Looks like a good year. I'll tune in at 10:00.

When Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer" came out, I knew they were something special, something different. "Take Me to the River" confirmed that, in a big way.

Ooh, funky weird version of EW&F's "Fantasy", with some additional verses. Seems a little off.

Yeah, definitely an extended version of some kind.

Overall, a few semi-rarities, a bunch of FFs, but not anything I'm jumping up and down about.

Oh and he flubbed the name of Darkness on the Edge of Town in the backsell. Called it "Darkness on the Edge of Night." Wonder if he was a soap-opera geek or something?
Let's get right to it.

I caught that too. Rolled my eyes, I did.
