Thank you for all your hard work on this project. It's one of my favorite things on the web, and I always look forward to reading your posts. Have a happy holiday season through the new year, and I'll wait with baited breath for "G."

No problem. I love doing it. Have great Holidays and be prepared for 47 or so weeks of this next year as well!

Man, I have to go back and find your 'C' entries, I guess, to answer the burning question (unless you want to do it here, for me): Is the lead singer of Cugini ... Kevin DuBrow from Quiet Riot?
Because you know what? It is. Even if it isn't.

Haha! Maybe someone needs to ask him if he used to be known as Don Cugini.
Actually, listen to it again and think Sebastian Bach this time.

Wow - that Andy Fraser track is REALLY regrettable - especially for such a talented musician and writer!

You just made Toni Basil's day. Finally, Shoppin' From A to Z hits #1!

I HATED the Bee Gees in the '80s, and would routinely make fun of them any chance I got (many times on radio when I was doing a weekend air shift at local station). When they released "You Win Again," I was convinced it wouldn't chart. But it did, and I had to play song and temper my anti-Bee Gees rants.
Anyway, I just gave the song another spin, and, um, I really don't know where all my Bee Gees dislike came from.

"You Win Again" is a glorious, glorious thing. I was absolutely obsessed with it when it came out, and shattered when it didn't match its worldwide success here.

You certainly deserve the holidays off, but how about a guest Mellowmass appearance? You could cover those should've been Christmas hits from the 80's. I'll even start you off with one. http://eschorn.home.comcast.net/myfilelocker/Santa I Got Your Number.mp3 (yes, that's really Tommy Tutone)
Now, is the first occasion where I wish I would have expanded my collection to include the Christmas charts. I've been debating it for years and hell, there couldn't be that many songs to get but I've never moved to that. I went to the country charts instead, saw that I needed every C&W song ever made and stopped my quest right there.

Bottom Feeders is hands-down my favorite thing on the Web - and a reason to cherish every Wednesday. Thanks for all the great tunes and really putting the good, bad & ugly of the 80's into perspective. Can't wait for 2009!

FYI: David Foster & Olivia Newton-John are in fact the same person.
And this marks the second time that I've had to defend Toni Basil's Shoppin' From A-Z as a neat little novelty song.
You shall all bow down to the power of Toni Basil !

Ha. Well, it's hopefully the last time you have to defend her as I don't expect her name to come up again - unless of course there's some duet with Corey Hart that I'm forgetting about.

Do you have any other songs from the EP? (Conductor) "Buried Alive", "Night After Night"...

Yes, I am Don Cugini and that record was one of my wierdest and weakest. The record company was looking for Do Ya Think I,m Sexy.... Rod Stewart thing. Don

Don Cugini! Awesome. Thanks for commenting Don. Now that you say "Do You Think I'm Sexy" - yeah, I get that. "One of my..." says that you have more. Is there any place I can purchase some of your music?
