Ok, Queen Shivvy, don't let us down now . . .

Jimmy, fucking excellent job on the Sideburn 3 page. You are truly talented at this web design shit. How can we turn our burning ring into a money making enterprise??

I never realized how much Rush was influenced by the Mahavishnu Orchestra until I listened to Cedriq's Electricity burn.

Just recieved James's now, and am greatly enjoying it. Meanwhile have just read Korak's comments and am shocked, shocked, that anyone could have doubts about my beloved Incredible String Band - what kind of drugs were you (not) doing in the early 1970s, my friend? Oh, that's right, you were still drinking formula; that explains it.
I feel quite remiss for not thanking people as the months have gone by for providing a diverting listen, regularly, in the mail. Let me just say that I live for mail, so these have been most welcome petals from postal nirvana.
Hey, I've been sleeping a lot better since I stayed awake far too late poring over dream-related music. This has, for me, life-course historical significance. Even had a dream or two that I've recalled - most unusual for me. I'm not sure this all results so much from compiling an album that follows the contours of dream (hypnagogic, rem, hypnopompic, etc.) as from listening to, and heeding, the advice on Janet I. Decker IHT's "Hypnosis to Help You Sleep," which I recommend as a good giggle, and for its excellent technique: Breathe in, think "security," breathe out, think "comfort." Works a charm.

Snake Rhythms: thank god somebody had the gumption to use Dreamweaver, and it works very nicely. A great disc indeed. It is amazing to me that no songs were duplicated unless you count my cover of Fleetwood Macs Dreams. I almost used the same Belle & Sebastian song as Korak but it didn't flow with my atmosphere.

I've finally listened to all the dreams. Great batch of music, we should all be very proud. And, just because I can, here's some thoughts on each disc, in the order in which I listened to 'em.

Gnat - Nice job getting it out so goddamn fast. Bonus points for calling it Tomorrow's Dream but not including the Black Sabbath song and for having a Belle and Sebastian dream song different from the one on mine.

Melle - Probably the most misunderstood dream CD in the ring. Is it a burst of irony or a declaration of your newfound Gibsonism? Who cares, it's a great listen. Bonus points for leaving off Jesus Is Just Alright With Me.

Korak - No, I'm not above plugging my own as my favorite out of the lot (hey, it's my dreams, so why not?). Trivia tidbit: the original version started off with Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech interrupted by gunfire.

Jack - Love the Red Army vs. Tetris (well, the first time). Can't wait for your remix of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir vs. Ms. Pacman.

Dana - Who knew the Flaming Lips could sound like Echo and the Bunnymen? Or that REM could make me yearn for U2? This CD stayed on repeat in my computer at work for a solid two days.

Snake - This really did feel like a trip to the other side of the mirror, into a Lynchian universe where classic songs took on ominous shadings. Lose a point for using George Jones again.

Cedriq - It took me a while to get to it but it was worth the wait. I'll admit to having my doubts when it kicked off with the Incredible String Band, but that second Nico song sold me. And then I went to sleep listening to disc 2 and man was that scary.

Shamus - Wait...is that Jimmy Mac singing Fleetwood Mac? Truly nightmarish. Lose a point for making me read about Greek mythology.

K-ob - Love the "Big" triad and the bluesy feel. Bonus points for listing Robert Cray as "Clay," offset by the minus for including Grace Slick.

And was there really not one song that was duplicated? Amazing.
