Hello Alloyites, everywhere I think I was in at the beginning, having been a regular contributor in the FES Tap Room (I still have a full set of our Emeritus Professor interactive story archived away on this PC) and I remember getting the mail from Paul inviting me to join Alloy. Regrettably, a couple of mishaps and severla changes of address along the way mean that I only have mail going back as far as 1997, but that means I have most, if not all of the Dolby lyric parodies we did and a lot of the biographies posted around then .... like this one >Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 20:09:36 -0400 (EDT) >From: Keith Dawe >Subject: Alloy: Re: Bios >To: alloy@smoe.org >Sender: owner-alloy@smoe.org >Reply-To: alloy@smoe.org >X-To-Unsubscribe: Send mail to "alloy-request@smoe.org" >X-To-Unsubscribe: with "unsubscribe" as the body. > >Hi, everyone. > > Ah, it's that intro thing again... > > Real Name: Keith Dawe > Net Alias: Omega > Age: On the eve of 28 > Self-Employed as: Free-lance video editor--also have the pleasure of > owning my own video equipment to work at home! > Other musical interests: King Crimson, Mike Oldfield, David Bowie, > Dead Can Dance, Gary Numan, Yes, various prog rock and neo-prog, plus > lots of other records too numerous to categorize.

I may have had them perilously close to my eardrums for that set, as a matter of fact. I'm still convinced at least one of their songs *had* to be about Middle Earth. Any band that plays miserably interminable songs should only do so if singing about Mount Doom or Frodo or the Shire (either that, or it's the jazz fusion rebirth of Spinal Tap...) I mean, dear god, one of those Dramarama numbers had to have gone on for more than 10 minutes... > > > > John McJunkin wrote: > > On the other hand, and if you ask Melissa, > > you'll know that she offered me ear plugs at the Hollywood show, and > > I declined.
