Subject: Summertime single II
In case anyone else is wondering, the Australian "Summertime" single is
available from Siren Disc. I haven't really looked in any shops so I
don't know if it's difficult to find.
The disc is $9.99 and the tracks are "Summertime", "Gone", "Nothing
Sweet", and "Here's Where the Story Ends" (Bernard Lenoir's Black
Session Version)

Subject: Homeward on sampler cd
Date: Thu, 05 Feb 1998 21:00:59 PST
Just in case anyone's interested..."Homeward" is featured on a Geffen CD
Sampler called "Help Yourself." Bruegger's bagels is giving them out
for free with every dozen you buy, and I had to buy 3 dozen for work, so
do the math and you can see, gee, just how lucky I was. And to think I
didn't even have to spend my own money for it.
Other bands include Garrison Starr (you remember her, the plucky little
opener for the Sundays with a gleam in her eye that captured the hearts
of every American just in time to catch us on the rebound from Kerri
Strug withdrawal) doing Superhero with a band behind her this time.
Also 10,000 Maniacs with Love Among the Ruins (great song), Morphine,
Whiskeytown and others. So now you've got an excuse to rush right out
and get that dozen of cinnamon-raisin you've had a hankerin' for. Just
avoid the Geffen-flavored cream cheese .

voted for their album. Well done!)
White Town (record breaking one-hit wonder who reached no. 1 in Britain with
his single 'Your Woman' that was recordec in his bedroom)
Dance music generally (we are clearly old and square and deserve to be laughed
at by kids)

Subject: The SUNDAYS plan "Art Terrorism"
--------
Since their controversial outburst during a radio interview, the Sundays
are now to follow 2K into the world of art terrorism.
"We're tired of just playing gigs and recording LPs," said Harriet on
Surrey's regional news show, Surrey's Regional News Show. "We want to
subvert the medium, make a statement and redefine what our roles as
musicians are."
The Sundays have already staged some 'events' in and around the Surrey
area which have stunned the Surrey art community with their audacity and
imagination.
Local art critic Brian Surrey explains: "First, the Sundays took their
weekly pocket money - just over 2 pounds, and tried to set light to it,
whilst a reporter from Surrey's Local Newspaper filmed the event on his
mum's Super-8. The coins failed to burn but this didn't deter the band,
who threw them into a wastebin and walked away. Of course, Harriet went
back and fished them out but it was the statement that was important.
The Sundays are saying, "Do we need pocket money? What is pocket
money? Is there a place for pocket money in the new millenium?
Frankly, it was an audacious and powerful experience."
Then, the Sundays shocked Surrey with a piece of graffiti on the wall of
Surrey's town hall. As the residents of Surrey emerged, blinking in the
light of a November morning, they were stunned to see the words
'Fiddlesticks To The Millenium' written in HB pencil on the wall.
"I couldn't believe it," says councillor Ken Surrey. "There it was,
bold as brass, in letters up to a half a centimeter high. Even people
stood over a foot away could see this profanity."
But it was the Sundays' live concert, lasting exactly 45 minutes (not
including encores and interval for coffee and biscuits) that was to
cause the most controversy amongst Surrey's 'in-crowd'.
"It looked like a normal Sundays gig," says Brian Surrey, who was lucky
enough to be at the concert at the Surrey British Legion, "but there was
one crucial mind-boggling change. Harriet was wearing a hat. I can't
tell you the effect this had on the audience. Some were shouting and
screaming at her to take it off, others, like voyuers, simply stared,
and some were yelling encouragement. Harriet never wears a hat on a
Thursday, but yet she had broken all tradition and re-invented herself.
The effect was a cause, the cause an effect. The Sundays are saying,
'What is a hat? Should we wear hats or should hats wear us?' I can
tell you, people still haven't stopped talking about that. Or the new
carpet in the Post Office, obviously."
--------
"I don't understand what that means. I mean, it doesn't mean anything
does it? I mean, by no means do I mean to be mean, but what did you
mean? Blimey. Anyway, it doesn't matter 'cause I'm pretty."
- Sharriet Wheeler
