Some more impressions of the new CD :-) Not that I had a chance to listen to it more than twice, but took it to work with me today and gonna listen to it again now (btw, I am writing this mail instead of doing something useful ;-P) Really love "A Gift", that I have already had a chance to listen to on the radio and the more I hear it, the more I like it. And just fallen in love with "Blame it on the Summer"! I guess that is what differs the genuinely good music from anything else - you hear it for the first time, you go to open it the door of your heart - and you find it already there :-) Hugs, Krysia _________________________________________________________________ Drag n dropGet easy photo sharing with Windows Live Photos. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/products/photos.aspx ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 04:42:40 -0700 (PDT) From: "Desianto F. W." Subject: RE: New CD is beyond words... Though I have never heard a glimpse of it, I can say that of course it is beyond words. It surely has the sounds of musical instruments and anything elses Basia and friends used to record all songs on the new CD... hahahahaha... :-) just kidding... OK, get serious. All of you have made me wait impatiently. I am not sure which version will be released in Indonesia, but usually it is US version. However, it is still possible that it will be another new version. I have ever known that there was a Swedish singer - I forget the name - releasing an album in Indonesia. It has 15 songs or so, while the US and European versions have only about 10 or 12 songs. So, I will pray that it would be 15 Basia songs for Indonesian version... :-) OK, time to go to a musical school and take Basialogy 701 class for the intermediate level... :-) ---- Have a nice day!

But this release is probably going to be my only ITGA-party since there are no plans that B&D will perform in/near Holland. So I have to enjoy this moment to the max. (And of course I'll enjoy all fan the video's and pictures of the tour but I will then feel a little bit like you do now.) Krysia, making this video is not that difficult. Take pictures, music load it up to www.animoto.com and play with the options. I could not create a video like this in such a short time.

The day I waited for for 15 years--a completely new solo studio album--finally came today! I almost cried. I am so happy! I have it importing into my iTunes right now. I will listen to it after I watch Idol--okay, I know I have my priorities screwed up. But I wanted to report about the special HMV edition. I thought the CD was going to come in a special sleeve. Nope! It is like a then file pocket in which you would keep papers like for school or some other important purpose. It has the album cover art on it and lyrics from "It's That Girl Again." Also, it comes with a poster that has the same picture as the art on the back of the CD. Maybe this is the promotional poster they use in Japan? It's all in English. I saw on iTunes today that they have "It's That Girl Again" available for pre-order on the US site. However, I find it interesting that Basia is not available on the Japanese site at all. It does, however, have another artist named "Basia" and another artist named "Basia Bulat." Has anyone ever heard of them?

She's about 19 pounds/8.6kg. She begs for food all the time and I used to feed her whenever she meowed (more like screaming) to shut her up. However, the veterinarian got on my case and now she's on a diet (but not doing so well on it). A funny coincidence. My friend that lives in London, Ontario, Canada, was just saying that Basia Bulat is from London, Ontario. She's a kind of folk singer. My friend gave me a link to a youtube video, for those interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhFAA82dINo&feature=related They locals are quite proud of her, apparently. joe On 3/17/09 8:44 PM, "Desianto F.
