Very nice (heh) to hear Ambrosia.  I bet we get some "Born to Run" action in there to.  Maybe in a couple more songs...


Hey Dave, you up for lunch with me & the princess tomorrow?

VVHM to ELO.  Y'all know how great a production I think this is.  As close as Jeff Lynne ever came to FONKY.


Agreed. The last great ELO record--the ones that followed seemed to have lost something, and when he canned his string section, well, it was all over.

There was a reconstituted ELO touring on the Konocti oldies circuit a couple years back--anyone know who was in it or if they were any good?

An ELO tour would seem to me a case of utterly missing the point.  They were/are the quintessential headphones band this side of Tears For Fears.

Good call. She's the One or maybe Night would be nice (nice, very nice) to hear.
Let's get right to it.

they had a pretty good televised live show last year, or three years ago - i don't quite remember. the acoustics were great wherever they played. but i'm not too impressed with the sound at konochti...

Beej!  Would Razsty know where to find us if he ever had free time for the clubhouse again?

Three hours later than expected, I get my YA fix.  Nice job, Mr. Sanborn.  I don't want to cast a BOS, though: I'm holding out hope for a true surprise.

I got something else on Friday, let's do it tomorrow.  POC, you got a preference for ethnic food on Castro Street?  My last 3 times there were for Thai, Indian & Italian, but I am totally open to suggestions.

BOS2 to Bowie's Young Americans. This record and Station to Station are by far my two faves of his, and that's saying a lot.

Still waiting for this set's Gomer though--although perhaps the Marley song was it. Just didn't quite feel like one.
