(Those Bartok quartets wear thin real fast, Remmers. No arguing
about taste, I guess.) Anyway, here's my list of faves:
The Arrhythmics -- BaDaBing
Bjork -- 2 Creepy 2 Shag
Bony Lass -- Tyranorexia
Drilled Privates -- Guess I'm Gonna Say You Raped Me
Richard Goldin -- Dance Like A Somebody
Hole -- Cover It With Leaves And Hope Somebody Falls In
Junky Humpers -- AIDS SchmAIDS
Lamerthal -- Chat This
Octogenarian Denture -- Too Straight, Too White, And Way Too Many
The Skin Tags -- Burn It Off
Zeitwad -- All Over You

Hmmm. Now, why did that come out double spaced like that?
So much for the new computera and terminal software.

And why is BackTalk moving along so quickly this afternoon? (I usually give up
and go away.) I should come around more often.

COOL!! I just read, copied, pasted, edited and uploaded, and it only took me a
minute or two. I take back every mean thought I ever thought about BackTalk,
and I apologize for using this as a test conference.

(77 and 78 suggest a new item: the weirdest album titles/artist names
ever seen)

Thanks, Michael. That reminds me of one of the best items of all time,
the one you started in the M-Net Music Conference titled "Alternative
to What?"

(remmers suspects that md's opinion of Bartok's quartets is
about as real as his album titles...)

Alternative to what.. a question I myself have asked many a time. Alternative
*is* mainstream.

hmmm.. Lemme see. I guess I'd bring:
Enya - Watermark
Bare Naked Ladies - Gordon
Enigma - The Cross of Changes
Eric Serra - The Fifth Element soundtrack (I just picked it up yesterday, and
I love it already)
J.S. Bach - Toccata in Fugue in D minor
Jewel - Pieces of You (I can't help it. I've been listening to Jewel long
before she was overplayed on the radio. I suppose it helps that I don't listen
to the radio very often.:)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (No pun intended)
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Tchaikovski - The Nutcracker Suite
Cat Stevens - Greatest Hits
Van Morrison - Greatest Hits
Thats about All I can think of right now.

It's also on a compilation called "Best of Mtv's 120 Minutes: Never Mind the
Mainstream Vol. 1". I love those tapes!

re #58: It's because the smaller CD (what is it, 3"?) has never really got
on, Ken. European recording labels have sometimes used them, but it's
extremely uncommon. Last time I saw one was for a Republica single.

I've often wondered why they use full-sized CD's for singles, but never
realized that they sometimes don't

Materials cost is miniscule for pressing a CD.
For the 3" CDs, any savings in the raw materials was more than made up
for by difficulty in handling -- you had to mount them in adapters
unless you had a top-loading player -- storage, etc. And then there
was the overhead in making a CD of a different physical size.
3" CD singles are thoroughly dead in the USA. I think a few still
pop up in Japan, and maybe in Europe.

I see them once in a while at Tower as a single. They're usually mounted
on long cards, way bigger than pocket size. I wonder why?

I bought a 3" CD EP by a group that I never heard of at the time,
They Might Be Giants, because of the irony of giants being in such a
tiny package. Is it a high price collector item yet?

I dunno, but judging by the band it's probably some cool music...might as well
hang onto it for awhile
