Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if I upset some people with my ideas, particularly concerning the home-pages, but as I said they were just suggestions. I think you guys do a great job, I was trying to encourage more of us to be involved. I hope we can throw ideas around without people being offended.
About the Marcy videos somebody asked about. The video for 'Aint Nothing' with Elton John, was a really expensive clip that mixed some computer graphics with live shots. It was only played once on MTV Europe, and from what I remember, was brightly coloured and at one point Marcy comes spinning out of a flower. It was quite surreal. The I'm no Angel video was brilliant, but also only played once on MTV Europe. As Mike said, it was in a tank and Marcy plays a woman, a man and a child. The woman and the man(Marcy in full-beard and Elvis side-burns) have a huge fight. The women ties the guy up(at one point he has a paper bag on his head). Then come the kid totally pissed off and smashes the place with paint and everything. This, was a brilliant video, but not seen by many. Was a video ever released for these clips. As far as I know there was no video for Perfect World, though I could be wrong. The I believe video on the other hand got huge airplay on MTV Europe. It is still often played, and is beautifully done. ('I believe' was actually number one in Israel for ages, and Jewel was huge there- does anyone know how Feeler is going there?)
For those who don't have Feeler yet, I think you will be surprised. It has quite a different feel to the first two singles. I love this album.
See Ya! Grant
P.S Has anyone noticed the new band 'Alisha's Attic'- my God, they have moments of sounding like SS. And it no surprise. Apparently the two girls lived in a flat in London owned by Siobhan's sister. They ultimately met Dave Stewart who produced their album called 'Alisha Rule the World'. Its not bad- definitely SS inspired. In an interview they said they totally love SS, but don't think they sound like them. Sorry girls...
[I thought they were a kind of rip-off of the group Shampoo at first (except _good_) but the more I hear of them, the more interesting they become Mike]

CIAO !!!
I realised some time ago that the voice performing backing vocals on the chorus of "I Can Drive" is very similar to Marcy's voice!!
Has anyone else noticed it?? Comments?
[Well, having such a different voice does provide a good balance to Siobhan........Mike]

Hi Everyone !! !! !! !!
If we want more subscribers, we must get the Mailing List address (and the Web Sites addresses) printed on the cover of the new $$ single/album/promo poster/leaflet/print/press release/etc ... Maybe the Fan Club could be of help! ... Opinions?

A couple things which I will mention later as I am too pooped from my little trip to Seattle. SS also appeared on the soundtrack for Nuns On the Run with the song Sacred Heart. I noticed this the other day.
Also, you may want to mention the HY--The Remixes which is apparently out there.
[Has anyone heard of some release called Hormonally Yours -The Remixes? The only thing I can think of is that the re-released album (with 7" remixes replacing the original album versions of Goodbye Cruel World, Stay, I Don't Care and Hello) may be referred to by some people as HY-The Remixes. Or was there a Japanese maxi-single CD????

More later. I'm dead...
