The soundtrack features the kind of rare and vintage R&B and current garage
music which would meet the exacting taste of "GIGI 12x5 's" characters: The
Zombies, Thee Milkshakes (Billy Childish), The Pretty Things, The Litter,
Babes in Toyland, Demolition Doll Rods, The Devil Dogs, plus Minneapolis
greats The Conquerors, The Bridge Club, Howlin' Andy Hound, and The Autumn
Leaves.

Explains Tretbar: "'GIGI 12x5' is about the kids at the record store who,
like me and my band mates over the years, live, sleep and breathe rock and
roll -- especially the throbbing, stomping, slashing variety of raw,
unpolished R&B churned out in the '60s and '70s underground -- and still
today in the world of Garage Rock, suddenly fashionable with the popularity
of bands like The White Stripes. These kids might spend a month's rent on
a rare 7" vinyl record, then give it for free to a drummer friend of a
touring band -- just because he loved it. Book-ended by "THE USUAL" and "SNOW," the "LO-FI" trilogy plays
like a history of "indie" cinema, moving from affection for French New Wave
and Italian Neo-Realism, to the bittersweet romanticism of the '90s, to the
color and playful design popularized by the internet boom. When a possible phishing site is
identified, AOL limits access to the site though the AOL client and
informs any member who attempts to visit it that it is suspected of
being a dangerous site. "As the world 's largest
Internet service provider, America Online is already a driving force
in the fight against online crimes.

generally done via mass e-mail attacks, those spam controls
also block many phishing attempts. Also, AOL recently
