Ah, *that* explains the pause.  I was beginning to wonder what had
happened to you.  I'm only sorry that I can't identify either the
song or the singer.

Australia?  Oh, it may be a long time.  It's taking me all my planning
abilities (and craft of cozenage) to get to America.  I think the
Antipodes'll have to wait until I'm Rich and Famous (or until they
transport me for sheep-stealing).

Aha.  Of course, "rahat loukoum".  Silly me.

Bananarama?  Oh lord.

Now, if you'd said "Miranda Sex Garden", or "Shriekback", or "Diamanda
Galas", I might have let that pass.  But Bananarama?  Oh lord.

You may take any excuse or none to deluge me, just as long as you do so.
How much Tavener do you have?  (And would you like a cassette or two
of the stuff you haven't got?)

Tall, dark, wonderful wonderful nose, plays cello like he's about to
make it cum.   I wanna be his cello...

And his nose...

I don't think he is, y'know.  A combination of GLBO*dar and judicious
reading of sleeve-notes and dedications of pieces.

No.  Please, who is Tori Amos?

She read this article over my shoulder, smiling happily, and gave me a
warm hug to e-mit to you.   *HUG*
