A list stuff - please send *tracks* -not- LPs (to me at cngrannell@yahoo.com and the list if you want, I guess) I'm compiling the LP 'A' list from the tracks I get! Current leaders: Ahead, I Should have Known Better. Top LP at the mo' is 154 closely followed by two or three others. As for the Euro Swim~ tour - apparently the UK date wasn't a live event, bar Lobe. Colin and Malka (+Rob from R&C) DJ'd and that's it. Still wanted to go but had unchangable other plans :( Ah well, maybe they'll play live in Italy or something.

So I'm thinking that the next project will be to get more guitar tablature on it. There already is a handful of songs, mostly early stuff. So if you know how to play a song or are willing to figure one out, please do so and email the tab to me. People have sent me stuff in the past, but now I want to make a concerted effort to get some serious transcribing going! And don't worry about mistakes - the first draft is always the hardest. Speaking of which, my version of "Fragile" is definitely wrong. But I got so sick of replaying the song that I said hell with it. If anyone wants to salvage what I did, please be my guest!
