Cold Mountain
I just finished this book (Civil War novel), which was damn good, and I was looking in my atlas for Cold Mountain and could not find it. This may be a dumb question, but is there actually a Cold Mountain somewhere in North Carolina? Could anyone from that part of the country help me out?

Re: CD Length?
I just read somewhere that bootleggers are trying to make their cd's as long as possible, to prevent others from bootlegging the bootlegs (there's a fine distinction for ya) by copying them on cd-r. The article said that the max for cd-r was around seventy-four minutes. Ne dada. TWM [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone happen to know the maximun amount of music that can fit on a single CD? Gracias.

Forward: Internet B92 Serbian radio station shuts down
Not sure if this has been reported here. Subject: FC: Internet B92 Serbian radio station shuts down Date: Fri, 02 Apr 1999 14:00:50 -0500 From: Declan McCullagh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pressrelease Radio B92 Amsterdam, April 2, 1999 Sound of B92 Banned Government officials have shut down radio B92 - silencing the last independent voice in Serbia. In the early hours of Friday morning, April 2, police officers arrived to seal the station's offices, and ordered all staff to cease work and leave the premises immediately. A court official accompanied the police. He delivered a decision from the government-controlled Council of Youth to the station's manager of 6 years - Sasa Mirkovic - that he had been dismissed. The council of youth replaced Sasa Mirkovic with Aleksandar Nikacevic, a member of Milosevic's ruling Socialist Party of Serbia, thus bringing B92 under government control. B92 has been the only source of alternative information in and from Serbia since the start of NATO airstrikes against Yugoslavia 10 days ago. Although a ban on the station's transmitter in the morning of the first day of airstrikes - Wednesday March 24 - took the station off the air, B92 has continued to broadcast news and information via the Internet and satellite. On the same day as Federal Telecommunications' officials seized the station's transmitter police officers also detained the station's chief editor - Veran Matic. He was released unharmed and without explanation eight hours later. Since the transmission ban on B92 the station has been heavily policed and has been operating under severe restrictions. The ban on B92 is the latest in a series of crackdowns on free media in the past week. The wave of media repression has resulted in the closure of a large number of members of the B92-led independent broadcasting network - ANEM, and all independent press. Since the launch of B92 news broadcasts on the web last Wednesday its site has had some 15 million visitors. Support sites such as http://helpb92.xs4all.nl report 16,000 visitors per day. Local radio stations across Europe have been re-broadcasting b92 audio signal from the Internet. B92 is the leading independent broadcaster in Yugoslavia, and established the national re-broadcasting network of 35 radio and 18 television stations - ANEM - in 1996. The station was due to celebrate its 10th anniversary this May. -- POLITECH -- the moderated mailing list of politics and technology To subscribe: send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this text: subscribe politech More information is at http://www.well.com/~declan/politech/ -- === -- Tom Mohr usually here: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sometimes here: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Soft Boys (was Re: Inflammable Material on WXDU Playlist)
You can also try here: http://www.robynhitchcock.com/giftshop.htm There's some Soft Boys stuff, but most of the listings are for the UK releases, which do not have the bonus tracks that were on the Ryko reissues. TWM Carl Abraham Zimring wrote: Ryko's contract to distribute the Soft Boys' catolog expired late last year. You might try looking on the www.fegmania.org site to see if they have any leads as to where to get the deleted titles. Hopefully, Hitchcock will sign a new distribution deal for this stuff soon, as it ranks with his finest work. Carl Z.

Clockwork Orange (was Re: RIP Stanley Kubrick)
Regarding "A Clockwork Orange", Iain Noble wrote: If I'm baffled by anything it's Tom's description of the film as 'decadent' and 'appalling'. I think he's confusing depiction with approval. and You might disapprove of what something shows or says but that doesn't mean it's bad art. I've tried before to articulate my disgust with this film, and I usually end up pointing to another Chicago critic: A Clockwork Orange Capsule by Dave Kehr From the Chicago Reader A very bad film--snide, barely competent, and overdrawn--that enjoys a perennial popularity, perhaps because its confused moral position appeals to the secret Nietzscheans within us. It's a movie that Leopold and Loeb would have loved, endorsing brutality in the name of nonconformism. At best, Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film suggests an Animal House with bogus intellectual trappings. But the trappings--the rationalizations and spurious arguments--are what make it genuinely irresponsible, genuinely abhorrent. With Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, and Michael Bates. A number of friends have told me to see "Silence of the Lambs", and I've avoided it for the same reasons that I dislike "Clockwork Orange". I don't think you can make a good movie (or good art) about serial killers who eat people or about amoral rapists. http://onfilm.chireader.com/MovieCaps/C/CL/02005_CLOCKWORK_ORANGE.html -- Tom Mohr at the office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] at the home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and when the office server is down: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ DO YOU YAHOO!?
