BLECH. I take ownership of the crankypants today.

In the Red Skies video one of the band members was wearing a t-shirt that I also had at that time, a white shirt with a large red cross on it, with a few roses and a bunch of black silhouettes of B-52 bombers arranged in a grid superimposed over it.  There was another more obscure video that also had someone wearing the shirt, but I onlyheard about it second hand.  I was quite the New Wave-styled guy at the time.

Very obscure Fixx trivia:  what was the first name they recorded under in the UK?

I agree -- and am pleasantly surprised. I thought your Gazkypants didn't much care for Mr Crenshaw.

BOS1, Townshend's Exquisitely Bored. Love "All the best Cowboys..."--his best solo work by a long shot.

Back to overwork-week day 2.

Hee! My avatar is none other than the murderous "He Who Kills"! The bizarre Zuni doll that Karen Black receives as a gift in the 70's TV movie classic: Trilogy of Terror!

Snooze to the Fixx.  Glad I missed "Working Girl," such weird condescension there.  Expecting to get "Everywhere I'm Not" or "Belly of the Whale" since Dave's getting his modern-rock swerve on today.


Burning Sensations are '83, but it's too bad Dave can't do a Members/Burning Sensations twin-spin.

It occurs to me for the first time that this song is something of an Eagles parody/commentary.

I remember seeing that!  Wow, what a great pop culture reference that is!

It looks like one of David Lindley's self-portraits.

No, I dig just about everything I've heard from him.  Actually, I thought it was POC who didn't like MC.

Should have seen Missing Persons coming.  Would like this even better if she didn't cheapen herself with that Betty Boop bullshit.
