I should make it clear now, that I can tend to become a bit absorbed
when I start talking about the Smiths,R.E.M., and Kate Bush.

To clear up the Smiths CD question; I currently own 'Strangeways, Here
We Come' and 'Louder than Bombs.'  However, I have SEEN, 'Smiths',
'Meat is Murder' and 'Queen is Dead' also on CD.  Unfortunately, this
doesn't mean that they are easily acquired.  But..."These things take
time."

(or to whom it may apply: Shoplifters of the World Unite)

In regard to Kate Bush's 'The Whole Story': I consider it a good
investment, even if you DO have all of her other CDs.  For one,
'Experiment IV' does not appear on any of her other CDs and the
recording of 'Wuthering Heights' has new vocals.  These are minor
points I suppose, unless you happen to be a BIG KB fan.  I also
recommend Kate Bush: The Whole Story Video.  Which also includes 'The
Big Sky'.

As for Peter Gabriel: "...if I only could make a deal with God,
                       and get him to swap our places..."

| As of November 18, 1987; the Smiths are no more.           |
|   ...and the pain was enough to make a shy, bald buddhist  |
|      reflect and plan a mass-murder....                    |

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud.  It all goes slow-mo.
I don't know why I'm crying.  Am I suspended in Gaffa?
