Sorry, please bear with me while I agree with Ivan one more time. I
was very impressed right away with his drum work on Head Shrinkin'
Fun, and I know jack about drummers. He really propels those songs
along, giving them an "off the rails" feel that's just perfect for
what they are doing.
I don't know if I'm supposed to say this or not, but a very kind list
member showed me a video clip of Dave playing with The Ghastly Ones
during their recent show. HE WAS AWESOME. And Norman C. is no slouch
either. He played drums during their cover of a Sonic's tune. Anyway,
I didn't want to lord that over everyone, just trying to grease the
wheels so we can see the official announcement. (Hint - check the
Ghastly One's site, but it's not there yet)
Now excuse me while I wipe my nose...I may have something on it.

Gosh, Brian, stop that!!! That's not what I meant at all - I simply
meant that 'great minds think alike'! I certainly didn't think you
were kissing my ass by agreeing with me! I think we just both have
really damn good taste, that's all. So, please quit all that and
let's get back to praising Dave Klein, who definitely doesn't get
enough recognition... Man, that guy rules! Check out "David's Mood"
from Pier 13 for an awesome drum solo - sooooo full of groove and soul
as well as being flashy! Wow.
