Was that the band with ... Maria McKee as the lead singer, or am I on crack?
Absolutely.
I had the actual 45.
Explaining records (LPs or 45s or even 78s) to kids nowadays is virtually impossible. I was thinking about this with the articles this week about the group who released their new album on DVD only -- no CD. I remember what a big deal it was in 1988 when Cheap Trick released an album on CD and tape only -- no vinyl.
I need to dig out my vinyl next time I'm home. Then, I need to find a record player as well....
Who was going on about the new New Pornographers album, BTW?
To anyone whose heard it, does "Sing Me Spanish Techno" sound like the Partridge Family to them?
Our turntable is packed away. It just got to be too much to have all the albums out, and the CDs, blah blah. And Stephen was always standing over me when I used it anyway, because he kept saying there was nowhere to get a new needle anymore.
But now I totally have to get a Lone Justice CD, if I can. Damn it.

Many, many sub-$5 copies of Shelter at Half.com.

And on this, there's a phonograph needle store in the Roosevelt District. I walk by it about once a week.
Thank you, sir!
And a whole store. Wow. Diehards...die hard, I guess.
Mischa -- I love "Disconnect the Dots" by Of Montreal but their other stuff has been a little too gimmicky for me.
