Aus dem Rundbrief der wunderbaren Band "Handsome Family" an ihre Fans (es kommen dann, später im Brief, auch Infos zur neuen CD und Tourdaten):

FUN HOME PROJECTS!

Make a ghost tape!
It's easy. Simply place a blank cassette into your recorder and press 'record'. Turn out lights and ask the darkness, "Is there anyone out there who would like to speak to me?" Sit quietly until tape recorder clicks off. Now just rewind the tape and listen. Listen carefully! Is that your dead grandmother telling you where the government bonds are hidden? Or, could it be Jack the Ripper singing "Silent Night"? Too many ghosts on your tape? Simply fill your shoes with salt to disperse unwanted presences.

Learn to understand animals!
Simply bury yourself underground for one full month with a small breathing tube in your mouth leading up to the surface. No cheating! Try to focus on
white light only. Most yogis who accomplish this discover upon returning to the surface world they are now able understand everything from the flick of
a lizard's tongue to the growl of a rabid dog. Caution: unpleasant side effects such as flowers growing from abdomen and unexpected levitations have been noted.

Was es heißt, mit der schönsten Musik der Welt gerade mal so durchzukommen, erfährt man hier:

"Also--somewhere toward the end of the Irish shows, maybe in Cork or Dublin, Brett's brother Darrell will arrive and begin to play drums with us and sing lovely harmonies. (...zehn Tourneedaten später:) Somewhere in here Darrell will go home and our invisible, electronic drummer will join us again. Sorry, but some of us have jobs to keep."
