~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome everyone, to another great issue of ~*SILVERCHAIR FREAKS*~! Our official (sort of) number count as of now is .... 49 MEMBERS!! Woo Hoo!! Seriously, I really can't believe that so many people have joined this list in such little time. So please tell all your friends about this list:) Only two of you submitted concert reviews that I asked for, but I do have Christy's and Kate's reviews, from April tours, that they sent me a while ago. Is it alright if i use them? And what about ideas for new fetures of the list? Nobody has sent anything in on that. Well, now on with this issue.

Subject: i like rootbeer...

Hiya everyone!

Yeah, I know, the subject is pretty weird right? But what the hell, I'm drinking rootbeer right now, and I do like it:) Now, I better talk about silverchair eh? of course. Okie, well the song of the week for people who know it, is Punk Song #2.. well my feelings about that song are, that I relate to it. Especially the "Why are you any better then anyone else why are you so good?" part, because in my everyday life I know people personally who are just so like, sure that they are better then everyone else and wonderful and all this crap and they really want to be treated like they are the best person alive. Also I really relate to the "No one cares or understands" part, because that's how I feel, I truly don't think that people care about me really, and a lot more of the song I relate to also, like even though people try to hurt me and make me feel bad, I just don't let it get to me.. at least I try.. But since it's late, and I'm sopost to be up by 7am I can't go into it. If you REALLY wanna know what I think, line for line about it you can email me. But I highly doubt anyone wants to. A few more things though...

Daniel: You're right, they do have a few more singles left off of Freak Show, maybe they will do a single that everyone will agree, even them, that it should be a single. Who knows! Speaking of singles, does everyone agree that Freak was a good single? I personally think that it was, cause it showed off silverchair’s more heavier side, which they are getting more and more into right? And also, I was just thinking that since it is called Freak, people who didn't really know what the new album was called or whatever could have it easier and just think "Oh, Freak is on Freak Show, I need to get that" I dunno this is probably just some stupid late night thought.. *heh*

Amanda: About Undecided, I totally understand what you meant about how that song kinda relived the stress of your mom and you, or your parents and you having a fight. Same thing here, ‘cept I usually put on Leave Me Out. But I'm so thankful that I have music to get me through some really hard times, when I've been really upset, or depressed. I somehow feel like there is a song for every mood, or feeling that I am feeling, and then when I listen to it when I am feeling like that, or even after I can think "Hey, I'm not alone. I'm not the only one who feels this way"

Anyways I better go now,

Later,
Heidi

Subject: covers & singles & song meanings & how i love mxpx
From: headchick27@juno.com (Ben Wah Balls)

hi guys =)*

how is everyone today? ;) kelly had said "i don't want to pick a song for silverchair to cover cuz i think the band has to pick themselves cuz one reason i love silverchair so much is cuz there is passion in their music. if you can't relate to and you don't love a song you can't play it with passion."

it seemed to me that they had the most passion for their music when they played 'minor threat' the last 3 times i saw them ;) the songs off frogstomp & freakshow seemed kinda meaningless and staged... but it was still a good show. but i like covers and well, daniel's version of 'roadhouse blues' was hysterical ;)

okay, and heidi asked about punk song #2 and i'm actually going to write about a song meaning today ;) i love that freakin' song - and the punky sound to it ;) i think the lyrics mean that you shouldn't care what other people think and that no one is really any better than you are ;) it's a good life philosophy ;)

anyway, daniel said that frogstomp had 5 singles... can i ask what they were? because i only remember tomorrow, pure massacre, and israel's son being singles! although, i think they were considering releasing shade, that still doesn't make 5 ;) oh hey... and that anjela chick that likes mxpx - write me!

take care,
christy
