See how lucky people are to live in the UK? And even if they do get issued in the US the record company there will fluff up the track listing/artwork/ or replace album versions with dance mixes... Oh it's a sorry state of affairs. > Anyway....wow. Ten years.

Some people will use any excuse to moan about age. Perhaps people should get some Cod Liver Oil capsules in and wait for BBC Radio three to play some Thomas Dolby? I don't remember tGAoW the first time around... I was barely six. > Here's hoping we get a few more albums of which we can celebrate future > anniversaries.... Do you think he's paying attention or should you type that in capitals? With *cough* at the start. > And speaking of album chronologies....Lazlo?

Would he be open to Lazlo styled entries? I suppose I could ask him.
