We've reached a fairly momentous point.

#125. We weren't actually supposed to interview them, just get a drop seg ID for the college radio station.

But guilty as charged. And not a moment of regret.

You may be right about the intent of the visit downstairs.

I was initially amazed that you made it all the way to #125, but then of course you found your way to the Harriet Wheeler link.

...And I'll still debate about "Lost Cause" to whoever will listen.

Also: I was on a rooftop in Brooklyn at THREE in the morning this summer; does that count?

[coffeefortwo]

If you saw the five bridges and the Empire State Building then I'd damn well say it counts.

I never could have made that move to New York City and lived the life that goes with the song, but when I hear that song I can almost envision the alternate reality version of myself that could have done it.

I think it's really cool that you're doing it. You're kinda my hero.

[inquiet]

jesus. not only am i stuck three years ago on showtunes, i have this mountain looming?

[coffeefortwo]

I assumed you'd given up. Have showtunes done you in that thoroughly?

Please note I used the phrase "As Many Songs As You Care To Post." I don't expect anyone else to post 200.

But I'll admit it would be cool if they did.

[coffeefortwo]

As I noted to inquiet, I don't expect anyone else to opt for two hundred songs.

Though I have a feeling that you're on the people that could pull off that number and more.

[coffeefortwo]

Do I get a vote?

For the record, that Del Shannon thing did go down just the way you remember it.

And is it funny that, from about number 20 on, I was like, "Where the hell is 'My Wife and My Dead Wife?' What's WRONG with him?" And yeah, I laughed out loud when I finally got to the Robyn Hitchcock section.

Thanks for this post...it brought back a lot of our Point days. ;-)

Wow. I figured that was too good to be true.

The Point memories are the most distant, but they're also the strongest.
