Having nothing to do with the set, but there's an ad for Leonard Cohen's upcoming tour along the right side of the Sound's 10@10 page and he looks positively geriatric.

Yikes, Sunglasses at Night. Are we sure this is better than '87?
Let's get right to it.

That's a BOS from me.

"Same as it...ever...was." 

BOS #2 live Talking Heads.  I know Mike objects, but to me there is a fraction of live albums that made such an impact that I do remember the songs from the year of the live release at least as well as the original.  And Stop Making Sense was definitely one of them.

Fully agree. I saw that tour twice, and was captivated by the gradually-expanding band, from solo folkie to 10-piece funksters. Byrne sort of copped the latter from P-Funk, but it was quite an eye-opener regardless. The fact that the album was a movie soundtrack (sort of) didn't hurt, as everyone who saw the film got the visual impact to a certain extent.

If Stevie Ray were driving around the Bay Area this morning, I bet he couldn't stand the weather here either.

Ahh, here you are.  Is this a real station, or internet only?  Nice quality stream in any case.

This is the Bangles?   surprised me to read that.
I always thought Susannah Hoffs did the vocals.

Nice piece of pop!

We awoke to sun here this morning, but it's clouding over now, and showers are promised. Had a hell of a cloudburst last night about 11:30 as we were retiring--must have kept up for half an hour at least, I fell asleep to rain pounding on the roof.
