Hi everyone,
I've been around since about May of 1995 too, right around the time I.
Little did I know that obsession would continue THIS long <g>.
I bought a couple of silver discs from Mike Bahr and had absolutely no
problem with him or his service. Glad to see he's starting to redeem
himself in some fans' eyes.

I saw DT for the first time in November 1997, in Washington D.C. I met
up with a group of Ytsejammers who congregated in the basement of some
guy's house in Bethesda. Wish I had gotten there earlier so I could
have jammed with you all! It was outside that show at the Capitol
Ballroom, where the "Bafu" shout began. (We actually *were* looking for
Bafu Vai!)
The next time I went to see DT, I also was desparately looking for Bafu.
I was a college student without a car, and he was supposed to give me a
ride to the show in Baltimore. He was supposed to pick me up at a train
station in DC, but he accidentally told me to go to the wrong one! I
waited there for an hour, and finally decided he must not be coming. So
rather than do the responsible thing (go home) I took a commuter train
up to Baltimore, took a $40 taxi to this SHITHOLE bar in the boonies,
and saw a great DT show.
After the show, it was 1AM and I really had no idea how I was gonna get
home! Fortunately, I met up with Bafu and Kez and a couple other
jammers, and met the band for the first time. I got a free dinner out
of it from Kez :)

It has been fun going down memory lane. I think we should all try to post
here a little more often and try to keep life into this list. I've been
absent for a long time because for a while the 'jam had turned into a huge
whine-fest (LOL). This was actually the very first mailing list I was ever
on. I think the very first person I ever spoke via email on from here was
Tom Tubbiola. Tom, if you're still here, say hello!!!! I've been very
fortunate, most of the people I started yakking on here with I've kept in
touch with over the years :)
Ah the ytsejam, I think I'll try to dig out one of my boots that has that

I thought Hypocripsy and scar culture were booked on the upcoming Arch

I would dig a more lenghty review of the cd, I have always wondered about
those guys.
Speaking of Soilwork though, I got the new cd in the mail yesterday.
Amazing stuff. THose guys are really writing some great hooks.

May well be true -- I got my info from a Century Media press release, but
it was sent a couple weeks ago, so could be plans have changed since
then. Last I heard Soilwork wasn't touring the US until the fall, and then
with In Flames, and Arch Enemy, as far as I know, was only set to play the
two festivals this weekend (neither of which I am at, dammit). There
aren't dates on any of the bands' websites, so I really can't verify anything.

Check out http://www.entombed.net/ They've got a bunch of reviews posted
for the album, as well as several downloadable MP3s.

Duester bud! I knew you'd chime in sooner or later! :)
Sorry you missed the Philly show, but Tom and I had kinda
crummy seats (2nd & 3rd from the wall, row KK [11] or so).
The show was great; the sound wasn't so great where we were.

Did you mean D-Man as in (Chris?) Digital Man, or Elliott Kim?
Either/or, both were there, as I recall.
I sat at a table at the Fantazia with D-Man, Skadz, and ...
somebody else. Who were you??
I have a terrible secret to admit. I signed the ACOS petition.
Soon after, I got an email from an unfamiliar addy saying
something like "Thanks for being a fan, [signed] John".
I foolishly deleted it and never forwarded it here. John
who I don't know. Might have been a hoax but I doubt it.
Some seven years later, Thanks, Either-John, or whoever you were.

OK, you brought me out of my cave for a moment...
Been here since right after Awake came out or so. I don't remember exactly.
That was about five computers and seven or so mailfiles ago...
I miss the old #ytsejam channel. I wish I had transcripts of some of the
nonsense that went on there.
I've met a lot of people on this list, or that used to be on this list,
anyway. I still have that pic on my hard drive where we had a gathering at
our house before a DT show in SF. That was a fun day.
I ran a website for awhile that some of you might have visited occasionally.
It's still out there, but hasn't been updated in about two years. I still
think about updating it from time to time. We'll see.
I live in Baltimore now with my two cats. I'm divorced (not my idea or
really anything I did, but other than financially, probably a good thing for
me) and trying really hard to find a better job. I'll probably go to The
Flower Kings show at Jaxx next week, though will likely have to leave before
the show is over (stupid Thursday night shows) so I can get some sleep
before work the next day. I'll wear either a Spiral Architect shirt or some
sort of roller-coaster related shirt. Come yell at me if you like (I'm sure
someone will).
OK, back to my cave...

Subject: VH1 Classic is my new hero
Message-ID: <003101c1ddc2$04d757a0$7664db0c@mchsi.com>
So, I'm sitting in my living room reading the Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of
Rock (I'm such a nerd) with VH1 Classic on in the background. They'd just
finished up a set of 80s teen movie songs (you know, stuff by Orchestral
Manoevres in the Dark, Simply Red, Michael Sembello) and were starting into
the 5:00 hour (central time). It appeared to be a hard rock block, as they
started out with Motley Crue's "Wildside." Then, they played...
PULL ME UNDER.
Absolutely no shit. I marked out like a little bitch, I turned the TV up to
11, I ran and jumped around, sang along, and experienced that same initial
reaction I'd felt when I first saw them on Headbanger's Ball way back in the
way back days.
So, uh, anyway, I'm a big nerd as I mentioned before, and I tend to watch a
lot of VH1 Classic. I happen to know from experience that they repeat all
of their videos in 8-hour blocks. This means that you can see PMU played
again at approximately 1:05am CST tonight/tomorrow morning. Not that a
bunch of us don't have it on the Live in Tokyo video or something, but it's
so much BETTER seeing it played over live stream where you just know that
someone else is seeing it possibly for the first time.
And if you do catch the video, you'll be oh so excited to see a Faster
Pussycat video immediately afterwards... hahahaha.
But even if you don't get the channel, or you missed it due to this being in
a late digest or something, you can rest assured that someone out there in
VH1 land knows that OFB exists. And that makes me even happier than
watching the video again.

And I was "too cool" to show up because I was busy
drinking beer with Dr. Mosh before the show.
Dave Thomas, by the way, is fully responsible for

Okay, how about another de-lurking old timer? <g> I think I joined the list
around '94, though I did take a break at some point after way too much Michael
C. cr*p. Ytse and the Jam stuff, yes, I like remembering that, but not stuff
like misplaced religious dialogues! :P Anyway, speaking of blasts from the
past, when we were at the S.F. show last month, I was wearing the classic "Let
the Let Surround You" Ytsejam sweatshirt. We were waiting for the show to
start and I overheard some guy talking about my sweatshirt - it ended up he
was the one who designed and coordinated the whole thing at the time. He was
pleased to hear that, yes, after all of these years, it still glows in the
dark!

Holy crap -- I don't read my email for a few days and come back to
3 digests of 800+ lines?!? What year is this, 1995? It's very cool to see
all of the posts from new and old-timers... This has definitely been *the*
list for me -- it's a great community. While I came in around digest
64 back in the spring of 1993, I have to say that I'm annoyed to see others
claim even earlier digests! ;-) Do you expect to outlast me??
OK, to mark the occasion I got off my butt and placed the past 6
months worth of digests into the Ytsejam Digest Archive. You can find it
at http://www.interzone.com/Music/Ytsejam -- It's a searchable archive
so you can do all kinds of fun things, like find old Bafu posts. Or, find
out how many times "irregardless" has been used (it was first used on the
Ytsejam in 1997). 8^}
BTW, I'm still missing the digests from #1 - #319, 4264-4834, and
5053-5422 if any of you oldtimers happen to have them sitting around
(preferably in mailbox format).

Hey,
Speaking of "oldtimers" and stuff, isn't it hard to believe that
the Ytsejam precedes the explosion of the World Wide Web? It wasn't
really until around 1994 that the WWW really started to take off. Before
that we pointed people to ftp or archie sites (at best) but mostly we
traded tapes via USmail. The original Mosaic web browser was maybe a
year or two old when the first Ytsejam digest came out and AOL was just
moving onto Windows 3.11.
These days it's so much easier and faster to point people to new
music -- I love how the WWW and computers in general (anyone have a
DVD burner yet?) have revolutionized how we access our music (not to
mention Napster). We can log onto Bernd's web site in Germany and order
Superior's CD without thinking twice.
And the Ytsejam community has lived and evolved through it all.
What do you think is coming next?

I heard the new Rush single, "Victory", on the radio today.
Kudos to WDVE in Pittsburgh for playing it. :-) I have to say that
I liked it quite a bit. I'd heard the song via the web but it sounded
much better through a real stereo -- some great rhythms and decent vocals.
I think it will grow on me. Hopefully the rest of the CD will be as
good or better.
