UltraVox -- back from when they were still fun. Yes, they were, I was surprised as anyone to find it out....
Anything from the John Foxx era is well worth checking out and holds up marvelously.
I loved the Midge Ure version of the band a lot in high school, but it's now in pure guilty pleasure territory along with most of the prog rock I was into at the time.
eMusic is raising their prices: [link]
From Tom's link:
Current subscribers and those who sign up in the next few weeks will continue to receive the old rate for as long as their account is kept in good standing.
That is awesome. I do the thing where I pay in one lump sum every year (I think it was around $240.00) and get 90 downloads per month. I practically feel like I am stealing... such a good deal.
SA - I LOVED M.Ward live - especially his guitar-god encores (he did three in Chicago). Hope you have fun.
Now playing - "Little Willy" by Sweet.
This is an awesome song....
eta: I have fond childhood memories of going to our town's only bowling alley and playiing "Fox on the Run" and "Ballroom Blitz" on the jukebox....
Aw! I heard "Ballroom Blitz" on the radio the other day, and almost drove off the road I was so surprised.

First song I learned to dance to.

I'm pretty sure I've posted a couple Sweet songs at BR. Maybe "Love is Like Oxygen" and "Action." As you might imagine, I am not only the kind of person who has several Sweet records, and have written about them, but I also own videos of them.
Decembrists show tonight. tre excited.

Lucky! They've been playing "O, Valencia" on the local classic rock station. Very disconcerting to hear Colin's voice coming from a mainstream radio setting.
Yeah, I figured that Hec would comment on Sweet. I have a greatest hits CD, plus I got "AC-DC" from Hec (I think) and "Funny, Funny" from (I think) a CD of bubblegum hits, which maybe is called
Bubblegum Hits....
Maybe "Love is Like Oxygen"
Long version or the edit?
