You ask yourself why PackerMan is married to his wife or you ask yourself why you are married to PackerMan’s wife?

My wife was born and raised in New Jersey. So if she ever pulled that shit with Bruce, I’d have her deported.

That’s nothing, just wait until you realise what “Adam Ant” spells if you put the two words together!

Wow, someone who has heard of Heilung =) Have you heard The Hu?

I get not knowing certain songs or even entire groups because you don’t listen to whatever radio station, I haven’t bothered using the actual radio in my car in at least 30 years [CD players, cassette players, CD changer, MP3 player hookup and now USB slots =)] I have taken to letting Youtube sort of randomize based on my liked or favorite’d stuff, and been discovering stuff I hadn’t heard in 30 years or new stuff like Heilung and The Hu. WHo knew I liked Johnny Cash’s last few albums - Hurt is amazing, the pathos in his voice almost brought me to tears. Rediscovered Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus =)

> I won’t rip on Springsteen, he writes good songs. But what the hell is up with his band and album orchestrations sounding like glockenspiel concerts? Those bells make me stabby, hate them so much, and on arguably good tunes.

I remember noticing that decades ago, when Springsteen first began to get noticed in the seventies.

Anyone who ever spent time in the summer at the Jersey Shore, especially in the old boardwalk towns like Seaside Heights, instantly recognizes that sound as that summer-night sound of walking along the boardwalk, hearing the sounds of the arcades. It was the sound of the Shore, at least the shore way back then, before MTV and “Jersey Shore.”

I’m not even a Springsteen fan, and never was, but he really did capture something in sound.
