I'm sorry.... I bought the box set today. But don't complain, I was missing 1 and a half EPs so it's a good 4 mi. I think 3...6...9 could soon become my favourite EP (overall). Every track is pure quality. Dog On Wheels sounds better on the Black Sessions i think (which is somewhat of a let-down). String Bean Jean has exactly the same chords and guitar lick as The Kids Aren't Alright by The Offspring, which really frightened me - I'm not saying The Kids... is bad, but you really dont expect things like that, do you? The set itself is pretty annoying - the three CDs fit with a millimetre to spare, so the cover is gonna get bashed very quickly. I was just wondering why Jeepster didnt want to release all four EPs in the set. I think it's probably because record shops dont seen to like more than 3CD sets but it's still annoying. They're probably planning to release another after two more EPs. Louis had a smashing email thingy. I didnt read all the content, i was following the story about the girl with the broken glasses too closely. It's the same for me most of the time :o) I hope (for your sake) there's a follow-up to that, Louis. Did anyone see that program last Sunday on BEEB2 at about Midnight? It was called Speak Like A Child. The thing that drew me to it was the song that they played throughout it - Nick Drake's Saturday Sun. It's good to see that people are starting to really recognise how good his music is for things like that. I thought i read somewhere that one of his songs was used on an advert once, but it was probably just my imagination (?). Anyway, Nature Boy has finished, so i was slightly unhappy. I think some Nick Drake would have fitted perfectly in that programme. I've been listening to all the music i bought over the holidays. The Frames are very good (in a kind of U2/Commercial way) so i've heard that a few times. Mega City Four sounded better than i thought they would. I was thinking of FSOL when i bought it (for some reason). Whistler has (obviously) gained a place on my main CD rack. As has Michael Head (THANKS KADJIE) and HMS Fable is on top of my CD player. All the others are next to my printer and i keep forgetting they're even there. Short and snappy, it's.....
