No, it's not. The multitude of mints is astounding. Someone once asked what the difference between 'peppermint' and 'spearmint'. I told him one tastes like pepper and one tastes like spear. Sheesh, it's not like it's that hard to tell the difference! Or perhaps I'm just a mint snob? > I thought l`il dan was the name of someone's penis, like little elvis. 'Little Elvis'?

On the Tori J-File in '98, Richard Kingsmill spoke about the duet Tori did with Michael Stipe, and said something like "we couldn't find it... If anyone has a copy and you wanna play it down the phone to us, give us a call". LMAO. How dumb. No one has heard that baby. Stupid DJ's really ought to do their research a lil more carefully.

Well, the buns go back to Eostre really, so it's just the cross that's Christian. And Eostre is linked to spring, so in reality the shops are a little late, or extremely early.

Well don't shoot me, but when I got PJ Harvey's "Is This Desire?", I listened to it once (with headphones - - but half of it was spent reading a magazine or something because I just thought the songs were shit) and "put it away" for about 6 months before I even gave it a second listening. I thought it was *that* bad. And now, even though it gets about an annual spin, I like it. Cum 2 think of it, I hardly ever listen to PJ's CD's in full.. She's more of a "singles artist" (lol - well in the sense I listen to her stuff mostly 1 strack at a time) for me. Similar story with Kate Bush's first 2 albums, 'The Kick Inside' and 'Lionheart', and her most "recent" (sic) album, 1993's "The Red Shoes".

Arrrrgh - Scores - not "soundtracks" with an annoying collection of songs (half- if ever) related to the movie. I don't think I have ever bought ONE of those types of soundtracks - even the Tori-included ones - they're just usually filled with so much CRAP.

That sentence woulda read more interestingly had you added a "my" before Dummy, and replaced "the player" with "my mouth" ;) > Actually, has anyone been listening to something and > found they couldn't > really take it out of the player... I listened to Suzanne Vega's 'best of' "Tried and True" about 16 times in 3 days when I got it. Quickly overkilled it.

Favourite song "Sour Times (Nobody Loves Me)" Airbus Reconstruction from the Sour Times single... (They played that version live) No orchestra... would have been AWESOME though. Adrian Utley did some AMAZING guitar stuff... I had a bad experience - which I have related here before about these complete WANKSHAFTS who pushed their way to the front (I was at the front - standing just behind one person - it had to be the tallest person in Brisbane though!) and they pushed their way to the front - three of them these stupid drunk louts - 2 guys and 1 woman - looked like they were fresh from the local Leagues club and proceeded to with a VB in one hand 'mosh' or just jump around a lot - in amongst all these people... Everyone was so pissed off around them - but didn't really do anything - except one younger guy pushed them - and then the head lout tried to fight him - this is in the middle of a PH concert!! He was too drunk to do much - then inbetween songs - this was great everyone that was affected by these people (been trod on - pushed etc) all started to yell at them to GET lost - there was about 20 people just yelling at these complete dropkicks to get lost... they sorta hung around then pushed their way to the back again - everyone was really please! Fuckwits with too much money and nothing better to do - fucking up everyone's Portishead experience.
