Average size is 8kb each. Any chance the powers-that-be can possibly make each digest contain more posts? A coupla years back the digests always used to be around 30kb each. Just a comment, I'm not a computer boff, so maybe it aint viable.

I have a feeling it's not Americans with >Disabilities Act, since EATB are British and certainly don't have >any disabilities! ;-) Heehee...no it stands for Alternative Distribution Alliance. WEA created it to help Time Warner get away from the controversy of some of the product they were distributing at the time...ie Ice -T/Body Count (Cop Killer). Now, most of the old Sire and Beggars Banquet artists (EATB, Bauhaus, Icicle Works, The Cult, Cocteau Twins, etc) are distributed through them, as well as a lot of Comedy Central product, even though it all belongs to WEA on paper. Some Sire acts, like Depeche, got transferred to Reprise, which is still considered maintstream enough for WEA. They basically have little interest in dumping any promotion funds into ADA artists...which is something I am constantly bitching about. Lotta good it does, huh? Missie Yahoo!

Just goes to show But, as I said on VT, there is always the other end of the spectrum, such as Fine Young Cannibals covering Ever Fallen In Love. Personally, I cannot stand Seal's bland music, but (again, as has already been said) if it gets the band yet more exposure then it's got to be a good thing. I would hope that he reworks it to make something completely different to the original. Covers that just sound like the original band with a different vocalist are just pointless, in my opinion. Yet again, I have already mentioned this on VT, but the recent Ramones tribute album is a case in point. Eddie Vedder's cover of I Believe In Miracles is pointless, for the above reason, but Rob Zombie's radical reworking of Blitzkreig Bop is awesome, as is the Chili's Havana Affair.
