*Your
Peeps bassLine 04' Your
Scene*
Hey there
Peeps & Happy New Year-yeah, I know! Don't ask me where I've been cuz' I couldn't tell ya. I've
been Illin'! My apt had hidden mold and paint fumes-what you can't see will possibly kill you! Four months of a
vertigo brain ache-what a long strange Barfarama au go-go trip it's been! So yeah, sorry for the bass delay, but
I've been farfar away. And while I was romancing the B word...
Sanitized For My Protection - hotmail deleted
my entire database for the new year so if you are wondering what the hell, or you are missing on this
list, it might be because you have been on the forwarding list. But you're not anymore. We wanna accommodate your needs
as best we can so drop me some e at kikixposer@yahoo.com On or off the bassLine list, it's your call and it's all good, baby:) Forward the bass to your friends;
piss 'em off, or meet 'em at the gig and spread the chaos. After all, we've only been hangin' around this
stale Hollywood town for 24 years. Does anyone remember how to Destroy LA? Does anyone remember how we used to have
fun? Does anyone remember the last time they had some? (fun that is, plus some!)
O.K, I'm freezing, bring on
the ice age! So who else missed taking a spring break? I just want to sleep half naked on
the shores of a hot sandy beach-somewhere- but NO-no go-stay in Hell-A! So it's time to have a life again.
So who to see and what to do, gowd how we long for those old school gigs.What to do... So what haven't you been doing all
year?
my spine
is the bassLine 4/14 - 4/20
-Attention-Attention-
Clearwater Channel Corporation is the
A n t I - C h r i s t of the airwaves! Gobbling
up LA radio stations in a pac-man feeding frenzy, they want to dictate what we will listen to and buy, total Clearwater World
Domination! Clearwater's stations reflect a mainstream (their opinion of) format; music categories not charting top CD
revenue are replaced with, what in their opinion, does. And what does leads to major airwave cloning; they all play
the same, only the call letters differ! LA radio- all those frequencies and no format variety on! That's what happened
to KDL-Indie 103.1. Here today, changed name and format tomorrow. Clearwater stations include kiis & kbig & star89.7.
Now you know what I mean. No sht, the Anti-Christ ownes more than 1,200 radio stations across the US, along with TV stations,
billboards and entertainment venues-yes, venues. In fact they are responsible for our inflated concert tickets, priced
according to sections. Eric Boehlert said it best:
"Radio's big bully; dirty tricks and crappy
programing-welcome to the world of Clear Channel, the biggest station owner in America." Scarrrryyyyy! Today's listener
has no clue where the music came from-OUR GENERATION BABY! We slammed the music, donned the bondage created by Vivian
Westwood, put our Doc's on the fashion map and like Sid, we did it our way! Danger Will Robinson- Clearwater,
JBenLo, and Paris want to rule the world-And You!

Kennedy himself, Biafra is on tour-He's political, and supporting this motto: "Educate,

Off stage she was a quiet little thing-our
