Yay, maybe she'll die. But then she *is* better than all the crappy Jesus music and the Guitar junk (old and new/alternative - and BTW how does White Zombie become Alternative????) Then there's crappy talk radio, and the sports garbage, and classless classical, and shitty jazz, not to mention easy-listening/hits of the 80's, oh did I mention hits of the 70's too? Detroit is a radio wasteland (Esp. since Deep Space Radio went off the air - it had Kevin S, and Juan Atkins, and that Carter guy, and D-Wynn, and Stacy Pullham, and Eddie Fowlkes, and special guests like Steve Hurley, sometimes all in one night, damn!) I guess a little Bjork on NPR is better than all that crap, so keep her alive I guess.

I'm not all that big of a Bjork fan, and I realize this is not a totally serious comment, but it is idiotic nonetheless. Tony

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right. C'mon, this is totally uncalled for. Tho I have to say I adore B's newest, `Post.' Brilliant use of Scanner's stuff, for one, plus incredible romp thru cheesy-to-massively cool styles... cathy +++++ Curtis@news.latimes.com

Maybe he made her sick :-) All I heard was that she wasn't feeling well, dunno if the entire west coast shows will be affected or not. -H-

apparently scanner's management nailed her 'cuz the sample wasn't adequately cleared. i'm not sure whether they decided to pay up or yank the sample, but i just found it kind of ironic that scanner, master of public domain melodrama, would press for royalty clearance.

I'd use slightly stronger language than that. Considering the nature of Scanner's recorded output, I'd say this action is hypocritical and pathetic. Tony
