Skinny ties abound in this 1980 video from The Cars for "Touch And Go". This isn't an obscure track by any stretch of the word, it still gets airplay on classic rock raio. But I figured I'd include it because Panorama is kind of the "lost" Cars album.

This latest upgrade may just be what gets me fired from my Office Space-ish job that i hate so much!!!^^^ ano...

Bully for you, puffmagic!So, in addition, to the tagged song above, here's a few more songs to soundtrack my slide into catatonia:Boo Radleys - Lazy DayRide - Like A DaydreamChapterhouse - AutosleeperBuzzcocks - Bor...
Nuff o' this music stuff, let's get down to what Rock and/or Roll is all about - HAIR! I would like to inaugurate the first chapter in the official MOG Rock n' Roll Hair Gallery. There are so many categories to document and archive - verticalness; fros; color; length; feathers; lack of; etc. - please feel free to start your own chapter anytime the follicle feeling strikes. I'm starting out with...

If not, you can hear "*the Ramones track here*":http://electronictiger.net/avail/center.mp3, and "*the Steeleye track here*":http://electronictiger.net/avail/weaver1.mp3.)I did a post in which i touched (sort of incidentally) on the way stereo was handled in Sixties record production (mostly badly).*Spike* made a comment...
