Subject: Swingtime
swingtime is in fact bi-monthly, starting with the December issue with
the drawing of Royal Crown Revue on the cover, by the ever-so-talented
Fritz. The staff (dubbed The Wrecking Crew) has kicked into high gear
and now there are a few more writers. Including L.A.'s own Miss Toni
Czechorosky (who happened to have her photo snapped dancing at the Derby
for the US Magazine article on swing last year!).

Subject: More on Swingtime
The Zippers have been approached by Michael Moss to do an interview for
Swingtime but they haven't given in to him yet. They're still a little
leary of this whole "swing" issue and aren't sure if it would be the right
thing for them to be in such a magazine. i mean, they can't even shake the
swing thing when they appear in SPIN magazine. Imagine how it'd look if the
graced the cover of this publication.
So for now, the Zips have been avoiding Moss "like the plague" until they
can figure out if they want to be in that magazine or not. I agree with
their thinking, personally, and don't blame them for not wanting to be in
there. I'm a little divided on the whole Pentium Commercial issue...I mean,
when Spiritualized was in that Volkswagen commerical, I gave my brother a
whole bunch of shit and said that they "sold out"....Hmmm....you never know
what to think until it happens to you, i guess ;)
Also, I haven't seen Blast from the Past yet (why?!?! WHY!?!) but i know
that "trou Macacq" is featured in the whole swing dancing section of the
movie. Which is funny, cuz it's a calypso song...but I digress. The point
is, the Zippers feel a little funny about that too.
Me and Emily are going to see the Dirty Dozen tonight. She wanted me to
tell you all that. So now you know.

i think it would be different if the snz wrote a song called "Mmmm Pentium
Chip!" for the commercial, but all they really did was make some money off
the song...it's not really selling out if they didn't compromise their
artistic integrity
right?

Well, even though they did do the interview, I know I'd avoid him.errr.
he makes me want to throw things. and i think he only owns like 3 suits.
Sorry about the whole SNZ cover mix-up too. i didn't buy this month's
issue because I'm not all that fond of the Bix Six and didn't give it
much of a perusal at the newsstand.

Don't waste you money!! Aside from being willing to kill for Sissy
Spacek's entire kitchen, I thought it was terrible. and REALLY bad
dancing. what was that? it was like spastic ECS with random kicks thrown

Anyone out there have any info on a CD from the "Imperial Swing
Orchestra"? Here's the description from Hepcat:
"A 10 piece outfit with a female vocalist. Influences include Cab
Calloway, Billy Holiday, and Benny Goodman as well as 40's Jump Blues.
Produced by Mike Napolitano (Squirrel Nut Zippers)."
I'm intriqued, in part because of Napolitano's involvement. Has anyone
heard any of this band's work live or recorded?
Thanks,

closer, you may want to check back at thier site at

Morning Becomes Eclectic (quite possibly the BEST radio show in the
universe, next to mine of course) under the In Studio archive.
right now i'm enjoying to Neil Finn's MBE from august. they've got
scores of others including Beck, Ben Folds Five, Rufus Wainwright, Davíd
Garza, Ben Lee, Leonard Cohen, Dmitri From Paris, Komeda, Morphine.. oh
hell, everything on there is good. except for that freak occurence with
Third Eye Blind. i can't imagine Nick Harcourt was happy with that.

Wow, Cort-nay comes through with big news for us!
The start time is 9:30 EST, 6:30 PST and 2:30 GMT (which is really ALL THE
SAME TIME) :) That's sunday March 14
This is NOT a new live performance. The site says it's from the S. Carolina
HOB performance on 12/11/98. Actually, i believe Ryan was there...weren't
you Ryan?
Anyone here...i am BEGGING you...if anyone can tape a webcast, PLEASE do.
if you can, please mail me pronto, as well.
I will remind the list before March 14 that the webcast will be on, but I
suggest to everyone that they go to the site (www.liveconcerts.com)and go
down to where it says "upcoming events", find the SNZ events, and then
submit your email address to the site, and they will send you a nice
reminder 24 hours in advance. You can also get ready by downloading the
correct player and such.
If ya like, the Cherry Poppin Daddies will be on this friday, along with
those darlings of 2nd wave ska, The Specials.
Oh, also, I will be setting up a chat room for everyone to come and chat
while we listen to the webcast on March 14. Sound fun? i hope everyone will
be able to make it!

That HOB south carolina show was great!!!! Hobex opened for them, and
Tom, Ken, Je, & Jim came out to do horns for a song. I can't wait to
listen to it...now that I have a visual.
NOTE: There was this drunk guy and his wife at the show standing next to
me. And I over heard him saying "Yeah, James came in for a check-up the
other day...and i'm going backstage after the show 'till one in the
morning!". I didn't believe him, but after the show when I was getting
jim's autograph I saw him and his wife getting on the tour bus with
Katharine. And when they left it must have been 2:00am. I was
shocked!!!! So if you hear some drunk guy in the crowd yelling "Play put
a lid on it" its him.

Hey this was sent out today. I don't know how many of you got it, but i'll
post it here:
Hey Squirrel Nut Zippers fans!
Mammoth Records is proud to announce the upcoming release of LEGACY,
the Stacy Guess tribute album to be released March 23, 1999.
Many fans may recall that Stacy was the trumpeter for the Zippers on
The Inevitable and he played with the band until his departure in
1996.
Stacy played with many other locally and nationally acclaimed bands
(The Pressure Boys, Sex Police, SOMA, and Venus Flytrap Girls).
Unfortunately, Stacy passed away in March 1998 so Mammoth decided to
release an album that compiled tracks from his short career. The two
Squirrel Nut Zippers tracks included were previously only available on
the Kell 7" and the Limited Edition Sold Out EP.
As a memorial to Stacy, an annual
scholarship has been established to benefit a young musician at Chapel
Hill High
School, Stacy's alma mater. All of the proceeds from this CD
will go toward the Stacy Guess Outstanding Musician Scholarship to
encourage other young musicians,
who, like Stacy, know the joy of making music.
Please check out the Mammoth site in coming weeks for more information
about the release fo the record as well as how you can contribute to
the scholarship.

Thanks.

I am really mad because I forgot about the grammy awards. Then I heard

Wynton...i'm not a big fan of Bop, but I love watching good trumpets
play. Can someone tell me what the BB & Eric thing was like???? I really
wanted to see that. And then there is Brian Setzer. I don't like him at
all. Mainly because he RUINED Prima's song "Jump jive 'n wail". I also
listened to his CD once at boarders and didn't like it at all.
NOTE: That Ray profile on bravo was sweet. I don't know about you guys,
but my public t.v. stations always have some really old jazz stuff on.
I've seen a Ellington movie, and Dizzy profile. Dizzy is a trip! At one
point in the interview he was smiling and then looked up with a blank
look on his face, looked at his watch and said "I gotta get home to my
wife" and then just left the interview.

Yes! The Zippers are going to be on PBS! I went to the

was recorded in Denver, 1997. The article said they'd be doing stuff from
The Inevitable, Hot, and Perenial Favorites. I'm happy! I must definately
program the VCR!
To find out when it'll be playing in your area, go to www.pbs.org, go to
search and search for "Squirrel Nut Zippers Live." It has an area where you
can check you local listings at the bottom of the article.

Today was so cool.....
I'm in this tough AP U.S. History course at school, and we've been working
hard all week. But today, a guy named Karl Knopp came in and gave us a swing
dancing lesson...seeing as how we are studying the 1930's and all. :) Well,
this guy was cool....he is friends with and has worked with Frankie Manning
(who has worked with Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Count Basie), etc...and
Norma, the Queen of Swing. It was really fun...a definite change from the
rigors of daily work. Well anyway, this really doesn't have much to do with
SNZ, but at least they were influenced from music around that time period.
Wurd up.
Oh, and Jess and I saw the Dirty Dozen last weekend. They rocked....they got
the (rather static) crowd up on their feet and they gave us a good time. We
had some real funny people sitting next to us. ("Yeah, yeah!") It was cool.
And i got to park without paying $5.00...i've learned how to beat the system!

the 9th or the 13th!! I guess I will have to start calling all of my out
of state family (every day if needed) and make sure they remember to
tape the whole thing. I can't believe Maryland would do such a thing!!
And it's an HOUR long...i'm moving!!!!

Subject: JE (?)
I was talking to Bryon Settle, the guy who used to play guitar for the
Pressure Boys (the band that Stacy guess & Je Widenhouse used to be in)
and he said that J.W. didn't go by the name Je until the Zippers. And he
also said he used to live with Stacy and Je at one point.
