Red Sails is definitely my favorite Oils CD and listen to it all the =
time. They will never top this album. If I recall the story on Bakerman, =
they wrote it as a sort of thank you for the band that did all the horn =
work on the other tracks. Some high scholl band?? I don't exactly recall =
but as a thank you they included on the disc. I think its a great way to =
lighten the mood of some of the other dark and depp meaning tracks it is =
surrounded with.=20

Keep listening if you're an Oils fan its sure to sink in!

  Hello all you workers, hope the new year's going well for you. (Are =
you keeping your resolutions?)=20

  I picked up Red Sails in the Sunset this week, and have listened to it =
5-6 times up till now. As someone who's more familiar with the Oils' =
newer music (ie: 90's) I admit I don't quite know what to make of it. =
Lyrically, it's fine, the politics are fine, it's the music that's a bit =
wierd to me. (it could just be part of my deeply ingrained bias against =
80's music)=20
  I was wondering what other people thought of this album? Is it =
anyone's favorite, or least favorite? And the song Bakerman-- what the =
hell?? That's not intended to be a rude question, I just have no idea =
where this song came from, does anyone know the story behind it?=20
  In the end the album will probably grow on me....to the point where I =
love it, but right now I'm just a tad bit bewildered by it all...=20
  On another subject, has anyone else had trouble getting into the =
Powderworks archive in the past few days? My computer keeps telling me =
that the server is down. Anyone know what's going on?=20

  One month and.... six days till Capricornia is released here. I hope =
it won't be too hard to track down here in North America. Have many =
people heard the new single on the radio? I've been listening but I =
don't know if there are any stations in Montreal that would actually =
play it. Radio here sucks.=20

  Anyway enough random thoughts from me today=20

  Take care everyone=20

  Varina=20
