Rabid Following overheard at Audio Art Recording: Dwayne: Are all of your songs this short?
Gayleen: Yeah. I have a terrible attention span.
Dwayne: Seriously? Is that the reason?
Gayleen: Do you remember where I put my bike seat? If you need a
DAT, I think there's one in my backpack. Are those your Smarties,
or are they for, like, anyone?

    Gayleen's been in mastering this month, finishing the rest of the songs for Chimera
at Audio Art with the very patient Mr. Dwayne Harder. She says she's pleased with the new album, which still centres on piano and voice, but includes multi-tracked vocals and a variety of piano sounds. Gayleen describes Chimera's sound as "kind of humid". Please feel free to write Rabid Following if you have any idea what that means.
    A video has been completed for the song Act of God, which will be on Plague (a promotional EP), and also on Chimera. A QuickTime version of the video itself will be on Plague, along with an interview, song info, lyrics, and clips from Obituary. When Chimera is released this February, Gayleen also plans to release the video.
    F.A.Q., an unproduced play by Saskatoon author Jamie Simpson, was the
inspiration for two of the songs on Obituary. Now this play is in the early stages of production, and should be performed in Saskatoon as an AIDS benefit sometime in late fall or early winter.
    The director is planning to include Inheritance and Obituary in the house music,
and the origin of the songs will be mentioned in the play's program.
    Gayleen will be having her now traditional Hallowe'en concert this year at the
Cliff Wright Auditorium in the Lakeview Civic Centre at 1635 McKercher Drive. It will be happening on October 30, 1998 and the doors will open at 7:30. Admission is a measly two bucks. Be there in costume if you like, or, for god's sake, at least have the decency to throw underwear this time.
