1: In The City (Primitive, but Away From the Numbers and Batman classics!)
2: This is the Modern World (This is the Modern World, Life Through a Window,
I Need You (Different song...) all great)
3: All Mod Cons: Their crowning glory  - too many good ones to list...
4: Setting Sons: (Eaton Rifles) I saw 'em after this tour.... Great show at
the S&M Civic in Santa Monica in '80.

I liked them as a bit of a Mod revival/punk, as well as two specifically
mod revival bands: Squire and Secret Affair on I-Spy Records....

Oh, yeah, ska = f(mod, reggae)

Oh, finally, I take the blame for starting the birthday thing, as I mentioned
Lennon's birthday.  Sorry, everyone....  Even though it is in my nature 
to be argumentative and name calling, I decided not be that way on computers.
Kinda geeky, that..

Hence I have pretty much stayed out of the fray...

Oh, I think I started the Weller thing, too... Might be taking too much credit 
for that, tho..
