wasn't TSW also called "her most personal work to date"?  doesn't she
ever do anything IMPERSONAL?  why do people say this kind of thing?  i
know it has nothing to do with kate, but it's just stupid.  i mean, of
COURSE my music is personal.  well, just a thought.

please god how about a laserdisc too?

on the one hand i'm glad that this limited edition thingie will exist
cos then i can happily sell my EtM and RBG singles to some rabid
collector for twice what i paid.  on the other hand, WHY does it have
to be in a digikrap?

>| o  Expect immediate action on all alternative fronts.

god i love the record industry.  btw, for anyone who still has a
glimmer of respect for these people, i recommend Fredric Dannen's
excellent tome "Hit Men."  i know it's a few years old now but it's
EXTREMELY interesting reading.  i couldn't put it down - i was
horrified yet fascinated.
