3. Goodbye Blue Sky/Pink Floyd
4. some Schütz motet recorded off an unknown LP

8. Fly Like An Eagle/Steve Miller Band
9. The Gloaming (Softly Open Our Mouths In The Cold)/Radiohead

Thanks -- that is a nice song, which I was not previously familiar with. I cannot find my IPod (iPod?) and am instead watching a movie.

6. You Don't Want Me Anymore/Steel Breeze (now we see the depth of my commitment to the no-skipping policy)

I cannot tell a lie -- when it came out, I bought their debut (only?) album on casette (at a Wherehouse in San Diego), which I must still have somewhere. Because of the high concept, however, Kilroy Was Here demanded to be purchased on vinyl...

[The Modesto Kid]

I believe I too own the Steel Breeze album, I think on vinyl, I think in a closet at my parents' house. Which is more embarrassing: a Steel Breeze record or a nigh-complete Alan Parsons Project collection?
