Writing this article, for the record, made me regret 100% my brother sold off his old copies of Nintendo Power at some point. Our household jumped on board EARLY, so we had all the great first issues. I still remember the Super Mario 3 grids which revealed the location items in the match game, which were invaluable to…

Thanks!

Thanks for reading! Glad you enjoyed it. :D

Very close! 36.

That is a fantastic modern Christmas song, for sure. The Long Winters version of it is great too.

Okay, guess!

Oh man, GREAT IDEA. I'll start working some mojo. (Aside: Martin Carr put out a nice solo LP last year, "The Breaks."

If there are any other bands you want to see reunite, let me know and I'll see who else I can conjure.

Good memory!

Indeed - there was indeed a slight transcription confusion that has since been corrected/cleared up.

I'll check out Kierston White — thanks for the tip!

I actually love Sturgill's voice and that record! Just didn't listen to it enough for it to make my best list. It would probably be in my top 50 or so. :)

Chapterhouse is still together!

Yeah—to reiterate what Josh said, I absolutely meant nothing insensitive when referencing Lush. I was thinking about it strictly from the perspective of what band I'd love to see again (or in Lush's case, for the first time). I could've easily said Catherine Wheel (which we did) or Boo Radleys. I feel badly it was…

Swervedriver is well worth seeing — I've seen them twice since they've reunited!

Mark actually was touring with the band Goldrush and made a record with them, "These Beautiful Ghosts," that was pretty good. He also did some work with the Morning After Girls. http://www.amazon.com/These…

That's absolutely right—the book sales were also killer. Whoever was buying music for the system had really godo taste.
