~*INTRO*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi everybody! Well, this might be the last week that I get this thing out on
time until August cause I'll be very busy this month. But don't you worry the
list will come out every week. Just maybe a little bit later. Now on with the list!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~*SILVERCHAIR NEWS*~
The Cemetery single has been released. If you live in Australia, Europe, New Zealand,
or Asia you can probably find it at your local record stores, and they music
video for it is playing over there. But us unlucky ones in North America can't
see the video yet, or get the single, unless it's at a Import shop, or through
mail order. In other news silverchair are currently touring Europe and then will
be off to do three dates at the end of Canada's Edge Fest. In the UK's magazine
called "Kerrang!" Daniel Johns was featured in the weekly section where they
interview people in bands about there record collection. It's in the June 7th issue.
But we just got it over here in the states. I have typed it all up and will be
attaching it to this week's list. If you can not receive attached files, let me
know and I will send you everything that I have attached on this list,
so you don't feel left out.

Hiya everyone!
Alright, as I was studying the Frogstomp booklet
the other night I started to wonder some things
1.Who are the older looking men in the pictures?
could they be there fathers? 2.In one of the pictures
there is a little boy standing next to Daniel, and
Daniel is pointing something out to him. I thought he
kinda looked like Daniel so could that possibly be
Heath Johns?
Then I was reading the FML and lately pretty much
everyone has had there say in what Daniel says at
the end of No Association, I always thought it was
"Waterfall I can't move at all" Cause well..Fall and
All rhyme but then I'd been hearing other peoples
ideas of what that was such as "Wanna Fuck" Instead of
"Waterfall" "I can't move line" "I can't lose line"
and a lotta other things also. I forced one of my
friends to listen to it and tell me what she thought
today and she thinks it's "What a fuck I can't move in"
The first time and then "Waterfall I can't move at all"
the next time around. Does anybody know why those lyrics
whatever they are weren't included in the lyrics that are
printed out in the booklet?
I was also thinking of maybe having an issue entirely
devoted to our silverchair concert reviews that we have
written. What do you guys think? I want feedback on this idea.
And if anybody ever has any ideas about new parts of my list,
or anything don't hesitate to email me about them alright?
thanks!
Now onto my thoughts on "Cemetrey" Well when I first heard the song,
it was a surprise to me that silverchair would ever have done something
so mellow sounding. But as I listened to it more and more it didn't sound
so mellow anymore, it's actually a majorly powerful song. And a song I once
again can relate to very well. As the first lines are sung Daniel has already
began to speak for me. See not so long ago I was criticized by one of my friends
for totally copying her, even though I didn't think I was really..but then I
realized that most of my life I had been trying to be someone else, and I never
truly let on to what I was really feeling. So from then on I began trying to change
from imitating people, and in the process I became more of a bitch and irritating
everyone who hated me for some stupid reason. And I grew into this deep depression
where I almost felt dead, so I might as well have been living in a cemetery. And
I just felt like I had nothing good to offer the world, no specialty. But in all
that horrible depression of mine (which I still have) All I wanted was a change in
my life, I wanted things to be better again. So that is why "Cemetery" Is one of
my very favorite silverchair songs, and I totally connect with it. Sorry if I wasn't
able to express my feelings well enough. But I tried my best.
Later,
Heidi

Hello all,
FINALLY I thought I'd post sumthin OK so well ..
Cemetery, I never used to have a faverite silverchair song untill I
listened to Cemetery proply an all an well, It's hard for me to explain
but I love this song cos it gives out the feeling of hopelessness that I
feel (youse all prolly think I'm weird but thats wat it means to me)
Well I can't explain it but I LOVE this song an well it helps me feel
not so alone (pretty pathetic hey...) so that's all I'm gonna say.
have fun, cos that's all that matters...

cemetery is my favorite song on freak show. it's the one that really
caught my attention most cuz i really relate to it. the line "i live in
a cemetery, full of good will and integrity" it what it is. i feel very
alone in this world becuz i think most people have no good will or
integrity. or the people that do shed it for something else. then
you've got these memories of when there was good will and integrity and
it's like walking in a grave yard and you're all alone. love, kelly

hiya peoples...
since heidi asked, here's what i think are the correct lyrics to
punk song #2
*
I live for yesterday
No one cares or understands
Don't feel pain, I'm made of steel
I can't answer you
If you ask me how I am 'cause I
I don't know just how I feel
I can feel any pain you give me
But I take it and throw it away
I'm a hypocrite
But that's okay 'cause I do like it
But I am careful with who I bur
I am free falling
With no parachute at all but
I don't have any concerns
I can feel any pain you give me
But I'll take it and throw it away
I will kneel to any king you give me
But I'll tell you what I'd say:
Why are you any better than anyone else?
Why are you so good?

i liked kelly's post about how silverchair aren't a 3 pack of sex toys ;)
that was funny cos i don't think some people realize that! anyway, does
anyone else agree that cemetery shouldn't be a single? i think it's one
of those songs that they'll get flamed for... whenever you read a
freakshow review, they talk about cemetery, right? so to make it a single
just puts in the position to be talked about by *everyone* not just
critics and i think it might get flamed...
but i realize that they don't really have control over their singles. i
thought freak was definitely the best single they've released and it
should have been first. i was strongly opposed to abuse me being a single
because it needs 2 guitarists live... until i found out that the BAND
didn't even want to release it as a single! when a record company can
tell you what to do, i guess you don't have any choice, but i still think
cemetery is a bad choice for a single...
take care,
christy

~*THE CLOSING*~
Well that's it! We're done with yet another issue of my stupid list.
It's kinda strange to me that this is the fist issue without any new memebers.
Huh, well if you know of anyone who might want to join just let them know to mail
me alright? And as I said before if you can't get attach files please let me know
cause I will send you the stuff in normal email that you've been missing, like the
trade list and the intervew with Daniel this issue.
Keep Moshin'!
Heidi
