~~~i'm with you, john.  and i'll say it here on the
list. (i HATE it when people write me offlist. it
gives me such mixed feelings. thanks for supporting
me, man, but why not in front of the crowd?? it's like
you don't want to be seen with me in front of the cool
kids? sorry, old memories there.)

i like a lot of stuff most people have never heard of.
 stuff that is old hat around here: jellyfish, FOW,
hell, sometimes even matthew sweet or del amitri. 
forget about CvS or michael carpenter or second
saturday or the daybirds or frisbie, you know?

but, i still have a real pop(ular) ear.  from growing
up listening to top 40 radio during the 80's? i don't
know why. john mayer, natalie merchant, counting
crows, matchbox 20 (that one i find myself not real
willing to admit, which is too bad, since i think you
like what you like, right?) and i recently heard the
'misundastood' (sp?) album from pink, and i like that
too.  i like things i can sing along with. a hook is a
hook is a hook.  it's that whole britney thing. 
sometimes, it's just a little ditty. and that should
be okay.
