Hopefully the record company will do something right this time with the album... Does anyone have any info on where to get tickets, where in London it is etc. I really feel like I need to be there.

Excuse my exhibition of my male hormones, but I would really like to know more about this girl in the Children Say video everyone's talking about so often. Who is she? What does she do in the video? What does she look like. Can anyone describe her for me? Maybe someone can do a screen capture of her on the video, and convert the image to a JPEG file for me please? I'm very curious about this matter. By the way, on the subject of video's, what is the first Video Single L42 ever made?

Sorry. BTW, I think everyone who goes to Mark's gig in September and attended the ILF should wear it. It would blow him away to know that we are all there in full force. Speaking of which, I think we should somehow let him know that a bunch of us are coming. I bet people could get better seats or backstage passes. I wish I could go, but I'm coming to England a few weeks later and can't get there that soon. Someone better bring a really good tape recorder - I smell a new bootleg CD in the works!

Justa quickie, A couple of years ago I got a job at the City Ground (Nottingham Forest) Playing a bass drum (and a fool) before the match and at half time. We would walk around the pitch banging the drums and playing brass instruments to try and get the crowds going. And guess who the best away fans were....West Ham !! I'm forever blowing bubbles and maybe it's because I'm a Londoner....etc. We actually got told off by the board for "spending too much time with the away fans!!"

It seems that there are TWO Jazz Cafes in Londinium! I just spoke to somebody at "Jazz Cafe" London NW1 who said that MK is NOT appearing and where did I hear it? I explained and she said "Oh we've had quite a few enquiries". I said I wasn't surprised! Seems like the place we want (and I couldn't get an answer at 4:00pm local time) is "The Jazz Cafe" London N16 on +44 (0)171 690 8600. Details to follow.

Here in Holland (I know, wrong place to look anyway) we have only the 'usual' CD's in the stores, you know the ones in the cover from Level Best, which my brother and I now all have and some of the newer singles. We've never come across a CD called 'As Years Go By' so anyone who has a spare copy (or more, Jonathan) please let us know... by reading the digest I get this feeling that something is missing from our collection (and I can't stand it!). Is there any quick place on the internet you guys can mention where there is a complete list of all released Level 42 CD/Vinyl's?By the way, my Bio will be appearing two or three digests from now... random enough I suppose. Today the amount of Bio's wasn't that high, so I guess it's pretty safe anyway. ------------------------------ Subject: New Gear From: lol @ slr.se Date: Fri, 26 Jun 1998 17:15:41 +0100 All slap-happy gearfreaks has something new to look forward to.

From: Matthew Blackmon Organization: The Lightcraft Studio Date: Fri, 26 Jun 1998 11:56:42 -0500 Yesterday, Cliff Baura observed. . . > Now, Matthew, you must be the only person in Lubbock, Texas (!!!!) > whose favouite food is an Indian eggplant dish. Well, I'm not the _only_ one I know in the immediate area who is an absolute fiend for Indian Cusine. In the circles I travel, you're odd-man out if you don't feel like going for a nice big plate of sag paneer or navrata korum (am I spelling this one correctly?) at the drop of a hat! Personally, I eat Indian food about four meals a week. (It's the easiest way to manage a Karma-free meal.) > Are there any Indians in Lubbock, Texas??? Actually, Lubbock is a major medical center for North America. We have one of the most advanced cancer treatment centers in the world, three major hospitals, and the only Level 1 trauma center between Albuquerque and Dallas. About half the doctors I know in town are Indian. Furthermore, Texas Tech has a sizable portion of its exchange students coming from India!

Here in boston there are a few pretty good places to get obscure or imported magazines, but I've never seen Bassist. Has anyone else here in the States? If not, instead a ton of us either contacting the magazine to send an issure over, or e-mailing someone overseas to send a copy, should we maybe pool money together through one person here and have them order or obtain x amount of copies and then distribute them here...or just have a free for all? Also, since so many of you think these little (or rather hardly little) biography thingies are nifty, how about someone archive them seperatly or create a web-page, or _something_ so that every few months huge amounts of bandwith aren't chewed up?
