Oh, just like Introspective - PSB mailing list: after the release of Somewhere (their last single; out in June 1997) we didn't have many PSB topics to talk about. So everyone started chatting about politics/Clinton & cigars/being gay (oh, gay debates... terrible)/other bands/the PSB tribute CD/being angry on people chatting 'bout the PSB tribute CD/not wanting to hear the PSB tribute CD/... etc. > I'm a (lurking) member of a ML that's so overly > self-regulatory that any kind of outside idea or > thought line is practically impossible to express. > Everyone constantly then ends up apologising for > something they said because 3 people were offended. > Give me a break!

I'll die before it's out!!!) and album in September 27th (this might make me go back to the living...) Some, at least 1% of Basia content: anybody else heard the Karen Ramirez "Distant Dreams" album? Track 1, Troubled Girl is _so_ much Basia... (-) Ray [::: come.to/raynavarra ::: www.mp3.com/ray_navarra ::: www.mp3.com/bard :::] Soon back online: Quite Pet Shop Boys website! Watch this space...
