I'm still here, just quiet. In fact, I'm here: http://www.backsideoftheorb.com/rach.jpg (That's me with Smiley from my trip to London, but I'm sure you'll all recognize him.)
And just to make sure there's some music talk: I got my copy of the new System 7 - Live cd yesterday... its fantastic!
Wow, Rachel, you're sporting some nice shades there. Smiley looks exactly as I pictured. I picked up the new Amon Tobin the other day and it's good. I would have picked a different song from "out from out where" to remix myself, but hey, beggars can't be choosers. It's solid work all around. I think I'll order that System 7 disc today. It's exciting to see these older bands that got me started into electronica coming back. Too bad I was so severely disappointed by the Future Sound of London disc not too long ago. It was good, but it's not quite what I had hoped for. ---- Mark Schieldrop Reporter, The Narragansett Times mark@schieldrop.net
