I admire Stevie for her dress sense not just because she looks amazingly good but also because she doesn't follow anything else than her own mind. What did trigger that comment on the Rumours list was my own statement that Anne Marie is the only one besides Stevie who is able to grab your heart and twist it around with only looking at you (from onstage that is) - -- Yngve ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 15:22:06 EST From: Wmvrrvrrmm@aol.com Subject: Re: RE: [VS] New live album in april...

I think that the photo of the group that fLip mentioned somewhere in the Velvet Belly Guestbook, I can't recollect the name of the magazine, but I found Waterstone's last copy of it, but in my desire tonm interpret things with paranoiac creativity, the way the men were standing behind Anne Marie with their eyes closed, I felt that they could be like angels from the film listening in on her mind. I'm presently trying to paint a virtual painting of her as an Ambient Maiden, it'll be quite a while before it is finished. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 15:22:07 EST From: Wmvrrvrrmm@aol.com Subject: Re: [VS] 'Easy' single on Virgin's CD lists Well, I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before, but it seems that the Velvet Belly single has found it's way onto Virgin's computerised lists at last, but there's no information about when they'll have it in stock! I haven't asked HMV or Tower records about what they know yet. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 23:06:36 +0100 (CET) From: Yngve Hauge Subject: Re: [VS] 'Easy' single on Virgin's CD lists > Well, I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before, but it seems > that the Velvet Belly single has found it's way onto Virgin's > computerised lists at last, but there's no information about when > they'll have it in stock!

I'll do that soonish as I know that they actually will play the music looking at their playlist. Just as I remember it ... all info regarding new releases or upcoming concerts outside Norway will be posted to the Ecto mailinglist and now also to the Rumours list. Not the general discussions of course. Someone interested in giving me a hand doing a webpage with general info for this list? It will be set up at smoe.org I assume (I'll have to ask Jeff about that though) - -- Yngve ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 17:21:48 EST From: Wmvrrvrrmm@aol.com Subject: Re: [VS] 'Easy' single on Virgin's CD lists In a message dated 6/1/00 10:06:43 pm, onealien@mo.himolde.no writes: >Someone interested in giving me a hand doing a webpage with general >info for this list?
