yeesh, "Veronica" -- I'd've much preferred "My Brave Face", as EC/Macca collabs go.

I bought a Berlin Wall souvenir thing at some thrift shop a few years back.  So BOS to Thrift Town!

I loves me some Thrift Town!  VHM just for the shout-out.   :)

C'mon, let's get some votes going for "The Other Fine Young Cannibals", aka Roachford. You know you want to hear them!

Whether we hear "Cuddly Toy" from AL or not, I'm def posting it as my FB Wednesday One Hit Wonder tomorrow.

Much appreciated. The song gets surprisingly little love.

Most likely to be played in normal rotation on KFOG: Elvis, Veronica

indeed. I don't know why anyone would request such a thing, but Fogheads are funny that way.

yeesh, "Veronica" -- I'd've much preferred "My Brave Face", as EC/Macca collabs go.

Not to mention we haven't heard "My Brave Face" a zillion times on KFOG already. I want to say it appeared once on 10@10.

UBER BOS Pixies... and GOD IS SEEEEVEEN!

Sure, there are many other great songs on that album (Gouge Away, Silver, Wave of Mutilation) but we'll take what we can get here. At least it wasn't "Here Comes your Man", one of the biggest overplayed snoozes by those who like their Pixies "lite".

one of my pet peeves is when people use a chimp (in advertising, in movies, etc) and call it a "monkey."  

This has nothing to do with the Pixies... they know what a monkey is, for reals.
