Russell" Subject: Sainsbury's does not accept Cash Guess what I got in my inbox this morning: Dear Stewart Thank you for the above order. Unfortunately 'UNEARTHED 5CD' has been removed from the Sainsbury's entertain You website due to a dispute involving the release date of the product. Under the circumstances we have been left with no option but to cancel your order and apologise for the disappointment caused. Once a release date has been confirmed the product will re-appear on the site and new orders may be placed. Thank you for visiting Sainsbury's entertain You. Regards Sainsbury's entertain You This excuse doesn't wash with me. Other suppliers, such as amazon.co.uk, are listing the same release date as Sainsbury's were: the first week of February. They just don't wish to honour the low price that they advertised on their website.

Except for the shit I hated which I'm not counting. ===== "Senator John McCain recently compared the situation in Iraq to the Vietnam era -- to which President Bush replied, 'What does Iraq have in common with drinking beer in Texas?'" -- Craig Kilborn "I don't think the Bush administration lied to us about Iraq. I think it's worse than that. I think they fooled themselves. I think they were conned by Ahmad Chalabi. I think they indulged in wishful thinking to a point of near criminality. I think they decided anyone who didn't agree with them was an enemy, anti-American, disloyal. In other words, I think they're criminally stupid." -- Molly Ivins __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

It's a fairly dark record, saturated with confessions of regret, the strange sadness of aging, longing for lost friends and familiar places. The title track is a sublime reflection on that blurry line between growing up and growing old, a melancholy piano dirge laid over tinkling music-box notes and one awfully lonely-sounding guitar. While the lyrics are heavy, the music manages to keep the whole thing from sinking under it's own weight. Sonically, it's kind of a departure for the band, like 70's concept-rock meets, well, sf59. The closing track is easily the most haunting "pop" tune I've ever heard: "Listen and I'll tell you a story of lies you'll never get back. This is a reason to worry, the trials that make you a man." Ghostly background vocals chime in for the uber-catchy chorus: "When I have my first heart attack and I can't even breathe, tell the truth, I know you wouldn't lie when I'm on my last beat..." The song then sweeps into a grand ladies-and-gentlemen-we-are-floating-in-space interlude before dissolving into the eerie sounds of an operating room. The muffled voices of a doctor and a nurse echo as if overheard by someone on the operating table. "How's the blood pressure?" (pause) "Not good." Anyway, I'm diggin' it big-time. I like it much better than their last album, "Leave Here a Stranger," but not quite as much as "The Fashion Focus." I'd put it on par with "Everybody Makes Mistakes." = s&th hooligan@apostate.com "To me, fat guys are like the chirping canaries in the mine shaft of freedom." - Dennis Miller ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 11:51:51 -0800 From: Eb Subject: Merry Christmas http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_849530.html William Shatner to release new album William Shatner has recorded a new album featuring a guest appearance by US punk legend Henry Rollins. Shatner, who played Captain James T Kirk in the original TV series of Star Trek, has also enlisted Joe Jackson and US country star Brad Paisley to guest on the album. The album will be produced by Ben Folds, leader of the Ben Folds Five, reports the New York Post. Shatner is generally acknowledged as having recorded the worst ever version of a Beatles' song. He released his spoken word cover of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds in 1968. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 14:34:47 -0600 From: "Jay Lyall" Subject: X-mas mixing Not sure if anyone else is into the DJ mix scene, but I found myself getting addicted to it while in Amsterdam and London. Well, for those that are, this is a pretty cool Christmas video mix for some London disco. I like the Beatles/Beasties mix up. http://www.eclecticmethod.net/mix/ Cheers Jay - ---------------------------------------- Jay Lyall - Houston, Texas "Those who are willing to lose some of their essential liberties in favour of security deserve neither and will lose both." - Thomas Jefferson http://www.clark04.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 12:01:19 -0800 From: Eb Subject: And...Kansan makes the inevitable A-OK conclusion http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=20031223103425.19924.00000752%40mb-m01.aol.com&output=gplain OK...out of all Kansan's delusional posts, this may be the all-time winner!!

It reminds me of the infamous "Fis", who became convinced he was Hitler (or, that the voice of Hitler came from a toilet, commanding him to flush cygnets down it). He started posting messages saying such to various Judaism newsgroups. After being banned from every online service, I believe he spent some time in a place of secure seclusion.
