I'm one of Stephen Tilson's new recruits from eBay. I never knew there were so many Dolby fanatics out there. How did I get into Dolby? "She Blinded Me With Science" was one of the first songs I ever really liked--I was 10? 11?--and Golden Age was one of the first tapes I ever bought. Over the next couple years I literally wore the tape out listening to it. I eventually replaced the tape with a CD. After a couple years, the CD got stolen. So I bought another. But that had the crummy no-intro version of "She Blinded Me..." on it, so I sold it to a used CD shop. (Funny, they gave me $5 for it, a price they reserve for the stuff they really, really want.) Then I got another Wireless CD, this time getting lucky with the right mix of "She Blinded Me" on it. Then that got stolen too. So yes, I have bought "Golden Age of Wireless" FOUR times, and since I presently have no copy of it, I am bound to buy it again. I got back into TD a few years ago when "I Love You Goodbye" was on the radio and I bought "Retrospectacle." What a great album--I couldn't believe how much Dolby stuff I'd missed since "The Flat Earth." I just moved to Los Angeles a few months ago, and I'm always thinking of the lyrics to "Screen Kiss": "Miller time at the bar where all the English meet / She used to drink in the Hills--only now she drinks in the Valley..." L.A. is pretty surreal and can be weirdly lonely. "Screen Kiss" captures the irony of this city perfectly. "With a thousand miles of real estate to choose from / You begin to see the value of your freedom"--that's L.A., all right, it seems no matter where you drive, you're always still in L.A., trapped in a sunny paradise where you constantly wonder why you're not more happy. "The moon is bright in the haze above old Hollywood / And deer look down from the hills--and it's 3 o'clock in the morning" Well, tonight the deer can look down on me munching on an In-N-Out burger on Sunset. - -- Dave ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 21:49:12 EST From: CJMark@aol.com Subject: Re: Alloy: What's In The Water?

I live there some of the time.. the north side of the Hollywood Hills, to be more precise.. otherwise I'm in Miami Beach primarily. I'm on my way back there next week in fact.. after three months here in Florida.. so perhaps at one point or another we can meet and discuss the finer points of Dolby collecting..
