   Since the album has been pushed back (Nov? Jan? Who knows? Who cares?)
   is this screening still on?

I don't know yet - I was planning on calling the theatre within the
next couple of days, hopefully I'll get a chance today.

   I'm very saddened to hear confirmation that Kate and Del have broken
   up. It would seem that some of the songs on TSW ("Between A Man and A
   Woman") are more autobiographical than we might have realized at the
   time. Maybe, anyway.

I just got a copy of the film "the Red Shoes" from the library, and
although I haven't had a chance to view it yet, the blurb on the back
reads in part, "The movie centers on the dilemma of a young ballerina
who's torn between the demands of career and love..."  I wonder if
Kate feels that this could be said about her as well...?  Mere idle
speculation on my part, probably not true.

   Leave it to IED to give us the "real" story behind the interview! Thanks!!

Yes, much thanks!

   we put forth the theory that the engineering problems that a lot of
   people are complaining about are not actually a fault of Del's engineering
   competency, but rather Sony's cut-rate, "who'll really care?" attitude
   and treatment. All I know is that 1) the album sounds great on our
   equipment, which is mid high-end, 2) Tim is nit-picky, knows what he's
   talking about, and would be the first to complain if TSW were "muddy" and
   3) it seems to be mainly Americans who are complaining about the sound,
   production and engineering of TSW. Americans who presumably are playing
   the Sony CD.

I noticed when listening to "Candle in the Wind" on the Sony ETM CD
single that it sounded much muddier and hissier (?) than I remembered
it sounding on the "Rocket Man" EMI CD single.  Granted, this is only
from memory, but it could be more fuel for the fire of Sony using
dupes of the masters.  I'll do an A/B at work today, while I should be
working... :-)
