Scott ~ it sounds good... can i be included if i went to BU/Hvd... for my degree and graduated w/ a double major from BU? does that count? Also, i'm more of a Husker Du Replacements Bob Mould Suicidal Tendendencies Butthole Surfers Public Image Circle Jerks Iggy Pop etc etc... kinda chick with some serious time constaints right now but hey, i'd love to be involved... would that be okay? I would love to be involved if this would fit in with your plan - also know a fair amount of filthy old blues stuff that would work pretty well... any thoughts? Must get back to writing up list... no distractions! just let me know... and oh, did you contact me through contact s.r.p re: Peaches. Let me know... i'll look for you ... ta ev... s.

oh, yeah, Sadi, I remember Yello, now they had some funny tunes to be sure. I have their 1991 "Essential" album. "Oh Yeah", "The Rhythm Divine", "The Race", "Drive/Driven", "Vicious Games", "Rubberband Man", "Of Course, I'm Lying"...they had a number of fun songs.

His column is called "The Five Songs On My Mind On March 30". Click on Scott's name under "Top Commentators" on the right hand of this window, and you will see his comments under the title.

Sadi, below is a page re. Dylan's UK chart history, at least as far as top 10 singles and albums are concerned. Thought you might find it interesting.

Hey Steve ~ Thanks for offering to help with questions re: any questions! That's a big help esp. with groups like Blancmange that i do know but have totally forgotten about until you jogged my memory, which is great... i adore you for that... i'll be looking them up. As i said above to Chantal, overall, i think the Ed.s are right and this can only make for a better and more thought out List. The List has always been popular (thanks to all who have and remain involved and those who get involved and new comers welcome) ~ We can only benefit from a more thought out list & you're right... I'm stretched pretty thin right now which makes it harder to get it done; between that and tech problems the list isn't as good as it ought to be... i want it be as good as possible; the best List about; that said, let's aim for that. With your and everyone's particpation i feel confident we can make that happen and we have... Let's hope Monday's interview as Blogcritic of the Month isn't too awful too awful... the ed's say it came out well and i trust them implicitly since they are good at what they do and i trust Eric Olsen totally as well... Thanks for understanding all this - till next Tuesday then... that's not too long! Cheers... and questions i'll post here. If you find out more about Blancmange or any other interesting group, do post! Best, as ever, s.

Thanks Chantal ~~ for the vote of confidence on the Ed.s who have been great through ths whole process and the congrats... as well! I hope i don't sound like too much of a dink in the interview...! but these things are what they are.. what can you do. I was honest, so i'll say that much... we'll see.. !! Honesty is the best policy to use the old cliche (sorry no accent, for some reason, my computer won't make accents the normal way ,but then, it seems to have A LOT Of problems... not nomrmal alt e, then e again to make the accent, which is what i used to do... any ideas... is that how you did it? all thoughts welcome... it's frustrating b/c i speak French & so feel totally stupid here... anyway.... thanks for understand.. and thanks for all. Overall, i think The List will be better & more thought out... ; )

Dear ALL ~ I will be, from now on, after much discusson with some of the Ed.s and some good advice, The List of the Moment would be best served for all of us if it came out once a week instead of twice; this way, i get to really focus on each song and what makes it special and why and why i've chosen it and i think that serves all of us better than twice a week (fun as that is)... We tend to do better when we do once a week and have something more to look forward to, and i'm hoping you'll all agree thta this is a better plan ~ i'm eager to hear what you all think, but i do have to say, i tend to agree with the Ed.s on this and would but would still love and value your opinion... The List has quickly become quite popular which is great and the way to keep it that way is to keep it quality and not simply qauntity ~ so that said, weigh in do, but i'm hoping that you'll agree with this decision and still come back for more each week as you have been so loyal and such a great and interesting crowd to talk with and discuss music... The List will appear every Tuesday as usual - so far, that's looking like that day. I'm also pleased to tell that as of Monday i will be Blogcritic of the Month, so you can read my silly interview then and larf larf larf at my silly answers about what i'd do if stranded on a desert island island and so on... I do hope you'll check it out, if for nothing else, the sheer comical value of it all... hey, why not? Anyway - i look forwad to hearing from all of you, and hey, if you're jonesing for work, you can always visit my work at my own site tant mieux Cheers, and i look forward to hearing from you... Sade.

I think we are like twins are musical tastes are so smiliar. The only question is which of us is the evil twin? I'm writing up a new list today. I'm with you on the Smiths, BlacMange and others on this list.
