I've already seen Airhead, and now they're in the B-e's. Apparently, they're running midnight-noon, and then repeating the same lineup from noon-midnight (Eastern time, US). So, you do get two chances to see the video you want to see -- but sitting through the dregs they've pulled up gets rather tedious. Even I, up nights with a baby and nothing better on TV at 3 a.m., can hardly sit through some of these videos! I was disappointed though, I missed seeing Baby Got Back. If we were organized, we'd watch it in shifts and tape the A&H and Flat Earth videos as they come by. Does anybody know of a list of what songs exactly were made into videos? I'd hate to be watching for songs that have no videos to find... Let's see Sir Mix-A-Lot's derrierre, from hell! - -- Elaine Linstruth Palmdale, CA (USA) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 17:32:09 EST From: RThurF@aol.com Subject: Alloy: Beatnik in the news: Mixman Studio for Mac Available Mixman Studio for Mac Available Today; Grammy Nominated Group 'Smash Mouth' Perform Live Demo of Their Debut Mixman D-Plate at MacWorld SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2000--Mixman Technologies, a division of Beatnik Inc., today announced Mixman(R) Studio Mac, the first Mac version of the popular consumer DJ music remix software, is now available in retail stores nationwide.

Since the new year has been safely ushered in however, I now have to resolve to NOT write 1999 on letters and forms!! It's particularly hard, because I've been writing 19whatever for my entire life, as have almost all of us. That 2000 just isn't forthcoming. I also want to mention that my favorite fireworks over London on New year's Eve were the ones which burst into concentric circles (coool!!!) and the ones that exploded in the shape of a star outline - I loved them!
