I already have it so I smile and, as a last comment, ask, in a quiet way, if he is a feg. Yeah! And there I am talking with Michael K. in Amoeba on Telegraph on his long weekend in the Gray Area! Nice conversation! So what is the moral? I don't know, don't hesitate to ask. Who the hell else would understand the question "Are you a Feg?"? he turned me on to the Tindersticks.

The project is "Holland 1945" - -- a 7-inch single featuring the title track and a B-side, "Engine," that the Athens, Ga.-based band recorded live in Hyde Park in London. Neutral Milk Hotel received critical acclaim earlier this year with the release of their second album, In the Aeroplane Over The Sea. Olivia Tremor Control LP Postponed The release of Olivia Tremor Control's 27-song LP Black Foliage: Animation Music from the Olivia Tremor Control has been pushed back from September to February, due to "slow production," according to a representative at the band's Flydaddy label. The album is now slated for a Feb. 2 release. A previously planned EP, designed to introduce the overall concept of the upcoming album, has been scrapped, and instead, a four-song EP from the band, titled Hideaway, is set for an Oct. 13 release. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 23:38:13 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: dlang site Tews: ><-- I think our server finally is working 24 hours, whatever, its >working at the moment , so if you want to check out the abandoned >brain, with the posse spew .etc. its online NOW.

I keep saying how I want to stay out, and yet...... This was just one thing I wanted to clarify (and I speak only for myself, not an aggregate of "astrologers" though IMX many would actually take this view also). The use of astrology to predict a future with any sort of certainty is a misuse, and a misunderstanding of its purpose, albeit a common one. An individual's chart (which contains thousands of interpretable factors, not just the one sun sign) gives -only- potentialities, and only personality-related ones at that. To make a definitive prediction as to their future or future actions is to grossly misunderstand the purpose of a chart. Unfortunately the human desire to "know the future" has caused people to attempt to use this tool for purposes that it wasn't designed for, hence lottery numbers, millenial doom predicitions, and so on and so on. In any event, the original purpose and use of it takes free will and environmental factors well into account. Please go on with the regularly scheduled debate if you're not too bored, I'm learning a lot from both Ross and James :). >>Love is real. But if Celine tells me it can move mountains I'm >>calling her out. I'm quoting from memory, so this may not be exact, but didn't Momus once say in an interview that if she replaced "love" with "stamp-collecting" her songs would be a good deal improved? :) Love on ya, Susan P.S.

Here's the first paragraph: "Harmony and balance are your keynotes. You instinctively understand the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and you are always fair and willing to meet the other person half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and with considerable social awareness, you do all you can to avoid conflict and discord. You express a spirit of cooperation and compromise and often achieve through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve by a direct, forceful approach."

You instinctively understand the Ebby, that was for a Libra Sun. It is obviously mitigated by other factors. Actually almost everything else in your chart mitigates against that Sun, especially several severe aspects to the moon, and the Sun being square Jupiter doesn't help matters either. Giving one isolated placement with none of the other placements or aspects is misleading, to say the least. The thing about the free chart is that it just spits out very general interpretations for each position- it doesn't integrate the factors into a coherent whole. A computer program by its very nature can't actually do an interpretation. Don't start up the jeering section til you've got the whole picture :).
