Good point. Maybe one should contact those who wrote it, and ask
them to include a few extra ones? If anyone could configure it,
well... then we're talking. Perhaps that's in the "release"
version? (as this one is the "beta"). Here's me hoping...

Hei!
Hm, Boxman: It didn't look like they only ship national?! They told me
'bout europe-wide Express-Mail and so on ... sounded good, I think ...
(I thought ... ???). Even the P & P prices were shown!

Hey Rainer (and any other curious germans)!
If you live near Denmark, try to check out BH when they're touring,
they might not come closer than this. I must stress that BH rock ten
times more live than studio. In fact, if it wasn't for the live shows,
I wouldn't have cared much for them. I think i've seen them like 25
times by now, and each gig is a total kick of pure energy.
When they played "Kvicksilver" last december (at Universitetet), I
could hardly keep myself from crying.... When will they ever release
that song???

Good stuff. Although this serviced seems to be very biased towards the
US. Is there anything similar for Europe (or even sweden?! ;-)

Yes, I saw already the dates and thought about it! Plan WAS that I will
have a week o' Holidays in denmark next week, but when looking at my
heaps of work, I think it will not come true! I hope that I can go at
least in the beginning of next week or so! Then I'll be in northern
Jutland, that is only 50 km to Aalborg and will visit them there ... I
REALLY hope that that fits! But I can't really hope so ... damn!
And, from here, even to Kolding, which is southmost of the danish dates,
mhm, it's more then 600 km ... a little bit TOO far, I think, for one
gig ... ?! Paska!
So, I just have to wair how it all works out ....
Later! Reiner

Mhm ... just went to Boxman yesterday eve, and it seemed very operating
... and I even found some CD's I was looking for ... so if I only knew
if they are reliable, i would order them there ... because some CD's
would go for SEK 85,- that sounds acceptable ...

Yeah, Radio Rocket says there's gonna be a release party with some
giveaways, free food etc. Didn't catch the details, but if someone's
interested, i could give them a call and find out more.

Musically, I have no idea what they're like. OK, i guess i've heard
them on radio, but i never pay attention when the credits roll.
And i don't have speakers to my PC. *sniff...* :-(
