Please make yourself right at home. Robyn M should be along any minute now with your Comfy Chair :) you write: ::What I've always wondered is has anyone ever tried to catalogue TV appearances by Tom? I've got a couple of hours worth of UK TV appearances from 82 - present on VHS (including the excellent Top of the Pops Windpower appearance - was a video ever made for this?) and I think I've got just about all of them to date. Would anyone else be interested in something like - a "TV Discography"? :: I don't know if anyone's tried to do this but it sounds like a really great idea. Even if it weren't possible to know them all, since I'm sure there have been so many all around the world, it would be fascinating to even see a partial list - especially a UK list. I imagine he's made more appearances there than anywhere else (though a worldwide list might prove me wrong)! As for recent ones on US television, his guest appearance as a contestant on VH1's My Generation last year is one (seeing this was the sole reason I subscribed to cable, here in the US) and if concert broadcasts count, then The Wall concert at Berlin would be another. Did this have its world premier in Britain? Aagin, nice to make your acquaintance, Stephen! If you have any questions or problems with any technical aspects of the list, please feel free to write to me any time & I'll do my best to help out.

I would love to have each person at Alloy make a little mini-bio & send it to me for inclusion in the FAQ. I would LOVE it if everyone could send a new picture too, though this is optional of course. I don't want to ask for any standardized set of information or any sort of rigid format to follow... please feel free to write whatever you like about yourself, any length, any language. One common question I would like answered, though, is where/when/how did you first hear or see Thomas Dolby's work ever, and what immediate impression did it make on you? Please send your bio's over soon! to: RThurF@aol.com Thanks :) Robin T ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 23:49:12 GMT From: jacksonhome@home.com (Lee Jackson) Subject: Re: Alloy: call for introductions On Sat, 12 Jun 1999 10:41:09 EDT, you wrote: >The addition of a new members at Alloy has reminded me to ask...

I saw him first on MTV back in 1982. They played Europa and the Pirate Twins, then Radio Silence a day or so after. I'd never heard anything like it before - something in the musical complexities of the two pieces reached in, grabbed hold, and hasn't yet let go. // Lee Jackson, Music and Sound Director // Apogee Software, Ltd. / 3D Realms Entertainment // http://www.3drealms.com (company stuff) // http://gameaudio.3dportal.com (non-business stuff) // Home e-mail: jacksonhome@home.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 18:15:47 PDT From: Ian Gifford Subject: Alloy: Re: A newcomer amongst us.... > >Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 From: "Stephen Harris" > >Hello, >I hope you (collectively) don't mind me popping in like this...
