Someday... when I've got lots of money...

"Out of the frying pan into the fire" - is that a set phrase in English?
I'm thinking of a possible Deep Purple connection here...
though it sounds unlikely...

I've seen it several times but never listened to it.
One would really like to know why they choosed to play covers of _Canadian_
bands... funny theme of a album.

Holland? I don't know much 'bout Motorhead... but of course I've heard (I
own it on CD) "Leaving Here"... is it a Pink Faires composition?
(Looks like I haven't done my homework properly).

Yep! Too bad I couldn't afford to go there this year (but the wheather
was not so nice... I took a trip to Holland the same week...)

I'm afraid I didn't. But I've heard it. Wasn't the show broadcasted sometime
this fall? If it was... I think I know a person on BOC-l who might have
it.
Somebody who's still waiting with big patience for his Kyuss tape. (Gah! I
hate myself... Varfor far jag aldrig tummen ur roven?)
