How appropriate! I was considering putting on "Flow" as background music for
Halloween night... it frightened Kellee, so it will probably frighten some of
the other hundred or so little buggers who come begging for treats.  :)  John's
band's music may also be appropriate (ie. wedding music for the bride of
Frankenstein), so I better order from Marco now so I can get it before the end
of October.  :)

I tend to enjoy the goofy Halloween tunes, like "Monster Mash" and "Werewolves
of London"...


Marco reviewed Peter baby:

Isn't it "Digging in the Dirt" or are you referring to another song on the
album... and if so... does PG have some kinda dirt fetish?  ;)

I liked Michael's response to his friend describing _Us_ as so-so: "That means
it's twice as good as his last one".   :)

Marco, have you heard Daniel Lanois's album _Acadie_?  He works with Malcolm
Burn and Eno and it's nothing short of wonderful.  It includes a real cool tune
called "Ice" that makes me shiver.  :)

>        I wouldn't miss the chance to listen to this record, if I were you.

I've been a lookin' for it but without any luck... it hasn't arrived in shops
around here yet...  :(

Anybody have any comments on Sinead's latest?  I'm curious...

Happy Birthday John!  It's no wonder you're so wise... you're ancient!  ;)
Libby offers a Happy Birthday hug/groin rub -- she hopes you're not too old to
enjoy it... ;*)

I should have known that you hang out in toy stores, Russie.  ;)

Lemme ask you, since you're a dad of toddlers: What's your favorite Disney movie
soundtrack?  I'm caught between _The Jungle Book_ and _The Little Mermaid_. :)

I dunno... according to n.n., he's got another semi-useless appendage that is
more than likely to come to life overnight!  *giggle*

>  Or, you can just give up on that fusion crap and play some real music, like..

Yah... buy a bodhran!  We could be a skin banging duet!  ;)

Now I need music that will clear my sinuses... *sniff*
