Dickies. Play some Dickies.
In that genre alone, I'd be tempted to play the Descendents, Undertones or Buzzcocks first. However, none of them are in the book.
Still, "You Drive Me Ape You Big Gorilla" is well worth airplay.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Hec, Amazon has something about Jan 30, 2005 on your book. Has the release date been pushed back?
Also, I was amused to note the following:

No, we've had a hard time getting Amazon to update their stuff. It is - according to the publisher - already in the warehouse. Mine is somewhere in the mail at the moment.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Costello didn't even write it. It's a cover of Nick Lowe.
Surely if you're gonna have one Costello, it's Shipbuilding.
Robert Wyatt did a better version anyway. Didn't Costello write it for Wyatt? I seem to recall hearing that way back when.
Oooh. That reminds me, what about that "Ain't Gonna go to Sun City" song that had a lot of artists on it?
Oh yes. It had Peter Garrett too, now an MP in Australia's federal parliament.
The Anti-Sun City project was put together by "Little Steven" Van Zandt aka "Silvio Dante" from The Sopranos

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Jimi, I was talking about "What's So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding."
Silvio Dante
I... ain't gonna play Sun City...
Baddabing...

Man, now I have the anti-Sun City song stuck in my head.

D'oh!
Jim must've changed song titles in his edit because no mention of "...Peace, Love, and Understanding" is made anywhere.
Both are great songs.
Though I still think Wyatt did a better version than Costello of "Shipbuilding".

No, we've had a hard time getting Amazon to update their stuff.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Hec, when are you going to be on? Our station doesn't carry ToTN anymore, but I think I can get it through the 'net.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
