    Message-ID: <199602080656.XAA11920@bud.indirect.com>

            Hello all!

            A new update is due within the next day or so, as soon as I
    finish creating the initial Antiquities numberlisting.

            Well, SCENES FROM A MEMORY pre-ordering is open. It is due out in
    April sometime, based on the timeframe I'm getting from the inlay
    printers. Basically, my roommate got fired before she could pay her share
    of the rent around here, and I'm a bit short of cash as a result.
    Furthermore, I'm gradually getting hungry and I know I'll have to do
    something about that. :) But seriously, I guess it's now as good a time
    as any to begin orders. I'm caught up with WDATU and it's only a matter
    of time until AQ returns to me via UPS. Scenes was ready to begin
    production anyway, I was just trying to wrap up WDATU first.

            for RESERVATIONS: ok now, here's what's up. IF YOU ORDERED
    ANTIQUITIES, you do not need to reserve a copy of Scenes before you send
    your money in. Ever since Acoustic Dreams -> WDATU, I've simply been
    saving the reservations list (which is numberless) and copying it over to
    a new sheet, then filling in with highliter when a previous buyer buys
    again, to make things easier. However, each shipment has a +/- allowance
    of about 50 copies due to prototypes, replacements, and similar factors,
    so if you did NOT get an Antiquities, please feel free to e-mail me to
    reserve a Scenes as well.

            So to sum it up.
            If you reserved and/or ordered Antiquities, you can just send in
    the new order for Scenes. You need only mention it to me if you want more
    or less CDs than you sent for last time. This way, a lot of people can
    get the orders in soon without waiting for me and my sorry e-mail reply
    speed to catch up. :) If you didn't order AQ, you need only say the word
    to reserve Scenes.

            If you would like a tracklisting for Scenes, feel free to e-mail
    me for the current update, or check out Jeff Chew's webpage (for which I
    totally forgot the address).

            Thanks everyone and take care!!

    MTFBWY! Mike Bahr, durnik@indirect.com/mikebahr@dreamt.org

    To cover a lot of ground.
    1. Someone mentioned DT being dropped from Dave Letterman about a year
        ago because of something to do with length or type of music. The band
        dropped from that show was King Crimson, it was when Dave when to Paris
        to do some shows.
    2. My roommate at school just bought the NEW WDADU about a week ago.
        It's not remastered or anything just repackaged, with no lyrics. He
        found it at "THE WALL", an east coast chain store, so I'm sure it's out
        there.
    3. Third, about the Galactic Cowboys. Talk about hell finding an
        album. I looked at five different stores before I found it. Anyway
        about the guy they dropped (I am a fan, and I do have the other too
        albums, but I am still confused) is the guy they dropped, was he the lead
        singer, I know Monty Colvin does most of the lead vocals now, but was the
        guy they dropped the lead singer. I don't know I'm just confused. Great
        album though.
    4. I also picked up both Amiee Mann's new album, and Tori Amos's new
        one. If you like indie rock or Amiee's last one pick the new one up.
        And by all means if you haven't got into Tori yet do it NOW.

    Yeah-Columbia House has more non-mainstream stuff (Although Type O is actually
    kinda maindtream now. BTW, I got my Bloody Kisses from Columbia House).

    >A friend of mine got his ACOS from Columbia House
    >for $13... Slightly less than the Tower Records price back in October...

    Yeah, but you gotta figure that with the shipping and handling plus the long
    wait it's worth it to go to the store and buy it like I did. I went to The
    Wall with my Images shirt on the day it came out and, practically drooling,
    dished out $14. BTW, my friend got Awake from BMG.

    Found As the World in CD world in the used section, and having heard so much
    about, snatched it up. After listening to only the first track, I have to say
    it. GO GET THIS CD. FIND IT AT ALL COSTS. IF YOU DON'T, .....

    Some questions. Firstly, I know that they released other CDs, and I know that
    they are not on a major label, but self-produced or something. Where are
    these CDs? What are they like>? What is the status of the band now? And if
    anybody can, can you copy any other albums by these guys for me. I want to
    give this band exposure on my radio show.

    Can anybody also tell me what bands re signed to Magna Carta, and give me a
    brief description of them and their albums. I already know Shadow Gallery and
    Magelan. Is Ivanhoe on MC? I am currently writing to them for their CDs for
    my show. Can anybody give me some feedback on their products? also, how are
    the tribute CDs they released? Thanks in advance.

      I've been on the list for a few years, but for some reason, in December I
    stopped getting the 'Jam, and I just found time to resubscribe now. Hpoe I
    havn't missed anything important.

      Anyway, I'd just like to say that I got WDATU and think it sounds GREAT! I
    would like to say though that I like Charlie's version of "Status Seeker"
    better than James. Not sure if this has been discussed or not, but I really
    didn't like James' version at all. Oh well, they can't all be gems, right?
    :) Any comments on SS?

      On a totally unrelated topic to DT, I'd just like to say that if anyone is
    interested in joining a computer simulated NFL football league, I run the
    Cyber Simulation League on the 'net, and our draft starts on Saturday for the
    start of season 2. If you're interested, mail me here or at
    whit0421@gold.tc.umn.edu, or check out our website at:
    http://www.indirect.com/www/sedanta/index.htm I'm sre there's some football
    fans out there ion the 'Jam, so if so, let me know.

    Subject: IRC; new Metallica album
    Message-ID: <199602080545.AA16418@crl8.crl.com>

    Just a reminder about IRC: to find the exclusively-DT IRC server and
    channel, point your IRC client to irc.dreamt.org, port 2112. Once
    connected, just look for channel #ytsejam. There will usually be people in
    there chatting between, say, 8 or 9 pm and 1 am Eastern time (US). The
    current record is 16 users at once, and it's a rare night when we don't have
    at least 5 or 6 online.

    Notes: don't be disheartened if you show up and no-one says anything.
    Sometimes people will be away from their screens and glancing over from time
    to time, waiting for someone else to show up. Be patient. If you arrive and
    "Skadz" (the IRC op, 'owner' of dreamt.org) is the only other user present,
    he'll probably be away working, so don't leave right away.

    If no-one's there, or if it's just Skadz, try to wait around for a while.
    During evening hours in the States, it's rare for ten or 15 minutes to go by
    without someone stopping by or passing through.

    --Paul ("Pellaz" on IRC)

    Oh, I checked wth the Metallica Club on the new album and their confirmed
    date for the new album is June 4th for the USA, June 3rd for the rest of the
    world. So, now you know. :)

    To the person wondering what town DT is from here is your answer. John Myung grew up on Colby drive in Kings Park. John Petrucci grew up on Ravenwood drive in Kings Park. Kevin Moore is from Kings Park as was Chris Collins the singer from the demo. Mike Portnoy is from Long Beach. By the way, they all lived within a mile of me pretty cool eh?

    Hi jammers, I'm a new member of the ytsejam list, but I'm still one of the biggest fan of DT where I'm living in Quebec. There's some questions for which I would like to have some answers. First, I'm always searching for all the DT good CDs, but I don't know where to find them. Like, does anybody know where I could find WDATU, or at least order it? What are the songs on it? Then, Where can we find any DT t-shirts? See, they're not as popular in Quebec as they are anywhere else. People are just beggening to know them here. Anyway, if there's anyone who can answer my questions, I'd be really thanksful to him or them.

    P.S.: If there's any jammers from Quebec, show yourself on the list. I'd be very happy to communicate with them. Later jammers...

    High all, sorry for the non-DT content:

    Bernd Basmer's CD Superior is fantastic!! I just got it the other day and haven't stopped listening to it. In fact, and this might be scary to some of you, I found it more immediately likeable than Awake. I know, sacriledge(!), but it's true! It is a really nice piece of work. The musicianship is very nice, with some killer guitar work and some REALLY nice acoustic piano in some parts. The track Why is a 9 minute song very similar to Learning to Live. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who likes DT, due to their similar sounds, I'd love to hear them do a cover of DT, I might not be able to tell the difference! Unfortunately I don't have Bernd's e-mail address with me, but I do know the CD is available from Jason Skewes for $19 at: 2907 Hilltop Drive, Euless, TX 76039. There's a web page too, but I don't know the address either, Bernd?

    Well, that's all for now, thanks for listening! Comments, cliches, controversy, chatter, chit-chat, criticism to me at: jgiles@crl.com

    He is saying -- "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may" It is a line from a famous poem by a famous poet, but I can't quite remember who it is. In the context of ACOS, I think it's just supposed to mean that you should take advantage of things while you're still around.
