Big surprise there (enter sarcastic sneer here), seeing as how the sales of "Basia on Broadway" were absolutely atrocious. Still, that doesn't rule out the chance that this song may appear on some future Christmas compilation CD. Or, perhaps this song is that mysterious "Brand New Single" (ESCA-6318 - Japanese Import) that CD Banzai! is offering for $28. Odds are its something that we haven't heard before...but whether its this "Angels Blush" single or that mysterious weirdo version of "Half a Minute" that Ben hears on his phone and someone else hears at Wal-Mart (or wherever the heck they heard it) still remains unknown. Frankly, I don't know if I'm willing to shell out $28 plus shipping for some no-name Japanese import...with my luck it would probably turn out to be nothing more than the live version of "Half a Minute" with, like, "Dzien Sie Budzi" and "Reward" as bonus tracks. Just my $.02 worth. Looks like I'm going back to Philly... Toodles! ============================================================================== OHMYGOD! ITS GOT AN UNFINISHED HOMEPAGE!!!
