Hello, Wendy! And you're just my speed :)

Wendy, your playlist icon reminds me -- I'm finally gonna get to see S&B -- it's got a week long run in the Village, with at least one celeb FMU personality appearance every day.

This Bastien would make for a good bike commuting loop.

This sounds like what it feels like to do my taxes.

Who is pulling the string on this talking doll?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:35pm Charlie:

Cliff, this is what I meant when I said I hope you wouldn't get distracted...
  12:37pm Cliff:

Hehe, not a problem, I'm doing it online and mostly have to click "no" and "continue" buttons
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm Uncle Michael:

This is as good as the Carpenters cover I heard on the Duane Train this week.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm Charlie:

-- "Did anyone give you a gift of a million dollars?"
-- "No"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:42pm Charlie:

Hi Uncle Michael -- Do tell, what song was it?
  12:42pm Cliff:

If I were a blind clergyman railroad engineer who lived part of the year in Yonkers and owned rental property in NYC and paid taxes in Canada, it would be a lot more complicated apparently
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:43pm Uncle Michael:

A version of "We've Only Just Begun" by The Singers Unlimited .
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:43pm doctorjazz:

love this Cinrama cover!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:45pm Charlie:

Will check, UM. Also partial to Sonic Youth's cover of Superstar.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:46pm Uncle Michael:

Matt Nepher! Boy spot-welder! Yay!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46pm Parq:

By me, no version of Superstar can top Mac Cumella's version at the 2007 Hoof & Mouth finale.

I hope they process your refund as quickly.
  1:46pm Listening Out There:
