Dude, we have GOT to stop doing this! The very last songs I downloaded the other night to my iPod were the Talking Heads' "Stay Up Late," "Wild Life" and "Life During Wartime." How coincidental is that?! Man, I miss that band! What great live shows. How I wish I'd gotten to see them perform.

And while I was at it, I snatched a remake of "Starman," the old Bowie tune given a modern take by the band Golden Smog (an odd assortment of luminaries from other revered alt-rock bands). I normally don't like remakes (and I *LOVED* DB's original), but this version is chillingly awesome.

By the way, the Golden Smog album is entitled "Blood On The Slacks" and I just have to chuckle at the clever reference and nod to the master.

As for the photos, I thought you lived in Texas?? Looks beautiful! You know, when us New Yorkers think of Texas, we conjure up visions of rolling sand dunes, tumbleweeds and oil wells, a la Saudi Arabia or the African Kalahari or something. Very pretty place you live in. However, can't stop thinking of that line...how did it go..."There's a hoot-owl hanging out' my window now, for six nights in a row. She's calling to me, and I know..."

Finally, Casbeers. Wow! Interesting place. Would love to go there for the Gospel Brunch. Kinda limited Tex-Mex menu, eh? But the place sure makes up for it in personality! (How were the enchiladas??) Everything must truly be bigger in Texas. It'll be a must-visit when I get the VW Camper fixed-up and running and I head out west on my (seventh) sojourn (coming soon!). Hope you won't be on some mission in some far-away land by then...

Uh huh. My coincidence is a little more of a stretch than Bob's, but last week, I watched the DVD of "Stop Making Sense" for the first time in a year or so.
