Tetuzi Akiyama is a pretty incredible talent IMO.

"Christina Carter (who now uses Madonia as her surname) and Tom Carter are no longer married and live on the east and west coasts, respectively."

"Konstantinos Charalambides is a greek football player ..."

Charalambides was also the surname of a costumer at the record shop in Houston where Tom and Christina Carter worked in the early 90's. That's where they got the name from.

Did anyone see them playing with Thurston at SXSW by the way?

Thanks. Always interesting to hear something like this.

they are very good live. shame i missed them at atp but what can you do?
