Thomas, you look like you should be working in a coal mine or a steel mill or somewhere ripped manly men toil. Lookin' pretty buff there my friend. You must have been working on the "Getting Stinky with Professor Thinky" exercise video.

(What if Bowie joined him on stage? Thomas got to play "Heroes" with him, a few years ago. Maybe we'll see Bob Weir in northern CA. Stranger things have happened.) Let's see... keeping it contemporary for a supporting act.... Robyn Hitchcock sounds great. Maybe Matthew Sweet, does he still tour? Aimee Mann? There's an independent band from Knoxville TN called Jag Star that has a lot of smart sensibility, as far as lyrics go. I think they're on Laguna Beach, though, so the venue would have too many 14-year-olds. Good music, though. How about Paul Westerberg? Massive Attack? I became a fan of Joe Jackson's last touring partner, Mary Lee's Corvette. Social Distortion and X still tour. How about Beausoleil? I spent 13 hours in my car this weekend, with an iPod on shuffle. I kept thinking about songs I'd like to hear Thomas cover. I'd love to see "Just Like Heaven," as the Red Devil audience did. I also think he could do a kick-ass "Radio Ga Ga." "To Live and Die in L.A.?" It'd be cool if Thomas did an English Beat cover for an encore. :) "Hot You're Cool" is my favorite GP & EB isn't currently doing it. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2006 18:59:44 -0800 (PST) From: Melissa Jordan Subject: Alloy: San Francisco peeps - check it out!

I have such the Wang Chung story - poor guys. When I'm more awake, I'll tell it. Let's just say, they had a very, very bad tour experience in suburban DC in 2002. Oy vey... "Points on the Curve" was one of my favorite albums of the 80s. - MJ http://merujo.blogspot.com John McJunkin wrote: Did Elaine bring up Wang Chung? "To Live and Die in L.A.?" OMG!

I realize it's after midnight in your neck of the woods, but I must hear the sordid details. I'm a VERY serious Wang Chung fan. Saw them open for the Cars on the Heartbeat City tour. They were supporting the Points on The Curve album. Jack, Nick, and Darren STILL kick me in the bum! I'll be patient and await your e-mail with the crappity story!
