What surprised me most is that the Brazilian CD has 13 tracks, with the B-side of the Sunny single (Thats What I Get Paid For) as track number 10. Did it also happened anywhere else ? We sometimes get bonust tracks because track listings sometimes come from Japan. Do we have other non-American members on the list to confirm ? Can anyone explain the reason why a B-side is included in a CD that is supposed to be stored in the back of shelves everywhere around here ?

I saw a show of Celine's in Montreal one summer last year. She is very nice, very sweet, and very humorous. I gave her flowers as well, I also got an autographed picture back. No matter if you hate her or love her, there is absolutely no denying that she is incredibly talented. She is definitely one of the best singers out there. ~*~Jess~*~ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.

Last year I had way too much free time on my hands in high school, so I ended up in an odd half-correspondance and collected 4 copies of nearly every promotional shot of Ani. I never heard from Difranco herself, but... what can I say, it kept me entertained. (sigh... those were the sad days before email offered a daily dose of fan-feed.) --Anna I just have to put this in; it's a winner from the "Haiku Error Messages" contest: A file that big?
