[the oil that festers on our shore <REWOICC%ERENJ@pucc.PRINCETON.EDU>]

in defense of my lyrics blunder on "the handsome cabin boy," i did
put a disclaimer in there (something about "what my ears hear"). i
just never bothered to check the lyric sheet cos what i heard made
sense to me (don't mind me - i'm just being defensive...).

anyways...i tend to doubt the KaTe's omission is due to either the
homosexual aspect of it or the bawdiness of the song - witness "ran
tan waltz" or "wow" as evidence that she does not shy away from this
material. i tend to think that it was a length consideration.

incidentially, the melody for "the handsome cabin boy" is perfect for
the gravedigger's song in _hamlet_. i'm no traditional music scholar,
but it seems to be a common beat and melody in the celtic lands.

regarding the dead can dance disc, i believe the release date is in
late october or early november on rykodisc. there will be two new tracks
on this compilation as well. so stay tuned. i suspect that these two
tracks will be the same as the upcoming 10" release entitled "bird" on
4ad. nothing confirmed yet though.

thanks to :>oug for reposting the love-hound alphabet - i've been
trying to piece that together for a year now...
