I was > suprised that parts of it were actually pleasant, but > mostly I'd be surprised if Thomas could listen to it > without cringeing! I had a mail from him about this some years ago where I asked a question about it and by reading between the lines of his answer (I can't remember the exact wording anymore) I think that you are quite close to the mark. This recording is really ripe for sampling. I have been thinking of making a TMDR sound-set for windows to replace the generic beeps etc. using cuts from this. If I ever get around to it I'll let you know. I hope that doing something like that isn't TOO illegal ;-> maybe it would be fun. I woke up to a white Helsinki for the first time this year this morning. Brrrr. I had to go straight to the tyre place and get my winter tyres put on the car. (They should have gone on two weeks ago, ) Have fun!

Not Dolby I know but at least Keith'll be interested! Went to see Morrissey on Sunday and in the encore I managed to crowd-surf all the way to the front, evade the clutches of the burly bouncers, and attract the attention of the big man, who came down to the front of the stage to shake my hand! I am truly blessed!! And I'm going to see him again tonight! hooray! the_copse ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 13:32:47 GMT From: "Ian Gifford" Subject: Alloy: faces to names Hi all, just wanted to let you know that I have submitted a couple of pics (finally) to the faces to names archive (you got them okay Robin?). I also was wondering what the URL is for that archive? Sorry for taking so long....

I know it is out of print, but surely there are used copies floating around. Any suggestions?

I don't think I've seen it sell for any less than 60USD there, and I've never seen it anywhere else.

I also was wondering what the URL is for that archive? :: Hi Ian, I downloaded what you sent when I received them but sadly, none of my programs have allowed me to read them in their present format which I believe is a compressed MIME document (?) I have them stored on my desktop and have been meaning to bring this up to you... how would I go about opening this? photoshop and a couple of others that I have aren't working. Of course, I could ask you to resend them as attached jpeg or gif files, but that would only be giving up at this point! I won't be able to update the Gallery for another couple of weeks (projects backed up that I have to take care of) but I'm looking forward to it. I'm still accepting contributions in the meantime - so everyone please send photos if you want to be featured here amongst your fellow Alloy members. The address for the Gallery is http://members.aol.com/RThurF/AlloyNamestoFaces.htm I'm also very much looking forward to adding the rest of the interviews & images I have of Thomas - I'll let everyone know when each one is up. Robin T who is being reminded in her workshop this evening that 100-year-old hide glue dissolved off an instrument which has been stored in somebody's grandmother's attic for the past seventy-five years is possibly the worst smelling substance on earth! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Oct 1999 21:31:41 -0600 From: Dennis S Alexander Subject: Alloy: English table manners Concerning the fork and knife thing, I've always considered it awkward and illogical to keep swapping the fork from hand to hand. Then again, me mumsie brought me up according to 'Miss Manners' which insists on swapping. The only reason I can see for this swapping is that the right hand tends to be more talented than the left (if your right-handed). This way, you would use the clumsy left hand to simply hold the food with the fork while the skilled right hand cuts it and then you would switch so that the skilled right hand can move the food to your mouth. However, I always thought that it must be better to be ambidextrious (sp?) anyway. So sometimes, I cut with my left hand (hoping I don't send the food off my plate) and keep the utensils in hand without switching. I agree with the Europeans, switching from hand-to-hand is clumsy and a waste of time, even if it is supposed to be propper. ___________ JAMac (Dennis S.

I ordered radials through the Sears catalogue (thank god for the diplomatic mail!) for my car in Moscow (my cheap, lame, bright green Zhiguli), and you would have thought I'd put diamonds on my rims - the militia man outside my apartment building insisted that I park my car right in front of his booth so no one would steal my tires! Helsinki is beautiful in winter - I'm envious. I don't know what Finland looks like when there *isn't* snow on the ground! I've been there twice, both times in winter. Since moving to Washington, DC from Moscow, my blood has thinned out so much, I can't stand the cold for very long. Today it was in the 40's F - I would have been wearing a light jacket back in Russia, but here, now - I was wrapped up in my big, puffy winter coat. What a wimp! Cheers, Melissa - -- Melissa R.
