Keith and the Impact Allstars — RaindropsIt looks innocuous enough: more so when you find out it’s a cover of “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head”. Keith could be one of any number of reggae Keiths, known or unknown. It’s[…]

All signs are pointing towards Exposé lately. This past month definitely; this past week most strikingly. Last weekend I finally upgraded Exposed to CD ($1.99 at the Princeton Record Exchange!). And just yesterday, the best eBay score of my life arr[…]

Tom’s Top Twelve
Since we seem to be ‘back’, as it were.
KARDINAL OFFISHAL – “Belly Dancer”
SCOOTER – “Weekend!”
