or so I'm assuming...

Mike, are you off today?  Is everyone else?  I'm "off," but at some point I need to go into the office for a few hours to catch up on some work.  Not looking forward to it.  But in three weeks, my work on this book will be done and I can catch my breath.

No, I'm working. Kaiser doesn't even give us day-after-Thanksgiving, much less MLK Day.

It's a nice enough song, but doesn't have the high energy I usually associate with a "cooker."  That had a fine rainy day mellow vibe, but cooked like a crock pot.

Flat on my back all last week with back pain (actually from Sat-Sat).  Nasty flare up.  Better today but not yet 100%.  Heard every set, but sitting up at a keyboard was pretty much the worst thing I could do, so I just stayed off the computer entirely.  Missed you guys too!

I going to ask my doctor to take a picture of my insides tomorrow right about at this time.  Last x-rays of my spine are 7 yrs old, and I'm a little concerned that my condition may have deteriorated.

i fear that line may have inspired my own:

"I paid a doctor to take a camera to my brain
And analyse all the shots she took
But the negatives came out a bit too dark"

damn pop culture brainwashing rearing its ugly head. :)

Wow -- that's great!

I googled to get the "Jane Dornacker" reference; I remember her as the traffic reporter killed in a NYC helicopter crash but I never knew she was in Pearl Harbor's pre-Explosions band, or that she CO-WROTE the Tubes' "Don't Touch Me There" (!)

Yeah, she was part of the Tubes stage entourage for years pre-Pearl Harbor. It was a fairly prominent news story here when she died, because of all her local connections. Very tragic--I think she left a daughter, iirc.

I'm not sure I knew she died.  I remember her (unless this is another of my senile memories) as Leila of Leila and the Snakes.

Finally had time to watch a few of the videos that guy compiled. Nice job--wonder if he'll keep it up? I'd imagine doing years from the late 70s onward might have more videos available to work with. But maybe not--I never cease to be amazed what turns up on YouTube.

Dug the Split Enz--cool to see the *very* young Neil Finn mugging for the camera. And the Gary Numan was cool, if dated. Also, noticed that the singer from the Vapors has almost the same haircut I had in that timeframe.

I was thinking of leaving a comment on his page with a link back here, in case he's as over the top about 10@10 as we are.

When I was poking around on his blog, I realized he's made a regular thing of compiling a video 10@10--he's done both Tuesdays and Wednesday's sets as well.

Geoff, we might want to add his URL to the links page, particularly if he keeps this up.
