Hello, everyone. I am just really e-mailing to e-mail...I'd like to hear off list from Jane and from Nigel...please let me know how you are doing. Also, when is Justin's album coming out? (Sorry...I don't mean Timberlake I haven't even listened to the Dels much lately...I don't know why but I need to dig some stuff out. I drove home tonight through a horrible snow storm that I wasn't expecting. A 30 minute trip turned into an hour...I know...not SO bad but at 1:00 a.m. and with my 11 year old, I wanted to get home. I was literally driving with the brakes on the entire time! (waa waa waa waaaah....) Hope to hear from some of you! Also, interested to hear of any new music you are all listening to. As a few of you know, I am a big Neil Finn fanatic and was APPALLED (sp) when I heard the cover of Fall at Your Feet by James Blunt. It was absolutely horrible. I mean, No Doubt covered one of my favorite songs (It's My Life) and I was mildy offended...not because I think Gwen can't sing or that she's not a really cute preggie, but that NO DOUBT covered TALK TALK - - blashpheme! Okay, I know I'm a psycho...The thread eventually developed into a discussion regarding a certain Crowded House song (Black and White Boy if any of you care) which was used in a football ad. I found it "personally offensive" that anyone "unworthy" would be able to hear such a beloved song [to me] and it sparked quite a feedback. Any thought to Dels songs being used for such stuff? Also, James Blunt...I think he is atrocious but any thoughts are welcome. I love this list and any discussions we have are always enjoyable and I must say, a bit nicer than the CH list. Some of them were really mean to me!!! (Imagine that, Nigel???) Please let me hear from you guys. Much, much love (and thankful to be in out of the snow!).
