Hi fellow 'netters,
My name is Lucy Whitten and I recently started using a magazine
subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription
deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them.
They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country
on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they
more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for
most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles.
Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their
competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price
guarantee.
Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half
of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some
titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They
feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people
buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes
or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to
make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper
than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the
publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half
their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new
members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language.
Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and
cut-out all the middlemen.
They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.
Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student.
I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my
part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully
follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail.
They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are
less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other
times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet.
They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it.
They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I
haved moved from one country to another.
They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from
a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will
give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them
to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular
USA titles they sell.
They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have
clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a
charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie
subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to
be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change
when I moved from one country to another.
The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"
(even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase
automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts
as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls
you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes
he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he
insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I
sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future
orders (after your first order) via E-mail.
He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know
just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas,
he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he
still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long
distance rates are cheaper then.
He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing
members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had
a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they
could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately
when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new
members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased
their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above
form to them, that is the way to get started!
They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and

all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.
They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of
free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what
he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly,
no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and
answer all your questions.
Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.
Sincerely,
Lucy Whitten
ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net
who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join
and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for
each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25
referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas,
Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name
when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring
you.
Thank you.

I just saw Thought Industry in Orlando last night and it was incredible...
They played 3 new songs, most of their new album (Outer Space Is Just A
Martini Away), and some old classics from the first two albums...
If you have not checked into Thought Industry yet, do it!
They had a rare CD for sale at the show called Genius Hired Guns
(involving Brent and the new drummer)... It was only $5 and sounds a lot
like new TI. Check it out if you get to a show...

Subject: "The Mirror" -sound bites
Message-ID: <01BB19BA.46410BA0@ppp136.GlobalXS.nl>
On 22 March 1996 Chris Hebertson asked:
"Anyone know where the sound bites on "The Mirror" are from?"
I think the woman's voice ('everything you need is around you, the
only danger is inside you') is Mary Beth Hurt in a movie called
Lightsleeper. Here's something some info on it:
Light Sleeper (1992, 103 min.)
Rating: ***
Director: Paul Schrader
Cast: Willem Dafoe, Susan Sarandon, Dana Delany, David Clennon
Mary Beth Hurt, Victor Garber, Jane Adams, Paul Jabara,
David Spade
Review:
Quintessential Schrader Lonely Guy film, with Dafoe an aging
sadsack who wants more out of life than his dead-end job taxi-ing
cocaine to upscale users in N.Y. Well performed by all, and with
surprising dashes of loopy humor--though leading to an inevitable
bloodbath given the standard blueprint for most Schrader movies.
Quite the image-altering showcase for Delany.
Hope that was helpful,

My first gig with my new band, ORPHEUS, is tonight. I'm listening to a lot
of different music right now to get myself stoked and to have enough energy
to go on stage. So far the best albums have been DT's Awake, and Slayer's
Reign in Blood (liking Slayer is just a personal opinion, don't flame me).
Have any other jammers expirimented with this? I'd like to know what's best
to hear before taking the stage.
Later,

Being a progressive bassist, I have been experimenting with new
picking techniques. I have reason to believe that Geddy Lee and (unfairly
ignored) bass god Jonas Hellborg play with their thumbs and first few
fingers. Check out the bass lines to Rush's "Turn the Page" and "Force
Ten". While playing the melody on the G and D strings (the highest two, for
you drummers and guitar players), Geddy plays rhythms on the A string,
usually straight eighths, with his thumb. This technique is useful for
droning a note under a bass melody or for fast chordal plucking, an ignored
facet of bass playing, utilized by Jonas Hellborg. Check out his work on
"The Silent Life", available as an import from Sweden only. (For you New
Yorkers, I believe his music company, Day Eight Music, has its headquarters
there)
Back to the question, I played in my local youth orchestra with a
jazz soloist, a classical guitarist who is the guitar professor at Bowling
Green State University. In some of his faster passages, especially his
arrangement of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, he plucked the string with
his thumb. I have always been told that this method was known as
fingerstyle. Whether or not this is the case with John Myung's playing, I
would still be interested in hearing the plucking techniques used in
classical guitar.

Subject: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Message-ID: <199603250005.TAA05691@home.glasscity.net>
I was just recently at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland,
Ohio and I was shocked to find no references to Dream Theater, King Crimson,
Yes, or even Rush. The museum is terribly incomplete. How can one build a
shrine to rock music and not include the most envelope pushing, cutting
edge, and creative forms of rock, progressive.
Progressive rock was (I think) one of the most important things
keeping rock music alive for pop culture to copy. Progressive has been on
top of things for years, yet a monument to rock ignores it in favor of music
that has nothing to do with rock and roll. Call me naive, but music in the
twenties is not rock. While music in the twenties was important in shaping
rock, progressive has had a greater impact, especially because it is rock.
And if old jazz acts were important enough to rock to be in a
monument to rock, where are important jazz acts like Mahavishnu Orchestra,
Miles Davis, and Return To Forever? They've done a terrible job and their
efforts are all wet. (sorry, couldn't resist that one)

BTW, if you don't agree with me, I'd like to hear your opinions

play an instrument...The members of the Van Halen list did it and the

recorded we can send it to Dream Theater...
What do you think?

The term "classical fingerstyle" that you, Fewd, are talking about is
for GUITARISTS, not bassist. I believe that three fingers and a thumb is for
guitar, and three fingers, maybe four, for bass. Anyhow, Just thought I'd let
everyone know that I recently got about 10 free ACOS flats. Not bad, eh?
They'll look good with my Awake ones....I just need a poster now.....
