If you can't get what you want, you can't be satisfied with anything else. I see Basia's latest as a first step towards what I am hoping for. She is still with Danny so that says volumes.

What a jerk you are. You can't argue intelligently so you make up words and attribute them to me. Like, where the hell did the "Christmas" comments come from? And getting "exactly" what I was "demanding"? LOL, sounds good, but only in your pathetic little mind. Cause I never said it. Just for the record, I was taught never to "demand" anything.. especially at Christmas. In our home Christmas was always about Jesus first, and about giving second. Demanding must be how you grew up. Oops, sorry...you haven't grown up yet after all, have you? Furthermore, I paid for the new offering...it wasn't given to me. Did Basia send you a free copy? If I pay for something and am displeased am I not allowed to say so? Oh thank you, Basia, thank you. May I have another? Lady, please don't tell people that you're a Basia fan.

Or is it that you prefer to narrow your vision to strengthen your argument? Someone allows you to monitor posts? Your attention to detail seems a might lacking for such responsibility. If you paid attention at all you'd know that my first post concerning the new release was quite reasonably stated. The rest were my responses to attacks on me for not liking the new CD. You people all need to grow up a little. We don't all have to think alike. And Barry, if I'm a jerk what are you? Oh, I know...you're a jerk-off!

I thought they were quite snazzy myself. <> Maybe you should actually read my post before you go on the attack. I wasn't telling anyone how to feel. I was saying that in fact you can feel how you want, but I, ME, MYSELF am going to go with this other perspective because I frankly choose to. Freedom of choice, see.... <> Even if you didn't like it, I'm sure you could have done better at expressing it, than "can we vote for her to get off her ass and make more music." If you are so above us, that isn't any way to prove it. People on this list (Bill for example) said they didn't like it as much in a far more civil way. If you had done the same, we wouldn't be discussing this anyway. Oh, and I'm hardly 'annointed.' I simply try not to (though I have had my moments) act like an asshole on the eight or so years I've been on this list. And when I post to the list, whether my opinion is popular or unpopular, at least I have the cojones to actually sign my name. This sort of thing is exactly the reason why this list has been dying a slow death. Just when things get going, someone has to go and be an ass. Life is too damn short for this.

I dunno... hell hath no fury like a 300-lb Bronx-born production director when the poo hits the fan. ;-P I love my job but why they pick December 24 as a deadline is beyond me!

I guess I've been blessed with good customers. Most are either pretty flexible or pretty clueless. ;) "The creative process can take longer than expected sometimes." No, I don't blow people off. But I'm picky about my work and I will delay things a few days if possible to make sure it's the best I can make it. That's another reason I prefer being my own boss. I don't usually have to get it done "well enough", I can do it the way I want it done. Some people say it's more work, and they're probably right. I'm just too independent to work for someone else most of the time. I tend to be a leader, not a follower. Not that there's anything wrong with working for someone else, it's just not for me.

Or not. I'm still as confused as hell. He sounds exactly the same as he did when he graced the music industry with "The Transformed Man" album ... it makes one weep (or cringe) Visit http://www.shatnerology.com/ for more inspiration and delight Gosh, William hasn't lost his magic, nor ability of range in his singing mixed with spoken word!! I nearly broke into tears, i mean, hysterics!! Gotta love the ol' fellah, his sence of humor is still intact ;) Om Shanti Pax to all!!! <*curtsy*> ...all typo's are the result of not spall chicking... ...use of emoticons are the result of poor language mechanics... *"Last Laugh" on Comedy Central - -*- Eryn Rachell Saddler .::.

It's a lot better (IMHO) than Transformed Man in that I actually like listening to it, but not all at once. His version of Pulp's "Common People" is better than the original! the title track (Has Been) is also priceless. - --leslie __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I firmly believe that Bill has a great sense of humour, especially with the episode on SNL in the Trekkie Con skit, and the more recent Priceline commercials with Leonard.

I just couldn't let the Christmas flame war go on without me. Speaking of Christmas, I thought I'd report for duty to inform my fellow Basiaphiles that I've already managed to give: - "Matt's Mood" to a dear old friend who originally introduced me to Basia but has yet to join the Net so isn't aware of this most excellent group, or Matt Bianco, or anything - "London Warsaw New York" (9.99 from Tower Records) to a new friend who has NEVER heard of Basia, but is about to ... Doing my duty for the Lovely One, not to mention showering most excellent gifts on my own loved ones. - - Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-basia@smoe.org [mailto:owner-basia@smoe.org]On Behalf Of > Leslie O. > Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 5:16 PM > To: basia@smoe.org > Subject: Re: Well, as they say... > > > > > On Wed, 15 Dec 2004 09:42:23 -0800 (PST) > > "Leslie O." wrote: > > >> ...
