Thanks!!

Yay! Heather Alayne-kissage.

Hec, your book arrived yesterday. I only flipped through it, but so far, it's pretty cool. And it looks great.

Yay!

Anyway, I just ordered 40 copies of Lost in the Grooves. Of course, it was for the book signing, but still!

Yay!

I adore "Debaser." Doolittle was not only my gateway drug into the Pixies, but was a major bonding moment with my high school mentor's daughter, Elizabeth. "Isn't this record great!?!"

Interview Spoiler: Musicians we'll talk about today include: Beach Boys, Slim Gaillard, The Go Betweens, Neutral Milk Hotel, Swamp Dogg, Judee Sill, Bobbie Gentry, Dream Warriors and maybe The Incredible Moses Leroy

The Dream Warriors thing was a weird phenomenon. It was a huge hit locally with everyone kind of lost in confusion, because the tune was used as the theme music for a Canadian seventies game show called Definition. Definition was on the air forever and in reruns for longer, so many people were doing double takes whenever the song aired, because it is catchy as hell, but just very strange to hear it in a proto-rap song.

I'll have to try to get my Lost in the Grooves comments written soon, but I felt very hip discovering that I have or have had several of the albums in the book because I figured my tastes were way squarer than that. My favourite crossover: Jan and Dean meet Batman. I loved that album and used to quote stuff from it all the time, until I realized that no one else had heard it, and my obscure quips were falling on confused ears. So, major validation there!

Well that`s what happened to them...they heard in being played in a club in the UK and they lost it because they people we grooving to the Definition theme song.

My definition of a boombastic jazz style....

also that theme song? written by quincey jones.

I was in mad love with the dream warriors. Saw them in concert twice in NYC, once at SOBs and once in Central Park. For the CP concert I bought a baseball cap with a metal plate on the front that said King because one of the singers was King Lou and I thought he was super cute (the other one being Capital Q). Still have the hat, one of the last hold outs from my early 90s "I am a b-girl" phase.

"Soul Bossa Nova" - aka, That Song They Dance To At The Beginning Of The First Austin Powers Movie.

Reno Dakota - is that a play on Reno, Nevada?

No -- it's the name of an actual person, who was, as I mentioned, actually at the concert. I don't know if he was born with that name or chose it, but it's his name.
