(all those of you who have e-mailed me for copies, i'll get back to you i promise!) anyway, that song you mentioned was x-walk. they played it at their last show at the fez. they also played some more new songs, including quitter, which is to date my very favorite rasputina song. it's true that melora's voice has been getting much stronger. especially on that orphanage song. i hate the knitting factory. a lot. every time i've seen a show there i wasn't able to see for shit. but, then again, i'm a short little girl who is a bit too timid to push her way to the front. so. whatever. i really liked azalia snail. i have a few of their 7"s and i know a lot of people who really hate them. i liked the footage they showed. anyway. if anyone still wants a copy of my boot, lemme know. - -caroline p.s. how disappointed was i that they didn't cover britney spears for their encore? ------------------------------ End of goths-digest V4 #61 **************************
