Once a week, WBCN, the AOR station in Boston, plays good music on a
radio show called "Nocturnal Emissions".  So, I tuned in and heard
something interesting by Dead Can Dance, who sounded strangely
reminiscent of The Cocteau Twins.  In any case, on right after this was
a new show made by SPIN magazine.  This show was the first episode, and
it was an interview with and pieces of a concert by Husker Du.  They
were pretty good.  The show was written by Andea N'thal (or however you
spell that bogus name...).  It's probably syndicated on lots of
bletcherous AOR stations across the country, so you may want to listen
for this show in your neighborhood.

I've heard some of his new stuff on the radio recently that I actually
thought was pretty good.  And his little instrumental "Photograph" is
actually one of my favorite pieces of music ever.  Most of his stuff
seems pretty nondescript, however, if you ask me.  But what do I know?

I saw a piece of one of his concerts in the movie "Urgh!  A Music War".
He was driving around in little car on the stage for the whole song and
all the musicians were playing their instruments inside these things
that looked like high-tech phone booths.  What I want to know is how he
dragged all this junk around with him?

P.S.  I have on video tape some of the footage from 1979 British Pop and
Rock Music Awards.  Garry Numan won best male singer, and Kate gets to
give him the award, but he's not there -- he's in Philadelphia and
accepts the award over a live satelite link, looking and acting like
he's in tenth stage catatonia.

Later, Kate wins the award for best female singer, and when she accepts
the award she says something like "I'm glad I'm not here over satelite,
because it look like it really freaks you out!"
