	11:30am clarke: both are excellent, Jack, but the reason UMI gets the top-nod is that the sequencing is really nice, etc.
	11:30am clarke: i've been writing down your list and checkin' it twicet.
	11:30am P-90: Nice Cookie Puss shout out
	11:30am DG: Did you say "Street the Beat"? Wow, I haven't heard that name in decades, but I have a vague memory of seeing them playing in subway stations, in the pre-Net era (doing Beatles covers)....and/or maybe on public access shows.

	11:39am clarke: come back, Santa, i want to chastize you!!
	11:40am Ciggy: I requested, a late 60s psychedelic song by Haystacks Balboa. The Night Owl did not play it. Probably a justifiable decision.

	♥ 12:18pm Handy Haversack: BONGO FEET! Thanks for the reminder, MS! I have been waiting all week to report this to the MS board: I was talking to a friend of mine about riding things, and he's been to Iceland and rode the Icelandic horse breed there. He said that they have a gait that other horses don't have. I asked what the beat was. And he said: "You know on the Flintstones? When Fred or Barney has to run?" And I shouted, "ICELANDIC HORSES HAVE BONGO FEET??!!!" Had to let you good people know.

	12:29pm Mister Dobalina: Dave 'The Man' Spazz !!! From Flushing!
	♥ 12:29pm Spinning Giant: I recently discovered The Carpenters' Christmas record - found it on CD (yes, I still have one of those in my car) for 1 shiny dollar at the local thrift shop - it's pretty brilliant!
	12:29pm egould310: A couple months ago I came across a photo of the Muffs on stage at Jabberjaw in LA. There was a douchebag with a crap haircut right at the front of the stage. I then looked closer and realized I was the douche with the frap haircut.

	11:30am P-90: Nice Cookie Puss shout out
	11:30am DG: Did you say "Street the Beat"? Wow, I haven't heard that name in decades, but I have a vague memory of seeing them playing in subway stations, in the pre-Net era (doing Beatles covers)....and/or maybe on public access shows.

I have been waiting all week to report this to the MS board: I was talking to a friend of mine about riding things, and he's been to Iceland and rode the Icelandic horse breed there. He said that they have a gait that other horses don't have. I asked what the beat was. And he said: "You know on the Flintstones? When Fred or Barney has to run?" And I shouted, "ICELANDIC HORSES HAVE BONGO FEET??!!!" Had to let you good people know.

	12:29pm egould310: A couple months ago I came across a photo of the Muffs on stage at Jabberjaw in LA. There was a douchebag with a crap haircut right at the front of the stage. I then looked closer and realized I was the douche with the frap haircut.
