BOS to XTC's "God," perhaps a Katrina by some measures, but a rather powerful listen for me today, as I've been in another bout of Godboxing since Christmastime.  But that's neither here nor there.  Rob segued from that into Steve Miller's "I Wanna Make the World Turn Around," perhaps the flip side of the same coin?

I don't care how important "Red Rain" might be, it's a horribly boring song to my ears.  Left to wash dishes.

Which one of the Bangles is singing lead on the "September Gurls" cover?  Sounds lovely, but no way is it Oh! Susanna.  BOS2.

kudos also to Rob for playing "Crazy Love vol II", a little-played track from Mr Simon's Graceland.
