My ma married a dj that brought home great records. So, she's pretty much heard a lot of great stuff. Once I played her John Cooper Clarke and her mouth dropped. She's 85 now, and if there was one record I wanted her to hear before, ya know... I thought it might be " I Did a Power Slide Into the Taco Stand" so I purchased a second copy for her.by STEVE

Crikey! I know it's but mere coincidence, but I was dj-jng tonight, well, in our living room for no pay that is, and wanted to play Kathleen something synth-poppy between (my) Beefeater (cap full) shots & some other bands best album tracks, so I chucked "The Golden Age of Wireless" CD at her and asked which numbers she wanted to hear.

Stackridge for me, most recently. I've given this bands first three albums numerous spins over the last ten to twenty years. Time and time again, my response was one of ... "there's something great here, yet, it's fleeting". I was trying to grasp this band to tightly. There's something truly magical about a bands music that reveals its beauty slowly and rewaby STEVE

Kathleen played an ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE song that she fed lyrics to-back to me on the ride home from work yesterday... I think I may have summed it up in terms of "clever lyrics doll", backed with the most horrible twenty-first century novelty schlock band ever_ I ended the overall terrible event by reminding our fan club president that the experience was the absolute antithesis oby STEVE

Ordinarily, I'm rather lukewarm on rockabilly on account of it's samey sounding; but recently, I found Bo Diddley's first two albums on 1 CD at a thrift store. I love it, quintessential. I also love The Elvis Brothers pop n 'billy.by STEVE
