She said she didn't like the way it sounded. I hope that isn't sour grapes. I don't think the sound is bad, I think it's just that she and her band hadn't gotten there yet, so to speak--like 'til Tuesday's first album or early Game Theory. I think it's worth having if you are a completist, and like to hear an artist's beginnings. It's a long way from Econoghost. - --Mark **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?

Many thanks for spending the time on this, Robert.

I know that Loudfans doesn't have political content like it used to have, and why that is, I don't know, because there are a lot of bright people on here, but would someone please give me a good reason why these financial institutions should get bailed out?

Unless the bailout includes those conditions (at least), it's a big mistake and will only result in the swift disappearance of $700 billion from the pockets of our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. - -- Matt + For great wrongdoing there are great punishments from the gods.

In fact, I can't remember a period in my life where it was more inescapable everywhere (workplace, mainstream media, even gas lines this past weekend, though the latter was more of a Nashville thing). I rather enjoy my Internet time being a refuge from all that. If I wanted to talk politics on the Internet, there's no shortage of places on the Internet dedicated to politics where I could voluntarily engage in such activities.

Unlike Game Theory, Til Tuesday actually had hit singles before they found their footing. I could only imagine if Game Theory's sound would have changed much had they had a big pop crossover hit. (Or 1 major and 2 minor hits as Til Tuesday ended up with.) - --- On Wed, 9/24/08, Markwstaples@aol.com wrote: > I don't think the sound is bad, I think it's just > that she and her band hadn't > gotten there yet, so to speak--like 'til Tuesday's > first album or early Game > Theory.
