I found out yesterday, but I've been busy... they say it will also be the WORLD DEBUT of the new single. (for FOP one guesses...) I am sceptical on the world debut bit, but you never know... anyways to a friend of mine I told something to: see I wasnt lying!!! got elliot smith on my radio (well, cd player...) at the mo. and he rocks in a very low key way. whattatalent. also: I saw CUBE on the weekend. It's prolly on video in the states by now, but in australia go to your local arthouse/independent cinema (dendy in Brisbane) and check it out. Avoid if you're claustrophobic. some of the dialogue is cliched and a couple of the actors are sucky, but david hewlitt is greeeeat. Just proves that intelligent, restrained men are sexy as all hell. Good looks dont matter, it's all that quiet, wise intensity that got me and my friend, people. mmmmm. anyways I love the way I can hear the good word on films, music and whatever thru the net, cool place this. and check out sinforosa's site- very beautiful. am dressed very trendily in a renaissance come hipster style top/and short jacket. plus I have my hair cut by one hayden (no longer an adult hairstyle dan.... . actually on haircuts: there's nothing greater for the soul than being pandered to by a couple sweetie attractive male hairdressers: love that scalp massage. (my hair is soft, light and curly right now...) no wonder my chi is good. kisses and a scalp massage to y'all tavia 'got ben folds on my radio' 'got adam duritz on my bedroom wall' got one sexy hair cut, dammit ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 21:05:52 -0700 From: Stacy Lynn Subject: college radio Ok.
