Why not? Therein lies the fun.

Yes, but not in the last 6 months. I listen again and report back.

Ever wondered how someone gets a nickname like "T Bone"? Things like
that keep me up at night sometime.

Ganesha is the Diety Of The Week (c). All thanks up through next
Tuesday should be directed to him (it?).

*raises eyebrow* Did you miss the ;-) in my statement above?
Whatever you're sitting on, hop off it, and relax a little. This is a
laid back kinda place, right Melissa? ;-)

At the expense of musical diversity, as evidenced in GDBD. Looks like
Jack might be exerting a little influence in that direction, Ganesha
willing. Sounds to my ears that 'Moth' and 'Anyway' are a good step
in that direction.
I think Ric is a better producer than Linford would be.

This is not a point I was disputing. Apparently, you've
misunderstood my position here as resident devil's advocate. ;-)
I've got 'June' cranked right now. Brian is playing a laid-back, yet
intricate beat that is perfect for the song, especially the way it
interacts with the bass.

Nope. If that happened, it was during the late 95-on period when I
was temporarily out of the loop. I can still see in my head, clear
as yesterday, a scene from my first OTR show, _Eve_ tour, circa '94.
Linford wearing his bow tie, jacket and funny hat, just playing a
groove with his head back and his eyes closed while Ric was wailing
off in some other guitar world. Karin was smiling, head down, swaying
to the music.

ROTFL. How long you been reading the list? If you've read for more
than a week, you'd know I wasn't disturbed for a second. Stick
around...read the archives, and have fun.
Why am I still at work?
