| -Loz > I think is the single person who had the > biggest most positive influence on my life outside > my immediates - I'll say Phillip Gould. Hmmm. I do have to say that this is possibly the most bizarre thing I've ever read. Why not choose someone that actually continues to work? (and, if memory serves, you aren't even a musician/song-writer, no?) Although I do have a great deal of envy for someone that works for 10 or 15 years and then does near-nothing. Don't get me wrong, I dig Phil; but "genius"? da Vinci, Einstein, Feynman, JS Bach, Faulkner, Phil Gould. Hmmmm. Or maybe I’m misreading and you are merely discussing genetics… -AG > Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear. I think that since Pete is > English, and until > American cultural imperialism forces a change the > language we’re writing is > called English, he’s probably within his rights to > spell defence the way the > English do. Wouldn’t you say? Sure, and maybe Oxford has some different definition of "freedom", allows random misquoting and other such acts of ignorance. Fine. I concede. Although defence/defense derives from the Latin “defensum” (nice little "s" there) ...but you’re' the one that, I think it was, 'obviously wants to be a journalist', so what do I know? smooch, j(ay) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

| I have now realised that I must never ever pass comment on the current price of Ebay items. It's totally unfair and unnecessary and can cause massive offence. I have learnt from the error of my past ways and apologised to all concerned. This whole sorry episode of my life is behind me now, and, with my therapist, I have been able to look at auctions with items as much as 3.2 times overpriced without breaking the shackles of the restraining chair. Sadly, the side effect of this therapy is an inability to spell the word 'sea' and a predisposition to be relatively unexcited by Mark King's Level 42. Having to sit and wait for a new album is the worst thing in the world, especially when we don't even have a date. It's a tantalising prospect. I remember how I felt buying Forever Now, played the album non-stop all evening that day - cold not believe how good it was.

After reading it twice through - I am even more confused...... Mickey...as Gary has stated, hes not happy with the current situation and made that statement so as to make sure there was no speculation into what might or is going to occur. I thinks its a admirable thing to do and all for us fans to be in the know, so to speak and on the YCB, we are proud to have him on board..I am looking forward to working with Gary as are the band whom i know are as excited as i am. :) Love Sharmin x | ||

it sounds as if gary knows more than he wants to reveal.
that is, if there really is a project in the formation to bring
potentially messy to say the least. at the end of the day I
that box ticked, I can only dream about seing them perform
on another note: does anyone know what happened to linx

- I'd rather listen to the best of Dolly Parton to be honest! MIKEY
Mikey!! Them's
is fightin' words!! You have GOT to be kidding,
right?
- I am even more confused......
MIKEY
Could you
elaborate on what confused you?
I read it (I
think it was already posted on the digest as well, no?) and I think I understood
fairly well what Gary was trying to say.
It sounds as
though he IS disappointed that the 'new' direction of L42 does NOT
include his input or collaboration.
Also, he
is disappointed that the existing touring band as a whole will not be
involved in the 'natural evolution' of the band.
AG
PS Sharmin, please pass on to Gary Husband my admiration for the dignified manner in which he has once again conducted himself. I'm glad you so
eloquently spake thusly forth (sorry that's the best I can do).
Sharmin, please
ditto thusly to Gary for me!!!!
Maybe a
petition is in order? Anyone, anyone??!! Ferris?
PS - AG, I
believe I know you answer, but, Nightfly or Kamakiriad? Your
take?
Earth Wind & Fire. Just ordered the new CD "The Promise" as well as
"Live in Rio." Will review if anyone desires.
Trent Please
do!

>> From: Colin Gupta <thegoop @ sympatico.ca> I like Aja simply because there are just not enough sports whistles in pop. << Check out The Tubes's "Sports Fans" for more of your favourite instrument. >> But I beseech; please don't leave me hear alone with the likes of Alex. << Did you catch that? He "beseeches" you. Who can turn down a plea like that? Except I believe he meant: "I beseecheth thee, leavest me not entwinethed within the clutches of The Freezin'." >> JT, you slay me. << Or, JT, I could do that for you, since I'm already in the same town as Colin. And I owe you for those CDs. >> From: Tom Foolery <grooveyardtom @ yahoo.com> but I have never been even remotely bored by any post AG has ever made. << Oh, AG has bored me before. Like, remember that time he used a word with only three syllables? What a yawn-fest that was! And what's with this fascination for AG's pants? Oh, wait, it's the interest in his LACK of pants! Now I understand. Hubba hubba. >> and Friesen and JT are into pvc - << Now _that_ I find rude and offensive on a deeply personal level! I'll have you know that we only wear genuine leather, you gypsum-faced froth-pot! ...Alex... | ||

| I have just purchased the Ohne Filter Concert from Play.com (it doesn't state Pal or NTSC on the packaging). It was recorded in June 1999 and IMHO is very good. It features four tracks from One Man and the usual Level 42 greatest hits. Thumbs up from me. | ||
