CFTF is one I recall liking in my college days, but the cassette I had is no longer playable, so it’s been a while since I gave it a spin. Need to rectify that.

Rats and Toys in the Attic both rock hard. What a great album!

Unrelated to "Now Playing" -- there's a new Bird Streets album with the first single here if you haven't heard it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDMIgaEjMpY Jason Falkner back on this album producing and playing (and it sounds like it!)

Thanks for the tip. As much as I liked the first album, it was mostly because of Falkner. I don't think I listened to his last one and I didn't read the email I got about the new one.

Lots of great stuff here. It seems you prefer Todos Nacen Gritando since its release over All Born Screaming. It’s got something special. Thanks for all you do. :)

Cast- All Change (1995)- *** (I remembered why I didn't remember this record. It's kinda flat. Nothing terrible, but no great songs ...
