Once I ordered a tuna melt and it was served cold. I tried to send it back and manager said "that's how we do tuna melts here." I'm like, "Dude, melt is in the name of the damn sandwich!" He took it back and had it heated up "as a favor to me".

Margo Price, not Sierra Ferrel. She sang with Lukas Nelson.

Love that album. I live just a few miles from where the cover photo was taken. Yes, there is in fact a Hollywood, MN.

Have always loved how they just go nuts on the acoustic guitars right after that soft middle section.

"I Scare Myself" was originally a Dan Hicks song, but I really love Thomas Dolby's version. I bet The New Standards really did it justice.

The Head And The Heart. To me, they sound like a contemporary Christian rock band that play in one of those mega-churches that preach prosperity.

Something about the way the drums were recorded on that record just gets me.

I just played this one last weekend for the first time in decades. Amazed at how great it sounded. (I just got a new turntable last Nov, and have been playing my old LP's for 1st time since late 80's.)

When I bought the album way back then, I talked the record store owner into giving me the 3 ft x 3 ft promotional poster they had of the album cover. Wish I still had it.

I always listen to this album this time of year, reminds me of high school senior year. "Girl Can't Help It", "Suzanne" and "I'll Be Alright Without You" are so good.

"Beds Are Burning" followed up with "Cult Of Personality " by Living Color has long been a 1-2 punch when I need it.

Picked this version up a week or so ago at my local store. What I love about this version is it was released pre-SBMWS, and has 2 other great songs on it. But "One Of Our Submarines" is not on it, which I love.

I really have enjoyed reading your lists, as I think we are about the same age and have similar tastes. But me being from the States, there's been a few that were quite unknown to me, so you've given me some things to checkout. You run a little more metal than me, but that's quite alright! Cheers!
