Wow, what a double cover; and I thought I wasn't a metalhead. Keep up the brilliant work Brian. Props to the ever-cheerful Tina; great job on the Trivia. I'm looking forward to #200 and hope you have great news.

Posted by: Marc at March 21, 2006 9:47 AMI intend this as a very high compliment, but Lucie Silvas sounds very much like Lynn Ahrens, the singer songwriter behind some of the Schoolhouse Rock American history songs, like "The Preamble" and "No More Kings." Very pretty voice.

Posted by: Austin at March 22, 2006 1:11 PMEcho was the drum machine. Ian was one of the Bunnymen
