I've been away for the holidays and I had the flu for a while, so I hope you'll pardon me if I've overlooked anything so far, concerning the Betty-site... To me, it's very strange. I mean, would 4AD really write a press-release saying "..a cut-back in the more experimental artists on the label in favour of more mainstream artists like kristin hersh and throwing muses"???? When did Throwing Muses become mainstream, and how the hell would 4AD EVER be able to admit that they've started to go chartPop? The name of the new record is a teaser tho, cos long before "Slide" was released, the 4AD database Eyesore said that the working title for "Slide" was "La".. Kinda creepy.. - - S ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.

Not to mention the obvious fact that Throwing Muses have been broken up for some time now, dropped by 4AD. I think almost everything in that bio is total fiction. That or the names have been changed to protect the innocent. - -Chris ===== "Appearances matter. In the question of sanity, you were allowed to pretend. You were supposed to pretend.

Kristin Hersh made the decision to disband the Muses when she felt she and the other members could not afford to continue financially. The band was never dropped by 4AD. - -- T. - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.
