You still here? Really. In that case, shove this lot into a playlist, play it and it will be infinitely better than pouring over the last 9 months blogs to try to find them.
Biggest surprise was only one 10000 Maniacs song in there when I nearly married the lead singer, Natalie Merchant. When I say "nearly married" I mean "would've married if I'd ever met her (other than gazing in awe from row X in many concert venues in the 80s and 90s), she'd have fancied me (unlikely), she hadn't already been spoken for, she didn't live 6 time zones away and she wouldn't have been freaked out marrying a bloke who just wanted to hear her sing"
"If" doing the heavy lifting there...
Chester tomorrow when normal blog service resumed. On Sunday cos I'm not home til midnight.
