Spin Magazine named Radiohead's OK Computer best album of the last 20 years.

You have wonderful taste in music Jody. Isn't it amazing how you can relive the past 20 years just by the music alone? Everything instantly comes back.

I almost had a heartattack when I realized that 20 years ago meant 1985!!!! Where has the time gone?

You have turned me on to such good music; if I could, I'd just lay down for a year with the headphones on and an i.v. drip and listen to all these albums. I understand they're each of a special time for you, but you do have good taste.

I want to share some of mine (and hear yours, too, Chelly!) but I'm just so bad with names. Just a second ... oh, man, I just checked the CD thing for the Johnny Clegg and Savuka album from '88/'89 that saved my life and got me away from husband #1 and it's missing and if it's gone the way of my Michelle Shocked album, that is just the last straw. I think it's Third World Child, anyway, my "most pivotal album of 1991". Absolutely.

Can I write back later?

You've turned me on to lots of great stuff too.
Where would I be with Hedwig?

You can write more at anytime darling.
