<<  Calling Big Kumquat - Big Kumquat come in ::: >>

What?  Huh?  Oh, hello.

>> You might like to know of the existence of KUMQUAT KIDS (did
you know you had any?) - they've recently released something
called "Forbidden Fruit" on Mosaic.  Two UK producers : Steve
O'Sullivan and Julian Phethean. <<

Hmmm, well, I guess I am OK with this.  I mean, I s'pose the world supports 
both a "Verve" and a "Verve Pipe."  (eek)

<< I also just saw a seven inch by a punk band called Kumquat at Open Mind
music in SF (a completely killer store...found the second Chain Reaction
for 3.95 after two minutes of searching). >>

(in Eric Cartman voice, eyes crinkling into x-shaped slits): "Goddammit!"

I guess it's inevitable....Kumquat is just too much of a fun and tempting 
name.  I should have gone for a non-existent and un-pronouncable name like 
"kumtechre" or "kumuanculpt."

Being that those other Kumquat guys are in a punk band, they could most 
likely take me in a rumble.  Let's just ignore them and hope they go away.

I seem to remember a web site where you could universally "register" a band 
name so that nobody else can use it.  Does anyone else know what I'm talking 
about?

I also seem to remember that they wanted a fee of like $100 for this service. 
 Seemed pretty suspect.
