Music, and Kabballah in the BotNS

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

quote from Brendan Perry (half of the group) in his .sig., so I can't be the
only person who likes both Gene Wolfe and Dead Can Dance!>

Well, I enjoy the music of Dead Can Dance (at least the songs that Perry
writes; I can't stand Lisa's nonsense), but that's not to say everyone here
will enjoy it. Saying that BotNS people will like DCD just because of the
latter's dark, gothic atmosphere degenerates the BotNS into your usual swor=
d-
and-sorcery epic, which it is most certainly not! Incidentally, I've been
meaning to change that signature macro for some time, and will prolly do so
after I mail this post.

BTW, does anyone have a copy of the Encyclopedia Judaica? A rabbi recommend=
ed
I consult that for a definition fo "Madregot," which appears to be a Hebrew
word (my web searches for it turn up Hebrew pages).
