I don't know if they sell tickets there, but my friend who's acquiring tickets is juist going to try a ticketmaster outlet anyway... I haven't heard anything about them selling tickets anywhere but at TM outlets. Oh, btw, I got engaged on Monday :) Kath ======================================================================== Date: Fri, 20 May 94 13:53:46 -0400 From: pearceja%pomis.dnet@wl.wpafb.af.mil Subject: A TicketMaster Tale I N T E R O F F I C E M E M O R A N D U M Date: 20-May-1994 01:36pm EST From: Lt Jeffrey A. Pearce PEARCEJA Dept: POSF Tel No: 52089 TO: Remote MILNET Mail ( _DDN[ecto@ns1.rutgers.edu] ) Subject: A TicketMaster Tale Dear Ectophiles, With the constant bashing of TicketMaster that I see on numerous lists, I thought I'd pass on what must be a rare positive experience with TicketMaster this morning. Tori Amos tickets for a show on July 5th in Columbus went on sale this morning at the atypical time of 9 am. Due to the fact that Eagles tickets were going on sale today too, I was told by the TM folks to come get a line ticket this morning. When I stopped by about 7:15 on my way to work, the kindly TM employee, on discovering that I only wanted a Tori ticket (not the a coveted Eagles ticket) asked me to put my name and how many tickets on an envelope and leave a $20 deposit. She then said I didn't need to be there when tickets went on sale, they would simply pull the ticket and I could pick it up anytime today. This sounded wonderful, but I was a bit skeptical. At lunch I returned to TM to pick up my ticket, and much to my delight they had gotten me 3rd row, just left of center ... almost perfect. Needless to say, I nearly had a torgasm. This may well be my last good experience with TM (the law of average, you know), but it certainly wasn't wasted. Hoping you all have similarly good luck with Tori tickets, Jeff pearceja@wl.wpafb.af.mil ======================================================================== Date: Fri, 20 May 94 15:50:21 EDT From: WretchAwry Subject: WOMAD (updated) Sorry Meth, I'm on the digest until Jess puts me back on bounce (sniff, I miss my bounce Ecto).

Vickie, METH, I not only TRIED to get WOMAD tix, but succeeded. Actually put all 12 on my SO's Filene's Charge Card (it's (the card) good for something, after all). For some reason, there wasn't a limit this year. Ken travelled all the way from Albany to stand on line with us to order tix (so we'd all be together, and so he wouldn't have to stand on line with everyone at SPAC who was only getting Barry Manilow tickets......). Saratoga is not, as you may have surmised, "just outside of NYC", but more like 3.5 hours north. However, the Saratoga date is July *17*, not the 16th. Any other errors on the list (I haven't read Vickie's WOMAD UPDATE, yet)? My understanding, BTW, is that "lawn seats" (mostly lawn, with very little actual "seat" to them, aside from the generally horizontal nature...) will be available for a while...whereas the ACTUAL seats (as opposed to the VIRTUAL ones) probably are already gone.

Subject: Under the Pink Well, I'm hooked. Under the Pink has joined my collection of desert Island discs. I wasn't too impressed with it when I first heard it but after seeing Tori Amos on Letterman performing Baker Baker, I decided to give it another try. The lyrics are more obscure than on Little Earthquakes. In LE, there were some moments of obscurity (mermaid line in silent all these years?). On UTP, it seems to be mostly obscure with moments of lucid thought coming through but the effect of the vocals and music is amazing. It also contains some very affecting songs: Bells for Her (I was listening to this today and it is truly amazing), Baker Baker, Pretty Good Year....well, the list goes on. Out of seemingly random train of thought lines will come things that strike right to the heart. Anyway, what I'm trying to say at 2 in the morning while sitting in my half packed up house, half asleep, is that the album is amazing. I listen to it nearly every day....sometimes several times in succession and never get tired of it. wow. other purchases: Possession cd single. I really like the other versions of Fear and Mary. The MAsk and the Mirror. Saw this for 10 dollars and couldn't resist. great stuff. I'm glad I got it. I like it better than The Visit even. other stuff...I lent Little Earthquakes to a friend of mine and he went out and got the rest of her cds including the singles for God, Pretty Good Year, Crucify import and China. well, I have quite an impressive b-sides tape made up now. heheh. not so great stuff: I made a Happy tape for someone at school and his response was: I didn't like any of the songs except for Wretches Gone Awry. Oh well. I want that tape back! I'll give it someone else. Got to spread the word. I have two more days left in this house before I'm out. Luckily I wont' be losing net access. I can't say I'll miss the Pumpkin palace much. Enough of student housing for now..enough of slum lords and bars down the street. But isn't packing a pain? night all..

Could that be the one by Barry Adamson (he of the Bad Seeds and the producer of Ethyl Meatplow album - and yes, he was in Visage too :-) and Anita Lane? If so, it was a single here, but can also be found on the soundtrack to the film "Delusion".

After an eternity on a waiting list at my local post office, I've scored myself a private post office box; reason for this being mainly that my mailbox at my street address is (a) right on the footpath of a major road, and kids from schools nearby who walk past have been pinching mail, and (b) exposed to the weather. With CDs arriving every other day and the not-too-great postal practise of dumping big parcels on my doorstep in plain view of the world, this should make me feel far more secure about my mail. :-) So, if you're mailing anything to me, the address to send it to from now on is: Anthony Horan P.O.

The full track listing is: Bad Attitude Destroy The Flower * Puppet Everyone's Victim Energy Cowboy Happiness The Earth Around The World Sycophant * Miamo-Tutti The Dresses Song The Darkest Night Of All * = resurrected from the dead by Ivo Watts-Russell and everyone at 4AD.
