Jim, did you think you'd end up being quoted verbatim? Thanks for the info!
The following was posted by Jim to the list on November 25, 1996:
He congratulated the band on the recent radio play but it turned out that Francis did not have much of a clue as to what was going on - he didn't even know of the 'prestigious' award the single had attained. More worryingly, he didn't seem to be aware of the fact that a single was due to be released shortly!
Other news - they still have no manager (they've yet to hear back from the ones they've applied to...) or drummer (they haven't even had any auditions yet!).
On Marabou Stork - he was fairly confident that their work had ended up in it - he said the stuff they'd done was not really TCS. None of them have seen it yet though....
Gigs - none planned for the near future. They've just completed some very successful ones in France.
The good news - the album has been selling well in France and Japan..... The USA release is still uncertain...."
