(The digest troubles.) I want to know if I missed any updates or further announcements of the tape trees; either the B sides or the cover songs. I had signed up for the B sides tree but that was before the mailer problems. Respond to me directly if you don't want to waste the bandwidth.

I hear "all you get is a frame", which fits in rather well with some of the other songs on the album (such as Flesh Cartoons and Queen Elvis), as well as the themes of "masks" and "photos". some people I've asked hear "all you get is afraid", which to me sounds a bit funny grammatically. dunno. other suggestions are welcome... thanks! susan From THOMASSON@CHEERS.gs.com Wed Oct 27 10:24:51 1993 Received: from camb.com by geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu (5.65/4.0) with SMTP id ; Wed, 27 Oct 93 10:24:51 -0400 Received: from gs.com by camb.com (PMDF V4.2-14 #4085) id <01H4LOZH2QKG8WXVV4@camb.com>; Wed, 27 Oct 1993 09:44:12 EDT Received: from DECnet-Mail (THOMASSON@CHEERS) by gs.com (PMDF V4.2-12 #3223) id <01H4LOVVUO8W8Y7M4B@gs.com>; Wed, 27 Oct 1993 09:26:06 EDT Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1993 09:26:06 -0400 (EDT) From: Where are the Prawns?

Aaron Kinda makes you wonder, tho, doesn't it? BTW, I have been listening to _Perspex_ today, which has been, since he released it, by far one of my least favorite Robyn Hitchcock albums, but I think I am appreciating it more and more. The album seems to have a unique mood, one not comparable to that of any of his other albums. For example, for some reason, I think _Respect_, _Element_, and _Groovy Decoy_ can all be grouped together for some reason....
