Jeff Moore, just to put a period on the story: in a paroxysm of fear that I'd have to pay for that crate of Mobile Fidelity discs, I queried the Discogs vendor that had sent them. Long story short, they sent me a shipping label, I put the box back in the hall, and either USPS or a very strong thief has made off with it. I got to keep the Pretenders album for my trouble, and it's really the only one I was really interested in from the lot. I am glad to have the shelf space back and that some clerk at GoVinylGo isn't going to get in trouble over the whole thing.

I was just reaching for the clicky-star button for this song, and realized i already clicked it from one of your sets back in 2013! Long time Monica fan over here! When are you going to do a regular show again??

I do like the Righteous Bros. version of 'Unchained' /because/ of the glossy overproduction. But don't lose sleep over my opinion. Or, get a nap in.

Hi Monica, I'll second what Nate In Detroit asked: When are you going to get a regular show again? I love your musical choices -- you've introduced me to so many excellent songs and artists. Last time was that "Gold Dust" song, which I'm *still* listening to on repeat. Thank you for doing the fill ins. Moar please!

Rev Rab, I like to think of it as the car radio back before radio sucked, where you had several channels programmed into the clunky pushbuttons, and you'd flip around as the whim took you. Same-same now except *mostly* digital and all WFMU.

Good night, Sem!
