I tried looking up how to get started on the web and Macromedia is selling a Flash editor program for $500. Is there some cheaper way to get into this?

Someone interviewed Linnell a few months back, and he said they intended to use "Monsters Of Mud" as an EP B-side. I've heard no news of any EP's coming out anytime soon, though, so whether this will come to pass remains to be seen. If there is a "No!" EP, I wonder if there will be any other B-sides.

Someone interviewed Linnell a few months back, and he said they intended to
use "Monsters Of Mud" as an EP B-side.  I've heard no news of any EP's
coming out anytime soon, though, so whether this will come to pass remains
to be seen.  If there is a "No!" EP, I wonder if there will be any other
B-sides.


That sampler sounds like such a perfect ep, though, I wonder if that's what Linnell was thinking of.  And I wonder why they were forced to stop selling it after just one or two shows, or if it will appear at any other shows now that No has been released.

"No! is the name of the album, or no, you don't know?" I wonder if TMBG gave it that name just so people could have these Abbott-and-Costello-type arguments with record clerks. At least these people realized that "No!" COULD be the title. >Next door to Media Play is a Circuit City so I tried there.

Oh, no, it's just that rip-off compilation." Not that I have any need to buy that single either, since I already have all the songs from it, but I might get it anyway if I saw it in a store. I think "The Best of the Early Years" is some BMG thing. They have another one called "Live," which is basically half of Severe Tire Damage. >My real point in all this was to ask if anyone else had a problem >finding No!

I hope all of you had an easier time finding it than I did. I found it at Sam Goody, but it was $18.99, so I didn't get it. FYE said they'd probably get it in tomorrow. Coconuts didn't know what I was talking about, and said it wasn't on their list. If FYE doesn't have it soon, and for less money, maybe I'll just buy an $18.99 copy. Incidentally, Sam Goody had it in the regular TMBG section, not in children's music (which, at all three stores, was a rather pathetic section made up pretty much entirely of kids' show soundtracks and "songs for kids" collections, with few or no actual albums as such) or new releases.
