Adagio in D minor (Sunshine) - John Murphy

I See You/Step by Step (reprise) - Rich Mullins

"You who live in Heaven, hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth - Who are afraid of being left by those we love and who get hardened by the hurt - Do you remember when you lived down here where we all scrape - To find the faith to ask for daily bread - Did you forget about us after you had flown away - Well I memorized every word you said - Still I'm so scared I'm holding my breath - While you're up there just playing hard to get"

O Children - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

No More Setlists

Despite the gap in time since my last post I have in fact been broadcasting The Think Tank along with Tammy many Sunday mornings from 10 to Noon on KAOS 89.3fm in Olympia and online at kaos.evergreen.edu - I just haven't been sharing the setlists.

If my two followers and the dozens of bots that put me within the top 20 pages of various search engines demand it I'll reconsider.

The Think Tank has a Facebook page - the weeks that Tammy T are in charge usually see the setlists posted there.

Maybe I'll actually get around to presenting some content again.

Jan. 10 Think Tank Setlist

After removing all the old writings to storage and putting a padlock on the other blogs, the New Year came, and with it...came not the expected resurrection. The ashes of the Phoenix disappeared into the embers, the wind and rain took care of the rest.

I blame Facebook. I'd blame Myspace, but really, who even uses Myspace anymore? Out of curiosity I checked into my old Friendster account and had lots of emails and friend requests...all from cam whore bots.

When finally, after 10 days, I publish the first post of the new Grand, Elitist, Superior Knowing, it's yet again a playlist from The Think Tank.

Now, I have nothing against sharing my playlists, I wouldn't post them otherwise. Besides, when it comes to the Think Tank, whether it's me or Tammy that's hosting it, I'm shameless and want everyone to tune in, and for all of you to be able to acquire that song you heard that you just gotta hear again.

So now I'm adding links. And to make the list easier to read I'm just including Artist and Song. I figure if you click the links or google the artist you'll discover which album you want on your own.

The Think Tank, usually hosted by my wife Tammy, sometimes hosted by me, broadcasts Sunday mornings from 10 to Noon from KAOS 89.3fm in Olympia and online at kaosradio.org.
