1. Prince - Let's Go Crazy (4:40)
2. Jane Wiedlin - Rush Hour (4:06) hmm. this is what you get when you grab stuff off the usenet all at once. she used to be in the go-go's. cute + kinky = ok by me.

9. Boys Don't Cry - I Wanna Be A Cowboy (Single Edit) (3:40) why is lemmy in that vid?? "and you can be my cowgirl."

Hey eth... love to replay, but I'll never stay awake that long. There's still another 10 songs or so to go, and one of my all-time faves at the very end.

16. The Fixx - Stand or Fall (3:51)
17. The Red Rockers - China (4:00)
18. The Jam - Thick as Thieves (3:40) paul weller was 21 when 'setting sons' came out, and that was the jam's 4th album. amazing. makes me feel so useless, sorta, and envious.
Note about Elvis: a friend of mine who works of a talent agency here in Vancouver emailed me, saying that Costello was in the office and freaking out at someone on the other end of his phone. Elvis is based in Van. 'cause his wife (Diana Krall) is here. I said, "he's pissed off and yelling? Well, really... what's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding, anyway?"
Cranberries are mostly meh to me, but I really like this song.
why are you not in #bunnies?
Because I'm really tired and going to bed really soon. "Such a wimp," I know.
