Why Marshall Crenshaw wasn't the biggest rock star in the 80s is beyond me. Did he ever record a song that wasn't perfect?

Cool tracks. man. One time in concert, Dylan sardonically played that before ending -- with no encore. Got a good chuckle out of that.

Today, found a jewel case for Lloyd Cole but can't find the disc -- yet. That guy's sharp.

Hope all of your business was taken care of and you had a nice weekend!

I love Marshall Crenshaw.

"Get Up Offa That Thing" has been coming up on my iPod a lot while I've been running lately. Nothing like James Brown to get you moving.
