I'm just glad this ancient CD-R is playing! I can't find the Langley CD in our library. Worrisome!

If you can't find the Langley Schools Music Project in the WFMU library, where CAN you find it?!

I am officially a WFMU listener, having identified The Space Lady by ear only.

Seeing The Space Lady perform this song live was one of the highlights of my recent years. And she was so nice with everyone after the show

Really hoping there's a spooky outsider cover of "Ashes to Ashes" to complete the hat trick.

@Oscar: I thought about it, but there's no actual story in that song, just free associations.

OK so Sign o' the Times was Roberto's quintessential senior year in college soundtrack, but for the experience as a whole, it's got to be Hounds of Love.
