@avclub-97b2d5e5f92c333976018236d76658d9:disqus That gets me right in my BABUSHKA!

Did people go out for a smoke during the Rob Lowe tape?

The SADIES!  About as Canadian as a hockey stick to the chops and a 32 ounce (metric) of pipin hot Tim Hortons.

It's the only time anyone's ever been giddy going to Colma, CA.

Is Gaffney still in SF?  I saw him around a few times when he was here a few years back but he seemed ok to me. His self-released material on Bandcamp is a hoot.

Ahhhh, thanks to my Rhino 10-CD set of "NEW WAVE HITS of the 80s", I have "Cool Places" forever seared into my fecund subconsciousness.

Dude, i'm totally going to Camelot Music and pick up these tapes.

A bite from Wiedlin is worth two in the bush.
