Really-From: tracyr@uunet.uu.net (jane smallberries) why is this newsgroup so quiet these days? and why doesn't ed suranyi post more? okay, seriously, i'm delighted to still have my little promo copy in my hot little hands, as people from work are now knocking on my door asking to borrow it (my fault, for recommending kate's latest on our company-wide newsgroup). i guess i'm a wimp, cuz i'm waiting for the tsw lyrics sheet before jumping into analysis discussions with jon d. and julian! however drukman, on the little i *can* discern from "rocket's tail", suicide doesn't occur to me. why would she want to go *up* or skyward? i associate this with soaring in a positive way, not spiraling *downward* towards a suicidal death. however, my speculation is premature, as i haven't figured out all the lyrics yet. we'll see. at any rate, i'm happy to have julian's transcribed side won to get started with (okay i'm lazy. so shoot me). so far "love and anger" is my fave. and i must agree with jon drukman (god, did i say that??) in that if someone hates you, that's far more flattering that someone feeling nothing for you at all. in the context of ex's, that is. don't worry jon--we aren't the clods you think. it's just nice to hear that you've been in love, and experienced those softer emotions of your female side. i'm still rigid in my opinion that HoL is the richest, strongest, deepest work so far. at least i'm not alone (thanks, jon p.). andy gough is ofcourse, off his rocker--TD is lots o' fun, but the *best*? come, now. by the way, speaking of john precedo, who inquired about a UK release bash, why don't *you* host one, jon? perhaps you could get some support from dan of unisoft, who as we know, saw the real ravens in the tower of london (hi dan!). that way perhaps newcomer patrik yle'n could hop over from sweden and find out what the requirements are for gaffa membership. way to go steve williams for planning the texas bash! i'm sure everyone in texas is rich enough to afford a plane ticket to the austin abode. steve, please post the number of the party when you have all the details so the west-coast contingent can give you a ring. you'll be able to talk to distinguished love-hounds such as corey lofdahl, edward suranyi, and that ied guy! jeff wasiliko, i noticed you're in the bay area--hope you can make it. remember when ied said we could expect a period of silence from him upon release of tsw (to give him a time of quiet reflection and contemplation)? is this still true, andy? you want to miss out on the most excited, insane, wonderful time of all on love-hounds? -tracy, uunet!sco!tracyr, tracyr@sco.com

Well - I still live at home with my parents (sigh :-( ) , and mummy and daddy wouldn't approve of a PARTY! And one room is just not BIG enough! I am trying to drum something up though - there's lots of e-mail going out. If anything comes of this, I'll post it. If not, well at least I tried... And if anybody is actually planning one already, don't hesitate to contact me! >...
