     I tried sending this via email to you, but the mailer here thinks the
Atlantic Ocean is an unpassable barrier.  Or it's never heard of the
Netherlands.  Or both.

     I remember hearing bits and pieces of a song in a small interview/filler
of Suzanne Vega on Mtv.  The song sounded more like the songs on her first
album, and I assume the song they were sampling was the new single.  Is that
a fair assumption?
     Also, do you know what tracks will be on the single?
     In other words, 5 days is way too long to wait.  :-)

     I think it would be great.  I figure Suzanne Vega has had a large impact
on music, definately enough for her own mailing list.  I might even go so far
as to volunteer to try to get it based on one of the machines here, but I
don't know the local policy for mailing lists and I'm not sure I'd be able to
run the thing if it did get based here.
     Thanks for the info.
