A twitch for O:M, aka, the soundtrack to lord knows how many VERY LONG DRIVES to various places back when I was not the driver and therefore had to shut my cakehole.

I swear, every con-going alternadude I knew with a license didn't own any other music. (And remember, my previous-to-Goth musical history was all punk and new wave, so while I might appreciate it now, I sure as hell didn't then.)

Hec and Cor, My DH pitched XTC's Wasp Star. He would like to join your exalted company.

Awesome! Please pass along that I wish him the best of luck.

XTC's Wasp Star

God, I *love* that album. That's one of a handful of albums where I love all the songs on it (instead of skipping past some on the CD/iPod).

Aww, I'd love to read his take on that record. I can put in a word with Mr. Barker to take his time over that proposal.

Please do. Jason is SO excited about this.

DW has been wanting to pitch a Throwing Muses record for a few years now. I wish she'd do it! She would be great! TM has been her favorite band since 1986 (she was 16).

Glam, if that ever happens, and she wants to get in touch with Tanya Donelly, let me know. I gots connections.

megan & Perkins, how do you feel about a mid-week jaunt down to San Jose in the beginning of April to see Fall Out Boy and Cobra Starship?

must... see... Papi....

Thanks, Jon. She has been in touch with Kristin and Tanya over the years. DW actually auditioned to be the bass player in Belly (and in Hole, but that's another story). DW doesn't like to tell people that because she says it just means she wasn't good enough since she didn't get into either band. There were actually extenuating circumstances in both cases, though. DW is a really great bass player. And I'm not just saying that cause she's my DW!
