By "effort" I'm assuming that it means they tried their hardest to go platinum and didn't quite make it. The www.riaa.com clearly states that Flood only went gold, just a week and a half before the 4th anniversary of the album's release. -- Shaun www.tmbg.cc/fanpromos/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 21:40:06 EDT From: Vazco@aol.com Subject: Re: TMBG: Re: TMBG Photos Message-ID: In a message dated 8/16/01 8:40:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time, scratch@the-pentagon.com writes: > That's great, finally some info about the release of Gigantic.

I can get enough of Mink Car, its on heavy rotation.It is however, very tough to play Man,Its so loud in here (which I love) when my friends are around, as Ive been ragging on "dance" music for ages..Same thing happened to me with Elvis Costello, I normally hate country music, but his country album and his quasi one (King of america) are amongst my faves,,,Im sure if Andy Partridge put out an album of Opera Faves, Id be all over that too! ..I hope we get some southern dates with concerts. I doubt theyll come back down to south florida, specially after the stage jumpers episode last time. Looks like Dallas is the early front runner in the weekend/cheap airfare combo..gotta see a show!!! Cheers all!!
