Well I'll tell you this, working on the Elfshrine is not fun. I spent several hours on that yesterday to get no where..and I deleting a whole page of pictures, only to have the site tell me that I was at my quota? So that was time wasted, I will spend no more than an hour on that. I really want to come up with another page or so in my story, cos I know that my dear readers can't live without an installment..and I've not delivered any reading material in several days..My humble apologies.

A friend of mine through trading circles made a Costello cd called The Songs Summer Sings "The Relationship Rollercoaster" I really want to make a cd of like that...to continue on..in the same vein...It has mostly songs EC did himself ..but also 2 songs from the album with Anne Sofie Von Otter...For the Stars..

Java is doing a great job at listing her new wave mp3 collection at her diary..I'd do that..but it would take too much time..suffice to say that the music whore has too many mp3s and cds to begin to catalog everything..

But I'm going to offer some more suggestions to those of you that are into the new wave scene...or 80's music..or what not..

Elvis Costello...Get it all dammit..if not..Punch the Clock is the most new wavey of this "God"'s collection
