Yeah, I love Peter Gabriel. Would really love to hear the new material.

They got replaced by Live.

RIGHT? When was the last new record? 2002?

"I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MONKEY-FIGHTING SNAKES ON THIS MONDAY-TO-FRIDAY PLANE!"

Not a PG-13 movie, though.

The most recent record at the time had been Reality. Offered for those who may be interested in diving into the deep end.

I was already up to Let's Dance having listened to everything else in order to et ready for Blackstar. I went ahead and listened to Blackstar a few times on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Now, I think I'll resume listening to the rest. It's the best way I can think of.
