Cliff105: You’re right, that is a good set. I really love the Weirdos “Neutron Bomb” but the flip side of the single is even better: “Solitary Confinement.”

Tbogg: regarding putting a buttload of new stuff on the iPod and not hearing any of it for ages, well, the iPod works in mysterious ways sometimes. I set mine for “less likely to play songs from the same folder” and in a group of five songs I’ve gotten three songs by the same band. Once I got a song by Pussy Galore, one by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and one by Boss Hogg - all in a row. These are all in different folders but Spencer was/is in all of those bands (in that order).

Glad to see the MJQ. My favorite from them is “One Never Knows” from “No Sun in Venice.”

Your baby doesn’t love you any more

Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won’t be near you any more

Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn’t want you any more
