I have been trying to locate a vinyl copy of David Gray's "Flesh" (1994) for some time. I'm assured any copies extant would be in the UK. Any ideas? Thanks.

It's a survey I enjoyed filling out. Thank you!! I can't take any credit for the design -- that was all Valerie, working within the constraints required by her class project. She's supposed to be doing a conjoin analysis of the results. We've gotten quite a few responses, even more than expected -- so thanks to everyone for participating!

I admit it--my vehemence about them is mainly because I was in a pissy mood, plus the assault from the volume. However, I do resent still having one of their compositions rattling around in my head--the one whose only lyric was "Why doncha tell her thatcha kissed maey..." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2003 14:51:00 -0400 From: meredith Subject: don't forget -- happy's playing this week!

We had half a mind to come to this until we got our apartment walking papers. Have fun guys, keep track of set lists, and record, if possible! :) We will almost certainly be at the Tin Angel shows in November.

And to think, I allowed mere physical fatigue to keep me from seeing a recent gig featuring her, Nicole Campbell, and some other local artists performing covers of each other's songs. Stupid me. I also have to mention (with the current thread wrt happy songs), that while the song "Pillowcase Sail" isn't a particularly happy song, the following lyric of McKinley's always gets a smile out of me: "She's sure of most things, but I'm sure I know a turtle holds the world on his back and Sister Black it's turtles all the way down." Time to get to CDBaby and engage in some EWS... John ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V9 #187 **************************
