Rich Hagensen sent on an amazing collection of articles, posters, and other Shadowy stuff for the web. I'll
be scanning them and adding them to the web as I have time. Today's update is what I've scanned so far. Thanks Rich!!

November 19, 2002
- Michael and Jo from The Sin-Tones sent on a correction to my listings of
the members of Heatseekers. They should know, former Heatseekers' drummer Sean Dignan
is now The Sin-Tones drummer. A week or so later, I got my very own copy of the Heatseekers single (thanks Marc!),
and in a big surprise, there's an insert that actually lists the band members! Anyway, the
Heatseekers member and singles pages are updated.
- Got a flyer from Alex Koch for Reid Diamond's short-lived band,
Good Guys. Don't know much apart from what's on the flyer, but what I do know is
on the new Good Guys page.
- Added some scans of MOTO's single Magic Words to the Etc.
page. MOTO's drummer was the bride in the marriage for which the S Men recorded Just Married
as a wedding favor. Thanks Ted!
- Added some new scans of the Shadowy Men matchbook to the Etc. page.
Thanks Marc!
- Added a new Atomic 7 article to the Written Word page. Thanks Marc!
- Touched up the text on the Brain Candy soundtrack. Thanks Sean!
October 25, 2002
- At long last! The answer to the question that has plaged scholars for ages ... Did Shadowy Men record the
theme to Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy? Well, I cheated and asked Don Pyle. The answer is ... is ... on
the Soundtracks page. Thanks Don!
October 24, 2002
- Got a scan of a cool new Crash Kills Five poster (for "A Crash Kills Five Christmas"). It's on the
Posters page. Thanks Marc!
- Marc also sent along the story behind the title "That Wuz Ear Me Callin' A Horse". I've added
that to the notes for the entry for Music For Pets. Thanks!

- Got a nice surprise ... my copy of ... Gowns By Edith Head is here - Thanks Patrick! I've updated
the Atomic 7 singles and albums page, and updated the
Buyer's Guide with some initial thoughts.
- Added an excellent new interview to the Written Word page. It's an
interview with Reid from National Chart magazine from May, 1993. A must read,
one of the best articles I've got.

- Mint Records sent over a scan of the template
that will be used for ... Gowns By Edith Head. Very, very cool. The info (and cover art) on
the Atomic 7 album page has been updated, and the whole scan is on the
Etc. page. Thanks Mint!
- Moved the info on Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy to the Soundtracks page.
It's a movie soundtrack, not a compilation. And besides, I learned that "I Know A Guy Named Larry" is used in one
of the trailers, so it really fits better over there. Thanks Sean!
- Updated the Savvy Show Stoppers Cover Art page with scans of the
single-sheet insert that came in the album.
September 18, 2002
- Added three new posters sent in from James Booth. Thanks James!
While I was at it, I rearranged the Posters page to make it a little more
organized, and moved two items to the Etc. and Pictures pages,
'cause that's really where they belonged.

Details on the release are on the Crash Kills Five compilations page.

January 17, 2002
- The first lyrics update in 4.5 years! OK, it's not that big a deal. Sean pointed out to me that
there's a little studio talk at the beginning of Phono-Comb's "It's A Long Way Back", and since I've listed everything
else like that, I updated the Fresh Gasoline lyrics. Thanks Sean.
- Updated the listing for Savvy Show Stoppers. I'd forgotten that the
album was originally released in 1988 on Glass Records in the UK. After Glass went under, Cargo picked up the album
and re-released it in 1990.
- Added a new linked article to The Written Word. It's Chart Attack's list of the top 100
Canadian albums of all time.
January 13, 2002
