I just have to add that Alex Chilton is for sure one of my top 10 desert
island songs -- it doesn't get much better than that. I miss the days
of waiting for the next Replacements' album -- it was always so excited
and they never disappointed.
On the plus side, y'all gotta check out the new New Order -- better
than ever, and I think it tops Lowlife and Technique as my fave.
Off to a birthday party I go,
