So > I guess the song must have been about a Russian sub or something. The Grand Dame du Dolby, Europa, has informed me that Tom had an uncle in the British Submarine Service who was lost at sea - hence the line, "And I can trace my history . . ." The similarity to rumors of lost Soviet subs is purely happenstance, it seems. ****************** For: Robin (RThurF@aol) Subj: Wicked Wit > But I do sense some shreds of taste in this woman, when I play Dolby I hear > some crashing around in her place, which I assume is dancing. Thanks for the hoot! Hope I never end up on *your* bad side . . . ****************** For: Europa Subj: Wow! Dearest (and I mean that, dollink) Eurogirl, A thousand gratitudes for your kind words. So kind in fact, I decline to quote exactly what you said for fear of seeming the megalomaniac, but I will say that your message BRIGHTENED my day like nothing else. I am *really touched* by your sentiment and gracious language. And you call me articulate? Nay, fair Lady, tis you with the Golden Keyboard. Mine is but brass, and I needs must polish it constantly to get such lustre as you have demonstrated. Well, ok. A little quote: > May you have many more, O one who has the wherewithal to turn dreams into > reality! And in a land of dreams, I found . . . You are too kind, /\/\iles Stunned ------------------------------ Date: 04 Jun 97 06:43:46 EDT From: "Stephen M.

By now you've probably figured out the problem here . . . transposed some letters you did. That's "id est" me lad. Must be drain bramage . . . or a kroken beyoard. And now that I've unintentionally insulted you - let me ask a favor, a boon if you will. Europa tells me you occasionally frequent record shows there in the UK. I am looking for two TMDR UK-only releases: the EMI CD-5's released in support of the "Retrospectacle" compilation (according to Lazlo's List). Haven't had any luck here Stateside and was wondering if these items might be available across the pond?

I'm also looking for one of these -- the gatefold "Hyperactive!" CD-single with "Windpower" and "Puppet Theatre" on it.

Funny I just was listening to a tape of his in the car. "wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes" did anyone see the video?

I especially like the fact that Thomas has been spending so much of his spare time there. Sphere ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V2 #106 ***************************
