@RevRabbit: It’s a Julian Cope collab from the early, early days, “Echo & the Bunnymen's debut single "The Pictures on My Wall" was released on Bill Drummond & David Balfe's Zoo Records in May 1979, the B-side being the McCulloch/Cope collaboration "Read It in Books" (also recorded by The Teardrop Explodes approximately six months later as the B-side of their final Zoo Records single "Treason"). McCulloch has subsequently denied that Cope had any involvement with the writing of this song on more than one occasion.”

'Crocodiles' was 1 of the 1st "cool" lps I ever acquired, based solely on a good review in Rolling Stone (!) My much older sister had to go to New Haven to procure for me, quite a big deal.

"Evan'sTheme"! I actually remember that one. Yeah, Dave the Spazz's interview with Tommy James was primo, I was just recently thinking I should go back and revisit it in the archives. Highly recommended if anyone missed it the first time!

FEELINGS!

Last cut backwards is helpful when dealing with listeners distracted by the intake of various stimulants.

(Nothing more than feelings.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:40pm
Ike:

YES, @Holly! I'm a backwards-back-announcing partisan. Always back-announce starting with the LAST track and GO BACK FROM THERE. That way if somebody tunes in part of the way through and is operating heavy machinery, having sex, or doing something else precluding checking the playlist, they can count back and figure out which track was which.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:40pm

last cut; back. anything else is a severe ass pain for folks who want to note a song and are listening the old-fashioned way.

They had to old-school slice me open to get mine out, hence the staples. The surgeon said it was turning gangrenous before it burst. He said he's never seen a gallbladder in as bad of shape as mine.
