Theo>disappointing that 'Freedom' and 'I Change My Mind' aren't on
there,
but I'm sure the other new ones will be good....from what I heard
of 'April Showers' it some nice vocals by Doug and some pretty nice
guitar licks too

You have a copy of Freedom?  Is this the "A Box" single?  Lucky Duck I
have never seen this thing in this area.  I heard Freedom is a monster
tune; the single version of A Box is to die for.  All in all its a
pretty diverse track list with some of Ty's best vocal work (Mr. Wilson,
Its Love).  The three new tracks sound pretty good from the snippets
I've heard on the bands website.  The Over My Head version is supposed
to be a real extended jam, great song studio or live.

Yeah Ty played everything but drums (machine beats) and it seems like he
will repeat this on the commercial release with Alan Doss, Galactic
Cowboys drummer on the kit.  Will be great to have both versions.
Rumors continued to swirl that the band was breaking up becuase of Ty's
solo sucess and projects that Doug and Jery are involved in.  Don't bet
on it, these guys are just too good together.

Andy>They made an album called _Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing_, didn't
they?  SYL, that is?  Any good?

Beats me.  Didn't know this was a band.  My reference comes from some
old movie I can't remember and the fact JS playfully refers to himself
as an "old fart".  Somehow JS I think you are a long ways away from
that.

>Sick & Twisted for sure, but not heavy metal - not even really hard rock per
se.  There's country stuff, jazzy stuff, disco-y stuff, ballad-y stuff,
malad-y stuff, one song that reminds me of Gilbert & Sullivan (not
Gilbert
O'Sullivan :-) and an obscene reconstitution of Chuck Berry's "No
Particular
Place To Go" called "Auto Erotica".  And a lot of stuff that I am hard
put to
classify.  Zappa's stuff is the closest thing I can relate this CD to,
but I
found this a lot funnier than Zappa.  tBS fans already know that he
plays one
mean and tasty guitar.

Diversity, the spice of music life.  This sounds like a really
interesting and entertaining effort.
