Jill:

I have a small obsession with Elvis Costello, and the unplugged version of Deep, Dark Truthful Mirror is amazing.

I got to see him this year at Bumbershoot. Very cool; would have been cooler if I hadn’t been soaked by the downpour we got that afternoon.

4. LL Cool J – Going Back To Cali
5. Electric Light Orchestra – Telephone Line
6. Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls

8. New Order – Blue Monday
9. Pink – Missundazstood
10. Jason Mraz – Curbside Prophet

I don’t want to be the Prrrrrresident of Amerrrrrrica. Everybody always dominates my self-audit score. That’s because nobody puts Daryl Hall and John Oates in a corner!
