This week's Stylus Singles Jukebox, in case anyone wants the lowdown on the current crop of Euro pop (and some American stuff too):

FWIW, Laura Lynn looks like Kelly Ripa.

Inspired by Barry Scott's "Lost 45s" playlist at finetune.com (a service still in its beta stages), I've created a playlist of my own.  Go to http://finetune.com/ and search for Gazoo for a collection of 45 of my all-time favorites from the '60s and '70s.  Tilted toward brass rock, bubblegum, and sunshine pop, with touches of psych soul and various pop/rock elements.  'Cuz I'm like that.

Hope yahs dig.  (I could listen to Billy Stewart's "Summertime" all day.)

Ladies and gents, we have an itinerary: Gaz is taking a vacation!

M 12/18: Lv JFK 7:05am, Arr SFO 10:35am
R 12/28: Lv SFO 1:22pm, Arr JFK 9:56pm

Should I move this to the "Next Culb Get-Together" thread?   :D

Can't wait to see the City again, and I hope to see all of you!  The trip will be equal parts vacation, job search, and apartment search, unless by then work has convinced me to stay in NYC another year.

Hearts and flowers,
Gaz.

ETA: The flights are on Alaska Airlines, who have served me well over the years.  I'm paying almost $100 more than I'd hoped, but decided it was worth it to have direct flights on both ends.

Direct flights rule!  Set aside Sat nite 12/23 for that Sharks game if you can.

Excellent. Non-stop rules--much preferable to that cluster-f*** of transfers you posted the other day on US Scare. Not to mention not having to suffer the indignity of flying on Xmas day, thereby cutting your trip short by three days.

One FYI for job-hunting: do it as soon as you get here. A lot of businesses won't be doing business after the 22nd. CNET included.

Woofa!  Duly noted - thanks!

Mike - I'm in for the Sharks unless Pat Burrell needs me to do Bay Area condo-hunting with him that day.  Many thanks!!

ROTFL!

I hope you and Pat are finally able to share a city, if not a condo.  Of course the Giants are also looking at Jeff Suppan, which would not please me -- if they're gonna pay big bucks for a pitcher, I'd prefer it be Zito.  But since Suppan is Mr. Anti-Stem Cell Research, it'd be quite ironic for him to wind up in the epicenter of said research.

Hey all,

I've just been asked to appear on a local (Nassau/Long Island) radio show, "Loud n Queer", which is building an episode around the paper I presented at the EMP last year, "Whoops, I Mean Girl: Toying With Sexual Identity in Song".  The host hoped I might bring a CD of the songs I discuss, and so I wanted to see if any of you have one that I'm missing, Timbuk 3's "Legalize Our Love."  It's sadly not on iTunes.  I have fat (and phat) bandwidth here so emailing me MP3s is no problem on my end.  If no luck, I'll break down and buy the CD.  Thanks in advance!

I mistakenly thought I did, but urth must have it on an archive disc somewhere.  Which CD is it on?  AMG doesn't help, as they only show the track listing for their first album (which I have & love).
