Hi Daniel--happy Holidays to you! These are great demented tracks!
  Sat. 12/19/09 9:26pm D. Blumin:

Happy Xmas, Keili! This IS Freebird! In Catalan...
  Sat. 12/19/09 9:32pm D. Blumin:

It's beautiful out here in Jersey City!
  Sat. 12/19/09 9:47pm D. Blumin:

  Sat. 12/19/09 9:48pm Cheri Pi:

Pardon me, I can't place this "Kimino Sora" it's a cover right?
  Sat. 12/19/09 9:50pm Lisa:

You so BEASTIN!, Blumin!
  Sat. 12/19/09 9:51pm slugluv1313:

i agree with Cheri Pi, this is sounding sooooo *familiar*
  Sat. 12/19/09 9:52pm D. Blumin:

As far as I know this ain't a cover, but it sounds a helluva lot like Galaxie 500!!!!!
Watch out fer the killer guitar solo!
  Sat. 12/19/09 9:56pm Cheri Pi:

Ahhhh, yes, that's exactly it.
  Sat. 12/19/09 10:07pm Ike:

I used to love Think Tree. Still have one of their CDs around here somewhere with a great song called "Monday A.M. First Thing" and they had a cool, bizarre video on 120 Minutes; not sure if it was that song or "Rattlesnake."
  Sat. 12/19/09 10:11pm Tim Serpas:

Yes yes! Alan Parsons!
  Sat. 12/19/09 10:15pm D. Blumin:

Ike, they had a big song in Boston called Hire a Bird! Remember that one? I think that mightbe what you're thinkin of...
I have no idea why Holy Cow didn't make the comp... Holy Cow!
Hiya Tim!
  Sat. 12/19/09 10:32pm pauldepiperssoninpurgatory:

  Sat. 12/19/09 10:35pm D. Blumin:

Good night, Paul from Berlin!
Thx fer tuning in...
- From peoples in beautiful snowy Jersey City...
  Sat. 12/19/09 10:35pm Ike:

Nope, I definitely never heard "Hire a Bird!" I'd remember that one. I had/have the album "Like the Idea." It has a baby holding a bottle of liquor on the cover. It also included "Holy Cow." Took me a while to figure out that song was mocking bigots, not actually anti-Hindu.
  Sat. 12/19/09 10:38pm dave:

amazing show. where can i get my hands on that vernon wray's "Facing All the Same Tomorrows"?
  Sat. 12/19/09 10:42pm D. Blumin:

  Sat. 12/19/09 11:15pm D. Blumin:

  Sun. 12/20/09 12:10am Ike:

I was just shuffling around in the powdery snowfall in my duck boots while listening on a Walkman. Fun times! And "Bach vs. Laibach" must be the greatest album title all year. Or this week anyway.
  Sun. 12/20/09 12:19am D. Blumin:

A walkman! Daaaaaayumn, Ike! How you keepyr working fer some years? Mine crashed and burned yonks ago...
Looks like I'll be keeping you company awhile longers - seems like the Professor is being detained by Evil.
