Like many people our age, we have a large vinyl and tape collection, which, because of children, space, technology, etc., has been banished to the attic. Using Napster, we can once again listen to the music we already have on vinyl. We haven't downloaded anything we don't already own on vinyl or tape. Napster has saved us a lot of time and effort in switching to the new technology. MARSHALL AND KATHY LANDIS Baltimore...
...relative merits of various politicians, New Yorkers will be settling in for a historic bout. And, just as a note of caution to outsiders, we'll probably be pretty self-satisfied no matter what the outcome. Mayor Giuliani, a Yankees fan, has already promised the winning team a ticker-tape parade down the city's Canyon of Heroes...
...funny. Ryan is from Oklahoma and is not a Jew. We got avideotape from him early in the process and we didn't even open it. But then we had five days left and we didn't have a Lenny.

Needless to say, we were slightly over budget. Unabashed negotiation and downright pleading helped make the project possible. Our graphic design firm, for example, accepted "one gig owed...
...Rebounding from the loss, I implemented a new ten-star system, with no option to abstain. After whittling the list of potential songs down to 20, we recorded a few "basement tapes" (fittingly recorded in a basement). These low-fi, pre-recordings help to get a general sense of how a tune is going to sound on tape. Songs that leap up off of a live stage may adopt a sluggish crawl when forced onto the recorded medium. Perhaps "The Queen of Guadeloupe" was fated that...
