i kid...i always put that on at some point anyway. nothing like sanitarium during a traffic jam.

thanks so much for your offering. i put you first on the list. i'm not going to hear a peep until the trip! i'm so excited.

love,
mel

reminds me, haven't seen dodgeball yet. have you? beside the point though.

the days of wine and roses is the title to one of my favorite movies. i love jack lemmon very much and i think i might rent it tonight. so, that is no. 2 on the list.

i'm looking forward to both of these suggestions as i haven't heard of either one of the artists. no. 3 trans am...ahh, i remember one of my older brothers bringing home his new/used trans am and giving myself and my little brother a ride, in 1983... i think we listened to some music that he said he liked to 'slam dance' to. i thought he was the coolest guy in the world!

thanks!!!!!

i saw junior brown once here, but i don't remember quite where it was....something tells me it was out in the hillcountry at some tiny place in the middle of nowhere, but it was great. i don't remember that song, but am quite excited about it. no. 4!

as for crying, you know my new found theory on that....but, i am going to add it as no. 5. plan on that. i hope none of it slows down, its all fast and loud and crazy and inspired and amazing and on and on.....but i might need the slow down at some point as all things come to _______________.....

lovey!

i would of course love unhip, as i am tragically so--now wait a tick...saying that smacks of desperately trying to be hip...i get confused by the scenes.

america! no. 6!!! i love also graceland (no.7). i haven't heard that album in a really long time. when it came out i remember listening to it over and over on a trip out to an airshow at lackland a.f.b. in 1986(?) i think it was. that was a great day. paul simon, working my first perm just like kelly mcgillis, and the thunderbirds flying over. that was also when i realized that i was in love the P-51.

stalker-proof drop spot in central austin...that would probably be my friend's place over off music lane/congress. or i could shoot you my mailing address.....either way, i'd love to hear your latest and in return i will send you my current audio fascinations!

cheers!

I sorta resent Paul Simon after having him drilled into my head as a child by unimaginative radio programmers, but "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" is a sentimental favorite. I remember getting that stuck in my head as a 5-year-old, and its still so damn catchy.

Speaking of Yes, I had an amusing the other night at a Karaoke party. I can't sing, and they never seem to have songs I like in the collections, but whatever. What I did think would be cool would relay prog-rock Karaoke! Teams of five or six could tackle "masterpieces" like "Heart of the Sunrise" or "The Lamb Lays Down on Broadway." Bonus points for gold lame' costumes.
