I rely on Ecto for new stuff and it's seemed a little thin of late.

I agree with Dar's "Are You Out There" but the song of hers that does it more for me is "As Cool as I Am". Also Thea Gilmore "This Girl is Taking Bets" That llama thing reminded me of the Hampster Dance.

Best one, if you're willing to drive south, is CDepot in College Park, just north of University of Maryland right on Route 1 (south of the DC Beltway/Route 1 exit). There are a few other places, but CDepot has the biggest selection. ~Mark ____________________________________________________________________________________ Luggage? GPS? Comic books?

It was BBC1, The Heaven and Earth Show, and there was Thea, standing there singing her cover of Phil Ochs' "When I'm Gone" with Nigel on acoustic guitar. She was mid-song by the time I tuned in and she played out the show, so I don't know if there was an interview, if she discussed the song, etc. Anyone else catch it this morning?
