  The child now lives near me (smart little guy) and Donna (the "missing Waif) ,his mother, is doing well and is a pal. The child is energetic but no louder than you'd expect!

oh noes page 2  {#Roflol}

Though I do wish those links were also at the top of the comments section, would occasionally make searching for a date a bit easier.

Every time I see this group's name I think, "Tom Waits" for a quarter of a second. Then, after my hopes are dashed I realize that I could use a bit more Tom Waits on this station...but either way, Radio Paradise is awesome.

They were down a Waif when I saw them in concert a few years back. The lead singer was pregnant. Unless... the child can be considered a waif, then they'd be up one. The concert was pretty loud. I wonder if the child is, too.

Just as soon as it fills up with Aussie ex-pats like here in UK, so.....never i guess

Oh and the version on the recent live album is better which is why this gets a 9 instead of the 10 it would otherwise receive.

Terrestrial radio would do much better by embracing artists like this. Otherwise, it's just the same-old forever.

Alright, this is totally nerdy. . .but has anyone here played the PC game Stronghold? And if so, did that opening guitar lick totally make you think of it?

Because it did me!

Since they're not Americans, maybe they're singing about Oz lighthouses. Which may still have yet to be automated.

No. Get your facts straight. There are plenty that are historic landmarks and remain in public hands.

Saw these guys in 2001 in a hotel room in Vancouver for the Big Night on the Drive. Even then, they had that mysterious quality which sets 3% of players apart.
