Thanks...and a Todd Rundgren interview.

My most heartfelt thanks to Bob Dubrow and Mighty Slim for filling in for me while I was away in London. I am so grateful. Thanks, also, to David Monahan for yesterday's guest DJ performance. You can find the complete playlist on track-blaster.com.

Next week, lotsa music from the trip overseas. Who's a lucky listener then?

Meanwhile, here is a brand spanking new interview Todd Rundgren did with the Guardian on Tuesday. Check it out.

See ya on Thursday!

Lost & Found playlist for 4/11/13

LONDON IS THE PLACE FOR ME

Our Father,
Who art in Hendon
Harrow Road be Thy name
Thy Kingston come
Thy Wimbledon
In Erith as it is in Hendon.
Give us this day our Berkhampstead
And forgive us our Westminsters
As we forgive those who Westminster against us.
Lead us not into Temple Station
And deliver us from Ealing,
For thine is the Kingston
The Purley and the Crawley,
For Iver and Iver
