The Maffia, of course, being Tackhead by any other name - Doug Wimbish, Skip Macdonald and Keith LeBlanc. ))) That's gas - I was just listening to them as I read this mail... the excellent Learning To Cope With Cowardice LP from about 83 (I think). I've never been able to track it down on CD. Tired of searching, I just dumped my cassette copy of a friends vinyl on to the hard drive and burned me a CD, which I then popped on the Pod for peripatetic plays. I particularly like Liberty City, The Paranoia Of Power, and the wonderful dub take on Jerusalem. Stunning. In my mind right now because they're playing a couple of gigs in early June in London and Bristol (their first performances as the Maffia for about 13 years I reckon) and I'm on bloody holiday in Devon. ))) God I wouldn't 'alf like to see 'em... bad luck Keith...

Just like I never came across any Popgroup CDs. I do have almost their entire catalogue on vinyl, but what good does that do me without a recordplayer? Btw, any Brit has a video recording of "We are all Prostitutes". It was shown as part of the "Music of the Millenium" series from Channel 4 T.V. in the UK. Apparently it was chosen by Nick Cave as his song of the millenium.

Are we talking about the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Movie? If so, Douglas Adams wrote a number of screenplays - none of which were ever "green lighted" by a studio. Douglas had started yet another revision when he passed away - this version was not complete. Karey Kirkpatrick - the screenwriter for Chicken Run - was hired to finish this final screenplay. He actually worked from all of Douglas' previous versions plus his personal notes. You can read all about the adaptation effort here: http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/movienews/interview.html Cheers, Paul ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V8 #118 *******************************
