Well, I just got my mailing from Intergalactic Garage. Here's what I'm
ordering from them: Nothing.
Not because of any politics, attitude, or any other excuse like that. It's
just that they don't have anything I want (at the moment). If I were just
starting out my music collection, it would be a Goldmine (put your own joke
here), but they didn't have the one thing that interests me at the moment:
the Never Forever Boxed Set (rumor has it that it includes a life-size blowup
doll of Kate). I want to keep getting mail from them - they have potential,
but they swung & missed this time 'round.
Still no word from C-Side.
Also, this debate about boots:
I don't dislike bootlegs not for any moral reason (I try to avoid having
morals unless I can make money from them), but because 80% of the boots out
there (not just Kate, but other artists, both ones I like & the Grateful
Dead) are Live in Concert bootlegs, and I don't even like most "Studio"
live albums, never mind ones that sound like they were recorded off of a
"My first Sony". As for bootlegs of "Rare Sessions" (such as the 8,000+
Beatles Abbey Road sessions), do I REALLY care if they have a version of
"Here Comes the Sun" with an extra two notes at the end? (Or, to put it
in Katian Terms, a version of "Experiment IV" with a so-overused-it-could-
be-a-Saturday-Night-Live-skit-voice-over? I think not.
Bootlegs I approve of: Ones of songs you can't get anywhere else, or at least
for a reasonable price (such as, say, they Cathy Demos). If I could buy an
official everyone-gets-the-royalties-they-deserve of Kate's B-Sides, I would
in a minute. But I can't, so recorded it from a friend who spent gobs of
cash on TWW boxed set. Hey, XTC has a couple of rarities & B's albums,
why can't Kate? (Outside the boxed set, I mean).
