SSML-14, 8 May 1996
Hi everyone, I've just checked Esprit Mail Order's current
catalogue, and there's no sign of "I Can Drive" yet. (quite often
they advertise upcoming releases). Only 3 1/2 weeks to go now!
Mike.

Subject: Siobhan's health
Hi. I'm Kenneth Walsh in
Washington, DC. I haven't been on the SS Web page(s) lately, but
someone on the Bananarama mailing list reports having read that
Siobhan has been "in a mental hospital for the better part of two
years" -- what is this all about? I have nothing against getting
treatment for mental problems, but it sounds like gossip (or
perhaps exaggeration) to me. How's her marriage/children?
Cannot wait for the new release ... just hoping I can get my
hands on it in musically lame Washington, DC! I am:

Subject: Re: Dave & Siobhan
Hi there,
Someone asked some questions about Dave and Siobhan, and I have a few answers. Dave
and Siobhan have two kids; Samuel Hurricane and Django. They do
have a house in L.A. where Dave's Chapel studio is located. On
one interview, Dave stated that some of his neighbors include Tom
Petty and Jack Nicholson. Dave and Siobhan also own houses in
the south of France and London. Their Church studio is located
in London's Crouch End, and their estimated worth was reported to
be close to forty million pounds. In the article, Dave denied
this amount. In addition, Dave Stewart recently purchased an
office in London's Covent Garden which was featured in his "Heart
of Stone" video which was reported to contain almost two million
pounds worth of technological equipment.
Here is an excerpt from the article which appeared in THE
MAGAZINE:
Other current projects sound more feasible. Apart from the
new album there is the production of a film called "Golf",
directed by Juzo Itami and starring Jack Nicholson about the
tense hidden agenda of corporate sport. He will produce Siobhan
Fahey's first album since the acrimonious split of the duo
Shakespear's Sister, and songwriting with David Bowie and Daryl
Hall...
With so many ideas waiting to be decoded from the fibre-
optic tagliatelle squirming around in his overactive brain, it is
a wonder that Dave Stewart has any time for his children, Django,
aged four, and Sam aged six. "The other day Sam did some really
good drawings of these amazing little characters. I borrowed
them for a while, took a photograph and then had them put on a t-
shirt. I was wearing it the next morning when he came down. He
was staring at my shirt all through breakfast, trying to work out
what was wrong. I sat there staring back at him, I didn't say a
word, of course." I hope that this little description helps. You
can also check out Elektra's home page which has a Dave Stewart
section. Also, Siobhan Fahey does appear in one of Dave's
Anxious label acts - J.C. 001. She sings backup in the video,
but not on the album. Also, I just noticed that Sophie Muller,
who directed the Shakespear's Sister videos in the past, has just
directed the Cure's new video which is currently airing on Mtv.

Finally some
anonymous eavesdropping(!):
>>i finally realised after all these years why I dislike hormonally
>>yours so much compared to sacred heart! sacred heart is soooooo
>>bananaramaish. I was listening to DM 12" this morning and realised
>>that with HY there was no cool acid type dance songs like DM or BMH -
>>except for black sky which was overkilled anyway
> Sacred Heart still blows me away: I still get the same feeling
>that it's an amazing album, just the same as when I first got it.
>HY is probably more professional, commercial etc. but just
>doesn't have the same impact as SH. I feel SH is more of a
>Siobhan solo album, whereas HY was more of a joint project
>with Marcy. So the new album should be a return to form!
Well precisely!!!!!!!! I just love those SH 12" and the dance
remixes its that electric drum syndrome - got to got to got to
have it!
