09.30 - There's a couple of old but nice postings about Kasim Sulton's 2001 tour dates on the Score! Magazine News Board. The first says "Kasim Sulton-- who is Utopia, Hall & Oates, Joan Jett’s bassist-- has more dates, he's got a romantic vibe so bring your own date to his shows" (and it lists KasimInfo.com as "The best "fan" website on the Internet"!). Click here to view it. The second (click here) says "Kasim Sulton is a romantic singer who is famous for his bass work with Hall & Oates, Utopia, Joan Jett, Meat Loaf".

00.45 - From the "well it made me laugh category", my site counter allows me to view the search words that people enter in search engines in order to find KasimInfo.com. Obviously most hits are via "Kasim Sulton" and "Kasim Sultan" but a lot of the searches are also via "Todd Rundgren", "Meat Loaf" and "Night Of The Proms". Two of the funniest searches this pastweek have been "Antwerp is boring" and "Why is Kasim so black?"! KasimInfo.com is actually top of the sites in the "Why is Kasim so black?" category on Google.com! Incidentally Google.com is by far the most popular serach engine on this site with 47% of the search engine links.

I, for one, am becoming VERY Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf starved!! New product is what I crave. I was thinking of who should be on this album the other day, and cannot stop wondering how awesome it would be to have Kas finally get a lead vocal on a Steinman track. I mean, the guy has been in the background of some of the best Steinsongs on the planet.
