D'oh! I didn't even scroll down the alloy digest tonight before going straight to cdbaby and ordering mine. then I read the mail and saw that there's this autographed edition too, which I didn't get either! I emailed them, of course they are closed but hopefully they'll get it tomorrow! I went back to the page and checked -- there's no option to get that version on the cdbaby page. I also liked the bit about the web fans! Go us! I'll be leaving tomorrow to finally (1st time in 8 years) spend the holidays in NY with my family. So, on the best note ever, happy holidays to everyone!! And thank you to TMDR for the best (tangible) gift I'll get this year! *B* - -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dr. Barbara Cohen, lunatic bcohen@higp.hawaii.edu Hawaii Institute of Geophysics & Planetology (808) 956-3901 (office) University of Hawaii at Manoa (808) 956-6322 (fax) Honolulu, HI 96822 http://www2.hawaii.edu/~bcohen/ ______________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 10:08:45 +0100 From: lulfstedt@amadeus.net Subject: Alloy: Yeehaaaa! Been there, used the plastic, and bouncing around like the Energiser bunny! Finally, Finally! Something new from Thomas - this has made my Christmas and my New Year! Thank you so much Thomas! And,....happy holidays to you & everybody on the list! Lissu :-) P.S. Particularly loved the version of "One of Our Submarines,.." oh boy, that would be one for a single release!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 08:04:24 -0200 From: "Paulo" Subject: Alloy: New CD from Thomas Hello everybody / Hello Thomas: This is the kind of news I was longing to hear for a long long long time. We all have been waiting for years and years to have this kind of surprise. This will be the best Christmas since 1995 gate to the mind's eye! THANK YOU THOMAS DOLBY. PLEASE DON'T TAKE ANOTHER 10 YEARS AWAY DECEMBER WILL BE MAGIC AGAIN Paulo Brazil ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 08:52:33 -0200 From: "Paulo" Subject: Re: Alloy: New CD from Thomas - press release Hello: I don't write a lot to Alloy... that happens mainly because one thing I have not a lot of, is time! But I read every post which arrives daily on my computer (you call that lurking isn't it?). But this is a very special time..... I can't believe this is really happening! I've just ordered my CD. I mean: not a common CD by one of today's awful pop acts...... I wasn't really expecting to write anymore words these: I'VE JUST ORDERED THE NEW THOMAS DOLBY CD!!!!!!! Unbelievable isn't it ? The best Christmas gift for years! As I live in Brazil, it normally takes some 15 to 20 days to arrive... because of Christmas it sometimes takes 30 days, so you lucky guys will have the privilege to listen to it before me. Send your impressions on the new live versions! Thank you Thomas Dolby for such a bright idea to release it! Paulo Brazil ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 01:03:15 -1000 From: Barbara Cohen Subject: Alloy: CDBaby So, at midnight my time and 3am his, the owner of CDBaby emailed me back about the autographed copy. He also asked me about living in Hawaii, as he wants to spend a couple months out here. In exchange, he didn't charge me the extra for the autographed copy :) :) Nice guy, too. I wholeheartedly recommend using CDBaby to get this CD.... - -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dr. Barbara Cohen, lunatic bcohen@higp.hawaii.edu Hawaii Institute of Geophysics & Planetology (808) 956-3901 (office) University of Hawaii at Manoa (808) 956-6322 (fax) Honolulu, HI 96822 http://www2.hawaii.edu/~bcohen/ ______________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 19:57:05 +0800 From: "Andy Venables" Subject: Alloy: Re: alloy-digest V6 #318 > THOMAS DOLBY BREAKS EIGHT YEAR MUSICAL SILENCE Wow!

I will be really satisfying to know that Thomas will personally get some cash for doing this and EMI can go entertain themselves! Those of you that have placed your order already might like to add this to your orders: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/500megsfine Mike Kapitan is a well know name to us Dolbyites and I for one have a crisp $10 bill for him on-spec.
