Hahaha, I once drove all over Milwaukee, WI to find a store open at 11:30 p.m. (or was it after midnight?) to find an Eddy Grant album.

Found one. Still have the cassette after getting rid of all the rest - I worked too hard to get it to get rid of it easily!

The New Pornographers - All The Old Showstoppers
Eddy Grant - Romancing the Stone
Electric Light Orchestra - Turn To Stone
Gorillaz - Dare
Total Coelo - I Eat Cannibals
Boz Scaggs - 1993 (a song written in 1978, when '93 was THE FUTURE)

We now return you to the dismal present day.
