Thanks, I'm leaning so much computer stuff already thanks to people around here. Now I'm going to start learning German. And Del Amitri thought they were just making music! :) Cris. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2001 23:09:56 -0800 From: Darren Holmquist Subject: OV: Interscope This was posted to the Patty Griffin mailing list. Thought it was interesting.... Hey, Everyone! I was at an in-studio Suzanne Vega performance yesterday and noticed a gentleman that used to work for the now-defunct Mercury Records. I asked him what he was doing these days, and he said he was working for Interscope, to which I replied, "You guys aren't making ANY friends in the Patty Griffin camp." He laughed, knowingly, and said that all of their artists are trying to leave them, especially Sting.I thought this was pretty interesting.... ------------------------------ End of oppositeview-digest V3 #278 **********************************
