This is the note that MTV sent to me in my aol mail. Could it be true? Every other source (including the Viacom press release) says Season 4 of Daria starts on February 25. What joy & rapture it will be if we will finally get new Daria TWO WEEK EARLY! (Michelle & Paperpusher, can you confirm?)
Hang in there folks -- the drought may almost be over!
Chirping through the day (b/c the threat of sleet has shut down most of the city & ergo, I have the day off work),
hmm well MTV says that season 4 will start on Feb 11...but then again, MTV also says the 'daily dose' of Daria would return this week....and we didn't get that, now did we.
I'd say they will UNLESS something important comes up...like one of their teeny-bopper* performers does a special and how to apply makeup or something...
* I do not mean to apply that all teenagers or preteens enjoy the crap that MTV puts out which is aimed at them, however it IS aimed at your age group, so I call it that.

Perhaps even her "turning on her fans" or doing something "scandalous" won't make a difference in people associating it with "Horrible Tragedy". Remember Liz Taylor.

You and me both...although I always envisioned burning her alive. More painful, plus we can always convince her we're going to toast her skin to that "oh yeah, *that's* completely natural...yeah right" color she seems to have around a lot of the time.

You have to put a stake through her heart, then cut off her head, then *burn the remains!!!*
Else, she shall rise again.

britney is attractive. if you're going to sell attractiveness, you have to actually *be* attractive. the spice girls failed miserably on this, because they're skanky, so they had to make up some shit about "girl power" and aim for a different market.

This is why I do not dislike the Backstreet Boys (or other boy bands) any more, on principle. I would be a hypocrite if I did. I like Brittney Spears. I like her music, for precisely the reason Kyle like's her looks: it's bouncy. It's nothing more than the usual teen pop crap, but it's done well, and I like it. and I have to admit: she's cute, too. Her whole image is probably manufactured by an agent looking to make as much money as possible, but I like it. ('Corse, I haven't actually spent any *money* on it. ;)
I also like Will Smith. My God! What am I becoming?! ;p
ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Edgy" has become my LEAST favorite word, thankyouverymuch, and to hear it said all the time FOR REAL on some of these entertainment programs describing a new ad campaign or something else is annoying as hell, and gets worse with each subsequent mention. Oh yeah, and it's doubtful Quinn would like Will Smith...I mean, she'd probably say something like, "Isn't that that guy from that old TV show? Ewww, he needs to change his wardrobe there, too many neon colors and too loose clothing!! Now, that girl, the older sister or WHATEVER, she could style! Don't you think she'd look good on the cover of 'Waif'? Ooooh!! N'Sync!!!! They're on the radio!!!!! SHHHHHHH!!!!"
Why do I suddenly see bulging eyeballs and veins coming out of foreheads and the like? ;)
Uh...what? Me? Do...what? I don't think so. I don't think Quinn would appreciate Roxy Music...or Arcadia...or even my beloved Nick Rhodes...she'd probably take one look at Nick Rhodes and think he was weird (which is what 3/4 of the non-Duranies I know think of him).
she's trying to look 'classy' now, or something.. so people think that her being a slapper was just how she was told to act/look when she was in the spice girls, or something, and therefore she's not really a slut... however no slut is really like that once people stop encouraging her, so geri's no better than any other tart.
That's why I don't like her. I'm less interested in appearances than realities.

Getting even more OT.... but I vaguely remembered hearing of the winner of a Britney Spears look-alike contest who was subsequently discovered to be a transvestite. A quick check at google turned up:
i was forced to LISTEN to her in psychology today.... teacher didn't show, so someone went and borrowed a cd player.... lou had some cds.. "yay! lou's got a britney spears cd! let's listen to britney spears!" yuk.
Actually, that's kinda offensive to classic country artists like Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette, who could actually SING, and with all their clothes on to boot. Actually, the one thing that makes me NOT wanna strangle LeAnn Rimes is that she can actually sing. Otherwise I'd be as hot on her as I am on Slutney.
Excuse me for interrupting this fascinating discussion on 101 Uses for a Dead Brittany Spears, but the start of this thread timed out on my server with unseemly haste over the weekend, so ... which is it, Feb. 11 or Feb. 25?

Jane: You know, I don't know why people say we have a bad attitude.
I don't have a problem with. I'm not a fan of her music, but I don't hate it either (and I don't advocate doing some of the things in this thread, however, I do realize that those comments are hopefully made in jest)
We should all be mature enough not to react too harshly to someone that doesn't share an opinions. There is emough room for every viewpoint in this forum (even if only a few or one holds it).
So do I, but then again, I've always like many different varieties in music. My feelings:
1)Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera are ok, Spice Girls(minus Posh) what were their names?
2)All boy bands and their clones, and bands/performers like Kid Rock, Korn and Limp Bizkit should be shot.
3)Metallica and David Lee Roth Van Halen are the best,(though Eddie wasn't bad either, and who is Gary Cherone?)
4)Whoever said no one over 13 would like Britney Spears, should meet my cousin who is 14 and my co-worker who I believe is 16 or 17, but she(the co-worker) also likes the Backstreet Boys, don't know which one she likes more, shes only been working with us for about 2 months and we're in different departments, so I've hardly talked to her at all.
5)Divas, Whitney Houston, etc, Latin, no problem, Rap, hip-hop, no preference either way.
6)Country...AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The one sure way to torture me, that and Olsen Twin movies.
He who has now said his peace, and will also run from the angry villagers,
A.J. p.s. only 3 1/2 weeks from the start of the season, and no info on any eps, what's going on there?
My main problem with these pop bands is not merely their music (which isn't entirely scum, but is at best mediocre, IMO), is that they're so obviously milking their 15 minutes of fame to the core. Britney Spears *dolls*? Spice Girls *candy*? And what's the deal of offering Britney an *acting deal*? Is it just because of her boobs or what? Of course the worse part is the incessant hype and over-play of their songs. As for the songs themselves, I don't feel too much for love songs and the such anyway (which is mostly what they sing about). A bit too saccarine and cliched to me.
I think that the boy bands have a secret deal going on with Tiger Beat and all the other teen magazines: you hype us, we'll increase your sales. Not that there's anything wrong with it... :)
As for the rest, I don't like them either really (well except for a few of Korn's stuff), but it's mostly because of music taste.
I like Metallica too. I was so totally blown away by the S&M album. The call of Ktulu seriously had my head bobbing up and down like I was diving for apples. As for Van Halen, I don't know too much about their stuff so I can't say.
Ehh. A *lot* of people like her - all across the ages. She's cute, she sings well (supposedly), and she has those cute dance moves. Besides, she's every paedophile's dream.
Divas? Aretha Franklin's the only one that'd do for me. The rest are alright: not too great, not too shabby either (although I could kill Celine Dion with a spoon). Latin? If Ricky Martin is anything to go by, I'm afraid I have to pass. Rap and hip-hop make me switch channels faster than anything.
Now not all country is that bad. For some reason, I find Garth Brooks tolerable. And Shania Twain doesn't fit in the country category, IMO. She seems a bit more rock n roll to me.
Weird tastes? So far, Tori Amos and Suzanne Vega rock my boat, as well as Cake, Garbage, and a few 80s bands. But as with all things, music tastes change. I remember liking Roxette and Belinda Carlisle several years ago. I also collected several Nirvana and Aerosmith albums. And I *gasp*horror* even have a Kylie Minogue album that I bought when I was about 14. Heck, I may even grow to like pop music a few years from now.. we'll see :)

lol... i would have thought that a britney spears "doll" would be superfluous, when she's made of plastic herself.
attractive actresses are probably more succesful than actresses who just act... when your audience has an average iq of 60, they can't tell whether or not you can act.
i hate most love songs. they just bear no relation to reality, because NOBODY feels like that. love songs in general are completely one dimensional.. it takes no skill or effort to write something like that.
her breasts are too big for her to appeal to pedos, though.
Ooooh!!!! Can I quote you on that?? I *LOOOOVE* that quote. I wanna put it on here *and* on the Lizard King message board .sig I have (which is pretty big but nonetheless can stand an addition...especially an addition like that).
LI (extra happy...I'm listening to my Roxy Music CD!!!)
No, but they are oversaturating the market with all of them, only the one who survives a battle to he death should be the only one going,they should make a real life Celebrity Deathmatch for boy bands only.
Me too. That, No Leaf Clover, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Outlaw Torn were the highlights of it all for me, sometimes my head bobbed around so much I wondered if I'd get whiplash myself. Favorite album, the Black Album, song The Unforgiven, barely beatng the original Outlaw Torn off the album Load. To get slightly on topic, as Daria's former science experiment a.k.a. Beavis would say: Metallica Rules!
I liked her. I heard her music on the radio and liked it well before I'd seen any of her videos. The look helps, yes but as I said I liked her music before I saw her. (although I could kill
You and me both there, she's an exception out of that group, I've still got that Titanic song in my head, someone help me on that? Please?

You're right there, she doesn't fall into country specifically, you can hear some of it in the music, but it is mostly rock ' roll, but on Garth Brooks, I'd use that same spoon we used on Celine Dion, and I wouldn't even wash it off first. Same with most country performers.
Dear God, man, what color is the sky in your world? The Limp "Faith" is the most Gawdawful unlistenable noise ever infiltrated onto mainstream radio. George Michael had his own grave dug after they played that song just so he could spin in it.
That would be "Rearranged" -- if you're me. If you're you, it would probably be "Nookie," which isn't completely intolerable but is too much like their "Faith" for me ever to go wild over it. I might someday buy "Significant Other." I will *never* but "Three Dollar Bill Y'All" because it would mean having that violent demolition of "Faith" in the house. The hyping of that single by TRL (getting close to topic) was an experiment by MTV management to see how hideous a piece of music has to be before the teens of America will not listen to it. That's the only explanation that lets me continue to believe in God (though if I don't accept it, I can believe in Her spiteful and vindictive ex-husband Jehovah).

Of course, I never was a big George Michaels fan and Limpy might not have been going for humor value...
No, Nookie was (IMO) completely intolerable. Rearranged was the one I was thinking of. I didn't catch the similarity to Faith, though. May have to listen to it again before I pronounce it as good.
yes she does, lol. she's awful. i've heard from someone who's met her, that she's actually quite intelligent, but just acts stupid, which i think is deplorable.
well that's a matter of opinion and stuff. they are on about the same level as most pop shite though; they're trying to sell a certain 'style' instead of decent songs. i can't stand most of those bands... although the deftones are perhaps similar, and i like some of their songs.
LOL...okay, now that we're exposing our musical likes/dislikes...(this is a subject which I've always been passionate about)
1. If you wanna REALLY make me smile, you'll play something from the glam rock era from the early - mid '70s, the New Romantic period from the late '70s - early '80s, *good* New Wave, almost anything from the '80s, anything DD, Japan (or David Sylvian), U2, R.E.M., or the Rolling Stones released, and anything Motown up until about '90 or so.
2. First ever favorite artist...the Kinks. Second ever favorite artist...tie between the Beatles and the Doors. Third ever favorite artist...tie between the Supremes, the Temptations, and the Rolling Stones. Fourth ever favorite artist...the Mamas and the Papas. Then I moved onto Tom Petty. I'm extremely nostalgic and still like these artists.
I also like funk and *good* disco, but bad disco can be just as bad as indigestion.
4. When push comes to shove, I'd rather shove myself off the edge of a cliff than listen to what they play at wedding receptions here (i.e. mariachi music...blech, I spent two years playing in a mariachi band, PLEASE let me relax from that, Tejano, and bad country).
I think you know the rest. :)

Well, from what I've been able to discern, it appears that the MTV email was a bit on the wrong-ish side. The new Daria website rolls out on 2/11/00, but according to my usual sources of information, the season 4 premiere won't happen till the 25th of Feb.
That said, of course, it could all change at the drop of a hat. (Hey, this IS MTV we're talkin' about here.) If I hear ANYTHING different, I'll make sure y'all know ASAP.
For those of you wondering about the Daily Dose, it has returned on Mon, Wed, Thu, and sometimes Fri at 3PM. Right now, it's all season 3 reruns. Details on the site.
Oh, and yes, I finally updated my site late last night. What with a nasty bout of flu, finishing up grad school applications, and 5 winter storms in the last 2 weeks, I've been unable to do much with the site. (Or participate here, for that matter.)
HTH, rich.
Quinn: People are so weird!
Daria: Some are weird. Some are just astonishingly self-centered and deceitful.
Does any one know if theres going to be another marathon to start this season off? Also if theres any info on what the new eps will be like and if will see more of whats his name.Post it.

Non info on eps available yet. So far, it doesn't look like there'll be a Daria Day marathon, either. I've been keeping a schedule of episode airings for the past year and change. The url's in my sig. It's also linked to right from the front page of Outpost Daria, at www.lawndale.net

It's February 25th, Cricket... now, take a deep, cleansing breath. ;-) The website debuts on the 11th. MTV hasn't even scheduled an ep for the 11th.
Actually, there is some very good news-- MTV will be airing "Behind the Scenes at Daria" on 2/14 at 5:30PM EST. It'll be aired a number of times-- I've put all of the airdates on the schedule page at my site. I guess this is in lieu of a Daria Day. Hell, I'll take it-- this way, we can fill in all of those little answers to our many unanswered questions. Yay!
(Naturally, it's all subject to change without notice.)
They've already started showing clips from the special in place of the usual show intro, bumpers, and closing credits. Funny thing-- the announcer talked all over the closing credits, while one of the interviews from the special was running-- it was the mysterious "Echo," too! Damn! Of course, her identity was hidden-- she must be Union. They also ran a clip of an interview with Janie Mertz-- she does both Brittany's and Sandi's voices, and ya know, I never did notice that. Cool. (Yes, Martin, I know-- Lisa Collins was first. <g>)
There was something else weird-- they interviewed someone named "Hannah" as the voice of Jane, Quinn, and Helen. Maybe she's using a pseudonym, but I could've sworn that Wendy Hoopes did those voices. What's up with that? Then again, Wendy's probably Union, too. (But if the voices for Quinn, Jane, and Helen mysteriously change, well... let's not even think about that after the new voice for Mack showed up in season 3... *Shudder*)
No, Cricket-- believe me, I don't think they'll let that sort of embarassment happen again. <educated guess> In fact, the international viewers will probably have to wait even longer, like they did after the problem was discovered... </educated guess>
Oh, I took the GRE in November, but I had to take a special entry exam for the Columbia School of Journalism. Apparently they don't think the GRE is a good predictor of journalistic success. I think they may be on to something, there. They actually asked me questions regarding current events, editing, and writing. Scary-- an admissions test that actually tests something related to the proposed course of study. What's next, dogs and cats sleeping together? ;-)
Plans are for a Masters in Journalism, either at (in order of pref) Columbia, Berkeley, or (tie) UNC or UT-Austin. With the last two, it all depends on the $$. But if I get in at Columbia, I'm gone like a shot to Noo Yawk. ;-) (It's a one-year program, and the program is tops for print journalism.)
Heh... I just got back from a full day of CLE... and I've got more tomorrow morning. :P I hate CLE I hate CLE I hate CLE....
