Threads 3 days in a row. Wow.   

I'll be in another all-day meeting (and perhaps Thurs & Fri too).

6. Plimsouls - A Million Miles Away



Nothing egregious, but so far only the Lene Lovich has been really interesting. Short songs though.

agree, but I'll put The Walk and Reap the Wild Wind on my "glad to hear" list.

I've been tired of the Eurythmics for a long time now.

AL in one of her New Wavey moods. But other than the Lene Lovich and Echo/Bmen, this strikes me as fairly pedestrian. I'll be in meetings yet again tomo'w so I'm guessing it'll be either early '70s or '00s.
