BOS XTC -- I actually had never really heard of them before, but bought this album just for this song...
Now I'm eight bits...

I may be the Mayor of Simpleton, but I know one thing and that's BOS #6.

(a guaranteed record for my voting in this year)

Not a thing wrong with the Mayor of Simpleton. Irresistible.

Even allowing for the novelty at having someone new driving the bus, AL is pulling out some pretty good stuff. She may stay. :)

Ooh, "Here's Where the Story Ends" is a real sledgehammer for me.  And a great song.  I heard this song on vacation on the east coast with Anne before we were married, driving around in a major boat Grand Marquis.

VHM Sundays...here's another refugee from a Dave 1990 set, but I'm pretty sure this time that Dave was right & Annalisa's wrong.  I've a specific attachment of this song to a girl I dated in the early summer of 1990 (bet you can guess why).

what's with the Foghorn?

AL is assembling her own array of bumpers I guess. Anyone catch the whispered "KFOG" bumper that she dropped in prior to either the Pixies or XTC tune?

One of my college friends that I worked at a restaurant with, & often got rides from, drove one of those.  This was in Tacoma & he named it the Klickitat, after one of the Washignton State Ferries.  "We don't park it, we moor it."

I played this CD when a relationship ended, too.  It felt so good to wallow in their melancholy sound.  I also adored My Finest Hour

hmm, we've had three sets from AL:

Monday: Jill Sobule I Kissed A Girl
Tuesday: Monks' Monk Time contains the lyric "Pussy galore's comin' down and we like it."
Wednesday: a song from Kate Bush

guess the connection?    :P

Anyone hear the bonus track? The stream got aced out again. (However, if it turned out to be Orinoco Flow, I am thankful.)
