning for the company online but i can't figure it out...
something like "torlino" or "tovolo"....ARGH! i remember that under the
product name it had a little "aol keyword:" thing, but i don't have AOL...
anyway, keep an eye out for this pasta commercial with "Feetlips" and
please someone let me know what the hell company it is!
Also we need to find out if BOF/Ryko gave sanctions to use their song. if
not, we'll have to boycott said pasta once we find out its name! :)
