Yay!

I'm sitting here idly listening to my Launchcast station and what do I hear very much to my surprise? Sheila Chandra! I didn't think I'd ever see the day. They've finally got Sheila on Launchcast! My life is complete.

Okay, my life isn't complete at all, but I'm still pleased.

Y'know, I haven't even heard Roland's solo stuff on my Launchcast station yet! Might have something to do with the ongoing disputes with the record labels--there are some albums marked as "available on Launchcast" which a LC user can hear on other people's stations but not on their own, which causes no end of confusion.

Yeah, I'm a fan of Orzabal's music myself--but you probably guessed that by now. :-)

some of his melodies on the early albums are phenomenal (i love "the working hour" to distraction), and his voice got better & better. i remember the Post saying of him, when they toured years ago, that his voice had "operatic sweep." he's a guilty pleasure somehow, though -- not PC, or something. they bore the stigma of being too popular with the teeny boppers in the mid-80's. musically he's quite creative. and he did introduce us to Oleta Adams! thanks, roland. :)
