Toldja! yeah yeah yeah. i almost wrote a snide comment about how I hate it when Charley is right, because he always BRAYS and tells you I TOLD YOU SO but i refrained...and this is what i get. :) and really, i was going to get this album anyway, being a big time Stephin Merrit fan, but Charley beat me to it. irvin ps. anyone have thoughts on Kinnie Starr? supposedly a review called it a hiphop version of ani difranco with a little PJ Harvey thrown in. in theory this sounds good, in practise i was left cold. i have the album, and really can't get through it, but perhaps i need to let it grow on me? like mold?

Very cool! Definately include the net stations! It's a growing media after all, and those stations not afraid of the brave new world should be supported. > -----Original Message----- > From: rjk1@cs.wustl.edu [SMTP:rjk1@cs.wustl.edu] > Subject: Ectopower! > > Anyone know if they accept radio stations > simulcasting over the web?

And now for the real news (at least for me and I imagine a couple of other ectoids here): Yes has announced a few tour dates!

There are also a number of CD databases thta will keep track of your CDs. One that I know a few ectophiles use is called Audiofile. There's a new version of Audiofile out that can load entries into the database by simply loading the CD into your CD-ROM drive (it contacts the cddb server) and fills in all of the data (no typing!). - -jeff ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V3 #9 ************************
