I am not stern@chem.nwu.edu (Charlotte Stern).  I didn't say:

hey mike - if you're on a unix system, try doing "setenv NAME Michael
Mendelsson" (csh) or "NAME=Michael Mendelsson;export NAME" (sh, ksh) before
running news.

anyway.  experiment four.  i'd like to say that i only like it because it
was the first kate single i bought after i became an active kate fan, but
that's total hogwash.  i like it because it's an amazing piece of music and
anybody who doesn't agree with me needs an ear/brain transplant.

it's definitely the last of the Really Great kate story-telling songs.  i
mean, yeah, there's deeper understanding, and rah rah for heads we're
dancing, but experiment iv has that magic X FACTOR that those other two are
lacking.  (deeper understanding is CLOSE but it loses points for those
astoundingly bad drum sounds.  they almost sink X4 too but X4 was apparently
prior to fairlight III blandosity completely set in.)
