Both Sides Of The Sea has been released last year in the US. It's a collection of songs from her first two albums, nothing new.

Some time ago I posted that the album was delayed until 'some time soon'. I've just checked the Noa homepage at http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~arubin/noanews.html and there it says now: I have now heard that the new mostly English album, called "Haunted", is expected to be released sometime in the fall. Geffen records was bought and this caused some delay. The recording of the album is just beginning in mid-May. So I guess we'll have to wait some more... Current tour dates on that same page are now only for: July 16. Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland July 17. Stadtpark, Hamburg, Germany Best wishes, Marion n.p.

Actually, it was Marion who introduced me to Sinead's music :-) but there's this cross pollination thing going on everywhere all the time. n.p. praise - easy way out (mp3 excerpt) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 18:37:30 -0500 (CDT) From: "Mitchell A. Pravatiner" Subject: Happy Birthday Project Yes, there will be a Happy Birthday Project this year, as long as I have anything to do with it. I am hopeful of getting the Happy Christmas-in-June Project :-) on tape in the next few days, then I can worry about a prospectus for our compilation for Happy's 34th birthday on August 9th. Thanks for the expression of interest.

And speaking of video tapes, I just bought the Alien Legacy collection of the Alien movies with a special fifth tape about the 20th anniversary of Alien. I was considering getting the DVD version of the collection since the DVD for each movie obviously has little extra goodies that you can't fit on a VHS cassette, but i don't have a DVD player and don't foresee myself getting one in the near future (at least, not until i buy a quality component stereo system). Still, it'll be nice to see the long-sought after director's version of Aliens and some of the cut scenes from Alien. All in widescreen with advanced digital transfer/THX stuff that I probably won't be able to detect on my tv and vcr. Which I'm waiting for my sister to bring up to Boston when she moves here with my cat on tuesday. :) I miss my cat. >--Kay > >np: Liz Mitchell/Lisa Loeb: Liz and Lisa >nr: an old Bloom County collection...what happened to the days of really >decent comic strips? oh, hey, Kay, thanks for responding when i was asking about ISPs...I chose to stay with my ultranet account, which has been kinda eh so far. My current "boss" who is the assistant to the Dean of Music Technology here at Berklee graduated from Brown in '98. you went to brown, right? another reminder : i need to reread all those Calvin and Hobbes collections we have at home... there is one comic strip that I think is highly enjoyable these days...not that i read the newspaper funnies anymore. But i picked up a collection of strips that a guy named Frank Cho ran in the University of Maryland a couple years ago called University 2 (that should be a superscript 2, as in "squared"). It was about a bunch of animals going to college and being a part of a fraternity. Yeah there are a lot of frat jokes, but there are also monkey jokes. And we all know that monkeys are funny. After he graduated, he got picked up by the Creators Syndicate and, after revisions, got it published as a daily all across the nation as Liberty Meadows. You can check out each day's strip as well as an archive of the last two weeks at creators.com If you go now, you can check out the hilarious big sunday strips from the past two weeks which deal with Star Wars. obligatory Star Wars name doodle for mike connell - Stereo Field: the Phantom Image. ok, so that wasn't funny. sue me. i just have studio terminology on the mind right now. has anyone bought and listened to the new Eleanor McEvoy album yet? i saw it at Tower for 17.99 *gasp*. She's changed her look yet again. Short, cropped hair. I didn't buy it...but i do have a ticket for the Guiness Fleadh in Boston that happens on the 19th. Anyone else going? beth orton and eleanor and sixpence none the richer and elvis costello and eileen ivers band a whole lot more are gonna be there.

They're rare. I confess about the only one I'm addicted to now is Sluggy Freelance, an online one at http://www.sluggy.com. There's also one print book out and another forthcoming any day. I've loved most of the strip so far--about the only story line that didn't thrill me was a recent one about Muffy the Vampire Baker. Buffy fans might enjoy it more than I did. The last strip I enjoyed before that is Calvin and Hobbes. - --Neile n.p.
