and the two record collections shall become one

[gurdonark]

One of the advantages of marrying after 30:
sorting through the twin music collections to glean all the best music. Translation: "Hey, that's not your Lene Lovich! Yours is in the other box! That's *my* Lene Lovich".

The latest 60s hits half hour informercials, with all the videos of folks swaggering around mike stands, prompted my wife to point out that the real day the music died was the day they invented the cordless microphone.

I listened to Lene Lovich's "Lucky Number" twice today, on my cassette, which was in the *other* box.

I used to do a wicked calypso cover of "Lucky Number." Have you ever read Bret Easton Ellis' Less Than Zero? A Lene character is briefly mentioned on the West Coast during the early 'eighties and I believe that's his homage to Lovich.

I had read Less than Zero, but didn't make the connection. That's pretty cool to think about.
I do a reasonably good "Lucky Number", but I think I'm probably much better on "Say When".

I love Lene Lovich. What a goofy time for music, those early new age years....
