Looks like all you non-GB Love-Hounds will have to take a late
summer vacation over to England to pick up the new opus asap, and catch
all the TV and radio promotions that are likely to occur. Otherwise,
you will have to put up with all us smug Brits telling you how great
the album is every day :-) :-)

BTW, it has been over 90 degrees here lately so you can have a
Californian climate and listen to the new Kate.

I am not sure if this previous posting made it, so here it is again:

In fact the ravens at the Tower have had their wings clipped so they
cannot fly away! Perhaps that explains their bad temper! I think you
are right about the myth - though I always get confused with this and
the apes on Gibralter.


In case someone else hasn't already mentioned it, "This Woman's Work" 
will be on the new album.
