Emma: Great research you did on Nathan Shineywater & his collabs with Colm & Hope. Thanks for that info.
I see the Discogs page you link to currently shows a copy of the Berry Shadows cassette for sale for $50.00 U.S.
a bit steep. Unless there's word somewhere Hope actually sings on the track it's appeal for me would be limited. She might just play tambourine or glockenspiel on it as she did on Le Volume Courbe's first album.
Btw, I'm shocked today to see Photobucket, the photo hosting site I've mostly used for embedding photos in threads here, has made good on their one day heads up warning I received from them yesterday by email that "3rd party hosting" (embedding pics in websites) will no longer be a free feature, & to continue it one will need to pay a stiff monthly fee of something over $30 a month. But I won't pay their ransom. Unfortunately, most of the photos I embedded in threads here are gone as of today, & I'll plan on reposting them using another hosting source.
[Later edit: I've found IMGUR photo hosting site offers easy free embedding that works here. This .free.fr site doesn't seem to like HTML codes for embedding. The method available to embed photos from Google Photos and some other sites involves using HTML code. But I couldn't get those to work here. Luckily, IMGUR also offers so-called "BB codes" for embedding, and those do work here. So, my task now is to replace all my embed links here from Photobucket that are now dead with new ones from IMGUR. This task may take a while to complete].
I notice Emma has also embedded some photos here using Photobucket but her Photobucket pics are still intact & viewable here so far. But they may send her a warning soon too. Or maybe they only target users who have reached a certain level of 3rd party hosting usage. They don't say so, but maybe I've reached their new threshold/limit, & Emma hasn't yet, so her pics are safe for now. Also, apparently, they're not cancelling the embedding service on exactly the same day for all customers. I read a post online that some users had received the warning a week ago, though I just received mine yesterday. I just deleted my Photobucket account after downloading them all. I had a lot of ones there I'd re-sized do they'd fit on threads here, & not get cut off. They asked me to type my reasons for cancelling. I was happy to explain, and add
"Go **** yourselves you ********." Ha.
Thanks go to drugstore & alas for their great recent photo posts above.
I'm dubious though about the colour diner photo being legit. I could be wrong, but it strikes me as perhaps a product of someone creatively colourizing a B&W photo. The colour doesn't look natural to my eyes, especially the skin tones. And for some reason, I have doubts Hope would have chosen to wear that colour top with that colour shorts - not her style, imo, but a photo-shopper might have thought it a good idea! Put me as "skeptical" on that one.
