Many people (including myself) enjoy Ruby Vroom much more. I like that CD becase it sounds like a better representation of what they can do live. It's a little more bluesy, more funky than "Bliss." I recommend hearing Ruby first. And their incomparable "Unmarked Helicopters" blew the rest of > the contents of the "X-Files" soundtrack "Songs in the Key of X" out of > the water. I would say it's one of the best tracks, but not *that* great. I love Doughty and the boys, but my money's on the hidden Nick Cave and the Dirty Three song at the beginning of the CD. Borrow Irresistable Bliss, buy Ruby Vroom. And fer God's sakes, go get the X-Files CDs, both are rockin'. mnda _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

She plays the cello and tenor guitar in that (and sings!). She also sang backup vocals for laura cantrell (the female vocalist in the guitar). I've actually heard a grip of rumors about how john found her. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE ALL RUMORS!! most of them seem to revolve around the fact that she was previously married with children (can you imagine flansy as a step-parent?). anyways, i think this started when someone said she was married to that guy mark donato in spondee and when they came in to make their hello cd of the month club disc flans fell in love with her and "stole" her away from mark... take it easy, JOrdaN http://www2.netcom.com/~arnot/joda/bootlegs.html _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

His incantatory, long-lined verses were styled not for parlor reading or classroom study but for public performances, featuring himself. He provided the music for Beat Generation and a vision of modern malaise: "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness." then there's a picture of him... take it easy, JOrdaN http://www2.netcom.com/~arnot/joda/bootlegs.html :::recently voted most spirited swimmer in colorado::: (what the hell does THAT mean?!) _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
