Hmm, looking over that song list, I see a possible theme: song titles made up of initials, or alphanumeric combinations. The ones by Wire and New Order would fit ... what else?

Ohh, I’d have to include the brilliantly chesseball “AEIOU” by Ebn Ozn.

Nice set!!

"TVC15" takes care of my Bowie requirement.

Delvin,

Thanks for playing the High Violets. I'd never heard of them, but I looked into their discography on Discogs, and there's some really good stuff there. This happens regularly when I listen to your show.

Glad to be of service, Philippe. My wife had the same reaction when she heard The High Violets on that show. (Which was nothing, compared to the way she thrashed around the living room to "12XU.")
