Thanks to everyone for info on the gee-tar issues.

As far as AENT, I finally bought an 'official' copy
tonight so the band could get it's money (I only had a
promo til now). It cost me $20!!! I went to seven
different stores in Dallas before finding someone that
was carrying it. I wonder how a band is supposed to
get record sales when there are no stores carrying the
cd; even when someone wants a copy badly you can
barely find it in a store - how is the casually
interested listener supposed to get it if they never
even see a copy?!? 

That album is just great... My only complaint is just
that it's too short. I'd like to hear Pete and Tim's
contributions to the album, kind of like the MATS Plus
version.

I also got A-ha's Minor Earth Major Sky today, so
thanks to everyone fo the recommendations on that.

FYI, Simple Minds has a new album coming out in the
next month or so - in case you haven't heard their
recent stuff, here's the run down: 1998 (?) saw
Neopolis released which was kind of blah IMO. 1999,
there was an album recorded called 'Our Secrets Are
the Same' which was great! Unfortunately, due to it's
being leaked onto the internet in mp3 form, it was
never released!!! Recently there was the cover cd to
'raise their profile' a little. Now there is a new
album called 'CRY' that is supposed to even blow away
the unreleased 'OSATS' album. A return to their old
style supposedly...
