THIS one gets my vote. Just when I thought no more submissions for the comp would be forthcoming, Crackers slips one in from behind ....... oooops, sorry. Slight Freudian Slip there, or was it a Jungian Corset? Anyway, jolly well done. But whatever you do, DON'T perform it live in public with the Tom Waits voice or you could find yourself in the slammer before you have time to deflate your accordion.

Have you tried one of those sunlight visor thingies? If not I'd recommend getting one right away as you seem to be showing symptoms of whatever that syndrome that folk in the far north, that I can't remember the name of (the syndrome, not the folk), suffer from during the long winter nights. See? I'm doing it again. Long sentences. Must stop. Causes confusion. Not cricket. Profuse apologies. >Must be some sort of cosmic sign. > Not really, it's just that I use the expression 'bugger' rather a lot. Perhaps I should stop it.

I've seen several stories of this kind in the press in the UK, and indeed a story line in Coronation Street involved Mavis and Derek Wilton's gnome, who's name escapes me at the moment, disappearing and sending either photos or postcards from a variety of exotic locations. Some balm pot must be spending a lot of money organising this, and one has to ask oneself WHY? I mean, it's a relatively harmless pass time, but must take quite a bit of time and effort. Who IS doing it and WHY? I think we should be told. This sounds like a case for Mulder and Skully to me. Anybody got Chris Carter's e-mail address, I'm sure he could make a superb X Files episode based on this scenario.

(They're only youngsters, really, but I'll get them to appreciate REAL music in the fullness of time.) I see what the Alloyites mean about the Tom Waits connection, not that I really know much of his material. But the instrumentation, tempo, in fact everything about it is SUPERP. If it was out as a single, I'D BUY IT, which is about the best compliment I gan give as I almost never buy singles. I'll play my team the original tomorrow. If they're not singing 'eye, eye, eye, eye' before 2pm I'll want to know the reason why.

This time, he's in the November issue of InterActivity magazine, on page 45. His picture is in the table of contents, along with some members of the Beatnik/Headspace (I think) crew. The article is about Beatnik and "sonifying" a web site in general. Good stuff.
