No.  Zena clued me in.  She learned from her friend Karen, who was
introduced by her beau Randy, who's from Ohio... etc, etc.  The bloodline
of Over the Rhine introduction.

I do that.  Earlier this year I got Richard Davies "Telegraph" based on a
review in Mojo Magazine (I think they said something like "quietly
beautiful"), and I bought Radiohead's "OK Computer" after reading a 2 line
rave at the end of an issue of 'Q' which said something like "I finally
broke down and bought it.  It's actually better than everyone says, if
that's possible."

Both: turned out to be gems.
