The "Elm" Mailer
In January of 1992 both Julie and Paul joined and sent a few messages to a mailing list all about Grunge music named GRUNGE-L run by "Rockin Jon". On the 8th of January Paul sent Julie this message:
Date: Wed, 8 Jan 92 13:04:43 CSTTo: jflucast@oa.stkate.eduSubject: Local Grungy peopleHey, are there any other people from Minnesota besides you and myselfon the wonderful grunge-l mailing list?I'm always interested in putting a face onto an e-mail address. I'llprobably be at the Babes in Toyland Show saturday, and the Local Bandshowcase on Monday.Interested?-- | Paul Lindner | lindner@boombox.micro.umn.edu | "You have to Spit | | Computer & Information Services | to See the Shine" -- | Gopher Dude | University of Minnesota | Babes in Toyland///// / / / /////// / / / / / / / / //// / / / / / / / /Note the snazzy signature with song lyrics coming from a random person on the internet. The world was a more trusting place then.

I may be going to thenew band showcase though. I'd be interested. Friday I have invites toUnrest and Farm Accident I've not seen either band so don't know what I'lldo yet. Any input on either band?Later. I tried to send this once before but we had a timeout while I was inthe process of writing the message, so who knows what you got if anything.******************************************************************************* Julie Lucast * Sometimes I swear I need a drink, sometimes ** College of St. Catherine * I swear to God I just don't stop to think. ** St. Paul, Minnesota * _Gear Daddies_ *******************************************************************************Paul responded with his take on Farm Accident. (Much of which is sadly out of print now) and a lament about no one being interested in going to shows.

They're pretty good. Many of their songshave thay folksy/country feel. They do a really neat sing-a-longcalled "Kill the Klansmen". They also have a song called simply "FarmAccident" which is also really good.I think they're a five piece, Standup bass, female vocalist,harmonicas..... They're quite talented musically.I saw them at the Cabooze about a month ago.As for Unrest, I haven't heard of or about them.BTW, for monday I've got discount passes ($1 as opposed to $5). Idon't really know anyone else who wants to go around here these partsAnd Julie's response (as indented text)
Date: Wed, 8 Jan 1992 19:23:37 -0600 (CST)From: JFLUCAST@OA.STKATE.EDUTo: lindner@boomboxSubject: thanks for the info[..trimmed farm accident converstaion...] Thanks for the info, they don't sound too bad. They're at the Cabooze again with, I believe, the Idlewilds opening.As for Unrest, I haven't heard of or about them. I don't know much about them either, my friend said they're pretty thrash-y.BTW, for monday I've got discount passes ($1 as opposed to $5). Idon't really know anyone else who wants to go around here these parts I don't think I have discount passes for this one, I did for the last two, if you don't have any other takers I'd certainly be interested. I spent so much money on shows in December that I can use any and all discounts available. Did you go to the benefit show for Dave Biljan last Friday? It was a great show but I'm still recovering from the amount of irish beer I consumed.Followed by an offer to meet:
Subject: Re: thanks for the infoDate: Thu, 9 Jan 92 17:32:34 CSTThe second pass is yours for the taking. I don't know how I'll spotyou out in a crowd though... We could probably meet someplace firstand then head out to 1st Ave.And in the interests of brevity a quoted response to a response and how to find each other in a crowd. Includes a list of bands that have faded away. The Blue Up? and Ana Voog were big for a while, and the Carpetbaggers had a good local go of it. The most successful was the one neither of them liked: Dumpster Juice.

For the new band showcase, if you want to meet up somewhere first how about. a bar downtown close-ish to 1st Ave. I think I'm going to be cabbing down. so that would be easiest. Any suggestions as to the bar? I don't come to. campus as a rule on Monday, but I'll stop by to read my mail.How about Gluecks? We can have some Buffalo Wings before we hit theshow.BTW heres a list of the bands that will be at the show:Nixon PupilsPeeling WheelieThe Blue Up?KlangMonster ZeroDumpster JuiceWillis Smoked a GuyLeafy Green ThinksCarpetbaggersJim.
