He says that: "it's not available yet. Period. There's no confirmation date on the release." I'd be very interested in knowing where whomever got his copy got it from, since Zach talked directly to the guys at Hal Leonard and Charles DuMont & Sons, and they don't even have a catalog number yet. The catalog number usually preceeds a book by about a month. What's up? Incidentally, Zach and I would give the aliens the solo (instrumental) msection from Under a Glass Moon since it shows diverse musical styles,complicated time sigs, and melodic and harmonic compositional skills (they can write a tune!). How's that for a cool forty-five second blurb?! Tchus, Bracken "...Without music, life would be an error."

I don't really LIKE doing it, because, you have to cope with 15 people coming up every 5 minutes saying "There's too much highs, and I can't hear the vocals," then, another 15 saying "There's not enough highs, and the vocals are too loud." =) And I also don't like working with other people on sound for the same reason. No offense, but, there's been NO ONE that hears things the same way I do, so, fights are inevitable. This one moron, who *I* taught to run sound, and was using *MY* board, kicked me off of it, after the band (which I had just left) told me I could. I said, "Fine. Whatever." So, all of a sudden, the lead vocals disappear. Loud, nasty noise. (The Battery Went Dead In The Wireless Mike.) Poor guy cranked down the fader. It was still there. (I'm standing back behind him, WHY DON'T YOU MUTE THE CHANNEL, KILL THE BUSS SENDS FROM THAT CHANNEL, AND TURN ON THE TAPE INPUT (which wasn't being used), YOU IDIOT?!) The singer came off stage and showed him how to do that (which is the only thing he knew how to do sound-wise). Then, when the PA went down, I just laughed. I knew what the problem was (this was years ago, but, I remember it being something REALLY simple...just not exactly what it was), but refused to help him. Little bastard. =) So, No Offense - I know you couldn't POSSIBLY be anywhere NEAR as incompetent (shit, I knew some gorillas who were more capable of running sound than this moron) - but, the experience (and several others) just kinda left a nasty taste in my mouth. =) =) Well, semi-DT content there. If ya don't like the lack of it, KISS THE BACK OF IT! ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 818 *************************
