Press water out of quilt. Use towels to blot more water out. Lift the quilt on the screen (textiles are at their weakest when wet) and lay the quilt flat to dry...either on top of a clean sheet laid on the floor or outside. If you are putting the quilt outside to dry, cover the top with another sheet so that nothing falls on the quilt. Inside, put a fan on the quilt. After the top seems dry, turn it over and let the back side dry.

Marissa, there isn't a single person on this board that doesn't agree with you, yet most of them still feel your music to be a bit bland; perhaps a retread of Loreena McKennitt's stuff from the very early '90s but with less flair still. You've also found yourself in the very unenviable position of swimming in a pool of sharks, and we're often just waiting to rip a poor little seal to shreds... why? Because we're a bunch of strong-opinioned pricks (sometimes) who like to really get at the root of how music and culture affect one another. The truth is, most of us have nothing to do with the music industry, at least from a major-label angle, (some are journalists, but we're hardly part of the "industry" per se) and contrary to what you might think about how we "support" artists and art, we actually fucking love music so deeply (it is called I Love Music after all) that we're just basically insulted when crap artists foist their junk onto us and call it music and then demand certain respect for their less-than-worthy output. (search threads for the name Michael Costello... we just couldn't seem to kill that kid... good sport, he is, and i think many of us have grown to like him around!)

Despite the fact that I, and many of us here, find your songs to be incredibly tired and completely the antithesis of what challenging, kicking-against-the-pricks music should sound like (believe it or not, that's what we're really trying to get at), I'm sure that with all the ravenous music consumers on the net there is indeed a place for you where you will find a supportive fanbase. But if it hasn't yet dawned on you, the I Love Music board just isn't that place. When it comes to promoting yourself, it would serve you well to do a bit of research before you put your name out there and when you do put your name out there, recognize that you'll never be able to control what happens to it once you have.

To my delight, she will rant again soon though.

halifax is nice this time of year, but the white snow cone globes never embrace sea shanties echoing through the icy mist, the nicest reminder of why i love you through the thick and thin. warm weather melts my heart into yours and why don't we go together into the new millenium? i never want to see you cry into the microphone again, for it is the silent stare of the moonlight that casts tears in your eyes, as you leave me far behind in the satin sheets of white cloudscover. it is sad, alas, that we live a reality in which highlights magazine is not the highlight, but a new world savage death cult imagery. but rest tightly, marissa, as we all live with you in big flannel empress wax crystals.

love,
jerry

Thanks for the LOL, marissa!
