You're welcome Dave! Let me pass on a little secret of mine: http://gendou.com/ Here, you can download all that anime music in MP3 form that is otherwise unreleased outside of Japan. I make CDs for listening during my commutes and to explain to my musician friends what the heck I'm listening to these days. I've been buying a few CDs when available, especially Asian Kung Fu Generation who are among my favorites. xponent It's the Music Stupid Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
