Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATES / CORRECTIONS Godhead Silo cancelled their Fireside show on 4/26. Crown Royals cancelled at Empty Bottle. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS Mark me stupid for underestimating the popularity of Mission Of Burma. Last week's reference was to "Academy Fight Song". There were 24 correct guesses, plus 1 for "Fame and Fortune" by MoB, and 1 for Motorhead's "Ace Of Spades". Best entry: Mark Butler Boy, Andy, you quote one of the greatest punky-pop singles of all time and you think it's harder than Ace of Spades! Oy! Barring their music, the best thing about Mission of Burma was the fact that you get get infinite mileage out of the fact that Roger Miller played guitar. Many gullible young punks to this date are tricked to believe that it was actually the "King of the Road" guy gone new wave. A long standing tradition at the University of Kansas was to yell "Doo-wacka-doo" and "Dang Me" and "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd" at MOB or Miller shows. Well, we thought it was funny. Random winner: Michael Beatty. Winners, send me your US Mail address. A Shows List Dollar would go to Liz Clayton for pointing out that we went from "Ace Of Spades" last week, to Ace Of Hearts, the label that released "Academy Fight Song". I'd like to say it was intentional, but it wasn't. Liz is, of course, exempt from winning as she is a Shows List publisher emeritus. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- THIS WEEK Your taunting grows every week. "Boy, was that easy". I expect that no one who guessed last week will have any guesses on this one. It's an easy song, but not necessarily an easy line. Mail your entries in to shows@tezcat.com. Please put "Guess" and your guess in the subject. Remember that band name is part of the answer. CONTACT INFORMATION Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>.

Your job is to figure out what it is, and make an entry. * Entries must be mailed to <shows@tezcat.com>, and should contain the word "GUESS" at the beginning of the subject line. Your guess must include both title of the song, as well as artist/band. If it's a literary reference, it should contain the title of the work, as well as the author's name. * There are two ways you can win: Best Entry and Random Correctness. * Best Entry: The best entry to be submitted will win. It could be the funniest, or the most knowledgeable, or whatever. It's up to you. My decision will be entirely subjective. Your entry must still contain a guess, and I'll weight heavily in favor of those who get it right. If you win Best Entry, I'll reproduce your entry in next week's list, so don't put anything in there you don't want published. ("This is one of my favorite songs! I last heard it while cheating on my wife...") * Random Correctness: I will randomly select an entry from all those with correct answers. * Only one entry may be made per week. Deadline for entry is whenever I mail out the next week's list. * It is possible that no prize will be awarded for a category. If there are no correct answers, then the Random Correctness category will have no winner. If I don't think any entries should win Best Entry, then they won't. * The prize will always be a genuine Shows List Dollar, mailed by US Mail. It is the winner's responsibility to check the next week's list and claim the prize. If you don't claim it, I don't mail it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
