Because she's there?

Good???????  Hmmphh!

We already were, but it's great if someone wants to talk about more of
them.

Eh, they're okay....

Well I'm not a Siouxsie Sioux expert (though she's really great -- and I
knew about the singles compilation album), but a true fan doesn't need
to buy such an album, because they already have bought all the singles
(especially to get all the non-album B-sides, if Siouxsie does that...),
Of course, a true fan buys the album anyway....

> Simple Minds - It's Reel to Reel Cacophony

Well I hope the stuff that you are raving about is better than "Don't
You Forget About Me"....  Which I'd find fairly easy to believe....

> Talking Heads - god-like

No argument.  Though no "Talking Heads" approaches "My Life In The Bush
of Ghosts".

A goof???  He was great!

Yup.  (I think someone's going to flame at me now....)

Killing Joke and Nash the Slash in thew same place!  And I missed
them?!?!?!?  How can I continue life?

But what?  Go right ahead....
