Speechless.  Just. Speechless.

Til Tuesday "Coming Up Close" in a Christmas set, changes the song completely.  Ginger really is good.


Coming up close.
Everything sounds like 'Welcome home'.
Come home.

I'm listening to the Simpsons at 50% speed.  Very bizarre.  Are you getting the show at normal speed?

Y'all often dish on him, but I like Chris Rea, and i've never heard this song, "Driving Home For Christmas".  So at least because it's a first listen I give it a BOS #2.

Yeah, nice and crisp.  But it wouldn't load at all the first time.  Spent 2 minutes 'connecting'. Retry & you might be better off.

I didn't hear the intro to the set, but everything seems to include 'home' in it, right?

It' a very deep emotion.  I don't have a 'family home' to return to anymore, certainly not my widowed mother's cluttered apartment.  But still...

That is a lovely song, a CG Xmas fave each year.  I have it on CD if y'all want a copy.

No luck connecting here at home with dial-up, but from your posts it sounds like a wonderful set.  Ginger rules!

BTW, Annalisa just played John & Yoko, which makes me suspect Dave's "classic" may not be a holiday set.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

I can't listen, due to the half-speed thing, but I assume Kenny's "Celebrate Me Home" (a guilty pleasure and mild sledgehammer for me) will show up, so there's my BOS.

As for Til Tuesday, I was thinking to myself, "damn, I'd really liked to have heard that" -- and it actually took minutes to realize that I own the song on an '80s comp.  Any of you ever forget what you have?  Regularly?

Any of you frequently find yourself re-buying stuff that you already own?  And it's obscure shit that you can't easily re-gift?

OK, I was able to connect normally (their page is now Firefox-compliant!), just in time for the gorgeous "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)."  Now I'm getting a little sentimental about people I wish I were spending the holidays with.

I've done that with Seal and Annie Lennox, both of which were re-gift-able.
