Anyone else see The Cramps at Boston's Avalon circa 1999? Lux took it out during Surfin' Bird, which would have been gross if it had been anyone else. But Lux doing it just felt polymorphous perverse in the friendliest of ways.

Call the Police reminds me of one of my favorite memories of having Todd-o-phonic as a roommate. I called him up and was momentarily confused when the person on the recorded message identified himself as our next-door neighbor Doug. Had I misdialed? I didn't even know Doug's number. Then I realized Doug had called Todd to complain about the volume he was playing records, and Todd had turned it into his outgoing message.

Randy in NC:

I got my first Sparks album, Propaganda as a British import back in 1974 at the COOP on Harvard Square. Was already a fan, been a fan ever since. Never seen them and it's pretty unlikely they will ever come to North Carolina. Thanks for the interview Todd!
