He was going on how they seemed to be getting gloomier and gloomier. "What about the last one", he said "Don't Come Home Too Soon. What's next one going to be called. Don't Even Bother Packing?" Well I thought it was funny. And it was a sort of Dels mention.

Nasty stuff. They made me do it in 2nd grade in school too. Awful, green watered-down stuff. This kid swallowed some once and vomited across his desk.

Ladies and gentleman, start your downloads. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will rule Monday whether to reinstate a lower court's preliminary injunction that would shut Napster down. The court took on Napster's appeal of a U.S. district judge's shut-down order in July and allowed the service to stay in operation. A three-judge panel has been reviewing arguments from the file-sharing service and its opponents, the five major record labels and the RIAA. Even if it doesn't shutter Napster, the decision - to be announced by the San Francisco court Monday at 11 a.m. PT - will clear the way for a trial to determine whether Napster violates copyright law, as the labels claim. BMG, one of the so-called "big five" labels, and its parent company, Bertelsmann AG, have entered into an agreement to drop BMG's lawsuit if the label and Napster can work together to create a subscription-based service that would pay royalties to labels and their artists. In January, indie label TVT Records dropped its suit and decided to work with the file-sharing service. Representatives for Napster and its lawyer, David Boies, had no comment Friday (February 9). A spokesperson for the RIAA was unavailable at press time. In operation less than two years, Napster has grown to serve more than 30 million users. - - Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 11:17:40 -0600 From: "Phil Denson" Subject: OV: Swish SWISHHHHH...is the sound you make when you make a basketball go through the net without touching the rim...SWISHHHHH ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 14:44:22 -0500 From: "Susan & C.

It made my day to know that the Dels are at work. And, thanks to Iain for making the effort to give interested fans an insight into the status of the project. I, for one, am game for as much of this stuff as the band has time and stomach to generate. I'll probably be the last to be bored with techno-jargon and trivialities. Please keep it comin'- Here's to World Tour '01, may there be many dates all over the globe.

I think it's series one they crop up on, I have it on video somewhere so will confirm. They only appear in the closing credits, playing 'food for songs' which breaks down when Paul Whitehouse asks them if anyone fancies a pint - I think... It's been a while sonce I've seen it, I've never been quite sure why they went to the trouble of turning up for about 30 seconds or so, I don't believe they even get to say anything. I seem to remember that Level 42 (!) turn up in one episode doing the same thing. Hope this helps Warren Saunders _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 12:27:59 -0800 From: Darren Holmquist Subject: OV: NWIA Spent this morning at KLRR-FM (local radio station...) for reasons unimportant, but. I'm becoming friends with the program director kind of by accident. Well, this morning I brought the discussion round to Dels, and he's going to add Not Where It's At to their current play list. He said they played it when it was released, but when they switched over to their current system, they lost their library and he had to rebuild it. And that was one that he didn't get around to playing again. He also said he was going to add Be My Downfall as kind of a filler track. Not in any kind of rotation, but just as the odd song the jocks can pull every now and again. They're already playing Driving With The Brakes On, Roll To Me, and Always The Last To Know. Infrequently, but that's better than nothing! Anyway, that's my bit of Dels news.... Peace, Darren ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 22:47:07 -0000 From: "Jane Armstrong" Subject: OV: Re: Re: The Fast Show Thanks Warren - I'll have to buy a series one video. As former Del David Cummings was a mate of Paul Whitehouse, and has written for the Fast Show since leaving the band (and is currently working on a new series with him) it was probably just a favour for a mate.

I've been involved on this level in person in a studio with other bands, none as successful as the Dels as of yet and I love seeing it from their point of view! I am excited by the fact that they are in Teaneck NJ too. My family lives in Jersey. How long will they be there, any idea how long this will take and how long they have the studio time reserved? I have some work to do, I want to find out more about The Commissioner, the studio, etc. what'dya know, gang?

They were hoping to return at the end of February with the finished product. I have had a quick look on the net but haven't found anything on Commissioner Gordon - and there is a Teaneck site but no mention. He has apparently produced Lauryn Hill and Macy Gray.
