Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

True story: One night in high school I was hanging out with a friend when another friend showed up, unannounced, with a chocolate cake and a stack of death metal CDs. Once he finished sampling each of them for us, we made him listen to Philosophy of the World in its entirety. This feels like a full-circle moment.

I saw the Shaggs a few years ago, at the last Solid Sounds festival. It was interesting seeing their band of backup musicians try to play "badly", out of time, replicating the originals.

Maybe so! Maybe more. Crabby was sort of a proto power pop band, too.

@Roberto. Lots of Spanish speakers here in Miami, of course. But not that many from Mexico. Been trying to adjust my ear to the Cuban dialect, which dominates. But there are hispanohablantes from all over Latin America here. Gotta stay in practice!

Utopia's leader, Todd Rundgren, finally got his call from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this time around. And the late John Denver was an Air Force brat too!
