Well hey there Sinister.. Long time, no words from this brown corner of the galaxy, but then I'm sure you didn't need my inconsequential mutterings to brighten up your autumnal/springtime days. Oh no no, what with all the other lovely kids on here AND a spunky new album to look forward to, what more could one possibly want? I'm not sure if anybody has mentioned this already, but 'Step Into My Office, Baby' is free for downloading off Insound (www.insound.com). You know, I really did try not to download anything before the spunky new album comes out, but when it's free and there to download, I couldn't resist. Even now that Soulseek is working again, I'm still not going to download anything else. Why? I just think it'll spoil the surprise - listening to an album for the first time is like opening presents. If you know what's already inside it, where's the fun in that? I think it'll be well worth the wait. I love 'Step Into...", though - today I had it playing and I couldn't help dancing around to it, singing along after the third listen, and vowing to be at the record store super early to buy my copy when it comes out. Yay! As for all you lucky lucky Glaswegians, I am more than insanely jealous that you'll have the opportunity to see the super duper Aislers Set AND the even more stupendous Lucksmiths IN THE SAME SHOW! If envy could be conveyed via email, this'd probably be flaming more than the bombe alaska i saw on a cooking show before Father's Day. So go see them and, more than making yourselves happy, make me wish I was on the other side of the world once again. Uhmm well anyway, hope y'all well in Sinister land. Oh yes, two words: tape exchange. Talk to Tape Whiz kid Terry Underwear and join in on all the action - it's such fun! I received a nifty little CD from Nathan and I can't wait for more. - - alex _________________________________________________________________ E-mail just got a whole lot better. New ninemsn Premium.
