- Two quick things ...
-
- 1. You're not the only USENET reader from Holland (maybe of
- alt.music.alternative, but I'd be surprised ...), and
-
- 2. Other USENET groups for music existed long before this one.
- That's what I was referring to ... and from talking to people
- from Europe here at Columbia, it lends credence to what those
- folks posted in the past.
-
- REM, Siouxsie, etc. can play some pretty big halls in North
- America these days, too. (-;
