Scrawl, yes. Around '97 they signed to a major and released two discs, TRAVEL ON, RIDER (one of their best albums, really-- check out the piano-based song about a religious astronaut near the end; it's called "STorey Musgrave") and then in 1999 or 2000 NATURE FILM (half new songs, half re-recordings of old songs-- especially valuable because the old songs are unavailable on CD; the new recordings aren't very different from the old, except for a better studio, though I do prefer Carolyn's drums). NATURE FILM got deleted almost as soon as it was released (shades of Tommy Keene!), leaving Scrawl to tour in 2000 with no support: I saw them at the Knitting Factory that year and it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. About 15 people showed up. The band used to maintain their own webpage at www.scrawl.net, a site which now appears as a blank page; the last time I checked it (a couple of months ago) they had played some reunion shows in Ohio, but the drummer had moved to Scandinavia, and Marcy and Sue had decided to put the band on hiatus until he returned. Too bad. Anyone know if he's back? steve

In '97 they were signed to a major who put out a retrospective which I
believe had new stuff on it as well as the older stuff (which was
re-recorded?)...

My memory is clouded from that time!
