Really-From: argon!ebh@rutgers.edu (Ed Horch) The interested reader is directed to a discussion over in rec.food.veg regarding what vegetarians feed their pets. The general consensus is that it's ok to feed a dog a vegetarian diet, but not a cat. The cat family is carnivorous; all cats *must* have meat in their diets. Sine that had nothing directly to do with Kate.... Why oh why oh why did she have to sign with the sleaziest quantity- before-quality record company in America??????? Did they offer her *that* good a deal? (Those of you who think that signing with CBS will necessarily mean better promotion of her music, remember how much good that did Wendy Carlos. She finally ended up signing with Larry Fast's Audion label.) -Ed

I only played it once to tape it and it already sounds like it has years of wear on it. I still haven't switched to CD media yet because most of the artists I listen to are on labels like Private Music which have near-Japanese quality pressings. I'm waiting for DAT to settle down, so I don't have to waste any money on over-priced Read Only CD's. Is it true that there is legislation to prevent the sale of imported records? Like the Japanese pressings I understand are on virgin vinyl? It seems like job one of the record companies is to preserve their profits, and the actual quality of albums (and many of the CDs I have listened to as well) is like job null. They had rather reduce the quality of all CDs legally purchased, than allow a consumer to make a high quality (I hardly think an ANALOG copy of a CD onto DAT is HIGH quality) copy of their poor merchandise. I guess the want to prevent competition from overseas as well. > >The interested reader is directed to a discussion over in rec.food.veg >regarding what vegetarians feed their pets.

Pull your >heads out of your asses and branch out a little! I mean, have any >of you actually slept with her? She can't be that good! Kate Bush is a decent singer. She is also a consummate artist. Any one of her songs contains more depth, meaning, and beauty than the trash you most likely listen to. Of course, it requirs a certain amount of intellect to appreciate her works. This explains why so many feeble-minded cretins -- including yourself, sirrah -- simply can't understand her music.
