Steph L: Discs are on their way. Sorry I'm so slow, but it's hard to get to the P.O. some weeks..
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!
Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I got Hayden's CDs yesterday. Yay! (and hi back, Tina!)
consider that The Rembrandts never even had a major radio hit, but because they did the theme for Friends they'll probably never have to worry about the rent for the rest of their lives.
Does it count that said theme song WAS a big radio hit during the show's first or second season? They recorded an extra verse and everything.

But you have to think Andy is already set up pretty well financially. XTC might never have sold well but they did have 8 zillion albums out there at last count. And I always thought if he really needed the money he would have gotten over that stage fright thing. (I always understood that they didn't tour due to his stage fright - is that right?)
So that leaves me wondering how exactly Tim 'persuaded' him to write this theme song....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Are you implying that threats and beagles were involved?

That was my understanding as well. I remember once XTC did a "tour" where they only did radio interviews and short live-to-air performances.

Jon B. beat me to it.
He lives in the town he grew up in (Swindon, I believe) - how much money can he need?

Yay! And no worries on the time frame. If it's not a human heart that needs to get put into a person within a certain time frame, then it's no big.
....there's not a human heart, is there?

Some kind of divine providence just motivated me to check my oft ignored yahoo e-mail account. Where there was a e-mail from my Wilco list telling me that they were playing the Blue Note in Columbia on a very short tour (that includes Austin, btw, hayden) and tickets went on sale yesterday.
I went to ticketbastard expecting them to be sold out (the Blue Note is pretty small) - but lo there were some left.
And they are mine. Woo and a very relieved hoo.

Telling you would just be spoiling the surprise.
