Maybe someone should post the mailing list address on that > "newsgroup" thing they have set up. At first, I went out there, following the Sony Basia link from my page, and I saw the same old presence. Then I backed up a level and tried again, this time reaching the new Basia page. Nice work. I'm glad they decided to acknowledge me rather than sue me. It makes me feel all warm inside. :) On the (waters-of-march-is-compilation-p) problem, I wonder if we got crossed up here. There is currently talk to two upcoming Basia projects: WOM and the track she's contributing to Peter White's album. I'm still of the belief that WOM is all Basia, but then I'm an optimist who really doesn't care much at all about corporate Sony, rather preferring to get my Miss T fix by any means possible.

I've recently uncovered the following B-side tracks from Reilly/White/ Trzetrzelewska era Matt Bianco 7" singles: "Big Rosie" and "The Other Side." I haven't bought them yet, but I'm curious if anyone knows what they are, and when they were recorded (ie before the schizm in the Matt Bianco/Basia church). I seem to remember someone here mentioning the "Big Rosie" track before, but I don't think I've ever heard of "The Other Side." Toodles! JSL.
