It was downpouring when we got to the Phillies game last night, but we decided to keep on going. Maybe it was the thrill of baseball, maybe it was the lure of $1 hot dogs, maybe it was our own stupidity. In the end, my belly was full of processed meat and buns and the Phillies won in the bottom of the 9th, commonly attributed to my rally cap. It’s true. Lots of changes in the on-line store, weeded out some old releases and added a few new ones. Day 4 in the Little Engines excitement. :::scott::: Welcome to the LITTLE ENGINES Issue Three Electronic Reading Tour! ————– excerpts from Les Savy Fav: Cheerleaders for the Apocalypse, interview and story by Mike Daily Lifter Puller singer/guitarist Criag Finn, now lyricist for The Brokerdealer, sums up everything he has to say about Les Savy Fav in this anecdote: “We played with them in Detroit at this club called the Gold Dollar,” Craig says. “The first band, a local band, was playing to a pretty much empty room.

It’s day 3 for the Little Engines on-line tour. :::scott::: Welcome to the LITTLE ENGINES Issue Three Electronic Reading Tour! ————– Letters to a Grade School Teacher by Anonymous Students Dear Mrs xxxxxxxx, I wood like to make one thing cler.

Because I tell it to them, straight out. In a way I instruct them, but totally without guile, mind you. I say to them, I say, Sound it out now. I say, Listen to me. I say, Watch my mouth. See my lips? It’s easy. I say, Listen, a wise man once told me that no sound is sweeter to a man than the sweet sound of his own name.
