Well, some variety if no coherence, with some recent Indie standards, the searing "Janitor," and the newest edition from a student who thought I wasn't funked up enough, and "Souvenirs," which I like a lot. Alas, no Captain and Tenielle.
Nice blog. Caught it looking for interesting Bloggers linked on Progressive Blog Digest ... and when I saw the top post mentioning XTC and New Order, it was worth a look. I'll check in now and again for new tracks and politarding.
