Morning all

I trust you're well, and managed to survive the weekend without your daily dose of dakegra wibbleage?

I've noticed recently that I haven't commented in other journals as much as I used to. I do read them all (mostly), and sometimes make a mental note to come back and post a pithy/supportive/witty comment, but my mental notes aren't great, and I keep losing them. So, imagine that I've posted something appropriate to your recent posts, ok?

Right, that's saved some time. *rubs hands with glee*

I've noticed that I've come off some friendslists. I really don't have a problem with this, and quite frankly am suprised that so many of you put up with me for so long.

An open note to all, therefore: If you want to take me off your friendslist, please do! I won't be cross, honest.

I might have a clear out too - there are some journals that I *do* post comments in, which never garner a response - a lot of what I like about LJ is the social conversation aspect of it, and I occasionally feel that I've been shouting into the wind, and if the person I've been talking to doesn't want to reply, then is there any point?

Yes, I'm procrastinating. I've got a cost model and a PRRF to do, whatever *that* is. It's all numbers to me.

So, inna nutshell, Hi! hope you're well. If you want to go, go, if you want to stay, stay. I love you all.

not you...
*points*
everyone else though!

TD -- yes! (from all the way back to when Phaedra was released)
Boingo -- a bit (but I do remember them from the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo days -- does that count?).
Simple Minds - not so much (not big on '80s rock).
Classic Looney Tunes (-and- Merry Melodies) -- you bet!
I'm not familiar with Stan Ridgway (but I've heard of Wall of Voodoo).
Zappa - yep!

TD - yep. Favorites are Tangram and Logos. White Eagle is good too. The soundtrack to Sorcerer is a trip.

Mystic Knights - of course. They did the Gong Show, did ya know that?

Early Simple Minds is the best. Try going back to the first couple of releases (late 70's?) - good stuff. "Don't You Forget About Me" about makes me ill these days.

LooTunes - "Yikes, and away!" - the best, hands down, forever and ever.

Ridgway - try getting ahold of "The Big Heat" or "Mosquitoes". "Mexican Radio" was really about the full extent of Wall of Voodoo.

TD -- Excellent favourites! I love all three. Tangram is particularly "proggish" -- a lot of different movements which all mesh together perfectly (and White Eagle shines with Mojave Plan and Midnight in Tula). I love when TD get all "anthemy" and majestic.

MKotOB -- I did not know that. I wonder if footage is available somewhere...

SM -- I'll hunt down some of the early stuff and check it out.

Prithee!

Ahh, yes, Mexican Radio! I wasn't remembering why I know of WoV. "I'm on a Mexican...radio. I'm on a Mexican -- whoa-oh -- radio."

Enjoy.



And oh, Midnight in Tula. *sigh* Need to pull it out for a listen once again.

And hey, feel like taking on another LJ friend? ;-)

That was a hoot! Thanks! I'd never seen it before. Those crazy Elfmans!

I see you've upped your interests list, thus providing ample evidence that a mutual friending is the next logical step.

Er, I mean...sure! :)

[quaero-verum.livejournal.com]

Woo!

Youse friended!

*oof*

Backatcha!
