They aren't gonna, 'cos the kudos of having a rare record which only 
*dedicated* fans can get hold of a recording of is much more valueable 
then any re-issue royalties (not necersarily money-wise either.) I 
don't think that it takes people a lot of effort to get hold of 
tigermilk, (thanks to andrew dean - mail him if you want onto his list) 
but I like the fact that I bothered and was rewarded.

Shit. I thought I was getting thin. And it is a bit dark. 

Disposable income isn't something to throw away, thats like saying that 
you might as well buy one 399p single in virgin as four 99p ones in an 
independant shop. (And virgin are just as much the corporate whore as 
new labour, so support students and vote indy - even if most students 
are too selfish/stupid to realise whats going on. I'm with Sarah if 
you couldn't tell. But she probably makes more sense.) If I want to buy 
an album I have to go without protein for weeks I'll have you know.

Oh yeah, and what is your problem with stupidity? Not only must I adore 
the Lovin' Spoonful, detest the nme and know everything ever about 
Northern Soul, I have to show signs of inteligence as well... Well 
there's only so far a guy will go for his art.

But back to my point; Katrina, why not release the ep video's? Maybe as 
a limited edition list thing, cos you know we all love you. Once you 
have enough material to fill a whole tape of course...

Also - how many Ink books has Stuart D sold? Is he now fabulously rich 
as well as stunningly handsom (girls all over the list prick up their 
ears:) and will Stuart M ever be releasing his stories about Belle and 
Sebastian (no, let me guess - they're all in his songs.)

Hee Hee! A message completely on topic - beat that rod. :}
(That's "completely" in the loosest possible sense of the word)

Love Adam
