I'm not exactly sure what happened, but after not posting for an entire week my list crush votes doubled. I'm not sure whether to be overjoyed or a tad insulted...ahhh, who am I kidding? We all know I talk rot, so I guess in that case less is more. Can anyone tell me if the new version of "Loneliness..." differs from the various demo versions they've done? It is a truly great song, and I guess the fact that they recorded that for the Tube would imply that its the first single as rumored. I hope Lord Anthony is still the B-side. All this talk about Stuart David distancing himself from the group is a bit disconcerting. I know they're not the Monkees and all, but it seems like he's growing a bit sick of the deal. He really loves to knock us doesn't he? First he calls one of our members "ignorant" awhile back (didn't he post that to the list), then he calls us all "freaky." What's up his crag? I also remember Sarah mentioning in one of the early updates that he liked to ruthlessly belittle the people who took time out of their lives to mail the band. I don't think he likes his fans too much. He seemed awfully jolly at the Looper show, but I guess B&S fans aren't his bag. Any DC/MD/VA listees who have nothing to do this Sat evening should all come out to the Antietam battlefield (in Sharpsburg, MD) at 6pm. This is the date of the annual "Battlefield Illumination" where over 23,000 candles are lit around the field to represent each casualty of the battle. I've never seen the Illumination, but I hear its quite nice, and the park itself is actually breathtaking in how well its been preserved. Its free and if you're a pansy who can't stand the cold, you can just take the driving tour and stay inside your warm, cozy car (and maybe listen to something nice at the same time). Mail me if you'd like to meet up somewhere in town. I heard Marie Elia's school had a day off because it was the first day of Hunting Season. I just have to laugh (with her of course)... I'm out like trout...
