I Lived in Milwaukee in the early 80's- Einstein's Riceboys seemed to pop up around '81-'82, and I saw their name around town a lot on fliers and gig listings. But I never saw them and don't know a thing about them except I loved the name. I didn't have the radio on when you played them so I don't even know if I would recognize the song. Other newly formed Milwaukee bands around that time were Tense Experts, Oil Tasters (fave of mine), Boy Dirt Car, X-Cleavers. Also emerging were Couch Flambeau and Die Kreutzen.

Fun fact: "comprising" is actually correct. Sans the "of."

Hey EFD, as usual great show. But is the network 77 you're talking about? www.network77.com
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:59pm
efd:

aargh! I always get crossed up between "comprising" and "composed of!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:00pm
efd:

hey Tome! Thanks for the MKE info, mark! There was a great Oil Tasters reissue a while back that I'd forgotten about so thanks for the reminder!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:02pm
Bootsie:

I had always thought it was "comprised of," until recently.

I often refer to myself as a two-hit wonder, but that’s usually related to pot smoking.

Nothing wrong with being passionate about an artist like Al Stewart.

en attendant = only the t is silent. you may be confusing with 3rd person plural 'ils attendent' where ent is silent but hard d sound is pronounced... hope that helps, not too pedantic

Two versions of "Saturday Night," correct? UK and US versions have different vocals, IIRC.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:19pm

@Jake all is forgiven!
(actually I wasn't even upset in the first place!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:20pm
efd:

ooh, Mike, that sounds familiar now that you mention it
  11:25pm
steveL:

efd: My graphic adjustment is because I wiped it from the app (see Rammstein) and couldn't remember exactly how it was. Also, I've wanted to clarify this initial. For a long time.

Possibly overthinking, but hey.

Got to see Electric Six last year when they came down to S. Florida. Really fun show.
