	9:01pm steveL: Good Lord Almighty!
	9:04pm On the Yazoo: That got my attention !! Hey all
	9:07pm steveL: I would have loved Sunset Bombers. A year earlier than I guessed. Might explain the bits of sonic edge that might have led me to call them “punk”. In fairness, that was a pretty broad category in late 70s Denver.

	10:07pm ashestoashes: Maybe 4-5 inches.
	10:09pm ashestoashes: 7" is an ep of snow, 12 inches is a long playing storm.
	10:14pm efd: seems like a CD's worth of snow is no big deal by Vermont standards
	10:17pm Julie M: It doesn't snow like it used to in Vermont. Why, in MY day...
	10:18pm efd: ha, hi Julie!

	10:20pm Julie M: Hi, efd. I could imagine listening to this Modern Nature song with snow falling outside tonight. But I sure couldn't imagine shoveling it...
	10:22pm ashestoashes: One tends to shovel it listening to the frenetics of Clay Pigeon.
	10:23pm ashestoashes: At night you just listen to modern nature and watch it fall.
	10:23pm listener 126464: yeah this is nice
	10:23pm Julie M: True, true, ashestoashes. Enjoy the snow this eve, for tomorrow ye shall shovel.
