I actually started a subgroup there to promote a 33 1/3 book on Underwater Moonlight, but thats kinda fallen flat since wed really like to get someone who can actually write to carry out the project. :) Im definitely interested in your project as well and would love to help. I think Robyn might be receptive to the idea. Hes been a lot more open and forthcoming recently, e.g. his Twitter feed and recent interviews, so it wouldnt be out of the question to approach him about it. He toured the album around five years ago so I suppose theres a lot of archived info you can gather as well. Cheers! - -tom On Sep 10, 2014, at 9:31 PM, Steven Sonoras wrote: > Dear fellow Fegs, > > I've been subscribed to the digest for a few years but I don't think I've > ever properly introduced myself.
