This is embarassing. I don't even remember starting this thread. Where the hell is my Index Masters CD now? Hopefully correctly filed. No. Actually I do recall seeing it in a certain pile. I bet it's there.

I played Index Masters last night, in celebration of seeing Stan Ridgway live! Big fun, both.

"The Passenger" was the greatest, thats the one written from the perspective of a plane-hijacker isn't it? Loved that tune so much

Lurve this and just about everything Stan's done. Last time I saw him, he and the band took the back exit during the applause for an encore and came in the back of the house and cheered for themselves!

Didn't "Lost Continent" get reissued at last?

I sure wish there was something interesting in the vaults from these guys.
