She allegedly has a new release, _Plague Mass_ coming out Real Soon Now.
Anyone know if she's planning any live dates for Dallas?  The large gay
population and number of AIDS cases here made her last performance (late
88) especially relevant.  Diamanda could strip the makeup off Kate at
100 meters distance, and I'll bet she does a mean donkey imitation, too. %)

Apologies for the overly-irritable post.  I wasn't aware that the book
was that different.  I should have covered my ass and just said that GOoMH
was based on _The Shining_. %)

Has anyone here heard Skinner box?  There's a short article in the last
Option that made me curious... sounds like potential gaffa material.  It's
only available by mail order, so I'd like to hear some comments before I
send my $.  If it's been discussed before, could someone email me some
info?  Thanx.
