Speaking of PETA, how many watched Larry King last week when he had Sir 
Paul & his lady on.  Paul was reasonable, and I got the impression that 
he was doing this for her rather than any real standup and be counted 
martyrdome, but his lady was not, she had the most impolite, shout down 
all opposition attitude I've ever seen.

It blows me away, since Larry is such a control freak, that he even 
allowed that show back out of the can once it was taped.  It had to be 
very embarrasing for him that he effectively lost control of his own 
program.  She made enemies of people who were still on the fence about 
PETA that night.  Totally ignoreing the mentions by most of the others 
also interviewed that PETA was on the terrorist watch list published by 
DHS, some of them I thought rather pointed & said just to get a 
response that actually addressed the question, but the only response 
was to play the same almost irrevalent shouting match all over again, 
word for word.  If anyone had an opposing view, shout them down was the 
universal manta.

Reasonable people will see PETA for what it is, and my opinion of Sir 
Paul, on a personal scale as opposed to his music, went down many 
notches that night.

And since this thread started with www.jamendo.com, I finally did get 
azureus to get the SEBRIDE album, which I pulled because it "had a 
Vangelis-like" flavor.  Frankly, I found it much more subdued than 
that, and heavily reminiscent of a late night music show on NPR that 
hasn't been on in a while now, called "Nightshades" which seemed to 
have a high percentage of music such as this.  Overall, something you 
could put in a loop as you went to bed & let it go all night, sleeping 
better than usual because of the 'natural' background much of it was 
flavored with.  For that I'll give it a ***** rating.
