Hey kids!      I'm glad the tape tree has been at least mildly successful on
both continents.  I love getting stuff in the mail!      Someone else (Rich?)
thought up a movie-suggestion swap, which would involve finding a partner.  I
think this is a very good idea, but how do we match ourselves up?  A top five
list of favorites might work as a footer, so then Honey will still love us. 
(If anyone on this list fancies "Ed Wood", "The Jerk", "Say Anything", "The
Fisher King", and "Searching for Bobby Fischer", then you will be my new movie
partner.)  I always like looking at the DIDs (Desert Island Discs, for those
living on deserted islands who wouldn't know this already) in Tower Records'
Pulse! magazine.  If I see a top-10 list with 4 or more that match CDs in my
own collection, I will usually keep the other 6 bands in mind.  Does anyone
else do this?      Even better than the DIDs is Jackson Griffith, senior
editor of Pulse!  I met him a few times, and each time I asked him what his
must-haves were - so far, he's been dead on, so I always refer to his column
when I need something new that I will like.  (Just for reference, his last
picks for me (before they were hits) were Tortoise's "Millions Now Living..."
and Fountains of Wayne, and his last column that I read said, "Rufus
Wainwright is a star."      I think this partner thing could also be extended
into books and even recipes.  Not on the list, though - privately!  Janine
mentioned having a "special" diet, which I suspect is a vegan one, because she
made gazpacho for the list picnic, and i feel her pain.  Or, she could have
the same rare disease that Ben Watt of Everything But the Girl had (did anyone
read "Patient" - his fabulously detailed account of his hospital stay?).  I
think he said %75 of his diet consists of white bread.  mmm-mmm-good.      As
for my B&S content, to all those people who requested a certain unnamed LP to
be taped for them - they will all be finished by this weekend!  Richard, I
didn't forget you - you are first to leave the house.  And please let me go on
vacation before I tape any more - I am up to #12, and I'm paying for all of
the postage (overseas, too) and tapes myself, because I love this list so
much.  :) And to anyone who has a problem with that - I will sic Ellis on you.


Love, Miss Erin
