Okay, this may seem trivial - but I am BEGGING that it is a single slot case.
I CAN'T STAND those huge bulky 2 CD slot cases. My CD Tower can accomodate
these cases - but it makes me ignore my beautiful "ABC" organization scheme
that I guess just isn't cool :o)

Me too!! Me too! Alright, alright, woohoo, woohoo.......this makes me happy.
Compared to my fuckup when DT was HEADLINING in New York, and they ran out of
tickets..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......................
On to happier things. At least I'll see them at Jones.
Oh, and someone was talking about ytsejam shirts. I would really love to have
one. Does anyone know if there are any left at all? I remember when there
was a lot of posting about them, but I couldn't at the time b/c I was too
cautious and broke. Hell, I want one, so I can sport it to that fantastic
concert to which I am going come August.
If you have any info, please lemme know!! Thanks tons in advance,

Hi all,
this is from another list run by Greger R=F6nnqvist. I think this might
interest you all. I hope he doesn't mind this stuff being reproduced here.
Is=E5fall ber jag om urs=E4kt Greger! (=3D another swedish expression!)
Stefan E
2112 - Intro ARGENTINA
1997
BOLA LOMA
BOLA LOMA 001
Time: 36 Minutes
Juan Tambussi (guitar), Sergio Moscatelli (drums), Lucho Passeri
(bass and vocals) and Adri=E1n Katz (keyboards).
1-Centrales de Poder (3:35), 2-Souvenir (4:12), 3-451, 4-Desde el
Trapecio (5:50), 5-Dalo Vuelta, 6-Analog=EDas (3:46), 7-Payasos
Asesionos del Espacio Exterior (5:21), 8-Libre del Bien y el Mal
(6:53).
This is an Argentinean band influenced by RUSH, a little bit
heavier, with more keyboards, and vocals in Spanish. The music is
a mixture of RUSH, MEGADETH, and DREAM THEATER. This is really
good Argentinean progressive hard rock, filled with great
melodies, skilfully played riffs inspired by the mid-seventies
progressive/hard rock. The vocals are overall very good, but tend
to be a little bit thin on the higher notes.
"Intro" is their second release. Their first, "Alterando Las
Divisiones", was released in 1989.
Being a private production it is good but I would have wanted a
more crisp sound and production in the same style as Dream
Theater.
The best track are the instrumental "451". The only bad thing
about this song is that it is to short. It's a shame that
musicians of this calibre don't "show off" a little bit more.
At the moment the band is recording their third CD to be released
by September 98. I hope the tracks on that album will be a little
bit longer with more progressive tendencies, and a better
production.
But for now, this is an excellent album for every lover of Rush,
Dream Theater and prog-metal. One of the better progressive hard
rock bands around today.

This past spring, I took a course on Databases. We spent most of the
semester learning about the more mundane aspects of managing a
database, but towards the end of the semester we learned about this
new trend among businesses -- data mining.
Essentially, data mining is the process of extracting from a large
database of information that which is interesting or relevant to
whatever it is that you do. An example: Let's say you run a
supermarket. Everything is scanned at the cash register, so you know
what items are bought at the same time. If 90% of consumers that
bought corn chips also bought salsa, you would want to know that.
Data mining techniques figure all that shit out for you, so that you
can look at a printout and decide to put the salsa and the corn chips
in the same aisle, thereby increasing sales of both.
Now imagine that you're a manager at some big-time record store. If
85% of people that bought the latest Hanson album also bought the
latest Spice Girls album during the same visit to the store, you would
try to display the two albums near each other, wouldn't you?
Now let's say that while looking over the morning data reports,
something struck your eye: 60% of all Hanson purchases were
accompanied by a purchase of some band named Dream Theater. Who the
fuck is Dream Theater? Who cares?!? Display the album up front there
with those little androgynous brats. More money, more money, more
money. You don't care what people buy, as long as they buy a lot of
it during each visit.
So, here's my idea. The next time you go to the record store to buy a
DT album, buy some Spice Girls, or Hanson, or whatever's on top of the
Billboard chart that week. (It doesn't matter if you like it; just
keep reading.) Don't unwrap the bad cd. Go back to the store a
couple of days later and explain that you received the CD as a gag
gift, and you'd like to exchange it for something good. (You may want
to check first whether the store has such a policy.) As long as you
paid with cash, they can't trace the purchase back and pair it with
the DT purchase. Congratulations. You just fucked up a major
retailer's data collection efforts.
Now, if enough of us do this (and at big-time record chains), say, by
buying OIAL ("Oil"?) and the latest Notorious Puff Doggie Rip-off
Karaoke Thang, G, we could skew some serious amounts of data.
OK, enough out of me. I'm just an idea man. Someone organize this
mess. :)

THANK GOD....uuuhhh...thank MIKE!!!!
While this is morte than cool.......and the setlist is killer, i was
wondering:
why didnt DT drop at least PMU off this cd? I mean, PMU and Metropolis are
on the LatM live album, so why repeat them? I would have changed PMU for
New Millenium...or Mirror.....
Lets hope that they release a video of some of this songs.....and some
songs that didnt made it........

Do any of you 'jammers know (either personally, or via e-mail chatting
or whatever) Parffit Jim Balsanelli?
He's a fellow Ytsejammer from Brazil (or actually, former - he unsubbed
several months back due to time constraints).
Anyways, I normally talk (via e-mail) with him several times a week, and
I haven't heard from the guy since
May (very odd - he didn't mention being away, or getting rid of his
comp. or anything). I'm just really curious if he's off the 'Net, or
what the hell happened.
Thanks,

to about music, and everything else)

To the guy who was complaining about SX's "Castlevania"-type lyrics:
that Dungeons & Dragons shit is a damn sight better than anything
else to draw lyrics from IMO. I don't know what type of lyrics
you're into, but I just dislike pretty much all other lyrical sources
(like relationships shit, love/hate shit, introspective shit, "My
girlfiend dumped me and the bank's gonna take away my ranch" shit,
etc.). I guess there's people out there who can relate to that
stuff, though. Well, to each his own.
What the hell does SX need lyrics for, anyway? Their instrumental
sections are just fine.
