C. ABBREVATIONS

Here's a quick translation of some of the more popular abbreviations:

• SMFTA - "So Much for the Afterglow"
• FOM - "Father of Mine"
• IWBYANL - "I Will Buy You a New Life"
• WIDBIG - "Why I Don't Believe In God"
• WMIBS - "White Men in Black Suits"
• YMMFLAW - "You Make Me Feel Like a Whore"

If you are new to the internet, you should take a look at some common acronyms (like ROTFL, "Rolling On The Floor Laughing") that you'll see on mailing lists, chat rooms, and everywhere else.

D. INTERNET RESOURCES

D1. Do you know of any Everclear web pages?

There are far too many Everclear web pages to list here, but here are a few of the more official pages.

1 Capitol Records' Everclear Site
2 Nehalem - The First Everclear Web Site
• Final Update October 7, 1996.

D2. Are there any mailing lists?

At this point, there are two active Everclear mailing lists.

White Lightning was established by Brent Fusco in January of 1996. Since then, it has risen to more than 600 members worldwide. Now maintained by Chris Blackburn.

As of August of 1998, however, WL is no longer accepting new subscribers.

In November of 1998, Bretparago@aol.com started a new Everclear mailing list, called Downtime. To join Downtime, visit the Downtime Page at Onelist.com.

If you're new to the internet or to mailing-lists, you should go familiarize yourself with some general and/or mailing-list netiquette.

D3. Is there a newsgroup?

Yes! On April 17, 1998, alt.music.everclear was established.

However, a few ISP's don't carry alt.music.everclear. If yours doesn't, be sure to email your ISP's News Admin and ask them to add it.

If you can't get alt.music.everclear through your ISP, head to DejaNews.

D4. Is there an IRC Chat channel?

Try #everclear on the Undernet server (us.undernet.org).

D5. Are any of the band members on the internet somewhere?

Greg and Art both maintain email accounts. Greg can be reached at (EVERGUYS@aol.com). Art's email is (APALEX2@aol.com).
