DOLBY MEETS MY DEMANDS. Unless there is a political prisoner called "Anewthomas Dolbyalbum" languishing behind bars somewhere in the world ala Midnight Express, I don't think it quite warrants a person (inflatable or otherwise :-) going on hunger strike. OTOH if there is such a prisoner somewhere then you may have the wrong list, I'd suggest you try searching for the "Free Anewthomas Dolbyalbum Now" list... Seriously though doughboy, at the risk of using an Americanism: chill. Can we cool it a little with the "DEMANDS" please? I'm having trouble working out all the acronyms (read: puh-lease take your caps lock off!), and this hunger strike joke is wearing a little thin... Instead of blindly shouting 'demands' at us, why not join in by telling us a bit about yourself and how you first discovered Thomas' music? We're really a friendly bunch, I think you'll find participating and getting to know your fellow Alloyites, a really rewarding experience. cheers, Paul.

I feel Doughboy should just play every track he has especially ones hes = not played for ages and just pretend its a new one --- I find its easier = to do this after several beers ( oh theres that word again), or distort = the sound so that it appears to be a remix . I have attached (hopefully)a list of the items I have, related to Thomas = - - maybe I have something Doughboy hasnt heard - so i might be able help = temporarily - please peruse at your leisure - all are UK releases unless = otherwise stated. Now ive eventually sorted this list - you will be pleased to know next = on the agenda is my own e-mail address . Good luck Doughboy & May the Cube be with you.
