This totally reminded me of the spoken-word interlude in the middle of Thomas Dolby's Key To Her Ferrari.

Good lord, I have that on my player, one of my favorite songs, right next to Hot Sauce and Airhead.

I need to get a CD copy of Aliens Ate My Buick - actually, I need CDs of all his early work. I'm one of those weirdos who likes the deeper cuts, so while I have Retrospectacle, it means I'm missing things like Hot Sauce or Cloudburst on Shingle Street from The Golden Age of Wireless.

I'm just thrilled to read on his blog that he's going to start recording new material again....
