<< 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. - Fred Church xxxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx http://www.thelocus.com/kumquat
