Maybe the $9.99 price it was/is going for at JB Hi-Fi (though I think this is a Vic only store?). Or maybe Dan Stapleton got a job in a record store, and scanned a million copies illegally to make it re-enter that "high" ;) > What was it before it was #49? Probably #4683409680965809684.

Yeah the video version of AIFOL is pretty goode. But still, I don't wish to ever listen to 40 minutes of 'remixes' of some song. Ever. > I forgot to mention that a week or so ago, in the > Courier Mail - near the > comics section/horoscopes/shipping > times/weather/today in history... they > have a small picture and snippet of people who are > born on that day.

PS - found that Mariah postcard you sent me when fossicking through a drawer last night... heheeh made me laugh. and *slaps* Jas for not knowing who Sammie baby is! Where have you *been* childe!? ;) She was a British topless model-cum-singer (no pun intended) who had a #1 hit here and in the US (#3 in UK) with "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" in 1986. Followed up here by lesser hits "Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)", "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now", and "I Only Wanna Be With You". She was rather known for her breasts at the time ;) She was the kind of person your friend's older teenage brother had a topless 'poster' of her glued to their wall circa mid-late 80's.

I think the only dud on Homogenic is Alarm Call. > however, the remixes i have of alarm call and i miss > you are quite good, but > nayth is right in general about bjork mixes, most of > them suck. her b-sides > bore me stupid too, especially the icelandic ones, Yay I thought you were going to 'slam' me over the comment I made. Though admittedly I've never even heard some of the Post b-sides: Charlene, Sweet Intuition etc. Think I got burnt by how crappy the Debut ones were. "Glora" is the most pointless piece of 2 minutes ever committed to disc. Wow - Bjork playing a flute! I'd rather listen to her snore. > i think you will find that hidden place actually > made 40-something in > australia, and pagan poetry also made the top 100. "LMAO". No. Show me the proof. I've got the Top 100 singles charts consecutive from about October last year, and Pagan Poetry never made it. Hidden Place never made the top 50 either. Quite a pity really. The record (and especially singles) buying public at large have no taste. > as for singles previosu to that, i don't think many > wre released here - i > suspect bachelorette was last single released in oz > off homogenic... Yeah probably. Although Rage had the vids to Hunter and All is Full of Love (though not Alarm Call.. never seen that one). Though they got the vid to Hunter in July '98.. yet it wasn't out as a single in the UK till October that year?? Lavs wrote of New Age: > It's actually 'fucks'.

Lemme just say.. the Chicane/Bryan Adams one (Don't Give Up) didn't turn out too badly did it? And besides.. I'm ashamedly somewhat partial to some of Bri's choonz (Heaven, Thought I'd Died and Gone To Heaven).. hehehe. Although yeah he's a bland old fart. > ObTori: Who would you -not- want to see Tori do a > duet with? Kylie Minogue > (who is getting some airplay Stateside, and never > without a reference to > 'Locomotion') is pretty high on my list. I almost wonder when people are going to wake up and realise that Kylie still can't really sing. (gasp) Although it's not important these days I guess (and yeah Siobhan Fahey can't really sing either). Plus she needs to buy some clothes. Andrew R then suggested: > Tori and Maynard Keenan... Oh. ;o) Agreed! That guy was soooooooooo annoying on the RAINN vid (though the audience were much worse... and even Tori was pretty fucking annoying too.. heheeh). I don't think any of Tori's "duets" (well, she only has really with Robert Plant, and Tom Jones if you want to stretch it... and no, BT wasn't a "duet") work particularly well. And the Robert Plant one pretty much sucks (would be so much better if he wasn't on it). So I don't want her to duet with anyone. Although admittely, it's probably the only lame-ass project she didn't try to be free of Atlantic ;) Had she had another album to do to fulfill her contract, bet we woulda seen a "Duets" type schmalz thing.

It could be a little humourous (sp? yes I am subclinically dyslexic) - - since Tori *was* Homecoming Queen and all. Not as a duet, but I just decided tonight that I'd love to hear Tori cover "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees - and no, not a fucking "Heart of Gold"-style butcher, but an actual *decent* cover that stays true to the original 'cuz it's such a fab song.
