Coming up for air very briefly... I found Big Linda's MySpace page which, conveniently, has a video of them performing "Windpower": http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=24328005 It's actually a pretty good, rocking cover of "Windpower." I never imagined hearing it this way, but it's not bad. For me, it has a little Pearl Jam-y feel to it. Apparently, it will be on their new album. And now, back to The Proposal That Ate My Brain...

I noticed that TMDR is one of their MySpace friends (I have a whopping 6 - Tom, naturally, Neil Finn, Tim Finn, Thomas Dolby, Crowded House, and William Steffey). I really liked their version of the song, especially how the rhythm section drives it along. Kudos to them and to the reviewer for knowing it!
