God yes, if I'd never heard of Kate before and I heard that maniacal
laugh, I'd sure want to go buy an entire album to see what's with
this woman. :-)

Of course, she's playing games with us you silly! It's not the first time
and it won't be the last. She's probably having a wonderful time with this.
Everybody remember the double-grooved TSW 12"? Poor IED does. She's
got a great sense of humor and she knows that we can't resist trying
to "explain" every little thing she does.

I heard a line like that in the movie "Comfort & Joy" (only it was
Sanity Clause), what a wonderful film! Anyway, I don't think you're
crazy. I think you're right. Actually, I think *everybody* is right!
The Laugh is just another addition to the very long list of things
Kate adds to her music to enable people to interpret whatever-it-is
in different ways. If Jon feels that the laugh is a perfect intro to
TF because of its girlish childhood memory sound (sorry jsd, I can't
remember what you said exactly or even if it was you who said it)
then fine, it belongs at the beginning of TF. If you or I think that
it's the perfect ending to L&A because, well, what other kind of reaction
could there be to that "Yeah!", well, then, it belongs at the end of L&A.
This is the perfect example of a no right or wrong answer situation.
This is *Kate* we're dealing with here, remember? The same one who
wrote "Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho"
Yeah yeah yeah!
She's so neat!
