(Memo from me to me: buy and gobble flake at next opportunity.) Did anyone remember the deluxe flake? I could just imagine some marketing person... "I'm seeing the Flake but more. I'm thinking a flake for people that say 'flake, it's nice but it's not enough.' I'm seeing Costanza saying 'Gotta love the flake'. I'm seeing it coated in a thick layer of -somebody help me here- chocolate. Yeh. That'd work..." Funny thing is, delish though it was, I think it wasn't as good as the Flake Classic. P.

Jordan" Subject: Alloy: A nice Dolby comment in today's paper Hi, folks, Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks were in town to play a club date on Sunday night. Today's Washington Post features a review of the gig, and it includes this pleasant comment: "The highlight for many was Hicks's best-known song, "I Scare Myself" (any Hicks fans who haven't heard Thomas Dolby's brilliant interpretation need to do so)..." It's always nice to find a Dolby reference pop up over your bagel and coffee. :-) Cheers, Melissa (well, it was cream of wheat and OJ, actually, but bagel and coffee sounds more sophisticated...) - -- Melissa R.

Excellent, to hear Thomas getting such fine public recognition in this context. He muct be so pleased!! Does anyone know if Mr Hicks himself has ever mentioned Thomas' version in the press, or even directly to Thomas?
