"used" color TVs?? WTF?

ya def need headphones for this set -- stereo separation totally RULES!

and the Eddie Floyd track is another of those "I heard the (white) cover version before I herard the original" songs (I knew the Broooooooooooce live version from the '80s)

2. Loudon Wainwright III - Your Mother And I

another fab set overall, and this LW3 lyric is just lovely.

The Manilow was NTM -- I saw the title and thought it was a Wham! cover. And that is a great forgotten Costello nugget.

Thanks for including my requests! I was wondering how the Smashing Pumpkins would fit, but you found a killer clip as a lead-in.

What a fabulous hommage to the Four Tops -- too bad they never covered it.
