Urr.  I'll have to find someone to tape the song for me -- or hope against
hope that it's released as a single -- because I'm not about to shell out
for a three CD set by "(unreproduceable glyph)" when I haven't cared for
his last several single ones, just to hear one song.  I can hardly believe
it, but someone's finally found a way to keep me from rushing out and
buying a new Kate song!

Should we assume that this song is an artifact of the same long-ago tape
exchange which produced "Why Should I Love You?"  Or do we have any reason
to suppose that Kate and "(unreproduceable glyph)" have resumed contact
since then?  Given what we know about their "difficult" collaboration I
would tend to assume the former, barring any definite word to the contrary.
