Why do the phrases "Overactive Hormones" and  "Get a Life" come to mind

	I heard on a local gay/lesbian/alternative radio show something about
Enya having undergone "gender reassignment".  Is this true?  Was enya once 
male?  Perhaps the people seeking "her" porno movies have been barking up the

Believe it or not, this CD is also available as a tape - all you have
to do is trot on down to your local store and pick it up for about $8 to 
$9. Then, not only would you have a complete listing of the songs, but
you would be able to sleep with a clear conscience, knowing that you 
are supporting one of your favorite artists.

Your point is moot. If you found him in alt.tasteless, then what wre you
doing there yourself? "Pete" is obviously a "bad person" in the alt.music.
enya context, and you are a "good one", yet both of you are hanging about
alt.tasteless.
 
If you were NOT hanging about but looking through "questionable" groups
(in your opinion of course, which is generally of no interest to other
people here I hope, unless it specifically has to do with Enya), just searching
for Pete's name, then you're alot more desperate and distressed than you think
he is. Plus, what's wrong with "alt.tasteless"? Its a matter of opinion as
I said, and I personally dont read it, but I don't deny people access to
other groups by flaming them and saying "DONT READ HIS POSTS! HE LIVES IN
ALT.TASTELESS!". Its the same thing as saying in soc.women "Dont read his
posts, he's been living in alt.sex.movies!". 
 
If you dislike Pete's posts, then thats your business. What other groups
he hangs out in is none of your business. You can post it here ifyou
would like to bore the rest of this group and continue the huge entertainment
volume thusly flowing, or you can shut up.

Hi, Everyone!

I don't normally read this newsgroup, but I do need some help from
someone (and I gather there are quite a few of you...)

Earlier this year, I taped my roommate's Shepherd Moons CD...
but didn't think to jot down the song names quickly so I would have
them for future reference.

Since my roommate and I are no longer at college, and since her CD
is packed and on its way to med school, I was wondering if anyone
could send me the list of the song names on Shepherd  Moons.



Thanks a lot! !t!

Well, I can answer one of those questions off the top of my head.  One of
the songs on "Triad" on the first album is called <Oisin> (sp?) who,
according to a fairy encyclopedia I own, was a fairy-lore type character
in the mythology/folktales of Ireland.  I am pretty sure some of the other
songs (including a few by Clannad) do have characters as well (Dan Y Dweor
(sp again, I do not have the album present)?).
Hope I could help.

Well, to get serious for a second, and this is the most serious I'm going
to be for a while, I'd just like to ask why the Hell the word "artist" 
is required in the new group name...?  Is this some attempt to elevate
the group above all of the other groups that are out there?  Ie. Yeah, 
all those other groups are just rec.music.xxxxx, but Enya is a true
ARTIST?

If you ask me, that's total bullshit.  I like Enya just fine myself,
think she's very talented (no matter what size her breasts are), etc.,
but r.m.a.enya as opposed to simply r.m.enya is rather elitist.  Why 
not just suggest that all of the other groups tack on .amateur.xxxxx
or .prolemusic.xxxxx?

It's just that attitude which is the pissoff, and the whole reason for the
big breast blowout.  If you stop taking yourself so seriously you just
may rediscover your sense of humour.  Chrissake, you're acting like my
grandparents.

I think this whole thread about Enya being nude is completely moot. If
she was in a porno or posed nude for the sole purpose of creating
gifs for this "pashdown" fellow to play with, then so be it. Many artists
have had less than holy pasts, and it doesn't matter to anyone but Enya.
 
Madonna is another person who has stood up for her sexuality, albeit she
took a long time to do so. She was smart though, she waited til she had the
requisite popularity, then suddenly made videos like Justify My Love and
got major record companies to sign bands that she thought were good.
Hopefully, she shocked some of her more simple-minded fans into reality. Maybe
we can get her online here to do some more net-social work.
 
I dont know why all you people are slagging off a great artist like
Madonna anyway. She's done alot for freedom of sexuality, as well as music.
 
And so has Enya. Just because you males have decided to hide yourselves in
this prissy newsgroup filling your quota of sensitivity for the week doesn't
mean that Enya's as one dimentionally pure as you'd have her and Mary. Yes,
even Enya doesn't deserve your lip (or rather, finger) service. I am quite
sure she can defend herself. She's become a success on her own terms, and
doesn't require your patriarical defence of her purity or opinions.
 
In fact, to the guys who are so gung ho about Enya's early works, 
I suggest a cross post to alt.sex.movies.
 
As for the Virgin Prunes... whoever asked - they are long dead. Jad Fair
is now a performance/cabaret artist of particular flair. I dont know how
this kind of quality made it into this newsgroup full of people who are a
disservice to Enya's fanship, but it's a welcome relief. Let's establish a
new tone of discussion here, Fr*nk.

Any way I'd describe them like this:
	Take your basic 2 guitar rock band, make them sound somewhere between
	U2 and INXS, add violin and uillean pipes. Oh ya and a female lead vox.

BTW some names you might recognize that were with them very early on (ie. 1984-

 Hi,
  just got the new album by Maire Brennan, any opinions? 
 I seems to have several similarities with some enya tracks, 
 although most of it reminds me of sirius. Also does anyone
 know whether the kid on the cover is hers?  Oro (track 3) 
 reminds me of lullaby, and has a layered vocal beginning similar
 to some of enya's tracks. It also has several credits from 
 members of the brennan family that must be younger siblings - following
 the family trade no doubt.

  Being a relative network novice i would appreciate some help
 on the subject of kill files, I would like to know how to create
 a global kill file for certain group members. (no prizes for 
 guessing whom) - I am surrounded by children all day, the last thing

Personally, I like PIANISSIMO the best, mostly because I don't think there's
anything quite like the sound of a well-played acoustic piano. I muchly
prefer her acoustic piano versions of the material on PIANISSIMO or the
PIANO TWO anthology disc to the electronic versions on other albums.

(The same goes for Yanni. I'm not all that wild about his electronic stuff,
but the acoustic piano versions of a couple of his numbers on PIANO TWO
are amazing.)

There is absolutely nothing in what Pete writes that indicates that he
*only* likes the way she looks or that he doesn't understand good music.
 You're indulging in typical female illogic drawing those conclusions
from his posts.

The only sexism I've seen is from you.  Why couldn't women be interested
in/get turned on by Enya's breasts as well as men?  Your assumption that
this is a "male only" thing sounds like pure Bushism.

PS: I actually found that record collector's magazine that had the ads for 
the bootlegs.  The ad claims that the cover of the Enya bootleg is made up 
of several nude pictures of her, but the photo accompanying the ad is 
pretty small and blurry, so I can't verify it.  Anyway, I've ordered the 
album (I'm assuming that the company is still in business) - and even if 
the cover isn't as advertised, I don't really care that much since I do 
like her music (despite what the people who call this "thier" newsgroup 
may think).  Whatever the case, I'll let you know, Pete.

thanks!  I actually have all 4 of her previous recordings:  7 waves, History

listen to them inorder of production you can really hear her music evolve -
much in the same way as Enya's style has evolved from her first self-titled
album.  (to be absolutely honest... I don't like Enya's early stuff... to
many high tech tricks and less emphasis on melody... but she keeps getting
better!  I hope this doesn't offend any DIE HARD fans out there :-)
