Agreed, although I'd love to hear some Cheap Trick--they were huge in my 1978 world, but so far they haven't made it into a 10@10 for this year so far as I recall.

ETA: As I suspected--just consulted Mark's magic DB and found we've heard exactly two song (I Want You to Want Me and The Flame) four times each--in 1978 and 1988 sets respectively (although one of the 88 incidences was representing that year in a VT).

TANC: I was just listening to the Earth album in its near-entirety yesterday.  Love that one but I was moreso in the mood for her malcontent anthem "Show Yourself."  "Are you RCA? Are you Standard Oil? Are you AT&T? I wanna see!"

Hope you've all been well.  I've been flush with work but also sufficiently annoyed with humanity that I decided to bail on most of it for the past week-plus.  Now just biding time until November elections and January job prospects give me an idea of whether 2007 might be a better year than this one.

I made a cassette for dancing in between our old band's sets, I nicknamed Disco Dummy, and this track was the leadoff.  Audience reaction was more positive to the tape than our first set, although it also tended to warm them up for our next set!

I heard that too, and it was mos def Big Rick.  I used to really like him, but for the past year or so I have found him just as likely to annoy the crap out of me as to make me grin.  Once he started playing Gerry I forgot all about it though.
