basically all that stuff reminds me of my brother. he worked at a record store in town back then and he bought all of it. nick lowe. dave edmunds. stiff stuff. he played a tonic for the troops a lot. i was glad. i got to hear it all. it all sounded pretty cool to me. it was definitely "his" stuff.

my new wave explosion was a year later. kings of the wild frontier. and i was off to the races. and that was "my" stuff. straight from rush and judas priest to antmusic.

i like the early elvis hits basically. i'm the same way with the clash. i just like to hear the hits.

I'm the same way with both those artists, and I've certainly tried to expand my interest in them to no avail.

Joe Jackson's early LPs deserve revisiting, I'm surprised there's never been deluxe reissues.

That result looks about right. "Got The Time" is a monster.
