* Brian Rose, known as the photographer of Suzanne's story of Tom's Diner and one of the founders of Fast Folk, is working on an album produced by Suzanne Vega. (Fast Folk-Musical Magazine, October 1992)
* During her promotional tour in Sept.-Oct., Suzanne participated in a benefit concert sponsored by Pavarotti, and staged at his ranch in Modena, Italy. Suzanne performed In Liverpool (singing live to a backing track), and her performance will likely be included on a video and album PolyGram is putting out of the show. Also performing are Sting and Aaron Neville, among others. Pavarotti really seems to like Suzanne.
* The video for the second single 99.9 F° is being directed by the same fellow, Nico Beyer, who did Blood Makes Noise. In Europe Blood Makes Noise will probably be worked after 99.9 F°. After that, the next likely single is When Heroes Go Down. The video will be directed by Peter Care, and will feature appearances by Mitchell Froom on keyboards, Tchad Blake on guitar, and Bruce Thomas on bass. Next year we hope to write a review about the four videos.
* There exist several remixes of Blood Makes Noise. One is by Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake. The others are by C&C Music Factory. These are mainly being used to promote the single in clubs and they are available only on the 12" vinyl single.
* Rock In This Pocket is part of a German compilation album which is a promotional and charitable project. It is a TV advertised album sold at a reduced price. The purpose of including one of Suzanne's tracks is to get the music heard by a range of people who might otherwise not hear it.
* A World Tour will commence Suzanne and band in the U.S. on January 28, 1993. The U.S./Canada leg will last until March 16 or 17. A European leg will follow in April and May. The only dates announced so far are those on the list. Other dates will hopefully be announced shortly. By then every member of the Info Center will receive a newsletter.
The band will include Marc Shulman, Mike Visceglia and Frank Vilardi. Mark
Hart, who has played with Crowded House among others, will play keyboards
for the U.S. leg. Mitchell Froom himself will play keyboards for the
European leg. Kitchens of Distinction support on all shows.

Suzanne Vega sta lavorando al suo quarto album negli studi Dreamland Recordings a Bearsville. La produzione e affidata a Mitchell Froom (Los Lobos, Peter Case, Elvis Costello, Pretenders, Crowded House) che suona anche le tastiere in tutto il disco. Froom ha interpellato, come session men, Jerry Marotta alla batteria e Bruce Thomas al basso, il disco dovrebbe contenere 13 o 14 brani. Ecco alcuni dei titoli probabilmente coinvolti: "Rock in this pocket", "Blood makes noise", "When heroes go down", "In Liverpool", "Bad Wisdom", "Song of sand".
