that would be eastern daylight savings time, where the Atomic! clock is now reading 12:09 and 53 seconds. Figure them time zones and set those Palm Pilots!

Out: Boomtown Rats
In: Bonk Jovially. I'd bet there are few people here who don't (if maybe a bit grudgingly) admire this for it's sheer 'rock star' romance and sense of triumph, or actually dislike it playing on their radio (Odds are that SoLack is one of the few, I'd venture to guess...).
