Well, chin up, Bucky!! Get thee to thy local comic book shop, Kevin. You've probably heard that young master Whedon is continuing Buffy as a monthly comic called "BtVS: Season Eight". Issue 18 came out this month, with a great cover showing Dawn in her second transmogrification--I seem to recall that she's due for a third before the season concludes. More importantly for you, though, is that one of your heart's desires sorta makes a guest appearance in the October issue, and will be featured in the amazing cover, as well. And let me take this opportunity to state that the woman who has done the covers for most of the Season Eight issues--Jo Chen--is hands-down my favorite artist in comics these days. Oh yeah--I believe that I've read in the comic's letters column that your other fave may be popping up one of these days, too. Maybe it's time for you to subscribe to the blasted thing...

(BTW, that wasn't you standing near the stage that night, was it?) _jewels for sophia_ is up and down for me: the songs i love, i *really* love, and the others seem below-standard hitchcock. "no, i don't remember guildford" would probably be in my top 10, if i kept a top 10. robyn writes about the past and memories in a way that breaks my heart a way, and i think that's the song where he really gets to the heart of the matter, e.g.: "But no, I don't remember Jenner Road Even though we lived there And things came through the letterbox thick and fast It's in the past It's in the bracken" i love the denial in the "no" following by recollection (BTW, i read the archives for quite a time before i joined the list. and it was when i read a discussion about the interpretation of the lines "Now there's a butterfly on my face / And I'm a number in a drawer" when i realized these folks meant business. ISTR that someone had actually asked robyn about it.) The other two I love are "viva sea-tac" and "nasa clapping". "nasa clapping" i would love just for the title (it's just so evocative) but i like the rest of it, too. and it has the beautiful lines: "Buzz Aldrin took me by the arm And said one day that I'd be rich I think he meant that I was gonna be your lover in his lifetime" but it's not all fun and games: "i feel beautiful" really annoys me (way too hippie), the lines that go "dark dark dark princess" i always heard as "duck duck duck princess" (like a variation on "duck duck goose"), and i hate when an album ends on a jokey song. i might have this wrong, but isn't _jewels for sophia_ eddie's "are you on crack?"

Hm: I really love a couple of the songs ("Mexican God" I think is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard, "I feel beautiful" speaks very clearly to me, hippy or no, and "Jewels for Sophia") and like several others a lot ("Cheese Alarm", "Viva Sea-Tac"...

David's post earlier wasn't really spoilerific, but it wandered near that territory, so I thought this reminder might be in order.) Secondly, I usually like both Jo Chen's and Georges Jeanty's covers. Collect them all!
