I want to wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas! I haven't read my email in a couple of weeks. Things get very busy this time of year. I am glad to that that everyone got what they wanted for Christmas. I received some practical items myself. Four new all weather tires for my car (I guess someone heard we were supposed to get a lot of the white stuff, I am still looking for it!). I also have a new microwave thanks to Santa. Now I can nuke my food once again without having to slam the door to it 10 times before it will turn on (so as it was with the prior model). I left the biggest stocking out that I could find, in hopes that I would get my new VW Bug this year, but alas, I had to settle for the tires. Guess I have to wait for my birthday in Feb. I hope you all have a great celebration on New Year's Eve, have fun, be careful and safe. OH, and on the 2nd, I want all of you to burn your copies of Prince's 1999! Talk to you in the new year!

I like Alloy because I can email others who like Dolby's musice about as much as I do. It's great!!

I like to watch every once in awhile. Another tape I like to watch every once in awhile is 'Rockula'. Dolby actually stars in that one. The character he plays suits him well. Very cool movie. I am also a big fan of Duran Duran. I even saw the film they took their name from. Silly movie!! Anyway, will always like those cool, cool eighties new wave bands.!!

I have this album and it's interesting to hear Dolby's production work with this group. It probably would be better for you if you could listen to it before purchasing it as you might not like it since not everyone cares for Prefab Sprout which also carries the"Dolby producer" tag. Definitely a tough album to find though! M.
