Both of these fluids will evaporate without leaving a residue. Don't use nail polish remover! Make sure the electrical outlet is unplugged before you do this, just in case. (Oh yeah Karen, I took your advice and zapped myself four ways to Katemas.) I have also used lighter fluid to remove sales tags from 12" sleeves without lifting off the varnish. Unfortunately the glue from the sales tags sometimes stains the sleeve. You can't win. I complain regularly to stores that they shouldn't put price stickers directly on the sleeve and then expect to be able to charge $20.00 for the thing. What does that have to do with anything? Nothing! Just a useless diatribe against ignerent retail practices.

Hello, I'm generally just a lurker here, but I have an urgent need that I hope someone here can fulfill! The Disney Channel (US Cable) will be broadcasting an hour-long version of Annie Lennox's concert in NYC's Central Park last Fall. I, alas, do not subscribe to the Disney Channel. Could someone tape it onto VHS for me? The show is set to air this Sunday (4/14) at 9pm I believe. Please e-mail me directly if you can do this favor for me - we can work out some sort of compensation for your tape & effort! All e-mails will get a reply! Thank you!

Well, I've got sort of web page together: http://home.cray.com/~btd/kate-bush no pictures. Two reasons: 1. reduce bandwidth, ie you get it faster, and we don't flood the net 2. others have got far better image storages than me It's all done by album, demo, alphabetical, b-sides.

Walker" <jdwalker@post.cis.smu.edu> Date: Sat, 13 Apr 1996 00:03:00 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Wieland's Demo Dreams Last episode, Wieland posed an interesting point: Are these songs just foating around in the air? Are there Kate songs even Kate doesn't know? <Meta-physical mode on> I think so. I write myself, although not on Kate's level. The best songs come to me fully completed as if on a recording. All I do is reproduce the song I heard in my head. My reproductions are not always true to my initial vision (which I would guess is a frustration all songwriters experience). Sometimes I hear instruments that I don't know how to play, or sounds that I don't know how to make. If I try to jump start the process by forcing myself to write, the results are always unsatisfying. Anybody else have a similar experience? I believe, personally, that music is all around us, and that some people can tap into it and reproduce it for those others who can't. The visionary songwriters (like Kate) blaze the trails and open other people up to new possibilities. Others just copy. Where it comes from, I couldn't say, but it is a wonderful thing, is it not? Eric Johnson, who is a guitarist of amazing ability and emotion, mentions a similar experience to Wieland's in May's Guitar Player magazine: "I even hear songs in my sleep. Like, in a dream somebody'll go, 'Have you heard this song? It's a Beatles track that was never released.' I'll put it on, and it'll be great. It's a real statement on how profound the 90% of our consiousness that we're not aware of is. I'll wake up and go 'Wow! What a song! That's the best song I ever thought about,' but then I can't remember it." So yes, there are Kate songs in the air waiting to be discovered. Why, Tori's probably out in the desert somewhere RIGHT NOW trying to tap into the right channel..... ;-) <Meta-physical mode off> We now return you to your regularly scheduled Love Hounds mailing list.

Hi KateFans, Something has been bugging me for a while... does anyone else hear the extreme similarity between parts of 'Scares Me Silly' and 'Oh England My Leotard'. It would make more sense to rip off an unreleased song, but it would seem unlikely that they could have gotten hold of it way back then. Any thoughts? Brett. ------------------------------ From: figsk8tn@ix.netcom.com (Sklar Toy) Date: 13 Apr 1996 05:56:08 GMT Subject: Re: Canadian CDs Different than US versions?

I don't think there're any difference in any of the CDs with the exception of the cover sleeve for "The Kick Inside". The "Hounds of Love" cassette is supposed to have the Extended Version of "Running Up that Hill" on Side A, as did the UK cassette. Of course, the Mini-LP (songs from Never for Ever and The Dreaming) in Canada was released with 6 Tracks as opposed to the 5 on the US version. ------------------------------ From: lombaeg@mail.interpac.be (Emmy May Lombaerts) Date: Sat, 13 Apr 1996 08:05:33 GMT Subject: Re: Demo lyrics On 12 Apr 1996 21:29:43 -0700, btd@carina.cray.com (Bryan Dongray) wrote: >Hello Sami, > >> Does anyone have the lyrics to Organic Acid?

Sounds like a very good idea (except for the problem that the only person who could do anything about this is the one person known to be too busy.) A suggestion for a modified version.... A modified news server that only carries one group...the un-vetted feed to love-hounds. Anyone willing to be a part of the moderation group will have newsreading rights on the group...as long as they have been a subscriber to love-hounds for a reasonable period of time, to make sure spammers don't join just to allow spam. Any article that is read and accepted is forwarded to the rest of the group. Any article that is killed is put into a holding queue. If 4 succesive readers kill it, it goes into the bit-bucket. This would make sure that good stuff goes out quickly, and bad stuff is deleted. I'd hate to have a long delay on non-spam just to get rid of spam. >The group-moderation handles problems with undue censorship and moderators >taking vacation. Remember, although Stev0 is being really pissy, we owe a *lot* to Bill Wisner. The entire mailing list is passing through his personal machine, and he is hosting the new GaffaWeb site and devoting considerable resources to it. >Additionally, isn't there a way to determine whether an address is "real" >(finger?)? That could be a first step. If the address is SMTP-spoofed (as most spam is) the spoofed address will finger ok. I could send you e-mail from president@whitehouse.gov, and the finger would work. Also, this would exclude many decent people who post from behind company firewalls, and everyone unlucky enough to be on AOL. >The above system may not be technically feasible, given the list-processor >software used by "our humble pseudo-moderator". There are certainly details >that need to be addressed which are not mentioned above. Any comments? Something is feasible, either through NNTP, mailing to the moderators, a password protected approval web page or something else. Almost any active moderation will destroy spammers. Remember, virtually no spammers *target* love-hounds/rec.music.gaffa. It's just one more list. To date I haven't seen any of the spam use the one method that would get around the current system (no, I won't tell anyone what the weakness is.) ------------------------------ From: chrisw@miso.wwa.com (Chris Williams) Date: Sat, 13 Apr 96 08:22:02 GMT Subject: Re: Dreaming Plug >Laurie wrote: >>ps just figured out how to use a Dreaming Plug (tm)! whoa! i put my >>headphones on and just rolled about with laughter and wonder! i finally >>know what she's saying in There Goes A Tenner. then i listened to Never >>For Ever and then Boys For Pele and then Dar Williams' Mortal City and >>then Happy Rhodes and then.... >> it was fun! thanks to whomever suggested using headphones and not >>plugging them in all the way. > >This does NOT work for me.
