Oh, and there's another Laura Nyro thing coming out in September also, her 1966 demo session, which I did not know about either, until I went looking for the Live in Japan one that just came out. Both are on Omnivore

OK, trying to find a U.S. distributor of that Choctaw Ridge comp shouldn't be hard, right? Did we cede most of our ridges to England at some point?

@Handy It looks like Rough Trade had it on CD for $21.99.

Stuck in my head now. I kind of dig Shakedown Street (God knows that's a new thing), but the chorus always just stops the momentum.

Yup. Kokomo is in Indiana. It is not an island perse.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:40pm

Kokomo is the birthplace of Norman Bridwell, author of the Clifford the Big Red Dog children's books.

Oh, the original Star Trek TV series is the best, but the other ones are good, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:42pm
Topology:

I was a kid in Indiana when that song came out. Some local radio station offered a contest with a trip to "Aruba, Jamaica or Kokomo, Indiana".

Indiana has a lot of unexpected town names like Lebanon, Disko, Ambia.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:43pm
McGroovey:

I actually prefer Shatner's Common People. And I'm right.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:44pm
Handy Haversack:

Thanks, McGroovey! I run my internet through Canada, which might have interfered.

"Common People" is perfect.
  9:44pm
phat in Lincoln:

Definitely prefer the original series, especially the weirder sets, music, and design.
  9:45pm
ledzeppelinsucks:

MO has towns named after foreign locations.
  9:46pm
Eugene R.:

Shatner's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is ... otherworldly.
  9:46pm
P-90:

Yes I saw Brent Spiner with Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters in that original production of Sunday in the Park with George. It was awesome.
  9:46pm
phat in Lincoln:

I picture LeVar Burton doing Broadway Standards through like, the early seventies, like Pippin. But I'm probably just associating him with Ben Vereen because of Roots.

@phat- I am right there with you!

Handy Haversack:

I think I prefer Heart's. It's a favorite -- and my karaoke standard.
  9:51pm
phat in Lincoln:

Um, this Routes tune is ridiculously good. Why? What is it doing?
  9:52pm
TVP:

I'd imagine a LeVar Burton album would be him singing the Reading Rainbow theme in different styles (my personal favorite: in the style of Jim Price singing Party Girl).

Blake's 7! It's horrible but I goddamn love it!
  10:05pm
Eugene R.:

"Farscape" by a nose, though "Wormhole Extreme!" is awesome.
  10:07pm
Eugene R.:

"Blake's 7" has Servalan, one of the all-time great villains of science fiction.

The novelizations of old Doctor Who episodes were imported to the States through Seacaucus, which was my introduction to NJ.

I assumed there was a spaceport.
