I made this very point myself - glad you agree. I too, would like to see a joint finale. I dare even say that this is probable. > Fegs, stick around for Billy, even if you're not a fan. You will be.

That looked like a pretty good start - did it ever > finish? _SoftCore_ is complete up to mid-1995; after that, it was abandoned as the people compiling it left _PVs_. An edited version - probably leaving out the potted reviews of each track - will probably be included in the forthcoming book _A Saucerful of Seafish_.

I remember coming across a passage in Fripp's biography, _Robert Fripp: From Crimson King to Crafty Guitarist_ by Eric Tamm, that said essentially, the original concept of King Crimson was to see what Hendrix would sound like playing Bartok.

Hello everyone. I talked to a producer that I know today, who is affiliated with Jonathon Demme, and he told me some details about the Robyn film. 'Turns out the project is very iffy at this point as Demme was not able to raise the kind of money he thought he would be able to. (I hope this the following has not already been covered) He told me that the idea is, or maybe was, to have young Robyn perform on a New York City street before a shop-front (sort of like he's busking). The shoot would be at night. The street would be closed off to traffic, of course, but open to anyone who would care to spectate. It would be a four camera shoot. I think it's a good idea. -Tim. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Oct 1996 18:14:30 -0400 Subject: Re: Voices! I hear voices. . . From: To those of you hearing voices in between tracks on You and Oblivion, you are not crazy. I was at an Innocence Mission concert about a year ago at a place called Luna Park in Los Angeles. It turns out only five or so tickets were sold to the public and the record label bought the rest and gave them out to industry people. The guy I sat next to that night was Jim Neill(or Rick Gershon, I can't remember). Anyway it was one of the guys from Rhino. He told me there is an low volume track of Robyn's daughter singing nursery rhymes in the background.
