[Xenu's Sister]: > > Sophie Zelmani - is it how it looks? So-fee Zel (as in fell, > tell) -man-ee (or mon-ee, or many) she's Swedish, so the pedantically correct pronunciation is Su-FEE (stress on second syllable, u as in midway between bull and boss) Zell-MAH-nee aim for the French pronunciation, perhaps? but no one would expect you to pronounce it different from the usual English way, and indeed it is more useful for your listeners since they will be able to figure out the correct spelling by themselves that way. > Kat Terran - Cat or Kate? Tear-ann? Ter (fur, sure) ann? no idea. > I've already got my 3rd show all put together, with Happy, > Hollie Smith, Azure Ray, (early) Bjork, Sophie, Kat, Shivaree, > Rainbirds, Dead Can Dance, Heather Duby, July and Mary Margaret > O'Hara, now I have to go look up web pages. sounds great :-) - -- Kjetil T. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 06:50:31 -0400 From: Rod Kratochwill Subject: Shoes for Industry! Kerry was noted as saying: > "Who was born today, Patti?" > "Uh, nobody Hugh." > "I mean in history, before they changed the water..." And we've been talking about Podcasts, so I thought I'd mention that the Firesign Theater folks have a Podcast. For the most part it seems to be clips from the old records, which fit in great as little transitions between the other Podcasts I load for my daily dose of Pod'tertainment. http://www.firesigntheater.com/podcasting Rod ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 22:20:50 -0400 From: Michael Curry Subject: Cowboy Junkies news - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Junk Mail - August 9th, 2005 Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 11:41:08 -0600 From: Cowboy Junkies To: mcurry@io.com Hello Everyone: Our new DVD, Long Journey Home, has finally arrived in its North American format and we're pleased to announce it is now for sale in the Junk Store. The DVD was shot at Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool, UK, in October 2004. It's a full, 2-hour concert, recorded in 5.1 surround sound (it also, of course, has the basic stereo option), with a bonus disc of interviews and backstage insight with the full touring band and crew. You can read about it here: http://www.cowboyjunkies.com/exclusives/longjourneyhome/index.html Or, skip the description and buy it here: http://www.maplemusic.com/product.asp?dept%5Fid=14&pf%5Fid=01%2D193&lang=EN (Note: the DVD for sale through the Junk Store is formatted for NTSC DVD players. If you live outside of North America, you may have a PAL DVD player and the DVD will probably not play on your machine. Due to our agreement with the DVD production company, we are not able to sell the PAL formatted DVD, but it is available in traditional retail and online outlets outside of North America.)
