I'm just trying to figure out who this is.  L7?  But this is before their time...

ETA: I see it's the Pixies.  I've never heard a Pixies song that didn't have Black Francis singing lead.

What does Chi Coltrane have to do with that song?

"Thunder & Lightning" is also about a "gigantic", er, member, as Gaz mentions every time we hear that song.

VHM Ziggy & Co -- I loved this in '88, mainly because mainstream US radio ignored it. Now it *is* mainstream.

A simple smooth easy reggae riff w great backing vox.  I've always liked this song.

That last song was NTM, started out thinking "oh no, some bloo-zy rock, who needs it?" .. but it picked up speed and I was digging it by the end.

That was Hothouse Flowers -- something of a Dave fave, actually. (He played it 6 times in 4 years)

BOS2 Mr Cohen -- and it's NOT "Everybody Knows"!

Well, I always ask for more than what I want, and figure I'll get half.

Is this Leonard Cohen? Awesome!

oh, goodness!  This virus newsclip is HIGH-lar-ee-ous!  

It took all night for that "electronical mail" to get from California to MIT, while the students slept.   Why were they asleep you ask?  b/c someone put on Leonard Cohen slumberous voice.

(I was thinking it was Robbie Robertson at first -- wouldn't that be some duet?  two sleepy Canadian voices battling in ultra low-tones?)

I seeeeee.  I checked out the lyrics -- I definitely wasn't paying enough attention to the words that time.

I'll give a BOS for Michelle Shocked.  Great atmosphere on this tune, not as much the lyrics.
