Matt's choice was Ocean Rain (two times through) and I asked if he meant the song or the album! I don't think I ever got an answer to that one, unless it's finally contained above, in which case the answer is far more satisfactory than eight minutes. - --- I normally just plug my iPod into the stereo. The 30GB version, of course.

Don't get much better than that...' Other mate I went with has put it top ten gigs he's ever been to and he's been to a lot. Can't tell you how good it was, I can barely hear today. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 09:59:42 -0400 From: "Chris Adams" Subject: Re: seven-seas un- Cool I think De Niro's been in a few good things over the past few years. Heat with Pacino was alright, and I dug Jackie Brown. And Midnight Run was funny (on an on-topic note, Mac says it's his favorite flick.) But mostly "Bob" seems to be getting paid to be a parody of himself these days. Watched Taxi Driver for, like, the 10th time the other day and it's still one of the best movies I've ever seen. - --Chris Adams "K.P.
