Disc 10 / 48

Another disc without much of a theme to it.

"Romeo and Jane" is one of the songs I kind of tripped over while looking for stuff to put on the Timothology. Tonio K. was one of the Crickets post-Buddy-Holly and did his own thing later on with the spectacular album "Life in the Food Chain"; if The Cars and Tom Lehrer were the same person they'd be Tonio K. My favorite of his albums is "Romeo Unchained", which starts out with "True Confessions" (which I liked enough to put on disc 01) and also has this disc's cut. I don't think I've ever heard a better song about the tabloid mentality was going to destroy the 1980s and it's also metafictionally awesome.

Hey, look! "Keem-O-Sabe", "Apache" and "Comanche" are all instrumentals on this disc!
