CD! check out her website, web community and you can listen to samples of her music at her website http://www.terami.com xoxo dan ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2002 17:36:26 +1000 From: "Renee Hill" Subject: [oztori] aria charts for some weirdass reason, SLG has re-entered the chart at 49.... what the? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Apr 2002 18:33:17 +1000 From: Jonceski Jasmina Subject: Re: [oztori] OT really dumb question Kate, Firstly, there are no stupid questions. Only stupid answers. :) (how many times have you been told that ;)) Secondly, do you have any idea how close you are to me. It is quite mind boggling (not really, i just like that phrase :P) Belconnen mall is down the street, the footy stadium is down the street, Tilleys is also mighty close too. (all kinda in walking distance, if you like walking :P) Pity I'm not in Canberra at that time.

Erm, nope. "Numb" was commerically only released as a video single. Dumb idea, yes.

Yesterday is the first time I've listened to 'Not Pretty Enough' all the way through (it always seems to play when I'm on the inter-campus uni bus and I'm always thinking "I ought to track that down sometime so I can hear the whole thing.") and ended up playing the mp3 all night.

Yes it charted at #7 *after* Zooropa had been out a few weeks.. and didn't stick around for long though because it was a video only release. You would have expected it to debut at #1 had it: a) been out before Zooropa, b) been available on CD/cassingle... but it didn't. (Um the fact that it sucked probably also wasn't a helping factor) me *KNOWS* I'm right :) I clearly remember it being so at the time.

(which would explain tori)...he also said things like "atlantic doesn't want to help people build careers only make $$$" He said that he was lucky to get out while only having a 2 record contract with them...and that he felt bad for others who were released the same time as him who had been with atlantic for years and forced to make "like 5 records with them" (tori?) He then went on to make fun of Britney Spears,Creed,Rikki Martin and Nsync....I do hope I can get a mp3 of this somehow...not that I would know how! - ------------------------------------------------------- Interesting.
