Mick Lynch, still on chart patrol, has observed that LCTWWM rose to #16 in the Norwegian charts - well done to any Norwegian visitors reading this! He also sent in an article from an Irish TV guide about the new album.

In other news, I have finally started the 'Fan Reviews' page, so if you want to see what your fellow visitors made of the new album, click here. Thanks to all who contributed.

Paul Linford sent in a link to a fine article over at his blog, and Katarine Robertson sent in two PDF's from the Glasgow Herald, containing another recent Paddy interview conducted by Graeme Thomson. David Klimek noticed that John Sakamoto of the Toronto Star made 'Angel of Love' his 'anti-hit' of the week (I am assured that is a good thing.)

And finally, a Wendy-only version of the intro to 'Ice Maiden' surfaced on the forums, though nobody (least of all me) knows where it came from. You can download it here.

Plenty to keep you going there! I feel like things will be starting to quiet down now, at least a bit, so I'll take this opportunity to thank everyone who's contributed to the site in the last few months - it certainly has been quite an experience. And one, I suspect, that most other band websites would love go through!

This was drawn to our attention in the first few weeks of Sproutnet's existence, Jamie, and comes from Miranda 'Old Spoonface' Diboll's very own 'The Wendy Smith Webcorner' (last updated 10 years ago):

Well i've just downloaded it, and listened to it ten times in a row and thought it was great.

Had to turn it off as I was starting to feel like a bit of a stalker.

Right time to go and do some Dad dancing to "Ride"

Actually it's better than that - no 16.

Thanks for the correction Langley...in my defense, a 6 does look a lot like a 9. And Jim, your memory is simply heroic - what would I do without you? I will credit Miranda on the next post.

At your service! :D

Yes, especially if you turn it around. The similarities are stunning.

Jimi Hendrix - 'If 6 was 9'

"If the sun refused to shine
I don't mind, I don't mind
If the mountains fell in the sea
Let it be - it ain't me
Well, all right

Got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you

Yeah, sing the song, brother
Now if six turned out to be nine
Oh, I don't mind, I don't mind - well, all right
If all the hippies cut off all their hair
Oh I don't care, oh I don't care"

Ah yes, that was around the time I lost the password to the account, ten years ago :-/

We can all enjoy the Wendy only intro by pressing your ear to the right hand speaker!! Thomas Dolby was breaking the ground with that one *lol*

I'd forgotten about it as well, to be honest.

As for the Webcorner, Wendy still hasn't sent me the cheque she promised me for setting it up so I told her "No money, no site update, Babe"

:D
