But no more. Sigh. Putting our collective heads together I'm sure we could come up with a pretty accurate picture. We could all send in what we know and have someone collect them. Apryl, do you want to be the point person for collecting the information? When the god-shiva page goes up, we could put the discography up there and Apryl (or whoever wants) could maintain it as the "official God-Shiva discographer, (with a link from their homepage) or we could just put up a link to it on someone else's page. Of course, I'm getting ahead of myself. We just gotta put the damn thing together first. I'm keeping a list of the ICQ #s people are posting, and eventually will either put it up on a site or, to protect privacy, set up some automailer where people could get the info by email if they're a member of God-Shiva. If you have ICQ send it this way.
