~Do you what my stance is?


>Everything from then on has been icing.

~Agreed.  Each and every single release or concert from this band is truly a 
special thing, one that might be the last.  Anyone who was in nyc in October 
99 knows just how "here one day, gone the next" this thing truly is.
Agreed also on the cherries with gravy thing.


>Anyway, I'm just glad to hear that there is a new album.  From the four 
>tracks that we've heard, I know it's a doozie.

~Well i'm glad that you're glad, but do you really know there IS an album, 
or that you'll see it in (another) seven months?  A lot of folks around here 
were glad over a year and a half ago too, but.....

At the risk of soiling even more people's Wheaties, i'll hold off on 
discussing the relative merits of the 4 tracks that are out there.


>Remember that they don't owe us anything,

~Well, i don't owe you anything either, but would you rather i kept 
promising to send you a cdr of an awesome 1988 show, for month after month 
after month, but every time kept making an excuse and promising you it would 
be in the mail very soon?

Or would you rather just not hear anything, including the original offer?  
Think about it.


>including an explanation for the delay-though they have still kept us 
>informed through the whole process.

~Pls don't take me wrong - i'm not slamming the band.  As you said, it will 
indeed take as long as it takes.  I've just grown a little weary of all this 
"information", and it's all beginning to kinda look and sound the same to 
me.  You'll pardon me if i've had it up to here with labelspeak.


>Let's just be thankful that there was ever a band this damn good in the 
>first place.

~Part of me wants to clap ya on the back and shout HELL yeah!, cos i do feel 
that way, but the other uhhhhh smaller part wants to ask you how you'd feel 
if you were told you could never eat ice cream again. Ever. No icing, no 
cherries, not even gravy.
