Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANDY RECOMMENDS Fri: Agent Orange at Fireside Sat: Fred Schneider at Metro, Poster Children at Empty Bottle I LOST SOME MAIL Due to a horrid experience involving POPmail, I lost a day's worth of mail on Wednesday. I know there were some subscription requests in there, but I don't know what. If you have friends who signed up for the List this week, but they didn't get it today, then they must have been one of the unlucky ones. Have them email me again. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS Last week's answer: "Cancer" by Poster Children. Five people got it. Best entry: Jim Doppke Ah, suddenly it's 1991 again, and I'm outside the Metro with my friend Jeff, who's getting a promo for our college radio station from Rose Marshack. He winds up gloating all the way back to South Bend about Rose having touched his chest; he had been wearing a Bitch Magnet t-shirt which she admired. Many a cry of "shut UP Jeff" was heard, but none heeded. Random winner: Greg Dunlap Winners, send me your US Mail address. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- THIS WEEK A recap of how this works: The top of the Shows List has a reference to a song lyric (although it won't always be). Identify the song and the band/artist. Win a Shows List Dollar. Complete rules at the end of the List. 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. Also, make sure your name is somewhere in the entry. CONTACT INFORMATION Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found out about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
