triple A mentioned: knowing how "hip" RS considers themselves to be, they won't "discover" B&S until 2003 actually, RS reviewed IYFS last spring I think it was, much to my shock. they gave it a pretty decent review as well (can't remember exactly what it said but I could go look it up if anyone was that interested). for a brief moment upon seeing the review I thought "oh no, now the cat's out of the bag and EVERYONE will know how great b&s are and they won't be a best-kept secret anymore!" (yeah, selfish attitude I know, but it was just a reflex reaction.) anyway, it didn't seem to make too much difference in the US - I've STILL yet to hear them on the radio (I'll probably be all old and gray before that ever happens.) if any US listees are looking for a cheaper substitute for the imported (and rather pricey) NME or Select or whatever, try AP (Alternative Press) - it has a good album review section which may not always be current, but is fairly extensive. and to Vic who queried: Does anyone have a miraculous cure for the constant itching of insect bites? try using rubbing alcohol on the bites followed by an application of Calydril (I think Calomine lotion is the generic name). if that's not available, try mixing up a paste of meat tenderizer and water - "it draws out the bad stuff" is what my mom always said. both remedies are kinda messy, but they work. ttfn, pre-Dr. kim +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
