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). - Stev0 the frugal ________________________________________ ___I_`.*.'_B_ __________"I just know Steve Berlin . K + * .o o.* `.`O +. |that some- stev0@sti.com ' * .
