We are taking over.....albeit very slowly:-P Love that you included Gary Numan. He means the world to me, especially the futuresque and icy synth work of his back when he was part of Tubeway Army. There are some old friends of mine that always play Replicas at parties. Never fails. What the hell, most of the times it's me. Btw Steve, are you all healed up by now, or does it still hurt like a *NI!*?

I sprained mine a year ago and was absolutely horrified of the prospect of no silly walks, dancing or football taking place the following two weeks:-P Regarding pop music: Have you ever checked out IAMAMIWHOAMI? Ridiculous name but rather stunning contemporary female fronted group. A bit of Siouxsee and Cocteau Twins in there too;-)

^ Nice blog Steve. Your candor and humility are as disarming as ever. I'm not familiar with most of the tracks you have listed but just wanted to say that I'm hopelessly addicted to the 'Sailing' track from Mike Oldfield's Man on the Rocks album which you reviewed for PA recently. Was this a single and a smasheroonie song? (I don't listen to any radio ever but it surely deserved to be a massive hit) You warned me of it's uber catchiness beforehand but it's really tantamount to a sleep virus. Glad your on the mend health wise.

I'm a fan of the NUMAN as well. You could probably call me a 'NUMANOID.'

I like your playlist and I like that you chose some non Prog acts as well. Good diversity.
Listen, I wanted to ask you what Gary Numan albums you really enjoy?
I really love his live album 'Living Ornaments' pt 1&2. It's awesome.

I feel you Steve. My grandfather sounds awfully close to your father in law. He's an old retired lumberjack, who before that was a farmer. So hard working all of his life, used to using his body and telling people he was on top of whatever issue he could help out with. Now he can hardly move. My folks and myself very often have to come and help him get out of bed, in and out of the house etc etc. My grandmother though wouldn't hear anything of professional help. You know like in a nurse dropping by 2 or 3 times daily to help out. No no no, she could definitely take care of her husband.
Then he got something called helvedes ild which translates into Hell Fire. He felt like his whole body was on fire, and there was little we or my grandmother could do to ease his pain. We called for a doctor, and he came and prescribed something. Anyway, we talked to him about the problems he'd been having, also the toilet thang, and then kindly asked him whether he'd like to give it a shot. Maybe the doc saying the same things we'd been saying would help.
It did, although first after we'd "translated" his words into geriatric speak:-P

I'm not sure any of this helps Steve, but let me say this: peace has arrived here after all of this. Oh the joy!
