Thanks for passing that on Chris! I was just on their site last week and
there was nothing there so this is HUGE news. My, My......and I'll be
first in line to buy (almost) each and every CD made of these shows. (uh,
can't go w/ Interior Design, Pulling Rabbbits and Gratuitous Sax, the only
outright duds in their catalog for me).
Hearing every song redone live by their band now(they'll need another
guitarist, tho) of the first six albums just stuns me.....
Woo-Freakin'-Hoo! :-D
Also, should have mentioned this here last week when it came in but after
over two years of work, the SHAKE SOME ACTION- The Ultimate Power Pop Guide
has arrived and Not Lame shipping. Not sure how many power pop fans are
left on this list, but I know there are some of ya out there still so come
on by and check this baby out. It comes with amazing CD of *true* power pop
rarities that will blow the serious fan away.
All the details are at this link:

(please note the special message about the postage on the book near the top,
especially, if you pay by PayPal)
I'm shipping all the folks who preordered it right now and should be through
the last of them in the next 3 days and then I'll be doing the new orders
middle/end of the week and into the following week.
So if you don't know what to ask for with a gift for yourself this coming
Holiday season, ponder this one! :-D
