Curious about that special edition IODOT live thingy: whichfegs' copies have arrived? I got a notice from 11spot or whatever on the 17th stating that my copy was being shipped first-class US Mail...but it hasn't arrived yet. Yep Roc's site says "5-7 days" - the 7th day would've been the 24th, but I'll assume heavier holiday volume might delay it a bit. So I'm thinking, if it's not here by Tuesday it's officially late. But a sense of when other US copies have arrived, if they have, would be useful. - - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.wordpress.com - ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V17 #298 ******************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:44:03 +0000 (UTC) From: michaeljbachman@comcast.net Subject: Fwd: train dreams delayed? - ----- "2fs" wrote: > From: "2fs" > To: "ventilator waders" > Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 12:00:28 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern > Subject: train dreams delayed? > > Curious about that special edition IODOT live thingy: whichfegs' copies have > arrived?

It was in a store in Toronto last week. Didn't buy it. Probably won't, as IODOT is one of my least-listened albums.

I believe mine came yesterday (it's my Christmas/Hanukkah present, so I was thrown out of the room when my husband opened the package). My son's Higgs Boson particle also arrived (http://www.particlezoo.net/individual_pages/shop_higgsboson.html). The wishlists keep getting weirder.

The wishlists keep getting weirder. Sorta like giant microbes . - - Steve __________ There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs. - Kung Fu Monkey ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2009 16:09:20 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: train dreams RECEIVED Mine arrived today as well. So: has anyone bothered assembling the whatsit? I figure someone will eventually put up a video on YouTube, saving me the trouble of destroying the packaging and probably getting it wrong...

Is one song referring to and maybe parodying the other? Or just two different songs with a line in common? Similar question about "I Watch the Cars" and "Roadhouse Blues".
