Well. Andy Zax may be the only reason (other than you of course, efd!) to make me lift my head & throw off my mourning veil (note what state I live in, and note I stayed up all last night listening to election returns...)

@Jake - Donny O. was my very first crush. When I first saw the Simpsons episode ft. Lisa's "Non-threatening Boys" magazine, I almost choked with laughter based in self-recognition. Next idols = Eric Heiden & Bucky Dent. Also Thurman Munson, bizarrely enough, Thurman's poster was at the head of my bed.

Lloyd Cole lives in Easthampton Mass, very close to where Andy Zax was recently hanging...

Hey Andy!

john:

So this would be a bad time to show my Lloyd Cole fanboy credentials (four shows dating back to 1985, every imaginable record) and say that I'm one of only two people I know who's actually kind of disappointed by Standards? I do love the cover of California Earthquake, and the City Winery show was nice, but he seemed like he was a little out of sorts.
Avatar 9:45pm
Holly in NC:

Lloyd Cole's collab with Roedelius is really interesting, and did not come up last week. Unless I was napping, which is always possible.

Also I should've ackowledged Danica McKellar rather than her character
