OK - I can't let a Maniacs thread go by without putting in my 2 cents...

I like these descriptions. *thinking a little more* I really like these
descriptions.

Wishing Chair for me!! Definitely one of my desert island discs. Our Time
in Eden would be second. On the European version of the disc - they've
added liner notes with lyrics in Spanish, French and German (in case anyone
cares..)

Why, you

I still love the lyrics on Wishing Chair. I can almost picture Natalie as
an idealistic teenager in Jamestown, thinking she could change the world
with her music. Scorpio Rising is my favorite Maniacs song (not because I
lived it, thank goodness, but I came kinda close many, many moons ago...).
Wow, Maniacs just conjure up so many old memories for me - sitting in the
dorm freshmen year, passionately analyzing In My Tribe, driving from Miami
up to Wittenberg to see them in the gym, laying in the grass at Deer Creek
while listening to Stockton Gala Days.
OK - I'm getting way too sentimental for a Monday morning - I've got to
work.
