Oh man, sorry I had to work. BTW nice job going with "Reap the Wild Wind", possibly my favorite Midge Ure-era Ultravox single...

Thanks! "Primitive Painters" is an old favorite of mine. By old, I mean from when I was an undergrad in the late-1990s, not from when it originally was released.
As far as Ultravox goes, Melissa and I were chatting last night as to how both of us would say that our faves are "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" or "Reap the Wild Wind." I want to say that "Reap..." was played on KROQ when we were kids, but neither of us can remember. Melissa pointed out that "Vienna" seems like it's going somewhere, but doesn't. I think she has a point. However, it's alternately the cheesiest and most fucking awesome video I have ever seen. I'm trying to find the video online so that I can direct you all to it, but I can't. They play it on VH1 Classic during The Alternative sometimes.
