Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:30pm karlward:

I also really enjoyed seeing Scott Williams do sound for Thompson, which was perfect by the way. Scott would be obviously rapt and then every 30 seconds or so look down at the board, maybe make a tweak, and then right back to rapt attention.

Hi Sheila and All,
Grier, Deacon Jones, Lamar Lundy, and Merlin Olsen's fearsome foursome--great nickname--were one of the top five defensive lines in history. Indicatively, Grier, Jones, and Lundy were big supporters of Robert Kennedy's presidential run in '68. They rode with him to campaign events.

I'm glad you already played Morton George, Sheila. Now I can watch the last episode of Chansons! after all. Will listen to the other boys tomorrow, but I prefer your regular shows above this one. With those you're quite unique in radioland, with this I'm afraid you aren't. But enjoy the rest of the show, everybody. Until next week.

Chris—Yeah, you're not bothering me! I'm only sorry you've had a rough week. I think we're all feeling it. Transition from summer to fall is hard. Glad the Pale Saints helped!

These ACE collections are the best. Whenever I go to the website, I want to own all of them. Ironically, I only own one about 80s British synth pop which I won from Ken during the marathon.

I had a signed Ian Hunter poster but it didn't survive all the moving.

Ok. rx has a point
  5:37pm Rick G:

Haha! Such a guilty pleasure cover. The video that went along with this song was so gratuitous and silly, too. Well played Sheila!

Afghan Whigs! I was in college playing in a band in CIncinnati in the early 90s, when we were all riding on the wave the Whigs made. Infamous stories about Dulli tossing beer bottles in a washing machine at bar/laundry Sudsy Malones and puting $0.50 in and hitting "spin cycle".
