    Sound samples of all 7 tracks of the new album 'The Ghost of Hope' can be found on www.bol.com.
    Sounds promising I think!

    The weird guy on the left, where's his left hand?

    It's an optical trick, Escher style (I guess :D). The hands are geometrically disposed, the central hand stands for both raised hands of the left guy and the right guy.

    Randy is confused...but, NOT DEAD!

    Well...It appears as if Randy is being left out of the 'loop'....
    when it comes to the new album, and the Tokyo concerts!

    Well.... now it seems that 'Randy' isn't even on the NEW ALBUM!


    Meanwhile...
    I've written to Hardy AGAIN!
    I wrote:

    And, he wrote back:

    "Is this a
    newsletter question or are you asking me?
    I
    have a huge CD collection. A piece of music is not really
    finished until it is locked to a physical medium. Whether
    that is good or bad is debatable. Considering that
    “finished” is not a real thing, only an
    opinion.
    You
    have a published book so you know how it is to not be able
    to change something. Then you know that refining over time
    could be relevant too."

    So, I wrote back:
    "oh... I assumed every question I shoot to you would be 'newsletter-worthy', but, that's me!
    > AS for my book.... well, I 'shot my wad', as far as packing it with as much as I could.
    > If, in the end, it's all I have, creative-wise, to unleash to the world, I'm pretty happy with it.
    >
    > Speaking of books, I own a copy of "EXPLODING!" by Stan Cornyn. In it, he mentions being part of the 'team' that worked on the CD-ROM company INSCAPE. I wonder if you had meetings with the man.
    > His 'tales from the Warner Music world' are quite enjoyable.
    > I recommend it... It's kind of a 'flip-side' to the sadder book on the industry, "Hit Men".
    >
    > Thanks for replying so fast,
    > Vince"

    and, he wrote:
    "You are too young to have shot your wad already. There is even a book waiting to be written about having shot your wad.

    I never met Stan Cornyn, but then again, Inscape was in LA and we were in SF."


    So... as usual, I feel informed AND confused at the same time!
    ....typical RESIDENTS!

    Don't have them, though the bonus tracks look cool.
