awwwwwwwww....  just opened the site and I missed this by two songs !

I love the PSD button, now how about a PIA button, Play It Again; for times like these when one of my all time favorite songs just played.....and I missed it.

What ya think Bill, it's just one more button to code.  Love you guys!  Thanks for everything.

Ok - without looking them up, name 5 - just 5 Elvis Costello albums that you didn't like.  Otherwise...shut the ......

All I can think of now when I hear this is when Billy sang it to Alison in an episode of Melrose Place.  TV ruins everything.

Well that wasn't the best episode, IMHO, but the series as a whole was great.{#Guitarist}

I love this album. Wish he could've stayed with this band instead of forming the Attractions.
 

No, no, no.  The Attractions; Steve Nieve, Bruce Thomas and Pete Thomas, were a kick-ass band.  Pop music bands don't much better than they were.
