Nice job, Kreskin Urth!

Starting off with the perennial BOS contended, TODD ... Sounding very good and very appropriate today.  "Just one victory, and we're on our way" -- I certainly hope so.  (Currently in networking mode from home.  I've been guest-listed for a Clarks concert this Saturday but haven't gotten any work yet.)

VHM to Schoolhouse Rock, a very vivid and influential part of my formative years.  Yay for "Three Is a Magic Number," later recorded to nice effect by Blind Melon (their last recording before Shannon Hoon's death, I think).

and sampled by De La Sould too, as I recall.

VHM Soul Makosssa!  The summer I graduated High School and got my first part-time job; just about any song from that time brings back vivid memories .

I'm feeling a bit delirious. This preceded by Magic Number sounds so good.

This is helping my mood a lot.  I just confirmed with my co-worker that my cow-orker not only is clueless but also a liar.  Just now he has sent an email defending (to someone else) something he did that was ridiculously redundant, and in so doing falsely claimed that he had discussed it beforehand with me & my co-worker.  As if I had approved his assinine behavior.

I've been putting up with this fool for too long, and this just about does it.

Zoom was my favorite.  There was one kid I really identified with.  I remember they were doing a skit with a damsel trapped in a tower and the kid kept blowing his lines: "don't you know damsels are supposed to cry for trelp?" or something like that.  It was one of the first casts.

Beej, expert on TV says:

ZOOM was taped in Boston Mass (just like the song says) in distributed through PBS. We all saw the same ZOOMs.

Romper Room was a franchise. Stations bought the rights to stage their own Romper Rooms based on the formula. I remember RR from when I was a kid in West Virginia- but my 'Miss Nancy' wasn't the same 'Miss Nancy' on Ch2 in Oaklnad (that was an actress/comic/motivational speaker Ruby Unger.

Well, I turned on the recorder around 9 before I left to go see Gang of Four, and shut it off when I got home. So yeah, barring technological fuckup (which has been known to happen), I should have it.

Was reading back thru this thread while putting the 73 set to disc, and realized I never followed up on this post. Apologies--the past few weeks at work have been a bit, ummm, trying, due to a reorganization that was not a terribly popular decision with the rank and file. (No danger of losing job, but just a lot of disgruntled coworkers.) Anyway, as a result, I've got lots more work to accomplish in my day, and can't interact here as much as I'd always like to. Boo.

Gang of Four were pretty good for a bunch of middle-aged guys. Played with lots of energy and conviction. Jon King kept the beat for one song by beating time on an old microwave oven with a bat--reduced both the microwave and the bat to shards by the end of the song.  They hit most of the songs I wanted to hear (nearly all of Entertainment!) but inexplicably left out I Love a Man in Uniform. (Heard they had played it the night before though.) Gaz, if you can work it into your budget, I highly recommend seeing these blokes when they make it to NY. And I gather that Entertainment! is due for a Rhino rerelease in the next month or so with added tracks etc.

And yeah, I got you guys covered for this set.
