From: "Videoranch Foreman"
Hi there,
As you all know by now, the Timerider soundtrack is being released for the first time ever! We should receive the cd's by Monday, August 7th. This means that you have until Sunday night to take advantage of our pre-order special. You won't want to miss this chance to get the Timerider Soundtrack on CD for only $9.95 (plus shipping and handling of course). Just go to http://www.videoranch.com/gshop/index.html?t=frproduct&c=1
to place your order. On Monday the 7th the price will go up to $11.95. For those of you who have already pre-ordered you should look for your new CD in the mail starting Wednesday.
The Repo Man DVD is also close to being ready. Only a few weeks away. We will have a limited amount of the Special Edition. This will include the Repo Man DVD, soundtrack on CD, and the whole thing comes in a numbered container made out of a California license plate. A cool collectors item for $49.99, first come, first serve. We will also have plenty of the regular DVD of Repo Man at $24.99 available.
There is a chance Nez will be stopping by VR3D on August 15th, late morning or early afternoon, so you may want to stop by. He will be doing a dry run for a longer KPIG interview which should take place in late September. If you are on a pc and haven't yet downloaded VR3D just go to www.videoranch.com/html/vr3dbrowser.html and download the browser there.

Hi,
It was reported here that Micky will appear on episodes of Pacific Blue titled, "Reckoning" and "Naked Truth"? But to my understanding Micky has NOT appeared in those episodes, which I believe are repeats. He *did*, however, appear in "Pilot" (aka "Pacific Blue") and "No Man's Land" of Pacific Blue [however,
they won't be re-runed until September IF USA will still be showing Pacific Blue].
The mention on TV Guide online is a goof, sorry; Micky is erroneously reported on tvguide.com as to be in the cast for the re-runs of "Pacific Blue" on the weekend of the 18th of August. My references are pacificblue.com AND www.hooloovoo.com/micky/film.html

Micky Dolenz is in the Naked Truth, I believe. I love Pacific Blue, and if
i'm not mistaken, the naked truth is the episode about Nudists trying to get
a law passed by the Mayor (Micky) to let the Nude beaches be allowed, and
i've taped it before and Micky appears in several places...

Sorry for the tagging, Brad, but Micky's *not* on the re-run of Pacific Blue's "Naked Truth"
(about a cop who discovers sorority girls being forced to go naked at a strip club
in order to be initiated); Micky *is* in "No Man's Land" (partially about nudists
wanting to make The Cove a legally nude beach whilst there are those who are blatantly
against the idea; Mayor Micky Dolenz is unsure about the whole issue). I again wish to point
the browsers to www.pacificblue.com: www.pacificblue2.com/synopsis/season1/104.html

Hi there,
Neffie here, with a bit of news from Videoranch! Just wanted to let you know about a few new things we have available.
New Repo Man: It's finally here! The Repo Man Special Edition DVDs and VHS'. We are very excited about this new release of Repo Man. It's been digitally remastered and it sounds great. The Limited Edition DVD set comes with the soundtrack on CD, and a little booklet of a Repo Man comic strip. The DVD will play in both widescreen and formatted for television. The set comes inside a tin that looks like a California license plate. Each tin is numbered and we have some of the low ones so be sure and buy one before they run out. They will not be made again. They're $49.95. click here to order: http://www.videoranch.com/gshop/index.html?t=frtopindex&c=2&p=6
You can also get the regular VHS tape for $9.95, or the widescreen edition on VHS for $14.95. Both VHS versions come in NTSC format only. The regular Repo Man DVD is $24.95 and we should have them in any day now. The DVD's have region 1 encoding (US and Canada only).
KPIG Pick of the Week: You've probably heard about our affiliation with KPIG (www.KPIG.com), Nez' favorite radio station. We think the PIG DJs have great taste in music (they do play Nez tunes all the time) so we asked them to pick out some new music for us to pass on to you. KPIG Pick of the Week. They're mighty selective, so we're not going to have a new pick every week. Just the weeks when KPIG finds music they love. Like Todd Snider's new CD "Happy to be Here", this week's pick. We really like it, and think you will too. It is $14.95, plus shipping. You can listen to a couple of mp3 samples and purchase is by clicking here http://www.videoranch.com/gshop/index.html?t=frtoddsniderindex&c=1&p=113
Nez in Videoranch 3D: Nez had a good time hanging out in Videoranch 3D last week with those of you who were in there at the same time. He'll be back in soon.
Videoranch Toll Free Number: Our new number is (866) PAPANEZ. Hate acronyms? (866) 727-2639.

I just e-mailed a contact person at Moraine Valley Community College to
inquire about the performance by Davy Jones on Jan. 27, 2001 as stated
in the Monkeesalert yesterday.
Pollstar.com states Davy is scheduled to perform on 1/27/01 but I was
just informed that no concert is scheduled!
This is the reply I received.
I'm sorry the information that David Jones will be performing at Moraine
Valley Community College is not correct. Look it up again, and see if
it is not somewhere else, at times we are confused with other area businesses.
Our address is 10900 S. 88th Avenue, Palos Hills, IL.
I called our box office at (708) 974-5500 to verify if there was an
entertainer by that name performing on January 27, 2001, and they have
nothing. If you wish, you could check in early December, but so far we
have nothing on David Jones.
Thank you,
Rosario

VH1's acclaimed documentary series Behind The Music is to air the premiere
of 'Behind The Music: The Monkees' on VH1 UK on the 22nd October 2000 - a
must see for any die-hard Monkees fan!
behind the music:
the monkees - 22 oct 2200
The first boy band to be 'invented' or inspired as their creators preferred
to describe them, was The Monkees. Mickey Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter
Tork and Davy Jones all answered an advertisement in the Daily Variety and
on 12 September 1966. Soon after the first episode of The Monkees was aired
by NBC in the States and, despite low initial ratings, the show quickly
became hugely popular, a feat mirrored when it was launched in the UK.
Their singles Last Train To Clarksville and I'm A Believer both scored
number one smashes on both sides of the Atlantic. A million selling album
followed and The Monkees were confirmed as the latest teenage phenomenon.
But trouble was on the horizon as The Monkees were subjected to Beatles
comparisons and worse, it was revealed that they didn't write or perform the
songs! Michael Nesmith in particular took this badly - he was an
accomplished musician and was frustrated that he was not allowed to play or
write their tracks. Instead the winning team of Neil Diamond, Carole King
and Jeff Barry were firmly ensconced!
The follow-up album More of The Monkees sold in excess of five million which
only exacerbated tension, but the band won reserved approval from their
bosses to complete several tracks under their own devices. Davy Jones was
coaxed to sing on the already-completed backing track to A Little Bit Me, A
Little Bit You which was issued, without the band's approval, as their third
single. The ensuing altercation saw the band's creator Don Kirshner
ousted, with the quartet gaining complete artistic freedom. Although not
issued as a single in the USA, Alternate Title, Mickey's ambitious tribute
to London, reached number two in Britain, while two further 1967 singles,
Pleasant Valley Sunday and Daydream Believer, achieved gold record status.
Headquarters, the first Monkees album on which the band played, was a
commercial and artistic success, consisting largely of self-penned material.
However this proved to be a creative drain on the band which was no more
apparent than the disappointing The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees and its
accompanying single, Valleri. The track itself had been recorded in 1966,
and was only issued when pirate recordings, dubbed off-air from the
television series, attracted considerable airplay. 'The Monkees are dead!'
declared an enraged Nesmith, yet the song sold over a million copies, the
band's last such success.
In cahoots with Jack Nicholson, the sixties icons produced the out-there
psychedelic film, Head in 1968. It proved to be way above the understanding
of their teenage followers. A dispirited Peter Tork left following its
release. The remaining trio continued without him but their commercial
decline proved as spectacular as its ascendancy. It was a rag to riches to
rags story all within four years.
This Behind The Music explains how four hired hands actually learned how to
play by the rules, then fought for creative control in a high-stakes musical
mutiny and won. Along the way, they sold millions of records, became teen
idols, and ultimately learned to act like the international superstars they
had become. Insta-hipness didn't last long, though, and a comeback attempt
several decades into the game closed the book once and for all. Here
Behind the Music tracks down the original players and discovers the story
behind the headlines that made The Monkees.

Tonight, the VH1 show "20 to 1" is counting down the top 20 Teen Idols. I
don't know if the Monkees are DEFINITELY going to be on the list, but I think
it is relatively safe to assume they are since they were pretty big teen
idols. The show is an hour long and is on VH1 at 9pm central time.
