Re: It`s good to be back........?

["Phill Merchant" <phillmerchant@ho...com>]

Katrina,
I feel it my duty to pass the Weird Shit tape your way for further
distribution amongst the masses stateside - I do hope it`s not too
poisoned
a chalice........
Mail me off-list with your address and I`ll pop it in the post for you as
soon as I get a spare moment.......
I`m still interested in Siamese Boyfriends from any source.......
and, I ought to warn you Katrina, your offer of CD copies is horrendously
tempting - what`s the deal ???
love to all,

Phill................
PS; You know....the bits from Your Ages where Gerard takes a break and - I
presume it`s Rodney - sings something which is almost entirely drowned out
by the guitar line and drums. I can only presume that Rodney is so low in
the mix (so low that noone else can hear him?????) because of the
producer`s
(Gil Norton) well documented dislike of Rodney`s contribution, which led
him
to refuse to produce `Careful Boy`............ Someone, please, tell me
I`m
not the only one who can hear this part of the song.............
(my interpretation of the lyrics will follow when I have more moments
spare....it`s pretty basic, I`m afraid.....(but they`re `all
valid`.......)
