Which Songs? Narrowing from 53 to 12

This is - for me - a difficult decision, of course. Cut to a shot of me declaring dramatically, "I love all my babies equally", which would be complete bullshit, so I won't say it. Nope... I have my favorites. Of that you can be sure.

That said, if you're familiar with any of these songs from the Starfire / Mickey Torpedo / Quik Fixx days, and you have YOUR favorites (whether it's YES PLEASE or NO THANK YOU), please share your opinion!

You can do it by replying here (my ego is strong enough)... Or, if you prefer to do it privately, just text me, email me, call me, snail mail me, carrier pigeon me, chat with me, mind-mend with me, carve it into a tree that you know I walk past, send a message in a bottle, use smoke signals, or - if we're close enough - whisper softly in my ear.

By the way, this is a 9 to 12 month project, so if you're not the impetuous type, take your time - meditate, consult the I-ching, flip a few tarot cards, roll some dice, trek your favorite spiritual path, study diligently, and then, only when you're ready - share your thoughts with us/me.

You will be heard!
