1984, knockin' at our door.  

no chance of any of these, but they'd sure be spicy breakouts:

"Somebody's Watchin' Me", Rockwell
"Sugar Walls", Sheena Easton
"Do What You Do", Jermaine Jackson
"Adult Education", Hall & Oates

But "Sister Katristian" is far more likely.  Seems like we just did '84 (we heard Tracy Ullman) but it's actually been 5 weeks. Time files.

Anyone listening right now, at 9:52? They're playing a song that vaguely reminds me of George Harrison. Kinda catchy on first listen.
Let's get right to it.

No time to play today, so it's good that Dave got my BOS out of the way on the first song.

BOS, JJ

I don't vote with Rod all that often, but easy BOS to "You Can't Get What You Want ('Til You Know What You Want)."  I'm sure this applies to today's drama, but I'm not yet sure how.

What's the scoop on the JJ + Todd Rundgren tour, I know someone mentioned it, but I was spacing when my brother asked me yesterday.

One of the few times the Fixx sounded like they were enjoying what they were doing.  HM to "Are We Ourselves?"

Actually no, I think the average Foghead does like The Cars about as much as Dave does.  That's why they vote for it.  But Dave hasn't been going to that well the last couple years nearly as often as he did wehn we were on the old Yahoo board.

It's in the Stream of Consciousness thread: I was terminated from my job after yet another argument with the BMMB.
