Organization: My friend Diana, the sweetest person in the entire world, just sent me from England (where she's vacationing) the 23 ENVELOPE POSTER SET and it contains 12x20 (approx) posters of the following bits of loveliness: Cocteau Twins Head Over Heels / Sunburst and Snowblind Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops Treasure Aikea-Guinea Tiny Dynamine / Echoes in a Shallow Bay Victorialand Colourbox Colourbox Modern English Someone's Calling Ricochet Days Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares Richenel l'Esclave Endormi This Mortal Coil 16 Days It'll End in Tears Xmal Deutschland Incubus Succubus II Xymox Clan of Xymox Yum yum. These aren't exact copies of the album covers, my guess is that they used to be the kind of posters that record stores get for new releases (not that any US record stores would get these kind of things...). Now the only question is whether I have enough wall space. @@@@@@@@@@ I, for one, thought "The Company of Wolves" was one of the very best fantasy films I'd ever seen, one of the only to address sexuality in a real way. As for "how many times can you retell Little Red Riding Hood", I figure that you can probably retell a myth an infinite number of times, after all it's a myth ain't it? And they did work with the *original* LRRH myth (oooh, I'm so cool now for acronyming!) instead of the cleaned-up version that passes for a fairy-tale these days. It transcended the shitty shopping-mall shoebox I saw it in. Of course I missed it when it came to the Nuart theater (but I was in Venice at the time so I don't mind so much :-> ) @@@@@@@@@@ Who or what the hell is "Princess Tinymeat" ?? I have seen two of his/her records in the last week, and they both have kind of, um, disturbing covers. Anyone familiar with this, uh, recording artist? And while I'm in a request sorta mood, a friend of a friend claims to have recently seen (at Tower Sunset) an XTC CD of a previously unknown album covered with unknown tracks. I sez, "????!!!!". --Peter Alfke alfke@csvax.caltech.edu "I'm a steelworker I kill what I eat big black thing crawling all over me"
