The i-zone uses the same sort of technology as other current Polaroids - -- self-contained picture packets like the Spectra or 600. The peel apart stuff is still available and very popular for image transfers. Polaroid has these very cool giant format (20x24) cameras they rent out to artists that use peel apart film. On the digital vs. film front, I have to say I take a ton more pictures with my digital. The last time I used my film camera was to shoot slides of some drawings for a competition, and that was only because I had to. I still don't think film is in any danger of becoming obsolete with professionals and snooty amateurs. The camera shops here in Detroit definitely have a film bias, some of them carry very little along the lines of digital accessories.

This is very common practice. If the writers involved want to be involved in a project that likely will not even meet costs, let alone turn much of a profit, they often agree to these type of arrangements in order to see the larger work realized and have their portion of it out there for people to read and to get exposure for possible future solo work that might turn a profit.

Rumors = of a Robert Harrison solo album have been circulating since CM's demise = awhile back. Here's the latest report: "YES there is a solo album. They have finished tracking and it is=20 being mixed as we speak. Apparently, there is enough material for a=20 double album or two separate albums. RH is trying to decide what to=20 do about releasing the material. One of the songs is a grand sing- along with the entire crew that worked on the tracks gathered in one=20 room. The material is very Cotton Mather-ish and may, in fact, be too=20 close for it to be called a RH solo album. So there is a possibility=20 of it being a final "cotton mather" release. The songs are AWESOME and will be well worth the wait whenever they=20 are finally released!! The vibe of the album could well be compared=20 to Sgt. Peppers, if you wanted to get an idea of its sound." Well, that sounds good to me--let's hope the album sees the light of day = sometime soon. love, B songs from the disco infernal: www.davidbowie.com/users/bjskaught/index.html Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

Strangely a review copy turned up at work today addressed correctly to the organisation but to a person we've never heard of! As our work takes us nowhere near music we were somewhat mystified.
